Base for the glare-free arrangement of light sources

The invention relates to the formation of a base for glare-free Arrangement of light sources, such as light bulbs, fluorescent tubes or the like, in particular for generating indirect lighting that can also be used as multi-purpose furniture.

Lighting fixtures, especially hanging lamps, floor lamps, bedside lamps, Office lamps and other types of lamps are known in a wide variety of designs and require a certain amount Quality and certain characteristics for their practicality. For example, a floor lamp generally requires a foot and a vertical support, with a proper one

Lighting without glare must be achieved and the lamp also has to blend in harmoniously with its surroundings. However, it is precisely the latter requirement that is highly dependent on this personal taste of the user of a particular lamp design,

The known lighting fixtures of this type are widespread, however, do not simultaneously meet all of the above-mentioned requirements. The way of practical application a lighting fixture is predetermined and the Users of such a lighting fixture does not have the opportunity to use this lighting fixture within wide limits both in its To change arrangement as well as in its effect. If such a change is to be made, one is forced to to acquire a new lighting fixture, which is then intended and designed for this new application. About that In addition, the tastes of the public are very different, so lighting fixtures of certain types and for certain uses are only produced in relatively small numbers, which naturally prevents economic production in large series.

The purpose of the present invention is to avoid the above mentioned disadvantages and the creation of a base for glare-free Arrangement of light sources, which can be used in a wide variety of ways due to its special design and can be modified at any time.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 16, the embodiment according to the invention Base 21 formed in a slightly different way and consists here of a rigid housing 22 within which the light sources 23 are arranged. The rigid housing 22 as a base part here has a straight middle part, and the two ends 24 and 24 are after the on the same side so that they are at the same height as level 25. In this way, the base according to the invention with the bent ends are placed down on the floor, on a piece of furniture or on some other surface, with additional, for example Parts serving as a foot can be omitted.

Due to the straight middle part of the base part 22, on the top of the base, a glass plate 26 can be placed in a suitable manner, which can serve as a shelf for various objects. Intended to this glass plate 26 can be used, for example, to hold an object to be illuminated, for example a figure the base according to the invention are turned over, as shown in FIG Floor or some other support rests and the glass plate 26 on the

both ends 24 and 24 _{9 is} placed.

A particularly useful application of this embodiment of the according to the invention is the use as wall lighting, this base horizontally or vertically with its two ends

909848/0555

can be placed against a wall, with for attachment only simple hooks and eyes are required. With this arrangement of the base according to the invention in this embodiment Depending on the intended use and the intended direction of illumination, a screen can be installed on one or the other longitudinal edge are provided. It goes without saying that several bases can be arranged next to one another in a horizontal or vertical position, or else inclined direction possible.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 19, the base according to the invention is seated with one end of the housing 22 in a vertical arrangement on a rotatable! Foot 28.29. This makes it possible to change the direction of illumination to choose in any way or even to put this base in constant rotation. With built-in Switching contacts, it is possible to achieve different lighting effects during this rotary movement of the base.

. In the simple embodiment of the inventive socket of Figure 20 of this base 21 is also of a rigid housing 22 which by a gain * c ~ ^necessary: or may be equipped bracing framework and the light sources 23 takes in itself.

In the modified embodiment of the base according to the invention according to FIGS. 22 to 24, this has a housing 41, which can either be made entirely of metal or with a A plurality of metal inserts 42 · ^, 422, ^ 3 is provided. These metallic inserts 42 are attached inside in any way and can both on the inside 44 of the base part and the Side legs 43 ^ and 432 be arranged.

These metallic inserts 42 can in turn in any way be designed and have the shape of platelets 42 or metal strips 45.

By using magnetic accessories such as seat cushions 46 or lighting fixtures 47, these can be held in a simple manner within the housing 41 and attached or removed in a simple manner be, so that an exchange of the accessories depending on the intended use of the invention Base can be done very easily and quickly. If you would simply place the cushion 46 on top 48 of the housing 41

This pillow would put through the smooth surface of the case slide off. However, by using the aforementioned magnetic parts in combination with the metal inserts 42, the cushion 46 becomes simple and held securely on the housing used as seating furniture.

As already mentioned, this magnetic holder can also be used for others Accessory parts of the base according to the invention are used, which are thereby held detachably in a simple manner in the interior of the housing.

It goes without saying that the metal inserts shown in the drawings are included not necessary if the housing itself is made of metal so that the magnetic accessories adhere to it without further ado.

Further practical applications are shown in FIGS. 25-30 of the base according to the invention reproduced, FIG. 25 being a The arrangement of the base at right angles to its support wall shows on which it rests with its two legs 49j and 492. These Embodiment is applicable, for example, for a wall lighting that is equipped with a single light source. This can then ever can be extended as required in a simple manner, as a result of which a luminous ramp 50 can then be produced, as shown in FIG Fig. 26 is shown.

909848/0555

27 and 28 show side views of the base according to the invention, the housing 41 either depending on the height of the arrangement can be covered on its upper side 51 or on its lower side 52 by means of a panel 53. That way it's in easily possible, the light rays exit upwards or downwards allow. This screen 53 can also be made magnetic and in this way from a metallic housing or from Metal inserts 42 are held. *

FIGS. 29 and 30 show further possible arrangement options, for example of the socket according to the invention, to both the practical as also improve the aesthetic effects.
