Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention est relative à une lampe d'éclairage électrique portative, notamment lampe frontale, comprenant un module d'éclairage monté dans un boîtier avant, un dispositif d'alimentation électrique connecté électriquement au module d'éclairage, un organe d'appui arrière, et des moyens de fixation de la lampe sur la tête de l'utilisateur, reliant le boîtier avant et l'organe d'appui arrière. Lesdits moyens de fixation comprennent :

  • un lien souple fixé à l'organe d'appui arrière, et un dispositif de serrage ayant un organe de préhension, et des moyens de mise sous tension en fin de blocage,
  • et des moyens de coulissement dudit lien pour rapprocher le boîtier avant et l'organe d'appui arrière.
The invention relates to a portable electric lighting lamp, including a headlamp, comprising a lighting module mounted in a front housing, a power supply device electrically connected to the lighting module, a rear support member , and means for fixing the lamp on the user's head, connecting the front housing and the rear support member. Said fixing means comprise:
  • a flexible link fixed to the rear support member, and a clamping device having a gripping member, and tensioning means at the end of blocking,
  • and sliding means of said link to bring the front housing and the rear support member.

État de la techniqueState of the art

De façon habituelle, une lampe d'éclairage électrique portative, de type lampe frontale, est munie d'un bandeau élastique de fixation réalisé au moyen d'une sangle. Le bandeau relie le boîtier avant, sur lequel est monté le module d'éclairage, et l'organe d'appui arrière recevant l'alimentation électrique. Un tel dispositif connu est décrit dans le document DE 20 2005 013 598 U1 .In the usual way, a portable electric lighting lamp, of the headlamp type, is provided with an elastic fastening strip made by means of a strap. The strip connects the front housing, on which is mounted the lighting module, and the rear support member receiving the power supply. Such a known device is described in the document DE 20 2005 013 598 U1 .

Les documents FR 2833069 et US 2009/0323317 mentionnent une lampe frontale utilisant un dispositif de fixation à sangles agencé entre le boîtier d'éclairage avant, et le boîtier d'alimentation arrière. Le dispositif de fixation comporte une première sangle élastique plate en forme de bandeau entourant la tête de l'utilisateur, et une deuxième sangle plate coiffant la tête de l'utilisateur dans la partie médiane. Le règlage s'effectue au moyen de boucles permettant d'ajuster la longueur des sangles.The documents FR 2833069 and US 2009/0323317 mention a headlamp using a strap fastener arranged between the front light box and the rear power box. The fixing device has a first flat band-shaped elastic strap surrounding the user's head, and a second flat strap capping the user's head in the middle portion. The trimming is done by means of loops to adjust the length of the straps.

Un tronçon plus ou moins important du bandeau peut être dédoublé, de façon à permettre un réglage de sa dimension principale et à s'adapter à différents tours de tête. Le bandeau est équipé à cet effet d'une boucle de réglage, mais il est nécessaire d'effectuer le réglage symétrique en deux temps avec une boucle unique décentrée à droite ou à gauche.A more or less important section of the strip can be split, so as to allow adjustment of its main dimension and to adapt to different head turns. The headband is equipped for this purpose with a control loop, but it is necessary to perform the symmetrical adjustment in two stages with a single loop off center to the right or left.

Ce type de solutions connues présente cependant certaines limites, liées notamment à l'utilisation du bandeau à sangle plate. En effet, ce dernier présente une dimension transversale, ou largeur, relativement élevée de sorte à recouvrir une zone importante de la tête de l'utilisateur. La présence de ce bandeau peut ainsi gêner dans certaines conditions, l'évacuation de la transpiration.This type of known solutions, however, has certain limitations, particularly related to the use of the flat strap band. Indeed, the latter has a transverse dimension, or width, relatively high so as to cover a large area of the head of the user. The presence of this headband can thus interfere with certain conditions, the evacuation of perspiration.

Un tel bandeau connu est peu « respirant », manque de stabilité sur la tête de l'utilisateur, et ne facilite pas le centrage de la lampe lors du réglage.Such a known headband is not very "breathable" lack of stability on the head of the user, and does not facilitate the centering of the lamp during adjustment.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

L'invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur précité, et vise à réaliser une lampe d'éclairage électrique portative qui soit d'un usage confortable, facile à mettre en place, et ayant une bonne stabilité sur la tête de l'utilisateur.The invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art, and aims to achieve a portable electric lighting lamp which is comfortable to use, easy to implement, and having good stability on the head of the 'user.

La lampe selon l'invention est remarquable en ce que le lien souple est formé par une cordelette, un lacet, ou un fil élastique, et que l'organe de préhension du dispositif de serrage est centralisé sur l'organe d'appui arrière.The lamp according to the invention is remarkable in that the flexible link is formed by a cord, a lace, or an elastic thread, and that the gripping member of the clamping device is centralized on the rear support member.

Conformément à l'invention, l'emploi d'un lien d'attache, de type lacet plat ou rond, ou cordelette, permet de pallier les limites du bandeau, utilisé dans l'art antérieur. En effet, étant donné qu'un tel lien présente une section très inférieure à la largeur d'un bandeau classique, son emprise sur la tête de l'utilisateur est bien moindre que celle du bandeau. Cet élément n'entrave donc pas de manière significative l'évacuation de la transpiration, ce qui évite par ailleurs tout glissement intempestif de la lampe. L'organe de préhension du dispositif de serrage étant avantageusement centralisé sur l'organe d'appui arrière, une simple traction sur l'organe de préhension assure à la fois le blocage du dispositif de serrage, et le positionnement symétrique du boîtier avant renfermant le module d'éclairage.According to the invention, the use of an attachment link, flat or round lace type, or cord, makes it possible to overcome the limits of the band, used in the prior art. Indeed, since such a link has a section much smaller than the width of a conventional banner, its grip on the head of the user is much less than that of the banner. This element does not significantly impede the evacuation of perspiration, which also prevents any inadvertent slipping of the lamp. The gripping member of the clamping device being advantageously centralized on the rear support member, a simple traction on the gripping member ensures both the locking of the clamping device, and the symmetrical positioning of the front casing enclosing the lighting module.

Le lien souple peut aussi être subdivisé en deux parties élémentaires coopérant avec des bloqueurs associés.The soft link can also be subdivided into two elementary parts cooperating with associated blockers.

Il est également possible de prévoir un enrouleur fixé sur l'organe d'appui arrière.It is also possible to provide a winder attached to the rear support member.

La lampe conforme à l'invention peut comporter tout ou partie des caractéristiques suivantes, prises isolément ou selon toute combinaison techniquement compatible :

  • le lien souple est formé par une cordelette non étirable, un fil élastique, ou un lacet ;
  • l'organe de préhension est formé par une boucle du lien, laquelle fait saillie selon une longueur variable par rapport à une face de butée de l'organe d'appui ;
  • les moyens de mise sous tension comprennent un organe de blocage présentant une position de blocage du lien, et une position de libre déplacement ;
  • l'organe de blocage est apte à venir en appui contre la face de butée de l'organe d'appui ;

Description d'un mode préférentiel de l'inventionDescription of a preferred embodiment of the invention

Dans ce qui suit, les termes « avant », « arrière », « supérieur », « inférieur », « horizontal » et « vertical » sont relatifs à une lampe portée par un utilisateur en position debout, tête droite. Comme le montre la figure 1, la lampe frontale 1 conforme à l'invention comprend tout d'abord un module d'éclairage avant 10, monté dans un boîtier avant 12 reposant contre le front de l'utilisateur, comme illustré en figure 2. Le module d'éclairage comprend au moins un ou deux générateurs de lumière 14, par exemple du type diode LED ou autre. Ces différents éléments ne font pas partie de l'invention, de sorte qu'ils ne seront pas décrits plus en détail. La lampe 1 comprend en outre, de façon connue en soi, un dispositif arrière 20, qui est relié au module 10 par un câble 22, de façon à en assurer l'alimentation électrique. Ce dispositif arrière 20 est monté sur un organe d'appui 26 de forme triangulaire, qui va être décrit plus en détail dans ce qui suit.In what follows, the terms "front", "back", "upper", "lower", "horizontal" and "vertical" are relative to a lamp worn by a user in a standing position, head straight. As shown in figure 1 , the headlamp 1 according to the invention comprises first a front lighting module 10, mounted in a front housing 12 resting against the front of the user, as illustrated in FIG. figure 2 . The lighting module comprises at least one or two light generators 14, for example of the LED diode type or other. These different elements are not part of the invention, so they will not be described in more detail. The lamp 1 further comprises, in a manner known per se, a rear device 20, which is connected to the module 10 by a cable 22, so as to ensure the power supply. This rear device 20 is mounted on a support member 26 of triangular shape, which will be described in more detail in the following.

Le boîtier avant 12 et l'organe d'appui arrière 26 sont reliés par des moyens permettant la fixation de la lampe 1 sur la tête de l'utilisateur. Ces moyens de fixation comprennent tout d'abord deux sangles 30, s'étendant de part et d'autre du boîtier 12, de façon sensiblement horizontale lorsque la lampe est portée. On notera que ces sangles sont relativement courtes, à savoir qu'elles ne recouvrent qu'une faible partie de la tête, en utilisation. Chaque sangle est enfilée, à son extrémité opposée à la platine, dans une fente 32 appartenant à une bride de liaison 34. De plus, chaque bride définit, dans sa partie arrière, une gorge 36 permettant le passage d'un élément filiforme ou lien souple 40.The front housing 12 and the rear support member 26 are connected by means for fixing the lamp 1 on the head of the user. These fixing means comprise firstly two straps 30, extending on either side of the housing 12, substantially horizontally when the lamp is worn. Note that these straps are relatively short, that they cover only a small part of the head, in use. Each strap is threaded, at its end opposite the plate, into a slot 32 belonging to a connecting flange 34. In addition, each flange defines, in its rear part, a groove 36 allowing the passage of a filiform element or link flexible 40.

Le lien souple 40 possède deux extrémités 42, dont chacune est fixée sur l'organe d'appui arrière 26. Chaque extrémité 42 est terminée par un patin 44, assurant à la fois son immobilisation par rapport à l'organe d'appui 26, ainsi qu'un contact confortable pour l'utilisateur. Le lien 40 définit ensuite deux premiers brins intermédiaires 46, reliant un patin et une gorge 36 correspondants, ainsi que deux autres brins intermédiaires 48, reliant chaque gorge avec le sommet de l'organe d'appui. On notera que les brins 46 et 48 s'étendent côté à côté entre la gorge de renvoi et l'organe d'appui.The flexible link 40 has two ends 42, each of which is fixed on the rear support member 26. Each end 42 is terminated by a pad 44, ensuring both its immobilization with respect to the support member 26, as well as a comfortable contact for the user. The link 40 then defines two first intermediate strands 46, connecting a corresponding pad and groove 36, as well as two other intermediate strands 48, connecting each groove with the top of the support member. It will be noted that the strands 46 and 48 extend side by side between the return groove and the support member.

Les deux brins 48 pénètrent ensuite dans des orifices 50, ménagés dans l'organe d'appui 26, de sorte qu'ils forment une boucle 52. Cette dernière coopère avec un bloqueur 54, de type connu en soi, qui possède une position verrouillée sur la boucle, ainsi qu'une position de libre coulissement le long de cette boucle, de façon à être solidarisé sélectivement en différents emplacements de celle-ci.The two strands 48 then penetrate into orifices 50, formed in the support member 26, so that they form a loop 52. The latter cooperates with a blocker 54, of known type, which has a locked position on the loop, and a position of free sliding along this loop, so as to be selectively secured at different locations thereof.

Le lien 40 est de type isolé, à savoir qu'il n'est pas lié à un autre élément identique, notamment par tissage. De façon avantageuse, il possède une dimension transversale relativement faible, par exemple comprise entre 3 et 10 mm. Les sangles 30, tout comme le lien 40, peuvent être soit élastiques, soit non étirables axialement tout en possédant une certaine souplesse latérale, de façon à être replié(e) sur soi-même. La sangle 30 est par exemple formée par un tronçon tissé habituel, alors que me lien souple est par exemple formé par une cordelette non étirable, ou bien par un fil élastique, ou encore un lacet.The link 40 is of isolated type, namely that it is not linked to another identical element, in particular by weaving. Advantageously, it has a relatively small transverse dimension, for example between 3 and 10 mm. The straps 30, like the link 40, can be either elastic or axially non-stretchable while having a certain lateral flexibility, so as to be folded (e) on oneself. The strap 30 is for example formed by a usual woven section, while me flexible link is for example formed by a non-stretchable cord, or by an elastic thread, or a lace.

L'invention recouvre donc trois possibilités pour réaliser les moyens de fixation, à savoir des sangles 30 et un lien 40 tous élastiques, ou bien des sangles non étirables et le lien élastique, ou encore les sangles élastiques et le lien non étirable.The invention thus covers three possibilities for producing the fastening means, namely straps 30 and a link 40 all elastic, or non-stretchable straps and the elastic link, or the elastic straps and the non-stretchable link.

L'utilisateur place tout d'abord le boîtier avant 12 et l'organe d'appui arrière 26 autour de sa tête, dans la configuration définitive qu'ils doivent adopter. Puis, il tire sur la boucle 52, laquelle forme un organe de préhension, selon la flèche F1 à la figure 1. Ceci conduit, d'une part à faire coulisser le lien 40 le long des gorges 36 selon les flèches F2 et, d'autre part, à mettre en tension les moyens de fixation formés par les sangles et le lien. Il en résulte un rapprochement mutuel du boîtier avant 12 et de l'organe d'appui arrière 26. L'utilisateur maintient ensuite la boucle dans la position souhaitée ainsi obtenue, puis fait coulisser le bloqueur 54 jusqu'à le placer en butée contre la face arrière 26' de l'organe d'appui 26, selon la flèche F3 à la figure 2. Enfin il verrouille à nouveau le bloqueur sur la boucle 52, de sorte que le lien est maintenu dans cette position.The user first places the front housing 12 and the rear support member 26 around his head, in the final configuration they must adopt. Then, it pulls on the loop 52, which forms a gripping member, according to the arrow F1 at the figure 1 . This leads, on the one hand to slide the link 40 along the grooves 36 according to the arrows F2 and, secondly, to put in tension the fastening means formed by the straps and the link. This results in a mutual reconciliation of the front housing 12 and the rear support member 26. The user then maintains the loop in the desired position thus obtained, then slides the blocker 54 to the abutment against the rear face 26 'of the support member 26, according to the arrow F3 at the figure 2 . Finally it locks again the blocker on the loop 52, so that the link is maintained in this position.

Les figures 3 et suivantes illustrent des variantes de réalisation de l'invention. Sur chaque figure, les organes mécaniques analogues à ceux des figures 1 à 2 y sont affectés des mêmes numéros de référence, augmentés de 100 sur la figure 3, 200 sur la figure 4, ...., 500 sur la figure 7.The figures 3 and following illustrate alternative embodiments of the invention. In each figure, mechanical members similar to those of Figures 1 to 2 are assigned the same reference numbers, increased by 100 on the figure 3 , 200 on the figure 4 , ...., 500 on the figure 7 .

Sur la figure 3, la boucle 152 de l'élément filiforme ou lien 140, ainsi que le bloqueur 154 qui lui est associé, sont également placés en partie haute de l'organe d'appui 126. En revanche chaque brin intermédiaire 148, formant cette boucle terminale, s'étend en partie basse puis circule le long d'un renvoi 149, aménagé sur le support.On the figure 3 , the loop 152 of the filiform element or link 140, as well as the blocker 154 which is associated with it, are also placed in the upper part of the support member 126. On the other hand, each intermediate strand 148, forming this end loop, extends at the bottom and then runs along a reference 149, arranged on the support.

Sur la figure 4, la boucle 252 du lien souple 240, ainsi que le bloqueur 254 qui lui est associé, sont placés en partie basse de l'organe d'appui 226. Dans ce cas, cet organe d'appui est par exemple disposé de façon symétrique, par rapport à celui 26 de la figure 1, à savoir que sa pointe est dirigée vers le bas.On the figure 4 , the loop 252 of the flexible link 240, and the blocker 254 associated therewith, are placed in the lower part of the support member 226. In this case, this support member is for example arranged symmetrically, compared to that 26 of the figure 1 that is, its tip is pointing downwards.

Sur la figure 5, le lien souple 340 présente des dimensions supérieures à celles de l'élément 40, à savoir qu'il s'étend sensiblement sur toute la circonférence de la tête de l'utilisateur, alors que les sangles sont supprimées. Dans ces conditions, cet élément est directement lié au boîtier avant 312, avec par exemple une possibilité de coulissement le long d'une gorge 336 ménagée dans ce boîtier. Afin d'assurer une fixation fiable, on préfère alors que cet élément 340 soit élastique.On the figure 5 , the flexible link 340 has dimensions greater than those of the element 40, namely that it extends substantially over the entire circumference of the head of the user, while the straps are removed. Under these conditions, this element is directly linked to the front housing 312, with for example a possibility of sliding along a groove 336 formed in this housing. In order to ensure reliable fixation, it is preferred that this element 340 be elastic.

De façon avantageuse, l'utilisateur peut régler la tension du lien 340, même après avoir mis en place le bloqueur dans sa position définitive. A cet effet, on prévoit une bandelette 341 munie de deux canaux 341', le long desquels peuvent coulisser les deux brins du lien. On conçoit que, en déplaçant cette bandelette le long de ces brins selon la double flèche F4, on modifie la tension exercée sur le lien. Il est cependant à noter que la présence de cette bandelette de réglage est optionnelle.Advantageously, the user can adjust the tension of the link 340, even after setting up the blocker in its final position. For this purpose, there is provided a strip 341 provided with two channels 341 ', along which can slide the two strands of the link. It is conceivable that, by moving this strip along these strands along the double arrow F4, the tension exerted on the link is modified. It should be noted, however, that the presence of this adjustment strip is optional.

Sur la figure 6, la sangle 30 des figures 1 à 3 est remplacée par deux autres éléments filiformes 430, dont les dimensions transversales sont analogues à celles de l'élément principal 440.On the figure 6 , the strap 30 of Figures 1 to 3 is replaced by two other filiform elements 430, whose transverse dimensions are similar to those of the main element 440.

La figure 7 illustre un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux de l'invention, dans lequel un des brins 548 du lien 540 s'étend dans l'enroulement 523 du câble d'alimentation 522. Ceci permet de maintenir ce dernier en position, de façon à éviter toute usure prématurée, ainsi que toute dégradation intempestive.The figure 7 illustrates a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, in which one of the strands 548 of the link 540 extends in the winding 523 of the supply cable 522. This keeps the latter in position, so as to avoid any premature wear, as well as any untimely degradation.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés. Ainsi on peut tout d'abord prévoir que le dispositif d'alimentation n'est pas monté sur l'organe d'appui arrière. Dans ce cas, ce dernier peut être formé par une simple plaque, sur laquelle peut être disposé un éclairage de sécurité arrière, notamment pour les cyclistes. De plus on peut prévoir de ménager, sur l'organe d'appui arrière, une poche de rangement pour la boucle de préhension et le surplus du lien.The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown. Thus one can first of all provide that the feed device is not mounted on the rear support member. In this case, the latter can be formed by a simple plate on which can be placed a rear safety light, especially for cyclists. In addition, it is possible to provide, on the rear support member, a storage pocket for the gripping loop and the surplus link.

Le dispositif d'alimentation à piles ou accumulateur peut aussi être logé dans le boîtier avant 12, ou dans un boîtier extérieur raccordable au module d'éclairage 10 par une liaison électrique.The battery or accumulator supply device may also be housed in the front housing 12, or in an external housing connectable to the lighting module 10 by an electrical connection.

Le dispositif de serrage peut aussi être équipé d'un enrouleur fixé sur l'organe d'appui arrière (26).The clamping device can also be equipped with a winder fixed on the rear support member (26).

Le dispositif de serrage peut aussi être subdivisé en deux parties élémentaires coopérant avec des bloqueurs associés.The clamping device can also be subdivided into two elementary parts cooperating with associated blockers.
