The invention will now be better described, referring to a preferential embodiment thereof, given by way of example and not limitation, with the help of the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 represent, respectively, a side view and a sectional view, according to line II-II, of the housing of the invention, under operating condition;
FIG. 3 represents a perspective view, free of the upper lid, of the housing of the invention;
FIGS. 4 to 5 represent two perspective views of the housing of the invention, respectively in the assembly phase of the components and in the insertion phase of the shooting apparatus;
FIG. 6 represents the use of the wiring plate;
FIG. 7 represents the coupling phase of the housing to the support bracket;
FIGS. 8 and 9 represent respectively perspective and exploded views of the housing equipped with an external coating;
FIG. 10 represents a sectional view, according to line X-X of FIG. 8, of the housing of the invention;
FIG. 11-13 represent three perspective views of the housing of the invention, in three different use modes.
As may be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the telecamera housing of the invention, indicated overall with reference 1, supported by a bracket 2 and externally configured as a normal street lamp, is substantially made up of a body 3, lowerly equipped with a transparent cover 4 and which contains inside the telecamera 5 and the other accessory components and is upperly closed by a lid 6.
As may be seen in FIG. 3, which shows the housing 1 free of the upper lid 6, at least two air intakes 7 are made on the body 3, optionally equipped with a filtering mesh, which allow for the internal ventilation of the housing (see arrows “F”); said ventilation may be spontaneous or forced, through an air flow generated by the action of fans 8, placed at the above-mentioned air intakes.
The assembly operation of the various components, which are to make up the inner part of the complete housing 1 of FIG. 3, first provides for the assembly operation of the single components on a flange 9, and then, the insertion and positioning of the entire assembled group 10 inside the body 3 (see FIG. 4).
Still next, the telecamera 5 is inserted (see FIG. 5), which is coupled to the inner part previously positioned removably and independently from the other components, in order to be easily extracted or replaced without intervening on the other above-mentioned components.
As may be seen in FIG. 6, the wiring operation, or, in other words, the connection of the electric cables (not represented) of the installation coming from the inside of the bracket 2, is facilitated by the use of a plate 11, equipped with a plurality of cable ducts 12, advantageously provided with different measurements for the clamping of cables with a different section, which is applied, through screws 13, on the through slit 14, making, in such a way, a hermetic sealing with which, in combination with the hermetic sealing of the lid 6, the perfect sealing of the inner chamber of the apparatus is guaranteed.
As may be seen in FIG. 7, the coupling between the housing 1 and the support bracket 2 is made by a simple mortise joint 15, which is kept blocked by fixation screws 16; all this allows for a simple and quick interchangeability of the apparatus, thus allowing for making wall-type 2.1 (FIG. 11), ceiling-type 2.2 (FIG. 12) or floor-type 2.3 (FIG. 13) “discreet” telecamera housings, by always using the same apparatus 1.
As may be seen in FIGS. 8 and 9, the invention provides for the possibility that a coating 17 may be applied externally onto the housing 1, made up of a body 18, upperly closed by a lid 19 and held on the body 2 by screws 20.
Advantageously, as may be seen in FIG. 10, the body 18 of the coating 17 is configured as to create an air space 21, which allows for the passage of the above-described air flow inside the housing.
It may therefore be inferred from the above how, through the housing of the invention, intrinsically simple from a construction point of view, one may intervene with extreme easiness and safety on inner components and, in particular, on the adjustment of the telecamera, should the user's needs change.
Obviously, embodiments of the invention different from that described are possible, without departing from the scope of the claims, defined below.
