System of collectors for conduits in a dwelling

Claim 2

System of collectors for conduits in a dwelling having an assembly revolving around a rotation axis, said system comprising: a fixed central spindle (10) extending coaxially with the rotation axis; an annular collector (20) comprising a first ring and a second ring, of any desired cross section, associated with each other so as to define at least one annular chamber (50) extending symmetrically about said rotation axis, the first ring (21) being fixed and integrally mounted on the fixed central spindle, and the second ring (22) being integral with the revolving assembly of the dwelling, said second ring being mounted on the first ring so as to be capable of moving relative to the first ring by rotating about said rotation axis; at least one first transverse passage (80) formed in the first ring to bring said annular chamber into communication with a fixed conduit; at least one second transverse passage (90) formed in the second ring to bring said annular chamber into communication with a conduit of the revolving assembly; and a plurality of further coaxial annular collectors (30, 40) extending in parallel planes perpendicular to the fixed central spindle, each of said further collectors comprising two concentric rings, wherein the fixed central spindle (10) comprises a plurality of sections fixed end to end (10A, 10B, . . . ) and wherein each collector is mounted on a separate spindle section.

Claim 3

System according to claim 1, wherein the first ring comprises, on its surface facing the second ring, at least one outer ring (71) of a material which conducts electricity, and wherein said second ring comprises, on its surface facing the first ring, a plurality of collectors (72) made of a material which conducts electricity, located opposite each outer conducting ring, said collectors being pressed against the surfaces of the corresponding conductor rings, each conductor ring (71) being connected to a conductor of a supply cable (77) through a transverse passage in the first ring, and the collectors associated with one conductor ring being electrically connected to one another and to an output conductor (76) through a transverse passage in the second ring.

Claim 4

System of collectors for conduits in a dwelling having an assembly revolving around a rotation axis, said system comprising: a fixed central spindle (10) extending coaxially with the rotation axis; an annular collector (20) comprising a first ring and a second ring, of any desired cross section, associated with each other so as to define at least one annular chamber (50) extending symmetrically about said rotation axis, the first ring (21) being fixed and integrally mounted on the fixed central spindle, and the second ring (22) being integral with the revolving assembly of the dwelling, said second ring being mounted on the first ring so as to be capable of moving relative to the first ring by rotating about said rotation axis; at least one first transverse passage (80) formed in the first ring to bring said annular chamber into communication with a fixed conduit; at least one second transverse passage (90) formed in the second ring to bring said annular chamber into communication with a conduit of the revolving assembly; and a plurality of further concentric annular collectors mounted on arms (13) which are integral with said fixed central spindle (10), each of said further collectors comprising two rings superimposed on each other, wherein the arms each comprise a plurality of sections fixed end to end (13A, 13B . . . ) and wherein each collector is mounted on a separate section of each of said arms.

Claim 5

System of collectors for conduits in a dwelling having an assembly revolving around a rotation axis, said system comprising: a fixed central spindle (10) extending coaxially with the rotation axis; an annular collector (20) comprising a first ring and a second ring, of any desired cross section, associated with each other so as to define at least one annular chamber (50) extending symmetrically about said rotation axis, the first ring (21) being fixed and integrally mounted on the fixed central spindle, and the second ring (22) being integral with the revolving assembly of the dwelling, said second ring being mounted on the first ring so as to be capable of moving relative to the first ring by rotating about said rotation axis; at least one first transverse passage (80) formed in the first ring to bring said annular chamber into communication with a fixed conduit; at least one second transverse passage (90) formed in the second ring to bring said annular chamber into communication with a conduit of the revolving assembly; and a plurality of further concentric annular collectors mounted on arms (13) which are integral with said fixed central spindle (10), each of said further collectors comprising two rings superimposed on each other, wherein the arms each comprise a plurality of sections fixed end to end (13A, 13B . . . ) and wherein each collector is mounted on a separate section of each of said arms.

Claim 6

System according to claims 1 or 3, wherein at least one annular collector comprises a plurality of superimposed annular chambers.

Claim 7

System according to claims 1 or 3, wherein at least one annular collector comprises a plurality of concentric annular chambers.

Claim 8

System according to claims 1 or 3, wherein one of the rings of at least one annular collector comprises an inner annular flap (61) forming a partition in at least one annular chamber so as to form a siphon.

Claim 9

System according to claims 1 or 3, wherein the rings of at least one annular collectors comprise two inner annular flaps (61) extending in at least one annular chamber so as to form a siphon and a grease trap.
