Description

Luminous beacon

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The present invention relates to a light beacon attachable to bars or profiles of any type of structure, vertical or horizontal. It is especially applicable to signaling works (scaffolding, fences ...) for its technical advantages.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

Civil works are works that are carried out on public roads, channeling services, whether electrical, telephone, hydraulic, or improvement, such as new developments, sidewalks, roads or simply improvements.

The regulations require that many safety measures be applied, since they are often carried out in areas where there is a lot of traffic, so it is necessary to ensure that the danger conditions are perfectly appreciated. Thus, it requires to include several types of signals any element that is placed on public roads, either on the road or on the sidewalk. During the day visibility is easy to achieve, with visible colors such as yellow or red. For the night or the twilight it is necessary to have reflective panels or luminous beacons, especially if the work does not have 24h shifts, which facilitate visibility since the operators work with their own lights and can be attentive to pedestrians.

The beacon lights have been without significant improvements for a long time, the latter being the incorporation of solar panels, which prevent failure due to lack of battery.

There are several models of luminous beacons. First, there are those formed by a prismatic base with a superior circular light source. From the base, two rods are finished off on a fixing crossbar. The The user is to breed a root and still love, to go to or with the stems and secure it by tightening the crossbar. This operation is long and the stems make storage difficult. It can be ignored by holding the beacon through flanges, which are quick to install, but generate waste and its useful life is limited. In general, light fixtures are bulky and not well designed. It is necessary to make the anchor a plastic key that performs the function of tightening, most of the time the operators do not have them, (they forget, they are lost, they break), the bolts of the anchors are long, making it difficult to lighting storage, etc.

Theft is very common, either by professionals for resale in the black market or by incivism to use them for decoration or pure vandalism. Breaking is also common, due to blows or falls due to bad grip.

Finally, the two-part configuration makes it very bulky.

A second model is formed by a garland of lights connected to a common battery or power supply by a carrier cable. This system is very bulky and out of use requires a large storage space.

The experience of the inventor of this beacon is that there are still major deficiencies in the fence or scaffold / light assembly that this invention resolves.

The applicant knows no solution to these problems similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a light beacon. Its different variants solve the problems indicated.

The light beacon comprises a light source and an electronics holder (batteries, converters, mains sockets and others Equipments will be necessary according to the umine and its decrease, where the support is a perimeter frame, comprising at least one folding leg with a clamp configured to hold the beacon to a bar of a structure. Preferably it comprises two legs, each with part of the clamp (for example two equal parts that are fixed together).

The framework offers several advantages:

- Increases the protection of the light source.

- Allows stacking several beacons easily.

- It facilitates the grip by the installer.

- It allows to house the electronics, the legs,., In a safe and protected way of the elements.

- It can be covered with reflective paint, alert messages, or support photovoltaic panels.

Preferably, it has a power supply formed by a rechargeable battery by means of a recharge socket that can be induction.

In a preferred embodiment, the light source can rotate, preferably 360 °, so that it can be oriented in the direction of greatest interest.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the memory.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

Figure 1: Perspective view of an example of the invention.

Figure 2: Front view of a second embodiment.

Figure 3: Longitudinal section of a third embodiment.

Next, an embodiment of the invention will be described briefly as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

The beacon shown in the figures starts from a light source (1), which is usually lenticular and orange in color, and a protective frame (2) of its perimeter. This frame (2) has been represented completely (360 °) but may have some opening if the resistance is maintained by other means.

The interior of the light source (1) will generally be one or more LEDs, as the most efficient solution. However, other options are possible.

The frame (2) of Figure 1 comprises two folding legs (3) topped in a clamp (4). The clamp (4) can be on one or the other leg (3) or, as shown, be arranged in two halves, one on each leg (3). The legs (3) can be threaded to allow the clamp (4) to move on them and thus adjust the dimensions.

The clamp (4) can press the bar of the supporting structure against the frame (2), for which it can have a centering groove (21).

The interior of the frame (2) comprises the power supply (5), formed by a rechargeable battery that has its recharge socket (6), which can be by induction to simplify the frame (2) and facilitate the tightness necessary to work in the open. Being a perimeter frame (2), the different electronic components can be distributed throughout the perimeter of the light source (1), offering added protection advantage (figure 2). The frame (2) may have photovoltaic panels (not shown) to assist in the recharging.

The union of the frame (2) with the light source (1) can be by an axis of rotation, so that it is possible to reorient it.

maera e e eren is eemenos to be a quaque that is weatherproof with the appropriate optical conditions, for the light source (1), and of tightness. The frame (2) will have a reflective finish, usually white.

As can be seen in the figures, the frame (2) can be rectangular, triangular, hexagonal or otherwise.
