Description

A COUPLING MEMBER FOR COUPLING TWO COMPONENTS TOGETHER
The present invention relates to a coupling member for coupling two components together and in particular to a coupling member for mounting a diffuser member to a lampshade.
Lampshades come in a large variety of types and generally have an ornamental three dimensional lampshade enclosing a light bulb where the shades consist of common geometrical shapes such as spheres, ovals, cones, truncated cones and variations of these.
There are generally two mutually opposing apertures on the lampshade one of which receives the light bulb and light bulb holder and the other aperture allows light to pass through unimpeded. The down side of one of the apertures of the Iampshade is that the light bulb is visible through this aperture which is often considered unsightly and undesirable.
Furthermore, in view of recent concerns over energy saving light bulbs, there is an alleged risk of exacerbating certain skin conditions with direct exposure to these type of light sources over continuous periods. There are also concerns that the energy saving light bulbs can cause migraines. Light diffusers have been designed to prevent the unsightly nature of visible light bulbs and could potentially significantly reduce these alleged health risks by placing a physical barrier between the light bulb and people in the vicinity of the light source.
However, in view of the intrinsic aesthetic nature of the design of lampshades in general, the requirement to avoid effecting the aesthetic appeal of the Iampshades to the end users is especially important. Therefore, the problem of visibility of cumbersome fixing members required to fix the diffuser plates to the lampshades must be addressed by light fitting designers. Furthermore, in view of the fact that diffusers are often retrofitted to existing lampshades the design must be adaptable to allow retrofitting to a range of lampshades.
It is an object of the present invention to obviate or mitigate the problem of unsightly fixing members attaching light diffusers to Iampshade rims. Although the present invention is described with reference to Iampshades and diffuser plates it will of course be understood that the invention is in no way limited to the field of lampshades and can be utilized in relation ) to any two objects to be securely held together using coupling means which are designed to be substantially out of site in use.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a coupling member for releasably coupling two components together comprising a first engaging means for engaging a first component and a second engaging means for engaging a second component and biasing means operable between the first engaging means and the second engaging means for urging the first and second engaging means apart as they are compressed together for coupling the two components together wherein all or a substantial part of the coupling means is hidden from view in use.
Preferably, the biasing means comprises a pair of flexible leg members connected by a bend member at one end and spaced apart at the other end. Advantageously, the leg members are compressible together so as to fit into spaces narrower than the width of the widest part of the coupling member in a natural condition. Advantageously, the inverted v-shaped tapering configuration of the biasing means of the coupling member facilitates smooth insertion of the coupling member into rimmed apertures of devices like lam pshades.
When so compressed, the leg members are naturally urged away from one another at their free ends causing a force to be exerted on any two components/objects which are exerting a compressive force on the flexible leg members. Provided the distance between the components is less than the distance between the ends of the flexible leg members in their natural resting position, the biasing means will exert a force on the two components.
Advantageously, the strength of the biasing force of the coupling member is predetermined based on the gravitational force or other force to be overcome to couple the two objects together. In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the biasing force must be greater than the gravitational force acting on the diffuser plate.
Ideally, the two flexible leg members taper towards the bend member.
Preferably, the flexible leg members comprise plate elements. Advantageously, the plate elements provide the biasing means with stability and strength.
Ideally, the bend member extends from mutually opposing edges of the plate members.
Preferably, the included angle between the flexible leg members is acute.
Ideally, the first engaging means is provided by a first engagement member protruding from the end of one flexible leg member distal to the bend member.
Preferably, the first engagement member comprises a first hook for receiving a portion of one of the two components to be coupled together.
Preferably, the two components are a Iampshade and a diffuser member.
Advantageously, the coupling member for securing a diffuser member onto a lampshade is substantially hidden from view so as to avoid detracting from the visual appeal of the lam pshade.
Ideally, the first hook has an elongate recess for receiving a portion of the rim of the Iampshade.
Ideally, the longitudinal axis of the elongate recess is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bend member.
Preferably, the elongate recess of the first hook member opens away from the other leg.
Preferably, the second engagement member comprises a second hook member for engaging a portion of the diffuser member.
Ideally, the second hook member has a foot member extending laterally from the end of the flexible leg and tapering to a point.
Preferably, the foot member protrudes forward from the leg member towards the first hook member.
Preferably, the tapered foot member is formed for sliding under a rim of the diffuser member.
Ideally, the second hook member of the coupling member is glued to the diffuser member.
Ideally, the tapered foot member has a flat surface for receiving glue.
Ideally, the coupling member is a unitary component.
Preferably, the coupling member is manufactured from a rigid, flexible material.
Ideally, the coupling member is manufactured from plastic, rubber or thin gauge metal.
Preferably, the coupling member is attachable to the components using rivets.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a light fitting comprising a Iampshade, a diffuser member and at least one coupling member for releasably coupling the lamp shade and the diffuser member together, the coupling member comprising a first engaging means for engaging a portion of the lampshade and a second engaging means for engaging a portion of the diffuser member and biasing means operable between the first engaging means and the second engaging means for urging the first and second engaging means apart as they are compressed together whereby the lamp shade and the diffuser member are coupled together so that all or a substantial part of the coupling member is hidden from view.
Ideally, a plurality of coupling members are provided between the Iampshade and the diffuser member.
Preferably, three coupling members are equally spaced circumferentially around a circular diffuser plate mounted in a Iampshade with a circular aperture.
Ideally, a light fitting comprising a diffuser member and at least one coupling member for releasably coupling the diffuser member to a Iampshade, the coupling member comprising a first engaging means for engaging a portion of the Iampshade and a second engaging means for engaging a portion of the diffuser member and biasing means operable between the first engaging means and the second engaging means for urging the first and second engaging means apart as they are compressed together whereby the lamp shade and the diffuser member are coupled together so that all or a substantial part of the coupling member is hidden from view in use.
Preferably, a plurality of coupling members are provided with the diffuser member.
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings which shows by way of example only one embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the invention. In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a coupling member in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is a side view of the coupling member of Figure 1; Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of a cylindrical light fitting in accordance with the invention; Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of a conical light fitting in accordance with the invention; Figure 5 is a detail view of the light fitting of Figure 3 with a diffuser plate about to be inserted into a lampshade; Figure 6 is a detail view of the light fitting of Figure 3 with a diffuser plate inserted into the lampshade; Figure 7 is a full perspective view of a the light fitting of Figure 6; and Figure 8 is a perspective view of the conical light fitting of Figure 4 in an assembled condition.
Referring to the drawings and initially to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a coupling member indicated generally by the reference numeral 1 for releasably coupling two components (see Figures 3 to 8) together. The coupling member 1 has a first engaging member 2 for engaging a first component and a second engaging member 3 for engaging a second component. A biasing member 4 operates between the first engaging member 2 and the second engaging member 3 for urging the first and second engaging members 2, 3 apart as they are compressed together by insertion of the diffuser plate 22 into the lampshade 21 for coupling the two components together so that all or a substantial part of the coupling member 1 is hidden from view in use.
The biasing member 4 comprises a pair of flexible leg members 5, 6 connected by a bend member 7 at one end and spaced apart at the other end. Advantageously, the leg members 5, 6 are compressible together so as to fit into spaces narrower than the width of the widest part of the coupling member 1 in a natural unstressed condition. Advantageously, the inverted v-shaped tapering configuration of the biasing member 4 of the coupling member 1 facilitates smooth insertion of the coupling member 1 into rimmed apertures of devices like lam pshades, see Figures 3 to 8.
When so compressed, the leg members 5, 6 are naturally urged away from one another at their free ends causing a separating force to be exerted on any two components/objects which are exerting a compressive force on the flexible leg members 5, 6. Provided the distance between the components is less than the distance between the ends of the flexible leg members 5, 6 in their natural unstressed position, the biasing member 4 will exert a force on the two components. Advantageously, the strength of the biasing force of the coupling member 1 is predetermined based on the specific circumstances such as a gravitational force or other force to be overcome to couple the two objects together. In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the biasing force must be greater than the gravitational force acting on the diffuser plate.
The two flexible leg members 5, 6 taper towards the bend member 7 and the flexible leg members 5, 6 comprise plate elements 14, 15. Advantageously, the plate elements 14, provide the biasing member 4 with stability and strength. The bend member 7 extends from mutually opposing edges 16, 17 of the plate members 14, 15.
The included angle u between the flexible leg members 5, 6 is acute.
The first engaging member 2 protrudes from the end of one flexible leg member 5 distal to the bend member 7 and has a first hook 18 for receiving a portion of one of the two components to be coupled together.
Referring to the drawings and more specifically to Figures 3 to 8, there is shown a light fitting indicated generally by reference numeral 20 comprising a lampshade 21, a diffuser member 22 and three coupling members 1 for releasably coupling the lamp shade 21 and the diffuser member 22 together. The coupling members 1 are identical to the coupling members of Figures 1 and 2 described above for coupling the lamp shade 21 and the diffuser member 22 together in an assembled configuration so that all or a substantial part of the coupling members 1 are hidden from view in use see Figurers 7 and 8. The three coupling members 1 are equally spaced circumferentially around the circular diffuser plate 22 mounted in a lampshade 21 with a circular aperture 35.
Advantageously, the coupling member 1 for securing the diffuser member 22 onto a lampshade 21 is substantially hidden from view so as to avoid detracting from the visual appeal of the lampshade 21 and obviating any negative health impacts of exposure to energy efficient light bulbs. Referring to Figures ito 8, the first hook 18 has an elongate recess 19 for receiving a portion of the rim 24 of the lampshade 21. The longitudinal axis of the elongate recess 19 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bend member 7.
The elongate recess 19 of the first hook 18 opens away from the other leg 6.
A second engagement member 26 comprises a second hook 27 for engaging a portion of the diffuser member 22. The second hook 27 has a foot member 28 extending laterally from the end of the flexible leg 6 and tapering to an edge 29. The foot member 28 protrudes forward from the leg member 6 towards the first hook 18. The tapered foot member 28 is formed for sliding under a rim 31 of the diffuser member 22. The second hook 27 of the coupling member 1 is glued to the diffuser member 22. The tapered foot member 28 has a flat surface 33 for receiving glue and engaging with a flat surface of the diffuser member 22. Alternatively, the coupling member 1 is attached to the components using rivets.
The coupling member 1 is a unitary component and is manufactured from a rigid, flexible material such as plastic, rubber or thin gauge metal.
In one mode of operation, the coupling members 1 are glued to the diffuser plate 22 during assembly of the diffuser member 22. In an alternative mode of operation the coupling members 1 are provided separately with the diffuser plate 22 to be assembled on site by an end user. In use, an operator mounts the lampshade 21 on the light bulb holder (not shown).
The operator then fixes the coupling members 1 by engaging the tapered foot member 28 under the rim 31 of the diffuser plate 22. The coupling members 1 are equally spaced around the circumference of the diffuser member 22 if they are not already glued in place. The diffuser member 22 is offered up to the aperture 35 of the lampshade 21 and the flexible leg of the biasing member 4 engages the rim 24 of the lampshade 21. As the diffuser member 22 is forced up into the lampshade 21 the leg members 5, 6 are compressed together so as to fit into the space between the rim 24 of the lampshade 21 and the rim 31 of the diffuser plate 22 which is narrower than the width of the widest part of the coupling member 1 in a natural unstressed condition, see Figure 1 and 2. Advantageously, the inverted v-shaped tapering configuration of the biasing member 4 of the coupling member 1 facilitates smooth insertion of the coupling member 1 into the rimmed apertures 35 of lampshades 21. As the elongate recess 19 of the leg 5 of the basing member 7 moves up into alignment with the rim 24 the force acting on the legs 5 of the coupling members I cause elongate recess 19 to catch on the rim 24 locking the coupling members 1 and the diffuser member 22 in position on the rim of the lampshade 21 and securely holding the diffuser member 22 in place.
The features disclosed in the foregoing description or the following drawings, expressed in their specific forms or in terms of a means for performing a disclosed function, or a method or a process of attaining the disclosed result, as appropriate, may separately, or in any combination of such features be utilised for realising the invention in diverse forms thereof as defined in the appended claims.
