L'invention concerne un dispositif d'éclairage de denrées exposées sur des étagères dans un meuble frigorifique, du type comprenant des éléments d'éclairage tels que des tubes montés sur les étagères au niveau de l'avant de celles-ci.The invention relates to a device for lighting foodstuffs displayed on shelves in a refrigeration unit, of the type comprising lighting elements such as tubes mounted on the shelves at the front thereof.
Des dispositifs d'éclairage de ce type sont déjà connus. La figure 1 montre un tel dispositif équipant un meuble semi- vertical. Sur cette figure, les numéros de référence 1, 2 et 3 illustrent les étagères, les denrées disposées sur celles-ci et des sources de lumière d'éclairage formées par des tubes fluorescents disposés sous les étagères. Les flèches indiquent les écoulements de l'air froid produits par l'unité de production d'air froid 4 disposée sur le fond du corps de meuble et un ventilateur 5. Ce dispositif d'éclairage connu présente les deux défauts majeurs que les tubes fluorescents 3, en raison de leur disposition en- dessous des extrémités avant des étagères provoquent un échauffement local des denrées et que l'efficacité d'éclairage du "mur de produits", c'est-à-dire la face avant des produits, est très faible et peu satisfaisante sur le plan de commercialisation.Lighting devices of this type are already known. Figure 1 shows such a device equipping a semi-vertical piece of furniture. In this figure, reference numbers 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the shelves, the foodstuffs arranged thereon and sources of lighting light formed by fluorescent tubes placed under the shelves. The arrows indicate the flows of cold air produced by the cold air production unit 4 arranged on the bottom of the cabinet and a fan 5. This known lighting device has the two major faults that fluorescent tubes 3, because of their arrangement below the front ends of the shelves cause local heating of the foodstuffs and that the lighting efficiency of the "product wall", that is to say the front face of the products, is very weak and unsatisfactory in terms of marketing.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif d'éclairage qui pallie les défauts de l'état de la technique, qui vient d'être énoncé.The present invention aims to provide a lighting device which overcomes the defects of the prior art, which has just been stated.
Pour atteindre ce but, le dispositif d'éclairage selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que les sources de lumière sont disposées à une distance prédéterminée devant l'avant des étagères auxquelles elles sont associées, à un emplacement se trouvant à l'intérieur des écoulements d'air froid constituant le rideau froid du meuble frigorifique.To achieve this object, the lighting device according to the invention is characterized in that the light sources are arranged at a predetermined distance in front of the shelves with which they are associated, at a location inside the cold air flows constituting the cold curtain of the refrigeration unit.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les tubes d'éclairage sont montés entre les extrémités de bras de support montés à leur autre extrémité sur l'avant des étagères .According to a characteristic of the invention, the lighting tubes are mounted between the ends of support arms mounted at their other end on the front of the shelves.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les bras de support d'un tube d'éclairage sont montés pivotants sur l'avant de l'étagère correspondante.According to another characteristic of the invention, the support arms of a lighting tube are pivotally mounted on the front of the corresponding shelf.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les tubes d'éclairage sont placés dans des carters profilés aerodynamiquement et les carters sont montés pivotants sur les bras de support, pour s'intégrer aerodynamiquement dans les écoulements d'air froid.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lighting tubes are placed in aerodynamically profiled casings and the casings are pivotally mounted on the support arms, to aerodynamically integrate into the cold air flows.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un seul mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly during the explanatory description which follows, made with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating a single embodiment of the invention and in which:

La figure 7 est une vue en perspective, avec arrachement, et à l'état éclaté, d'un mode de réalisation concret d'un dispositif d'éclairage selon la présente invention.Figure 7 is a perspective view, broken away, and in an exploded state, of a concrete embodiment of a lighting device according to the present invention.
La figure 8 est une vue du dispositif d'éclairage selon la figure 7, mais à l'état assemblé.Figure 8 is a view of the lighting device according to Figure 7, but in the assembled state.
Sur les figures 2 et 3 qui représentent des meubles frigorifiques équipés de dispositifs d'éclairage selon la présente invention, les numéros de référence 1, 2, 4 et 5 désignent, comme sur la figure 1, respectivement les étagères, les denrées exposées sur ceux-ci, l'unité de refroidissement et un ventilateur. Les flèches indiquent aussi, comme sur la figure 1, les écoulements d'air froid produits par l'unité 4 et le ventilateur 5. Le numéro de référence 6 désigne le rideau d'air froid.In FIGS. 2 and 3 which represent refrigerated cabinets fitted with lighting devices according to the present invention, the reference numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 designate, as in FIG. 1, the shelves, respectively, the foodstuffs displayed on those -ci, the cooling unit and a fan. The arrows also indicate, as in FIG. 1, the flows of cold air produced by the unit 4 and the fan 5. The reference number 6 designates the curtain of cold air.
Comme il ressort notamment des figures 5 et 6, le dispositif d'éclairage selon l'invention comporte, associé à chaque étagère 1, un tube fluorescent 11 disposé dans un carter 12 entre les extrémités 13 de deux bras de supportsAs is apparent in particular from FIGS. 5 and 6, the lighting device according to the invention comprises, associated with each shelf 1, a fluorescent tube 11 arranged in a casing 12 between the ends 13 of two support arms
14 fixés par leurs extrémités opposées 15 à des moyens de fixation complémentaires (non représentés) solidaires de l'étagère 1 juste en dessous de l'extrémité avant 17 de celui-ci. Les bras 14 sont montés pivotants dans un plan vertical, sur les moyens de fixation, comme l'indique la flèche FI sur la figure 5. Les carters 12 sont profilés de façon à présenter une forme aérodynamique et sont montés entre les bras de support 14 de façon à pouvoir tourner autour de leur axe longitudinal, conformément à la double flèche F2. Ainsi, les carters peuvent être placés dans des positions angulaires dans lesquelles ils s'intègrent au mieux dans les écoulements d'air du rideau d'air froid de façon à pouvoir créer un effet stabilisant bénéfique au niveau des performances du rideau d'air. La figure 4 illustre l'intégration aérodynamique d'un carter dans le rideau d'air matérialisé par des lignes d'écoulement 19. On constate encore que la face avant 20 du carter 12 peut comporter des étiquettes d'affichage 21 de prix ou de toute autre communication publicitaire.14 fixed by their opposite ends 15 to complementary fixing means (not shown) integral with the shelf 1 just below the front end 17 thereof. The arms 14 are pivotally mounted in a vertical plane, on the fixing means, as indicated by the arrow FI in FIG. 5. The casings 12 are profiled so as to have an aerodynamic shape and are mounted between the support arms 14 so as to be able to rotate around their longitudinal axis, in accordance with the double arrow F2. Thus, the casings can be placed in angular positions in which they integrate as best as possible into the air flows of the cold air curtain so as to be able to create a beneficial stabilizing effect in terms of the performance of the air curtain. FIG. 4 illustrates the aerodynamic integration of a casing into the air curtain materialized by flow lines 19. It can also be seen that the front face 20 of the casing 12 can include price or price display labels 21 any other advertising communication.
Les figures 7 et 8 illustrent un mode de réalisation concret du dispositif d'éclairage dont le principe est schématiquement illustré sur les figures 5 et 6. Les chiffres de référence sur les figures 5 et 6, d'une part, et les figures 7 et 8 d'autre part, sont les mêmes pour indiquer les pièces ou éléments identiques ou similaires.FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a concrete embodiment of the lighting device, the principle of which is schematically illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. The reference numbers in FIGS. 5 and 6, on the one hand, and FIGS. 7 and 8 on the other hand, are the same to indicate identical or similar parts or elements.
Les figures 7 et 8 illustrent notamment les moyens de montage des bras de support 14 sur les étalages 1. A cette fin, on prévoit, pour supporter une étagère 1, à chaque extrémité, une entretoise de support 23 pourvue de moyens de montage 24 sur le meuble. La partie avant 25 de l' entretoise est réalisée sous forme d'une languette sur laquelle peut être disposée une pièce intermédiaire 26 permettant la fixation sur l'étalage, d'un bras de supportFigures 7 and 8 illustrate in particular the means for mounting the support arms 14 on the displays 1. To this end, there is provided, to support a shelf 1, at each end, a support spacer 23 provided with mounting means 24 on a piece of furniture. The front part 25 of the spacer is produced in the form of a tongue on which can be arranged an intermediate piece 26 for fixing on the display, a support arm
14 du carter de tube fluorescent 12. La pièce de fixation14 of the fluorescent tube casing 12. The fixing piece
26, de forme allongée complémentaire à celle des languettes 25 comporte, sur sa face extérieure deux profilés 28 en forme d'un L. Une aile 29 s'étend perpendiculairement à la face de la pièce 26 tandis que l'autre aile portant la référence 30 est orientée vers l'autre profilé. Chaque profilé établit ainsi avec la face de la pièce 26 une rainure permettant la mise en place de la pièce 26 sur la languette 25 de l' entretoise de support 23, par simple coulissement axial, chaque bord longitudinal de la languette 25 étant reçu dans une rainure.26, of elongated shape complementary to that of the tongues 25 comprises, on its outer face two profiles 28 in the shape of an L. A wing 29 extends perpendicularly to the face of the part 26 while the other wing bearing the reference 30 is oriented towards the other profile. Each profile thus establishes with the face of the part 26 a groove allowing the positioning of the part 26 on the tongue 25 of the support spacer 23, by simple axial sliding, each longitudinal edge of the tongue 25 being received in a groove.
L'extrémité avant de la pièce de fixation 26 porte, sur sa face extérieure un ergot cylindrique 32 qui fait saillie perpendiculairement de la face et porte à son pourtour une denture 33. Cette dernière est complémentaire à la denture 34 de l'evidement circulaire 35 pratiqué dans l'extrémité 15 des bras de support 14, sur les figures 5 et 6. Ainsi, chaque bras de support 14 peut être monté sur une pièce de fixation 26, dans la position angulaire souhaitée par engagement de l'ergot 32 dans l'evidement 35, les dentures 33 et 34 étant donc un engrènement mutuel. Dans le mode de réalisation concret selon les figures 7 et 8, l'evidement à denture 35 est fermé sur la face extérieur du bras et n'est donc pas visible. Le montage de l'ensemble formé par les deux bras 14 et le carter 12 sur les ergots 32 à chaque extrémité de l'étagère 1 est possible dans la mesure où le carter 12, grâce à une flexibilité appropriée, permet un écartement suffisant des extrémités des deux bras 14 pour permettre leur emmanchement sur les ergots. La figure 7 illustre qu'il suffit, après avoir engagé les bras 14 sur les ergots 32 de pièces de fixation, de placer celles-ci, par coulissement, sur les languettes avant 25 des entretoises de supports 23 de l'étagère 1 correspondante. Celle-ci comporte à chaque extrémité un rebord vertical 37 et les deux rebords assurent l'immobilisation de l'étagère sur les entretoises 23, comme le montre la figure 8.The front end of the fixing piece 26 carries, on its outer face, a cylindrical lug 32 which projects perpendicularly from the face and has a toothing 33 at its periphery. The latter is complementary to the toothing 34 of the circular recess 35 formed in the end 15 of the support arms 14, in FIGS. 5 and 6. Thus, each support arm 14 can be mounted on a fixing piece 26, in the desired angular position by engagement of the lug 32 in the 'recess 35, the teeth 33 and 34 therefore being a mutual meshing. In the concrete embodiment according to FIGS. 7 and 8, the toothed recess 35 is closed on the outside face of the arm and is therefore not visible. The assembly of the assembly formed by the two arms 14 and the casing 12 on the pins 32 at each end of the shelf 1 is possible insofar as the casing 12, thanks to an appropriate flexibility, allows sufficient spacing of the ends two arms 14 to allow their fitting on the pins. FIG. 7 illustrates that it is sufficient, after having engaged the arms 14 on the lugs 32 of fixing parts, to place these, by sliding, on the front tongues 25 of the support spacers 23 of the corresponding shelf 1. This comprises at each end a vertical rim 37 and the two rims immobilize the shelf on the spacers 23, as shown in FIG. 8.
II est à souligner que le montage par coulissement des pièces 26 sur les entretoises 23 peut être exploité pour faire varier la distance des tubes 11 de l'avant 17 des étagères .It should be emphasized that the mounting by sliding of the parts 26 on the spacers 23 can be used to vary the distance of the tubes 11 from the front 17 of the shelves.
II ressort des figures que le dispositif d'éclairage selon l'invention permet d'éclairer toute la face avant du meuble et d'avoir un éclairage de la même intensité sur toute cette face. Grâce au bras de support pivotant des tubes fluorescents, l'invention rend possible une optimisation de la répartition de 1 ' éclairement . Ainsi, l'invention permet d'éviter tout éblouissement pour les consommateurs, assure l'isolation thermique des denrées du tube fluorescent et assure une résistance à tout sollicitation mécanique inhérente aux conditions d'exploitation en magasin. D'autre part, des tubes florescents peuvent être positionnés de façon optimale dans le rideau d'air froid 6 ou même en avant de celui-ci, grâce au pivotement des carters et des bras de support et grâce aussi au montage par coulissement des pièces de support sur les entretoises et pour préserver dans toutes les positions une vision maximale des produits. Pour assurer un éclairement optimal, on adapte aussi en conséquence la forme des étagères comme on le voit sur la figure 5, la partie inclinée inférieure indiquée en 38 permettant de minimiser les zones d'ombre en arrière. It appears from the figures that the lighting device according to the invention makes it possible to illuminate the entire front face of the cabinet and to have lighting of the same intensity on all of this face. Thanks to the pivoting support arm of the fluorescent tubes, the invention makes it possible to optimize the distribution of the lighting. Thus, the invention makes it possible to avoid any glare for consumers, ensures the thermal insulation of the products of the fluorescent tube and ensures resistance to any mechanical stress inherent in the conditions of operation in store. On the other hand, fluorescent tubes can be optimally positioned in the cold air curtain 6 or even in front of it, thanks to the pivoting of the housings and the support arms and also thanks to the sliding mounting of the parts. support on the spacers and to preserve in all positions a maximum vision of the products. To ensure optimum lighting, the shape of the shelves is also adapted accordingly as seen in FIG. 5, the lower inclined part indicated at 38 making it possible to minimize the shaded areas behind.
