Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting device, which is particularly able to direct a light beam or cone toward an area or an object to be illuminated, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the combination of the pivotal movement of the uprights about the window and the tilting movement of the lighting unit allows the light beam to be directed over a wide conical area below the window.
  • the technical purpose of the present invention is to provide an orientable lighting device that can obviate the above mentioned prior art drawbacks.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide an orientable lighting device that can obviate the flare problem.
  • an orientable lighting device of the present invention comprises a frame that is configured to be mounted in a ceiling and/or a false ceiling and/or any type of vertical, horizontal or oblique support.
  • the frame has a window that is designed to face an area to be illuminated.
  • the device further comprises a lighting unit which is connected to the frame and can be oriented relative to the frame. This lighting unit is at least partially inserted in the window.
  • the device further comprises a cover element, lying over the window.
  • This cover element has an opening with an edge surrounding the lighting unit.
  • the edge contacts the lighting unit.
  • the opening is further movable in the window, allowing the lighting body to be oriented.
  • This device solves the technical problem, as the cover element entirely occludes the window, and has an opening whose size is selected according to the lighting unit. This will still allow orientation of the lighting body, as the opening can accommodate its movements.
  • numeral 1 designates an orientable light device of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 a space orientation of the device 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 3 , i.e. the space orientation of a device fitted in a horizontal ceiling.
  • the terms “above”, “below” and the like designate the arrangement of the various elements of Figure 1 , particularly referring to an orthogonal direction "A" which, if the device 1 is in the position of Figure 1 , is vertically oriented.
  • the device 1 is not limited to the orientation as shown in Figure 1 , as it may be also fitted in vertical and/or oblique walls and/or floors. In the latter case, the lighting device 1 will be overturned relative to the orientation of Figure 1 .
  • the device comprises a frame 2, which is configured to be mounted in a ceiling and/or a false ceiling and/or any type of vertical, horizontal or oblique support.
  • the frame 2 has a substantially rectangular plan shape and is defined by four walls 3.
  • a rim 4 is placed at the base of the walls 3, and a bottom 5 is placed at the top of the walls 4.
  • the frame 2 is designed to be fitted in a seat (not shown), in which most of it is hidden from view.
  • the walls 3 and the bottom 5 are hidden from view, and the rim 4 faces the area to be illuminated and is thus visible.
  • the frame 2 supports a lighting unit 7.
  • Such lighting unit can be oriented relative to the frame 2, i.e. a tilt angle and an azimuth angle thereof relative to the frame can be changed.
  • the lighting unit 7 has a substantially prismatic, particularly a cylindrical shape, and has first 7a and second 7b opposite ends.
  • the first end 7a is open and visible from the outside, such that a light source 8, e.g. a bulb, can project a light beam or cone outside the device 1.
  • a light source 8 e.g. a bulb
  • the second end 7b is closed by a grid 9 and, in use, is hidden from view.
  • the grid 9 allows the passage of air, to dissipate the heat generated in the lighting unit 7.
  • the frame 2 has a window 6, particularly formed at the bottom 5.
  • window 6 has a substantially circular shape, and the lighting unit 7 extends therethrough.
  • the lighting unit 7 is at least partially inserted in the window 6.
  • the device 1 also comprises a pair of uprights 10.
  • the uprights 10 are located behind the bottom 5, whereby they are hidden from view.
  • the lighting unit 7 is disposed between the uprights 10 and is connected thereto such that its tilt angle relative to the orthogonal direction "A" can be changed.
  • the uprights 10 are placed at the window 6.
  • the uprights 10 are fixed to a base 17 which is fitted in the window 6.
  • Reinforcement ribs 19 connect each upright 10 to the base 17 to increase its structural strength.
  • the base 17 can rotate about the orthogonal direction "A", to thereby change the azimuth angle of the lighting unit 7.
  • the device 1 further comprises, also referring to Figure 4 , a cover element 11, which lies over the window 6.
  • the cover element 11 is disposed between the uprights 10.
  • the cover element 11 is also within the window 6, to thereby change the position and shape of the opening 12.
  • the opening 12 may particularly accommodate the change of tilt of the lighting unit 7 relative to the orthogonal direction "A".
  • the opening 12 is disposed between the uprights 10.
  • the opening 12 further has an edge 12a.
  • the edge 12a surrounds the lighting unit 7 and preferably contacts the lighting unit 7.
  • the shape of the edge 12 can be changed to remain in contact with the lighting unit 7 with any tilt angle.
  • the cover element 11 comprises a pair of half parts 13 which are connected together and able to move away/toward each other.
  • Each half part 13 at least partially defines the aforementioned edge 12a.
  • each half part 13 has a concave semicircular profile 13a defining part of the edge 12a of the opening 12.
  • the cover element 11 comprises a pair of coplanar, juxtaposed flanges 14. Each flange 14 defines a respective half-part 13.
  • the cover element 11 comprises a pair of elastic elements 15, each defined by a respective spring and connected to both flanges 14.
  • the elastic elements 15 surround the opening 12 and hence the lighting unit 7.
  • each upright 10 has a respective guide 16.
  • the guides 16 define a plane parallel to the plane defined by the window 6.
  • the cover element 11 fits into the guides 16 of the uprights 10 to slide in the guides 16.
  • the flanges 14 are adapted to slide in the guides 16.
  • Each guide 16 is defined by a recess 18 formed in its upright 10 at the aforementioned base 17.
  • the cover element 11 allows the lighting unit 7 to entirely engage the window 6, thereby preventing the formation of a free annular area.
  • a person in the vicinity of the lighting device 1 cannot see pats of the ceiling or false ceiling, as the cover element 11, and particularly its half-parts 13 are always in contact with the lighting unit 7, at any tilt angle assumed by the lighting unit.
  • the window 6 can be always entirely covered, even when the lighting unit 6 is moved in the desired direction.
