Description
13~
The invention relates to a housing for a working space equipment, for example, a tubular lamp, comprising two longitudinal walls constructed in the form of profile pieces arranged at a distance from one another and being intercon-5nected by means of coupling pieces.
Such a housing is known in the form of a lamp housing from Dutch Patent Application No. 7609930.
The invention has for its object to provide a housing of the kind set forth, which can be manufactured in a simple manner and has a fine appearance. To this end the pro-file pieces mainly have the form of part of a tube and the two profile pieces are interconnected by means of joining coupling pieces, having identical profiles, at least one of which is locally discontinued and the identical profiles of 15the profile pieces and coupling pieces have inwardly exten-ding longitudinal rims, which are engaged by tie means for the interconnection of the profile pieces and the coupling pieces. In this way a housing is obtained, which mainly has a regular, for example, cylindrical appearance. The tubular 20appearance is particularly obtained when the housing designed as a lamp housing comprises a coupling piece in the form of a tubing part on the top side between the ends.

The invention relates to and provides furthermore a profile piece apparently intended for use as a longitudinal wall of a housing in accordance with the invention. Such a profile piece according to the invention in conjunction with 5 further profile pieces having an identical profile may form a tubular element in which one or more, preferably all equip-ments required for a working room, for example, lamps, switching material, wiring, contact tape, information, commu-nication and ventilation means can be accommodated. The 10 tubular housing may furthermore be part of a wall and/or fur-niture structure. Profile pieces having identical profiles may furthermore be used mounting cylinders and structural components.
In the following description with reference to a 15 drawing the aforesaid and further features of the invention will be explained more fully.

Fig. 1 shows a working space in an office room. A
housing according to the invention constructed in the form of a lamp housing 1 is hanging by wires 2 at a ceiling 3 over a desk 4.
The lamp housing 1 comprises two profile pieces 5 lO forming two longitudinal walls spaced apart from one another and disposed each on one side of the place of a tubular lamp 6 and being interconnected by means of coupling pieces 7, 8, 9 and 10. Preferably, the profile pieces 5 as well as the coupling pieces 7, 8, 9 and 10 are mainly arcuate. The pro-15 file pieces 5 smoothly join the coupling pieces 7, 8, 9, and ! 10 SO that a round, octogonal, hexagonal or oval section and hence a cylindrical or at least tubular appearance is obtained. The coupling pieces 7, 8, 9, and 10 are arranged at the ends of the lamp housing 1 and close technical spaces 11 20 and 12 round about, so that herein switching material such asa starter 13, a transformer 14 and a manual switch 15 can be accommodated. The ends are closed by covers 17 and 18 in which a contact box 19 for 220 V and a contact box 20 for telephone connection respectively are arranged. The profile 25 pieces 5 and the coupling pleces 7, 8, 9, and 10 are prefer-ably made from the same, preferably aluminium sections forming part, for example, one quarter of the tubular form and having inwardly extending rims 21, around which grips a ~4813~
U-shaped bracket 22 for interconnecting the joined profiles.
The rims 21 can, moreover, carry a mirror 23 and/or 24 (figs. 6 and 7) or partitions 16 enclosing air channels 25 for drawing or supplying air (fig. 11). If the profile pieces 55 and the coupling pieces 7, 8, 9, and 10 have at the centre an extension 26 with a groove 27, a separating or mounting plate 28 can be arranged therein, which may carry technical switching material 13, 14 or other parts to be described more fully hereinafter.
Above the tubular lamp 6 a transparent hood 30 may be arranged, for example, of transparent synthetic resin or a perforated plate between the profile pieces 5, the plate smoothly snapping in between them. In the variant shown in fig. 9 two hoods 30 of this kind are arranged one on each side of the tubular lamp 6.
Such lamp housings 1 of figs. 1 and/or 7 provide a very effective working space unit. Fastening of the unit at 60 to 70 cm above a desk and e~uipped with a 40 W tubular lamp provides about 800 Lux on the work surface and suffi-20cient light for avoiding troublesome brightness ratios in thedirect environment of the work. The invention thus provides a possibility of saving material and energy.
The housing 66 of fig. 10 is a cylindrical air out-let and serves as such as a working space unit. Between the 2sprofile pieces 74 interrupted coupling pieces 84 are provi-ded, in which an air outlet element 85 is arranged which mainly consists of a profile identical to the profile pieces 74, there being, however, arranged thereon a connecting nipple 86, with which an air outlet pipe can be connected.
I . ' ' .
1~8131 The housing 66 can conduct away the drawn-in air in upward or downward direction.
The tubular lamp 6 is preferably arranged in carriers 34, which can be fastened to a partition 35 so as to sbe adjustable in a direction of height (see figs. 3, 6 and 7) for controlling the radiation downwards and also upwards in the case of fig. 7.
Fig. 12 shows an electric column 29 standing on a floor 36 and being electrically connected to a cable channel l037 lying in the floor 36.
This column 29 has a foot 38 screwed to the floor 36. The construction of the column 29 is illustrated in fig.
13. The column is a housing according to the invention mainly consisting of four identical profile pieces 5, which are interconnected by means of brackets 22 and guarded against relative, axial displacement by means of screws 39 passed across the foot 38 and the cover 40 respectively into the - grooves 27. Below, the column has a lateral contact box 41 beneath a bent-over covering plate 42 fastened to a carrier 2028. The covering plate 42 is fixed by screws 43 in a groove 27. Above, the column 29 has a tubular lamp 6 screened by two hoods 30 arranged in the manner shown in fig. 9.
The column 29 of fig. 14 is distinguished from that of fig. 12 in that the top end 44 joins a ceiling gutter 45 2sor a building profile according to Dutch Patent Application 7505763, in which electric wiring or contact strip is arran-ged, whilst the electric supply lead starts from the gutter 37, passes through the column 29 and connects a wiring system arranged in the ceiling. Thus the column 29 of fig. 14 con-3 ~8131 stitutes a coupling member between a floor and a ceiling system.
A housing without la~p is formed by one leg 46 and the three legs 47 of a table 48 of fig. 15. The leg 46 con-5sists of a short column without a lamp substantially corres-ponding with the column 29 and constructed from four profile pieces 5 with a local contact box 41. The cover 49 of each leg has a console-like extension 50, which is fastened by screws 51 to the table top 52 lying thereon. The same applies lO to the desk 53 of fig. 16, in which the leg 47 has a contact box 41 above the table top 52 and joins via an elbow con-nection 54 a horizontal lamp housing 1, which is substan-tially identical to the lamp housing 1 of fig. 1 apart from the suspension to the connecting piece 54 and the lack of 15 suspension wires 2. In the area of the table top 52 one of the four profile pieces 5 is replaced by a special profile piece 55 (fig. 17), which has two external cheeks 56, in which a console 57 is fastened, to which the table top 52 bearing thereon is screwed.
Such profile pieces 55 are, in great lengths, also suitable for construction of columns 58, as the case may be, together with profile pieces 5, for partitions 59 of fig. 18.
In each profile piece 55 a wall rim 60 can be arranged and fastened therein. Thus one, two, three or four walls can 25 extend from a column 58, whilst a corresponding number of profile pieces 5 is replaced by profile pieces 55. Without any objection a contact box 41 and/or a lamp 6 may be arranged in a column 58 joining less than four walls (see :~48131 fig. 19).
The lamp housing 1 of fig. 16 without table top 52 constitutes in itself a light column 61 as shown in fig. 20.
A hanging lamp housing 1 on an L-shaped housing 62 as an sanchorage of fig. 20 is illustrated in fig. 21, which shows in addition, a contact box 41 of a housing ~4 suspended to a ceiling 63.
As shown in fig. 22 two parallel housings 65 can be interconnected by a bracket profile 67 mainly consisting of two brackets 22' interconnected by a web 68. The other pro-file pieces 5 are interconnected by brackets 22.
As shown in fig. 23 two profile pieces 5' can be united in back-to-back relationship to form a single profile piece 69, whilst they form each part of a housing 1,for example, to form a light trough comprising a series of parallel tubular lamps 6.
The profile piece 70 of fig. 24 has two outer grooves 71 for fastening a housing constructed from such pro-file pieces 70 to a building or a piece of furniture and it 20has an inner groove 72 for receiving an electric cable 73.
The profile piece 75 of fig. 25 has an inner groove 76 for a tape lead 77 and it has only one outer groove 78 for the suspension of the housing to be made therefrom. The rims 79 have furthermore narrow grooves 80 forming together with a 2sfurther narrow groove 80 of a neighbouring profile piece 75 a peripheral channel, into which can be introduced a screw or a friction member by which two neighbouring profile pieces 75 ;
t ~8i3~
are guarded against relative, axial displacement.
Fig. 26 shows a raster of housings 82 suspended to a ceiling 81, said housings being intercoupled by cross pieces 83 and comprising optionally contact boxes 41 for 220 5 V, telephone~ telex and the like and/or tubular lamps 6.
By identical profile pieces 5, as the case may be, in conjunction with elbow-shaped, cross-shaped or T-shaped coupling pieces housings can be combined to form raster, fur-niture, wall and/or ceiling parts, whilst all kinds of lamp lO housings can be formed thereby. In this way a fine, architec-tural entity can be created.
The invention relates to a housing for a working space equipment, for example, a tubular lamp, comprising two longitudinal walls constructed in the form of profile pieces arranged at a distance from one another and being intercon-5nected by means of coupling pieces.
Such a housing is known in the form of a lamp housing from Dutch Patent Application No. 7609930.

To this end the pro-file pieces mainly have the form of part of a tube and the two profile pieces are interconnected by means of joining coupling pieces, having identical profiles, at least one of which is locally discontinued and the identical profiles of 15the profile pieces and coupling pieces have inwardly exten-ding longitudinal rims, which are engaged by tie means for the interconnection of the profile pieces and the coupling pieces. In this way a housing is obtained, which mainly has a regular, for example, cylindrical appearance. The tubular 20appearance is particularly obtained when the housing designed as a lamp housing comprises a coupling piece in the form of a tubing part on the top side between the ends.

The invention relates to and provides furthermore a profile piece apparently intended for use as a longitudinal wall of a housing in accordance with the invention. Such a profile piece according to the invention in conjunction with 5 further profile pieces having an identical profile may form a tubular element in which one or more, preferably all equip-ments required for a working room, for example, lamps, switching material, wiring, contact tape, information, commu-nication and ventilation means can be accommodated. The 10 tubular housing may furthermore be part of a wall and/or fur-niture structure. Profile pieces having identical profiles may furthermore be used mounting cylinders and structural components.
In the following description with reference to a 15 drawing the aforesaid and further features of the invention will be explained more fully.

Fig. 1 shows a working space in an office room. A
housing according to the invention constructed in the form of a lamp housing 1 is hanging by wires 2 at a ceiling 3 over a desk 4.
The lamp housing 1 comprises two profile pieces 5 lO forming two longitudinal walls spaced apart from one another and disposed each on one side of the place of a tubular lamp 6 and being interconnected by means of coupling pieces 7, 8, 9 and 10. Preferably, the profile pieces 5 as well as the coupling pieces 7, 8, 9 and 10 are mainly arcuate. The pro-15 file pieces 5 smoothly join the coupling pieces 7, 8, 9, and ! 10 SO that a round, octogonal, hexagonal or oval section and hence a cylindrical or at least tubular appearance is obtained. The coupling pieces 7, 8, 9, and 10 are arranged at the ends of the lamp housing 1 and close technical spaces 11 20 and 12 round about, so that herein switching material such asa starter 13, a transformer 14 and a manual switch 15 can be accommodated. The ends are closed by covers 17 and 18 in which a contact box 19 for 220 V and a contact box 20 for telephone connection respectively are arranged. The profile 25 pieces 5 and the coupling pleces 7, 8, 9, and 10 are prefer-ably made from the same, preferably aluminium sections forming part, for example, one quarter of the tubular form and having inwardly extending rims 21, around which grips a ~4813~
U-shaped bracket 22 for interconnecting the joined profiles.
The rims 21 can, moreover, carry a mirror 23 and/or 24 (figs. 6 and 7) or partitions 16 enclosing air channels 25 for drawing or supplying air (fig. 11). If the profile pieces 55 and the coupling pieces 7, 8, 9, and 10 have at the centre an extension 26 with a groove 27, a separating or mounting plate 28 can be arranged therein, which may carry technical switching material 13, 14 or other parts to be described more fully hereinafter.
Above the tubular lamp 6 a transparent hood 30 may be arranged, for example, of transparent synthetic resin or a perforated plate between the profile pieces 5, the plate smoothly snapping in between them. In the variant shown in fig. 9 two hoods 30 of this kind are arranged one on each side of the tubular lamp 6.
Such lamp housings 1 of figs. 1 and/or 7 provide a very effective working space unit. Fastening of the unit at 60 to 70 cm above a desk and e~uipped with a 40 W tubular lamp provides about 800 Lux on the work surface and suffi-20cient light for avoiding troublesome brightness ratios in thedirect environment of the work. The invention thus provides a possibility of saving material and energy.
The housing 66 of fig. 10 is a cylindrical air out-let and serves as such as a working space unit. Between the 2sprofile pieces 74 interrupted coupling pieces 84 are provi-ded, in which an air outlet element 85 is arranged which mainly consists of a profile identical to the profile pieces 74, there being, however, arranged thereon a connecting nipple 86, with which an air outlet pipe can be connected.
I . ' ' .
1~8131 The housing 66 can conduct away the drawn-in air in upward or downward direction.
The tubular lamp 6 is preferably arranged in carriers 34, which can be fastened to a partition 35 so as to sbe adjustable in a direction of height (see figs. 3, 6 and 7) for controlling the radiation downwards and also upwards in the case of fig. 7.
Fig. 12 shows an electric column 29 standing on a floor 36 and being electrically connected to a cable channel l037 lying in the floor 36.
This column 29 has a foot 38 screwed to the floor 36. The construction of the column 29 is illustrated in fig.
13. The column is a housing according to the invention mainly consisting of four identical profile pieces 5, which are interconnected by means of brackets 22 and guarded against relative, axial displacement by means of screws 39 passed across the foot 38 and the cover 40 respectively into the - grooves 27. Below, the column has a lateral contact box 41 beneath a bent-over covering plate 42 fastened to a carrier 2028. The covering plate 42 is fixed by screws 43 in a groove 27. Above, the column 29 has a tubular lamp 6 screened by two hoods 30 arranged in the manner shown in fig. 9.
The column 29 of fig. 14 is distinguished from that of fig. 12 in that the top end 44 joins a ceiling gutter 45 2sor a building profile according to Dutch Patent Application 7505763, in which electric wiring or contact strip is arran-ged, whilst the electric supply lead starts from the gutter 37, passes through the column 29 and connects a wiring system arranged in the ceiling. Thus the column 29 of fig. 14 con-3 ~8131 stitutes a coupling member between a floor and a ceiling system.
A housing without la~p is formed by one leg 46 and the three legs 47 of a table 48 of fig. 15. The leg 46 con-5sists of a short column without a lamp substantially corres-ponding with the column 29 and constructed from four profile pieces 5 with a local contact box 41. The cover 49 of each leg has a console-like extension 50, which is fastened by screws 51 to the table top 52 lying thereon. The same applies lO to the desk 53 of fig. 16, in which the leg 47 has a contact box 41 above the table top 52 and joins via an elbow con-nection 54 a horizontal lamp housing 1, which is substan-tially identical to the lamp housing 1 of fig. 1 apart from the suspension to the connecting piece 54 and the lack of 15 suspension wires 2. In the area of the table top 52 one of the four profile pieces 5 is replaced by a special profile piece 55 (fig. 17), which has two external cheeks 56, in which a console 57 is fastened, to which the table top 52 bearing thereon is screwed.
Such profile pieces 55 are, in great lengths, also suitable for construction of columns 58, as the case may be, together with profile pieces 5, for partitions 59 of fig. 18.
In each profile piece 55 a wall rim 60 can be arranged and fastened therein. Thus one, two, three or four walls can 25 extend from a column 58, whilst a corresponding number of profile pieces 5 is replaced by profile pieces 55. Without any objection a contact box 41 and/or a lamp 6 may be arranged in a column 58 joining less than four walls (see :~48131 fig. 19).
The lamp housing 1 of fig. 16 without table top 52 constitutes in itself a light column 61 as shown in fig. 20.
A hanging lamp housing 1 on an L-shaped housing 62 as an sanchorage of fig. 20 is illustrated in fig. 21, which shows in addition, a contact box 41 of a housing ~4 suspended to a ceiling 63.
As shown in fig. 22 two parallel housings 65 can be interconnected by a bracket profile 67 mainly consisting of two brackets 22' interconnected by a web 68. The other pro-file pieces 5 are interconnected by brackets 22.
As shown in fig. 23 two profile pieces 5' can be united in back-to-back relationship to form a single profile piece 69, whilst they form each part of a housing 1,for example, to form a light trough comprising a series of parallel tubular lamps 6.
The profile piece 70 of fig. 24 has two outer grooves 71 for fastening a housing constructed from such pro-file pieces 70 to a building or a piece of furniture and it 20has an inner groove 72 for receiving an electric cable 73.
The profile piece 75 of fig. 25 has an inner groove 76 for a tape lead 77 and it has only one outer groove 78 for the suspension of the housing to be made therefrom. The rims 79 have furthermore narrow grooves 80 forming together with a 2sfurther narrow groove 80 of a neighbouring profile piece 75 a peripheral channel, into which can be introduced a screw or a friction member by which two neighbouring profile pieces 75 ;
t ~8i3~
are guarded against relative, axial displacement.
Fig. 26 shows a raster of housings 82 suspended to a ceiling 81, said housings being intercoupled by cross pieces 83 and comprising optionally contact boxes 41 for 220 5 V, telephone~ telex and the like and/or tubular lamps 6.
By identical profile pieces 5, as the case may be, in conjunction with elbow-shaped, cross-shaped or T-shaped coupling pieces housings can be combined to form raster, fur-niture, wall and/or ceiling parts, whilst all kinds of lamp lO housings can be formed thereby. In this way a fine, architec-tural entity can be created.
