Abstract
Description
a présente invention concerne un tuteur lumineux. adapté pour soutenir notamment une plante d'ornement ou similaire dans un appartement, ce tuteur étant conçu pour assurer, outre sa fonction de soutien ou de support de la tige maitresse de la plante, une certaine clarté nécessaire a la vie et au développement de celle-ci, par exemple. The present invention relates to a light tutor. suitable for supporting in particular an ornamental plant or the like in an apartment, this tutor being designed to ensure, in addition to its function of supporting or supporting the main stem of the plant, a certain clarity necessary for the life and development of that -this, for example.
lorsque son lieu d'exposition est dans un emplacement sombre ou sans clarté.when his place of exhibition is in a dark or unclear place.
On connait actuellement de nombreux types de tuteurs pour plantes d--ornement en appartement, ces tuteurs étant en verre ou en fibres de verre coloré, ou encore en matiére plastique translucide, ou tout simplement en roseau ou en bambou. mais conçus seulement pour assurer leur fonction de soutien de la tige de la plante a laquelle chacun deux est jumelé. We currently know many types of stakes for ornamental plants in apartments, these stakes being made of glass or colored glass fibers, or even translucent plastic, or simply reed or bamboo. but designed only to perform their function of supporting the stem of the plant to which each of them is paired.
Par ailleurs, on sait que pour qu'une plante se développe normalement, une certaine clarté, solaire ou autre, lui est nécessaire, et de ce fait, son emplacement d'exposition doit etre choisi en conséquence. Cette contrainte d'exposition dans un emplacement déterminé géne bien souvent le possesseur de la plante â cause de la disposition de son appartement ou les emplacements ensoleillés naturellement et recevant une clarté suffisante ne sont pas nombreux, voir inexistants. Furthermore, it is known that for a plant to develop normally, a certain clarity, solar or other, is necessary for it, and therefore its location for exposure must be chosen accordingly. This constraint of exposure in a given location often annoys the owner of the plant because of the layout of his apartment where the naturally sunny locations and receiving sufficient clarity are not numerous, even nonexistent.
C'est pour éviter cet inconvénient majeur au développement naturel d'une plante que la présente invention. sous forme d'un tuteur lumineux. a été conçue. It is to avoid this major drawback to the natural development of a plant that the present invention. in the form of a light tutor. was conceived.
Selon l invention, ce tuteur lumineux est constitué, de maniére connue, par un tube translucide en matiére plastique ou similaire prévu pour avoir une rigidité suffisante sous le poids et la flexibilité de la tige de la plante å soutenir, mais est caractérisé par le fait qu'il est pourvu intérieurement ampoules électriques allongées, montées en serie et alimentées par un fil électrique å deux conducteurs branché sur une prise de courant, et qu'il supporte exterieurement-une gaine tubulaire translucide, cette gaine ménageant entre elle et I'extérieur du tube plusieurs passages ou canaux adaptés pour constituer une circulation d'air empéchant. dans une certaine mesure, son échauffement sous l'influence de l'echauffement propre du tube translucide ou tube central par suite de la chaleur dégagée par les ampoules lorsqu'elles sont allumées. According to the invention, this light stake consists, in a known manner, of a translucent plastic or similar tube intended to have sufficient rigidity under the weight and flexibility of the stem of the plant to be supported, but is characterized by the fact that it is provided internally with elongated electric bulbs, mounted in series and supplied by an electric wire with two conductors plugged into an electrical outlet, and that it supports externally-a translucent tubular sheath, this sheath sparing between it and the outside of the tube several passages or channels adapted to constitute a blocking air circulation. to a certain extent, its heating under the influence of the proper heating of the translucent tube or central tube as a result of the heat given off by the bulbs when they are switched on.
Par ailleurs, on doit noter que le tube translucide ou central est constitué de maniére étanche, c'est-9-dire qu'il est fermé hermétiquement a son extrémité supérieure et a son extrémité inférieure, de forme pointue, destinée a étre enfoncée dans la terre, l'orifice de penetration du fil electrique d'alimentation des ampoules étant lui-méme pourvu d'une garniture d'étanchéité ceinturant ce fil. Furthermore, it should be noted that the translucent or central tube is constituted in a sealed manner, that is to say that it is hermetically closed at its upper end and at its lower end, of pointed shape, intended to be pressed into the earth, the orifice for penetration of the electric wire supplying the bulbs itself being provided with a gasket surrounding this wire.
D'autre part, selon l'invention, l'orifice de pénétration du fil électrique est situé de manière å se trouver au dessus du niveau de la terre lorsque le tube central est en position enfoncée dans celle-ci. On the other hand, according to the invention, the opening for penetration of the electric wire is located so as to be above the level of the earth when the central tube is in the position pressed therein.
En outre, la gaine tubulaire est prévue dégagée å ses deux extrémités et recouvre extérieurement le tube central entre son extrémité supérieure et l'orifice de pénetration du fil électrique.In addition, the tubular sheath is provided unobstructed at its two ends and externally covers the central tube between its upper end and the penetration hole of the electric wire.
A noter que pour faciliter le montage de la gaine tubulaire sur le tube central et pour réserver des passages de circulation d'air suffisants entre les deux, le tube central peut être prévu de section carrée, la gaine étant prévue de section ronde et fixée par des points de collage aux quatre coins du tube central, ou encore, le tube central est prévu de section ronde et la gaine est prévue de section carrée et fixée par des points de collage situés a l'intérieur au milieu de ses cotés et tangentiellement a l'extérieur du tube central. Note that to facilitate the mounting of the tubular sheath on the central tube and to reserve sufficient air circulation passages between the two, the central tube can be provided with a square section, the sheath being provided with a round section and fixed by bonding points at the four corners of the central tube, or else, the central tube is provided with a round section and the sheath is provided with a square section and fixed by bonding points located inside in the middle of its sides and tangentially to the outside of the central tube.
Evidemment, il est également possible de prévoir le tube central de section ronde et la gaine tubulaire de section hexagonale ou, inversement, cette derniére de section ronde et le tube central de section hexagonale. Obviously, it is also possible to provide the central tube of round section and the tubular sheath of hexagonal section or, conversely, the latter of round section and the central tube of hexagonal section.
En définitive, conformément å l'invention, on peut choisir toutes formes de sections tubulaires pour le tube central et la gaine. du moment que l'on prévoit des passages de circulation d'air entre eux. Ultimately, in accordance with the invention, one can choose all forms of tubular sections for the central tube and the sheath. as long as air circulation passages are provided between them.
D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention apparaitront de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation de tuteur lumineux, donné a titre d'exemple non limitatif, et représenté dans le dessin ci-joint, dans lequel: - La figure 1 est une vue en élévation montrant l'ensemble du tuteur lumineux avec des parties découpées longitudinalement pour indiquer sa constitution intérieure; - la figure 2 est une vue en coupe montrant la disposition des tubes constituant le tuteur de la figure 1. Other characteristics of the invention will appear from the following description of an embodiment of a light tutor, given by way of nonlimiting example, and represented in the attached drawing, in which: - Figure 1 is a elevation view showing the whole of the light stake with parts cut longitudinally to indicate its internal constitution; - Figure 2 is a sectional view showing the arrangement of the tubes constituting the support of Figure 1.
Comme on le remarque de ces figures. le tuteur lumineux conforme å l'invention, est constitué, dans le mode de réalisation représenté å titre d'exemple, d'un tube central 1 en matière plastique translucide colorée ou non, de section carrée, et d'une gaine tubulaire 2. As can be seen from these figures. the light stake according to the invention, consists, in the embodiment shown by way of example, of a central tube 1 of translucent plastic material, colored or not, of square section, and of a tubular sheath 2.
également en matière plastique translucide colorée ou non, de section ronde, Le tube central 1, constituant le tuteur proprement dit est fermé de manière étanche à son extrémité supérieure 3 ainsi qu'a son extrémité inférieure 4, de forme pointue, destinée a être enfoncée dans la terre. also in translucent plastic material, colored or not, of round section, the central tube 1, constituting the stake proper is closed in a sealed manner at its upper end 3 as well as at its lower end 4, of pointed shape, intended to be inserted In the ground.
Ce tube central 1 est pourvu intérieurement de plusieurs lampes électriques 5. de forme allongée, montées en série et alimentées par un fil électrique 6 a deux conducteurs branché sur une prise de courant non représentée. Ce fil électrique 6 pénètre dans le tube central 1 par un orifice 7 pourvu d'une garniture d'étanchéité 8 adaptée pour empêcher toute pénétration d'humidité dans ce tube, l'orifice étant situé dans la partie basse de ce dernier a une distance déterminée de sa pointe de manière a se trouver au dessus du niveau de la terre lorsque le tuteur est enfoncé dans celle-ci. La gaine tubulaire 2 a ses extrémités dégagées pour fournir une circulation d'air entre elle et l'extérieur du tube central 1, et est disposée de manière a entourer ce dernier de son extrémité supérieure 3 jusqu'au niveau de l'orifice 7 de pénétration du fil électrique 6. Comme on le voit au mieux dans la figure 2, la gaine tubulaire 2, de section ronde, est fixée sur le tube central 1, de section carree, par des points de collage 9 situés aux quatre coins de ce dernier.This central tube 1 is provided internally with several electric lamps 5. of elongated shape, mounted in series and supplied by an electric wire 6 with two conductors connected to a socket not shown. This electric wire 6 enters the central tube 1 through an orifice 7 provided with a seal 8 adapted to prevent any penetration of moisture into this tube, the orifice being located in the lower part of the latter at a distance determined from its point so as to be above the level of the earth when the tutor is pressed into it. The tubular sheath 2 has its ends exposed to provide air circulation between it and the outside of the central tube 1, and is arranged so as to surround the latter from its upper end 3 to the level of the orifice 7 of penetration of the electric wire 6. As best seen in FIG. 2, the tubular sheath 2, of round section, is fixed to the central tube 1, of square section, by bonding points 9 located at the four corners of this latest.
Dans la cas présent. la circulation d'air est assurée par les quatre passages ou canaux 10, formés chacun entre un coté extérieur du tube central et le segment circulaire intérieur correspondant de la gaine 2 si bien que celle-ci, n'ayant que quatre points de contact avec le tube central 1, ne peut pas ètre échauffée suite a l'échauffement de ce dernier provoqué par la chaleur dégagée par les lampes, la circulation d'air fournissant, au contraire, un certain refroidissement de ce tube central 1. In this case. the air circulation is ensured by the four passages or channels 10, each formed between an outer side of the central tube and the corresponding inner circular segment of the sheath 2 so that the latter, having only four points of contact with the central tube 1 cannot be heated following the heating of the latter caused by the heat given off by the lamps, the circulation of air providing, on the contrary, a certain cooling of this central tube 1.
