Recessed spotlight

Description

[0001] The present finding concerns a recessed spotlight, according to the general part of claim 1.

[0002] Among the different types of "light fittings" it is common to use so called "recessed spotlights", defined in such a way due to the fact that it is partially or totally inserted inside a supporting structure, which generally consists of slabs made from plasterboard, which have a covering function like double walls and/or false ceilings. Operatively, the wall made from plasterboard must be positioned away from the wall/ceiling behind it so as to create a gap which makes it possible to contain the body of the spotlight and that, at the state of the art, can be as little as around 15 mm; such a value makes the mounting operations of normal recessed spotlights a problem, due to their bulk.

[0003] In practice, with a gap width of 15 mm, the operations of insertion of the spotlight through the slot performed on the slab and its subsequent arrangement are difficult, even when using a spotlight having small thickness, such as an LED recessed spotlight (as an example it is worth mentioning the one described in the Italian patent document n. VI2011U000022).

[0004] In the document WO 2011/123905 A2 is described a recessed spotlight, to be applied on slabs, made up of two separate parts, which are assembled to one another duly assembly on the supporting wall. However, this recessed spotlight has the same drawback of the already cited devices of the state of the art.

[0005] The purpose of the present finding is to make a recessed spotlight that does not have the drawbacks encountered by similar products of the known type.

[0006] Specifically, the purpose of the finding is to make a recessed spotlight that is simple and rapid to assemble.

[0007] Such a purpose is obtained by making a recessed spotlight according to the characterising portion of claim 1.

[0008] Constructively, one part consists of a thin sheet-like plate on which the LED light group is applied and that, fitted in the gap, through a slot that is performed on the slab, is positioned and held, by means of two lateral fins, against the inner wall of said slab.

[0009] The second part is made up of a body, with the function of protecting the LED and of closing the slot, which is applied and kept on the aforementioned plate, in a removable manner, through external screws.

[0010] In its preferred embodiment the plate is made from a material that is capable of rapidly letting off the heat generated by the LED (metal or other type of material that is suitable for the purpose), whereas the body is made from plaster, so as to facilitate the external shaving operation with the slab made from plasterboard.

[0011] The finding shall be defined more clearly with the description of a possible embodiment thereof, which is given as a non-limiting example, with the help of the attached drawing tables, in which:

• fig. 1 (Tab. I) represents a cross-section view of the assembled spotlight according to the finding;
• fig. 2 represents an exploded view of the spotlight according to fig.1;
• figs. 3-4 represent sectioned views according to the lines III-III and IV-IV of fig.2;
• figs. 5-6-7 (Tab. II) represent the mounting steps of the spotlight according to fig.1.

[0012] As visible in figs. 1-4, the spotlight according to the finding, which is wholly indicated with reference numeral 10, is mounted on a wall made from plasterboard "K" which, with the existing wall "M", defines a gap "I", all in a per se known manner.

[0013] As visible in figs. 1-4, the spotlight 10, which in the example is of the LED type, does not consist of a single block enclosing the light group that is provided with supporting lateral bars, like in spotlights of the known type, but rather, it is made up of two distinct and separate parts 1 and 2, in this case consisting of an upper band-like plate and a lower body, which are held together with screws 3.

[0014] The upper part 1 comprises a central portion 4, for supporting the underlying part 2 and where the LED light group 5 is centrally applied; it is foreseen for there to be two lateral fins 6 for anchoring inside the wall made from plasterboard "K".

[0015] The lower part 2 foresees a central light space 7, which is closed by a sliding glass piece 8.

[0016] In order to better understand the operation advantage achieved by the finding we shall describe the mounting steps of the spotlight 10 in figs. 5-6.

[0017] The first mounting step foresees the insertion of the part 1 consisting of a sheet-like plate inside the gap "I", through the slot "F", performed on the plasterboard. Subsequently, the plate is positioned on the inner part of the wall made from plasterboard and it is blocked through external screws "V", that hold lateral tabs 6. Again after, the lower body (part 2) is applied on the sheet-like plate, which is fitted on the slot "F" and is held through external screws 3.

[0018] As can be understood, in particular, by observing fig. 5, with the constructive solution according to the finding it is possible to insert the spotlights, also of the "totally recessed" type, like those represented, also on walls that have a small gap width "h" since, in said gap, only the upper plate, which has minimal bulk thickness "s" is inserted and not the entire body, which has a considerably greater thickness "S".

[0019] Of course, the shape and the dimensions of the finding, as well as the materials and its constructive details can be the most disparate, as long as all these belong to the inventive concept defined by the following claims.
