Description

LIGHTING WREATH AND MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention corresponds to the state of the technique of temporary lighting garlands or work.

Garland and manufacturing process objects of The present invention allows the use of a garland in environments with IP67 and its realization in multiple configurations according to user needs.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Numerous types are known in the state of the art of work or provisional garlands. In particular, garland systems with technology are known LED and also of insulated luminaires for use in IP67 environments that have a distance limitation to the power supply, since, it is necessary calculate the driver section based on the distance to the power supply for correct functioning. Therefore, it would be especially advantageous a garland that can be made for a distance previously considered or designed.

However, the applicant of the present invention does not has knowledge of the existence of garlands for E27 lampholders suitable for use in environments with IP67

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The lighting garland object of the present invention is configured as an alternative to existing garlands in the state of the art, and overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages, Offering great possibilities.

The lighting garland, high strength, provisional or work, object of the present invention It is configured as a garland that presents a succession of light points, without distance restriction between these points of light. These points of light are fixed to a sustaining cable that also acts as electric conductor

Each point of light has a vulcanized assembly formed by an external lampholder and its connection to the cable sustainer This vulcanized set houses in its interior an interior lampholder that presents typically a thread, or other connecting element, to that a light source be lodged in said thread.

It is also housed inside the vulcanized assembly an internal connection that electrically connects said interior lampholder and part of the electric conductor, which in turn is housed in said sustaining cable.

The external lampholder typically incorporates, in addition, a grounding ring, a wrapping glass tulip

of said light source, and a mechanical protection outer envelope of said glass tulip.

Thus, the integration of the electric conductor / cable sustainer in the vulcanization process of the garland, allows to configure and adapt the length between points of light of the garlands; as well as the adequate distance to the power supply of the garland, and therefore, properly define the section of the electric conductor.

In addition, the use of a ceramic lampholder embedded in The garland allows you to choose different light sources, As per incandescence, halogen PAR, fluorescence Integrated compact or LED.

The garland thus obtained, has some characteristics which allow its use in environments with IP67 and can adopt multiple configurations as needed of the user and, therefore, overcoming the limitations described above of the existing garlands in the Current state of the art.

The applicant for this patent has made functional tests with 230 operating voltage volts in alternating current, with maximum power per point of light of the garland of 100 W. results obtained recommend maximum power recommended from 3,500 W at 230 volts of current alternate

In addition, its temporary immersion has been verified up to depth meter

An object of the present invention is also a manufacturing process of the garland object of the present invention, comprising the following stages:

-

make a preliminary assembly of an external lampholder housing inside an internal lampholder with a connection, through an internal connection, to a point of the electric conductor of the sustaining cable, and

-

vulcanize the previous preliminary assembly together with a part of the sustaining cable.

Thus, the integration of the electrical conductor in the vulcanization process of the luminaire, allows advantageously design and adapt the length between garland light points, and the distance to the power supply and optimal section of conductor cable operation.

2. Statement motivated according to articles 29.6 and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/1986, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement The documents cited only show the general state of the art, and are not considered of particular relevance. Thus, the claimed invention is considered to meet the requirements of novelty, inventive activity and industrial application. 1.-The object of the present patent application consists of a lighting garland and its manufacturing procedure, resulting in a heavy-duty, provisional or work garland, which presents a succession of light points, without restriction of distance between These points of light. Each point of light has a vulcanized assembly formed by an external lampholder and its connection to the sustaining cable. This vulcanized assembly houses inside an internal lampholder that has a thread so that a light source is housed. An internal connection is also housed inside the vulcanized assembly that electrically connects said inner lampholder and part of the electrical conductor of said sustaining cable. 2.-The problem posed by the applicant is a garland that presents a succession of points of light, without restriction of distance between these points of light. These points of light are fixed to a sustaining cable that also acts as an electrical conductor. Each point of light has a vulcanized assembly formed by an external lampholder and its connection to the sustaining cable. This vulcanized assembly houses inside an internal lampholder that typically has a thread, or other connecting element, so that a light source is housed in said thread. An internal connection is also housed inside the vulcanized assembly that electrically connects said inner lampholder and part of the electrical conductor, which in turn is housed in said support cable. The external lampholder typically incorporates, in addition, a grounding ring, a wrap-around glass lampshade of said light source, and an outer wrap-around mechanical protection of said glass lampshade. Thus, the integration of the electric conductor / sustaining cable in the process of vulcanization of the garland, allows to configure and adapt the length between points of light of the garlands; as well as the appropriate distance to the garland power supply, and therefore, properly define the section of the electrical conductor. Document D1 can be considered as the representative of the closest state of the art since most of the claimed technical characteristics converge in this document.  Analysis of the independent claims The state of the art closest to the object of the invention is represented by document D01, which discloses: Lighting garland of the type comprising at least one point of light fixed to a supporting cable. It does not disclose and differs in that: It does not comprise a vulcanized assembly, wherein said vulcanized assembly contains an external lampholder and part of said support cable, said external lampholder supported and connected without continuity solution to said vulcanized part of the support cable; said vulcanized assembly housing inside an internal lampholder, an internal connection and part of the electrical conductor of said support cable, said internal connection connecting said internal lampholder and said electrical conductor. Claim 1 is new (Art. 6.1 LP 11/1986) and has inventive activity (Art. 8.1 LP11 / 1986).  Analysis of the rest of the documents Thus, neither document D1, nor any of the rest of the documents cited in the State of the Art Report, taken alone or in combination, reveal the invention under study as defined in the independent claims, so that The documents cited only show the general state of the art, and are not considered of particular relevance. In addition, there are no suggestions in the cited documents that direct the person skilled in the art to a combination that could make the invention defined by these claims evident and it is not obvious for a person skilled in the art to apply the features included in the cited documents and reach the invention as revealed therein.
