Description

So-called grid lights are known from the prior art, which are designed to receive one or more light sources. A grid light can have an installation frame, which can be inserted into an opening in a ceiling. Usually, the shape or the geometry of the mounting frame corresponds to the shape or the geometry of the opening of the ceiling.

A ceiling is sometimes referred to as a ceiling or a Abhang ceiling. The ceiling has a certain ceiling thickness. Above the ceiling is usually still a cavity to a final ceiling available. The opening of the ceiling, in particular the ceiling or the Abhangdecke, can also be referred to as a recess.

For fixing or mounting the mounting frame of the grid lamp in the ceiling opening solutions are known in which are elastically deformable brackets on the mounting frame, which protrude due to a material-related bias of the mounting frame and in the course of insertion of the mounting frame in the ceiling opening during a Passierens Ceiling opening are deformed from their original shape towards the mounting frame. After completion of installation or completed insertion of the mounting frame in the ceiling opening, the brackets then expand materially elastic again in their original form and are at least with a section on a top or back surface of the ceiling.

During the insertion of the mounting frame or subsequently, it may still be possible to plastically deform a retaining clip that is flexibly configured from the material in such a way that it bears far enough against the mounting frame. However, such mounting frame have the disadvantage that - if the grid light z. B. for the purpose of maintenance can be seen again from the opening of the ceiling - the hard to reach from the back of the ceiling ago retaining clip must be deformed back to the mounting frame. However, this deformation is very expensive, since this special tool is necessary.

An object of the present invention can therefore be seen to propose a mounting frame for insertion into an opening of a ceiling, wherein a fixing of the mounting frame in the ceiling in an efficient manner and reversibly possible.

The object is achieved by a device for insertion into an opening of a ceiling according to claim 1. Furthermore, the object of the invention is achieved by a system according to claim 14. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Proposed is a device for insertion into an opening of a ceiling. The device has a circumferential and polygonal mounting frame. The mounting frame is designed for direct or indirect recording of a light source. Furthermore, the device has a first, plate-shaped sliding element, which is mounted in a first arrangement by means of a first linear guide on the mounting frame and releasably secured, that the first sliding element in the direction of a linear guide axis of the first linear guide between a first position and a second position displaceable is. The first, plate-shaped sliding element is also referred to as a first sliding element. In the first position of the first arrangement, the first sliding element protrudes beyond the installation frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide, so that a first, outside edge of the first sliding element forms a bearing edge for resting on a back side of the ceiling. In the second position of the first arrangement, the sliding element does not project beyond the installation frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide.

The first arrangement of the first sliding element is in particular a first arrangement of the first sliding element relative to the mounting frame. The first arrangement of the first sliding element can also be understood as a first orientation of the first sliding element relative to the mounting frame. In particular, this first orientation is a first horizontal and / or a first vertical orientation of the first sliding element relative to the mounting frame.

The first sliding element is plate-shaped, since in particular it has a base body with a substantially flat and / or flat extension. In the first arrangement, this flat and / or flat extension of the basic body can be mounted parallel to a planar extension of that region of the mounting frame on which the sliding element or the basic body is mounted.

With the onset of the device may preferably be meant a partial insertion of the device or the associated mounting frame. The ceiling, in the opening of which the device can be used, preferably has a flat or a flat back, which extends in particular along a two-dimensional plane. The mounting frame preferably has four corners, wherein the mounting frame in particular a has rectangular base. The opening in the ceiling can at least substantially correspond to the base of the Einbaurahmes.

When reference is hereinafter made to the sliding element, it is preferably meant the first sliding element. In addition, it is preferably provided that, when reference is made hereinafter to the linear guide, so that preferably the first linear guide is meant.

The sliding element can be mounted by means of the linear guide in the first arrangement mounted on the mounting frame. However, this arrangement is preferably not limited to a position in the direction of the linear guide axis of the linear guide. Rather, the first arrangement of the sliding element can also exist if the sliding element is displaced by means of the first linear guide in the direction of the associated linear guide axis. By moving the sliding element can be brought into the first position or the second position. In addition, the sliding element can be moved by means of the linear guide from the first position to the second position, or vice versa, wherein the first arrangement of the sliding element relative to the mounting frame is maintained. Thus, when speaking of a first position of the first arrangement of the sliding element in the following, it is preferably meant that the sliding element in the first arrangement relative to the mounting frame, wherein the sliding element is (moreover) in the first position. The same applies to the second position of the first arrangement. Thus, when speaking of a second position of the first arrangement of the sliding element in the following, it is preferably meant that the sliding element in the first arrangement relative to the mounting frame, wherein the sliding element (also) is in the second position.

The sliding element may have a front side and a rear side. The front side and the rear side may each have a surface which correspond to a base surface of the sliding element. The front and the back can each have the same area. The other sides of the sliding element may be formed by a peripheral edge. The edge may form a plurality of edges of the sliding element. Thus, the edge of the sliding element form a first, outside edge. The first, outside edge is preferably aligned, at least in sections, parallel and obliquely to the direction of the linear guide axis and / or formed. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the first, outside edge, at least in sections, aligned parallel to or inclined to a base surface of the mounting frame and / or is formed. The first, outside edge may be formed integrally with the remainder of the edge of the sliding element.

The sliding element projects with its first, outer-side edge in the first position of the first arrangement in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide preferably beyond the mounting frame such that the first, outer-side edge of the sliding element projects beyond a corner edge of the mounting frame. However, the sliding element with its first outer edge in the second position of the first arrangement does not project beyond this corner edge of the mounting frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide. Preferably, the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide is parallel to a lower-side circumferential edge of the mounting frame.

The proposed device for insertion into an opening of a ceiling, which is also referred to as ceiling opening, is particularly advantageous because the sliding element can linger for a step of inserting the mounting frame in the ceiling opening in the second position, in which the sliding element just does not protrudes the mounting frame, at least in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide. If the step of inserting the mounting frame is completed in the opening of the ceiling, the sliding element can be moved from the second position to the first position, whereby a fixing of the mounting frame can be achieved on the ceiling. In this first position, the sliding element with its outside edge forms the support edge for resting on the back of the ceiling. For, like the first, outside edge, the support edge is also preferably aligned, and / or designed, at least in sections, parallel or obliquely to the direction of the linear guide axis or the base surface of the mounting frame. The orientation of the sliding element is preferably maintained during the displacement. Therefore, the support edge can reach parallel or diagonally across the back of the ceiling. Thus, therefore, a holding force is achieved at the support edge between the outside edge of the sliding element and the back of the ceiling. In other words, the opening of the ceiling to the base of the frame correspond, without the need in the ceiling of a further recess through which an attachment can be made. In addition, can be dispensed with a, in particular costly to produce, access to the back of the ceiling to attach the device to the ceiling. Rather, this can be done out of the, formed by the mounting frame interior, which is the assembly of Device and the mounting frame on the ceiling facilitates and / or accelerated.

In contrast to the purely exemplary known from the prior art solution (see above), in which it must be trusted that a clip expands by itself due to their material properties and then comes with at least a portion to rest on the back of the ceiling, it is possible by the inventively proposed device that only the sliding element must be moved. The displacement direction is predetermined by the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide, so that a user only has to effect a displacement of the sliding element between the second and the first position. This shift is then steered by the linear guide almost automatically. Thus, the sliding element is guided in a predetermined manner due to the first linear guide so that only the displacement of the sliding element must be effected by the user, but not a basic orientation of the sliding element relative to the mounting frame. The linear guide thus results in a preferred degree of freedom for a displacement of the sliding element parallel to the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame. In addition, the user receives a haptic feedback by the displacement of the sliding element, which is caused on the one hand by the noticeable movement of the sliding element and on the other hand by reaching the second position. The haptic feedback thus provides the user with deterministic and reliable information as to whether the attachment to the ceiling has actually taken place.

The linear guide is preferably configured in that at least one guide element engages in a guide opening and in the guide opening in the direction of the linear guide axis is displaceable. The guide opening in this case preferably has a longitudinal extent in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide. Preferably, the guide opening is a slot with an extension in the direction of the linear guide axis. The extent of the slot is preferably greater than a width of the guide element, in the direction of the linear guide axis. Thus, the guide member may be guided in the slot in the direction of the linear guide axis. The opposite ends of the slot, in the direction of the linear guide axis, can form stops for the guide element. If the guide element abuts one of the two stops, the sliding element can be in the first position. If the guide element is located on another of the two stops, the sliding element can be in the second position. In other words, the linear guide may have stops for the first and / or the second position. Preferably, the guide element on the sliding element, in particular releasably secured, and the guide opening formed on the mounting frame. Alternatively, it can be provided that the guide opening formed on the sliding element and the guide element on the mounting frame, in particular releasably secured.

In one example, the guide element is designed in several parts. Thus, the guide element may have two guide pins spaced apart from each other, which engage in a parallel displaceable manner in the guide opening. The guide pins can be attached to a base body of the sliding element, in particular detachably. In particular, the guide pins in openings of the base element, in particular releasably secured. This can be done by means of a respective screw connection. Preferably, the guide pins have respective threads, wherein clamping of the sliding element on the mounting frame can be effected by rotating the guide pins or rotating threaded elements located on the guide pin. Preferably, the guide pins are screws.

These can be screwed with their threaded ends in the openings of the body, wherein the openings of the Grundköpers each have an internal thread. Tightening the screws can therefore cause a clamping of the sliding element on the mounting frame. The clamp can be referred to as a clamp fixation. It brings a clamping force in a frictional manner, so that the sliding element is fixed relative to the mounting frame, which prevents unwanted, independent moving.

Preferably, the first sliding element has a second, outer edge, wherein the first sliding element and the first linear guide are formed such that the first sliding element instead of the first arrangement in a second arrangement by means of the first linear guide mounted on the mounting frame and releasably secured in that the first sliding element is displaceable in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide between a first position of the second arrangement and a second position of the second arrangement. In the first position of the second arrangement, the first sliding element protrudes beyond the mounting frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide, so that the second, outer edge of the first sliding element forms the support edge for resting on the back of the ceiling. Furthermore, in the second position of the second arrangement, the sliding element does not protrude beyond the installation frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide.

As far as it makes sense, reference is preferably made to the explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects that have been discussed in connection with the first, outside edge in an analogous manner for the second, outside edge. As far as it makes sense, reference is preferably made to the explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects that have been discussed in connection with the first arrangement and / or the associated positions in an analogous manner for the second arrangement and / or the associated positions taken.

This second arrangement of the first sliding element relative to the mounting frame preferably results from a rotation of the sliding element out of the first arrangement around the linear guide axis of the first linear guide by preferably 180 °. In other words, the sliding element can be rotated by 180 ° about the linear guide axis and / or "folded" to transfer the sliding element from the first arrangement to the second arrangement. This embodiment of the device is advantageous in that different arrangements of the sliding element relative to the mounting frame with different, outside edges as support edges for resting on the back of the ceiling can be obtained by a rotation of the sliding element to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide.

It is thus possible that the sliding element or the plate-shaped main body of the sliding element has a plurality of different outside edges, so that can be formed by one and the same sliding element different support edges for resting on the back of the ceiling, depending on which outside edge forms the support edge , In other words, it is preferably provided that the bearing edge is formed in the first arrangement of the first sliding element of the first, outer edge, whereas the bearing edge is formed in the second arrangement of the first sliding element of the second, outer edge. Consequently, in the second arrangement, the supporting edge is not formed by the first, outside edge.

Preferably, the first linear guide and the first sliding element are designed such that the first sliding element can be mounted in the first or second arrangement by means of the first linear guide on the mounting frame and releasably secured. This can be done by means of the same guide element and the same guide opening. For example, the first sliding element can be designed such that the guide element protrudes beyond a side surface or an opposite side surface of the sliding element. This may preferably be optionally adjusted. For example, for the first arrangement, the guide element can protrude beyond one of the two side surfaces, where the guide element for the second arrangement projects beyond the other side surface.

Preferably, the second outboard edge is a parallel outboard edge opposite the first outboard edge. This embodiment is advantageous, since this makes it possible to produce, in particular, similar, outside edges of the same direction of progression but different distances to a bottom side or a lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame. The resulting in different arrangements of the sliding element different distances between the outside edges (or each bearing edge formed before) towards the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame can then be used to adapt the device to different ceiling thicknesses.

In the event that the support edge is formed by an outer edge, which is aligned parallel to the peripheral edge of the mounting frame and / or parallel to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide, there is a further advantage. In this case, it is possible to rest the support edge flat on a flat plane of the back of the ceiling.

Preferably, the first, outer edge in the first arrangement of the sliding element relative to the linear guide axis of the linear guide and / or to the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame, at least in sections, an angle between 3 ° and 15 °, preferably of 4 °. This is advantageous since, as a result, the first, outside edge, depending on the displacement width of the sliding element relative to the first position, forms different distances between the bearing edge and the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame. The distance here is preferably based on a distance directly on the lateral outer side of the mounting frame. Due to the variable distance z. B. tolerance deviations of the ceiling thickness, the sliding element or the mounting frame can be compensated.

Preferably, the second, outer edge in the second arrangement of the sliding element relative to the linear guide axis of the linear guide and / or to the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame at an angle of 4 °. For the second, outside edge, the analog advantages and / or effects, as have been previously described for the first, outside edge.

Preferably, the first, outside edge has a first distance to the Linear guide axis of the first linear guide on. Furthermore, the second, outer-side edge preferably has a second distance to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide, wherein the second distance differs from the first distance. In other words, it is preferably provided that the support edge in the first arrangement of the sliding element has a first distance to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide and / or to the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame, wherein the support edge in the second arrangement of the first sliding element has a second distance to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide and / or the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame, wherein the first distance is different from the second distance. Preferably, the first distance is smaller than the second distance, or vice versa. This makes it possible, by choosing the arrangement as the first or the second arrangement, the support edge in such a way that results in a respectively different distance between the support edge and the linear guide axis and the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame. This is advantageous because in this case, in the case of different ceiling thicknesses of the ceiling, a same installation height of the mounting frame in relation to the ceiling can be achieved. It can therefore be achieved with respect to different ceiling thicknesses by a simple rotation or rotation of the sliding element about the linear guide axis of the first linear guide an adjustment of the distance between the support edge and the lower peripheral edge of the mounting frame.

Preferably, the first sliding element has a third outer edge, wherein the first sliding element and the first linear guide are designed such that the first sliding element instead of the first or the second arrangement in a third arrangement by means of the first linear guide mounted on the mounting frame and releasably is fixed, that the first sliding element in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide between a first position of the third arrangement and a second position of the third arrangement is displaceable. Here, in the first position of the third arrangement, the first sliding element projects beyond the installation frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide, so that the third outer edge of the first sliding element forms the support edge for resting on the back of the ceiling. In the second position of the third arrangement, the first sliding element does not protrude beyond the mounting frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the first linear guide.

Insofar as it makes sense, reference is preferably made to the explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects that have been discussed in connection with the first and / or second, outside edge in an analogous manner for the third, outside edge. Insofar as it is expedient, reference is preferably made to the explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects which have been discussed in connection with the first and / or second arrangement and / or the associated positions in an analogous manner for the third arrangement and / or the related positions.

The third arrangement of the sliding element or the base body of the sliding element relative to the mounting frame preferably results from a rotation or rotation of the sliding element about a vertical axis out of the first arrangement. This vertical axis preferably runs perpendicular to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide.

Preferably, the first linear guide and the first sliding element are designed such that the first sliding element can be mounted in the first, second or third arrangement by means of the first linear guide on the mounting frame and releasably secured. This can be done by means of the same guide element and the same guide opening.

The provision of the third arrangement is advantageous, since in this way a further, third variant of a supporting edge can be formed. In other words, it is preferably provided that the bearing edge in the first arrangement of the first sliding element from the first, outer edge, in the second arrangement of the first sliding element of the second, outer edge, and in the third arrangement of the first sliding element of the third , outside edge is formed. In the first arrangement, therefore, the supporting edge is not formed by the second or third, outer edge. Consequently, in the second arrangement, the supporting edge is not formed by the first or third, outside edge. Thus, in the third arrangement, the supporting edge is not formed by the first or second outer edge. In other words, the support edge is preferably exclusively formed by only one of the outside edges.

Preferably, the third outer edge is aligned or formed obliquely to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide. For example, the third edge may be aligned or formed at an angle between 10 ° and 70 ° relative to the linear guide axis of the first linear guide. This allows use of the third, outside edge for installation for different or different installation heights. For this purpose, the sliding element from the second position in such a first position can be brought, in which rests the third, outer edge as a support edge on a back of the ceiling. Preferably, the third edge is as a support edge at the installation of the mounting frame in the ceiling obliquely on the ceiling back on. Depending on how far the sliding element is displaced away from the second position, the smaller the distance of the support edge to the underside edge of the mounting frame. This allows flexible adaptation to a thickness of the ceiling.

Preferably, the device is designed such that the first sliding element in the first position of the first, the second and / or the third arrangement can be locked. This locking is preferably carried out with respect to the mounting frame. This locking can preferably be done by means of a releasable screw connection. As already mentioned above, the guide pins preferably have respective threads, wherein clamping of the sliding element on the mounting frame can be effected by rotating the guide pins or rotating threaded elements located on the guide pin. Preferably, the guide pins are screws. These can be screwed with their threaded ends in the openings of the body, the openings of the Grundköpers each having an internal thread. Tightening the screws can therefore cause a clamping of the sliding element on the mounting frame. The clamp can be referred to as a clamp fixation. It brings a clamping force in a frictional manner, so that the first sliding element is fixed relative to the mounting frame, which prevents unwanted, autonomous displacement.

Preferably, the device has at least one further sliding element and a respectively associated linear guide, which is or are in each case formed in the manner of the first sliding element or the first linear guide. Thus, the device may for example comprise a second, plate-shaped sliding element, which is mounted in a first associated arrangement by means of a second linear guide on the mounting frame and releasably secured, that the second sliding element in the direction of a linear guide axis of the second linear guide between a first position and a second position is displaceable, wherein the second sliding element in the first position of the first arrangement projects beyond the mounting frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the second linear guide, so that a first, outer edge of the second sliding element forms a support edge for resting on a back of the ceiling, and wherein the second sliding element in the second position of the first arrangement does not protrude beyond the mounting frame in the direction of the linear guide axis of the second linear guide. As far as it makes sense, reference is preferably made to the explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects that have been discussed in connection with the first sliding element and / or the first linear guide in an analogous manner for the second sliding element and / or the second linear guide reference taken. Thus, the second sliding element and the second linear guide could for example be designed such that the second sliding element instead of the first, associated arrangement in a second, associated arrangement - or preferably even in a third, associated arrangement - by means of the second linear guide on the mounting frame such mounted and releasably secured, that the second sliding element in the direction of the linear guide axis of the second linear guide between a first position of the respective arrangement and a second position of the respective arrangement is displaceable.

In addition to the first sliding element and the second sliding element, the device may preferably comprise a third sliding element and a fourth sliding element. For the third sliding element, the device preferably has a third linear guide. For the fourth sliding element, the device preferably has a fourth linear guide. As far as it is expedient, it is preferable to discuss the explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects that have been discussed in connection with the second sliding element and / or the second linear guide (including the reference) in an analogous manner for the third sliding element and / or the third linear guide reference. Insofar as it is expedient, reference is preferably made to the explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects that have been discussed in connection with the second sliding element and / or the second linear guide (including the reference) in an analogous manner for the fourth sliding element and / or the fourth linear guide reference.

If, in the following, several sliding elements are used, this is preferably intended to mean the first sliding element and the second sliding element. However, it may also be meant in addition the third and fourth sliding element.

An embodiment of the device with a plurality of sliding elements is advantageous, as a result, a fixation of the device or the mounting frame in the ceiling opening must be made not only by a single sliding element, but can be moved to different sliding elements.

An advantageous embodiment of the device is characterized in that the first sliding element and the further sliding element or one of the further sliding elements are mounted on respective opposite outer sides of the mounting frame by means of the respective linear guides and releasably secured. In other words, two of the sliding elements can be mounted on opposite outer sides of the mounting frame by means of a respective linear guide and releasably secured. The two sliding elements are preferably the first sliding element and the second sliding element. The outer sides are preferably parallel to one another, so that the sliding elements can be arranged parallel to one another in the sense. In addition, their respective linear guide axes of the linear guides can also run parallel to each other.

Preferably, the mounting frame has a rectangular, in particular square, cross-section. In this case, the mounting frame can have two parallel longitudinal sides and two parallel transverse sides. The sides of the mounting frame are preferably configured circumferentially, so that the mounting frame can have four corners or four corner edges, on which in each case a longitudinal side on a transverse side, or vice versa, strikes. For each corner of the mounting frame can, in particular exactly, be provided one of the sliding elements. Preferably, the sliding elements are mounted by means of the respectively associated linear guide on the longitudinal or transverse side region of the mounting frame and releasably secured.

Preferably, the support edges of the sliding elements are arranged in a common two-dimensional plane. This two-dimensional plane preferably coincides with the assembly of the mounting frame in the ceiling with a flat back of the ceiling. This results in the advantage that the support edges of the sliding elements can at least substantially rest flat on the back of the ceiling.

Preferably, the mounting frame has one or more receiving devices for a direct or indirect recording of the at least one lighting means. Thus, the receiving device may be designed to receive a lamp. The lamp can have the light source. In addition, the lamp may have other means to hold the bulbs. In addition, the lamp may have fastening means which can cooperate with the receiving device such that the lamp can be fastened to the mounting frame. In this case, the at least one receiving device can serve for the indirect reception of the at least one luminous means and / or be configured. Alternatively, it can be provided that the at least one receiving device of the mounting frame is designed for direct reception of the at least one lighting means. In this case, the device may be at least co-formed by a lamp. In other words, the device may be a luminaire. The at least one receiving device of the mounting frame of the lamp can continue to be designed for direct or indirect recording of bulbs. Thus, further means may be provided for the luminaire, which are designed and / or used for producing a connection between the lighting means and the receiving device.

The object mentioned above is also achieved by a system. The system has the illustrated device for insertion into an opening of a ceiling, wherein at least one light source is accommodated in the mounting frame of the device. The explanations, advantageous embodiments, advantages and / or effects discussed in connection with the device are analogously made to the system.

Before then, the advantages and / or benefits of the device 2 should be explained before, that the mounting frame 8th a panel 34 can have. The aperture 34 may have the shape of a circumferential, polygonal ring or flat frame member. The aperture 34 preferably extends perpendicular to the mounting frame 8th or the associated frame elements 24 to 30 , The aperture 34 can be formed in one piece or multiple parts. In addition, the aperture closes 34 preferably to a circumferential, lower edge 35 of the mounting frame 8th at. Even if it was advantageously carried out that the aperture 34 the mounting frame 8th is assigned, in addition, if of the mounting frame 8th is spoken, at least by way of example only the circumferential frame to be meant by the frame elements 24 to 30 is formed.

In addition, the mounting frame 8th one or more recording devices 36 exhibit. The at least one receiving device 36 may be adapted to illuminate directly or indirectly thereto 10 to fix. Thus, the at least one receiving device 36 for direct attachment of bulbs 10 be educated. Alternatively, it may be provided that the receiving device 36 is designed for receiving a lighting device, which may also be referred to as a light. The lighting device is not shown. The lighting device may also have a frame construction, which is suitable for receiving bulbs 10 is trained. Thus, the mounting frame 8th be formed, for example, for receiving a lamp, wherein the receiving devices 36 serve for attachment of the lamp and / or are formed. To the explanations in To simplify further, the following are the aperture 34 containing at least one receiving device 36 as well as the bulbs 10 not shown.

In 3 is the device 2 shown schematically as previously in 2 introduced and explained. The device 2 has a first, plate-shaped sliding element 12 on, as the first sliding element 12 referred to as. The first sliding element 12 can therefore be designed in the manner of a, in particular flat, plate. The first sliding element 12 has a front 38 and an opposite (invisible) back 40 on. The front 38 and the back 40 have the same area. This surface also corresponds to the plate-shaped base surface of the first sliding element 12 , Although the first sliding element 12 flat or plate-shaped, it has a - albeit small - thickness. Between the front 38 and the back 40 Therefore, a circumferential edge extends 42 , The surrounding edge 42 can have multiple edges of the first sliding element 12 form. So forms the circumferential edge 42 a first, outside edge 16 of the first sliding element 12 out. Opposite to the first, outside edge 16 forms the circumferential edge 42 a second, outside edge 44 out. The first, outside edge 16 and the second, outside edge 44 can be the same end section 46 of the first sliding element 12 be assigned. In an opposite second end portion 48 of the first sliding element 12 can from the first sliding element 12 or from the circumferential edge 42 two more outside edges 48 . 50 be educated. One of these edges is called the third, outside edge 48 designated. The remaining edge is called the fourth, outside edge 50 designated. The fourth, outside edge 50 is opposite to the third, outside edge 48 ,

For further discussion, reference is made first to the first, outside edge 16 of the first sliding element 12 To be received. The first sliding element 12 is in a first arrangement A1 by means of a first linear guide 14 such on the mounting frame 8th mounted and releasably secured, so that the first sliding element 12 in the direction of a linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 between a first position P1 and a second position P2 is displaceable. The first linear guide 14 is at least partially from the first sliding element 12 and the mounting frame 8th educated. This can be the mounting frame 8th a slot 52 exhibit. The longitudinal extent of the slot 52 is in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 , The slot 52 Thus, a guide opening for the first linear guide 14 form. The first sliding element is preferred 12 on the outside of the mounting frame 8th arranged. That's why the slot is 52 in 3 shown in dashed lines. The installation frame 8th encloses a frame interior 54 , From the frame interior 54 grab two guide pins 56 through the slot 52 , Each of the guide bolts 56 is designed in the manner of a screw. With the threaded end, each of the guide pins engages 56 in a threaded hole 58 of the first sliding element 12 , The threaded holes 58 are spaced from each other. Like from the 3 shows are the threaded holes 58 spaced apart in the direction of the linear guide axis L1. Through the slot 52 , the tapped holes 58 and the guide pins 56 becomes the first linear guide 14 educated. The distance between the threaded holes 58 is smaller than the longitudinal extent of the slot 52 in the direction of the linear guide axis L1. Thus, the first sliding element 12 be moved in the direction of the linear guide axis L1, wherein the guide pins 56 not yet fully dressed. The ends of the slot 52 , which are opposite in the direction of the linear guide axis L1, form stops for the threaded bolt 56 , so by means of the threaded bolt 56 and the long hole 52 a displacement of the first sliding element 12 is limited, between the second position P2, as in 3 is shown, and the first position P1, as exemplified in the cross-sectional view 4 - the too 3 corresponds - is shown. In both positions P1, P2 is the first sliding element 12 in a first arrangement A1 relative to the mounting frame 8th , Because the basic orientation of the first sliding element 12 remains even during the displacement of the first sliding element 12 between said first position P1 and said second position P2, or vice versa.

The 4 shows the device 2 while the mounting frame 8th in the opening 4 the ceiling 6 is inserted. This was the first sliding element 12 shifted to the first position P1 of the first arrangement A1. In the first position P1 of the first arrangement A1, the first sliding element protrudes 12 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis L1, with the first end portion 46 so that the first, outside edge 16 of the first sliding element 12 a support edge 18 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling 6 forms. The bearing edge 18 is preferably characterized by being at the bottom 84 of the mounting frame 8th has. Thus, the support edge 18 also towards the back 20 the ceiling 6 , Between the back 20 the ceiling 6 and that of the first, outside edge 16 formed bearing edge 18 forms a holding force. This holding force contributes to the device 2 on the ceiling 6 attached or held. In other words, the device lies 2 under With the aid of the first sliding element 12 on the back side 20 the ceiling 6 on.

To the device 2 or the mounting frame 8th before in the opening 4 the ceiling 6 pushing in is the first sliding element 12 in the second position P2 of the first arrangement A1, as shown by way of example in FIG 3 is shown. In the second position P2 of the first arrangement A1, the first sliding element protrudes 12 not over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 out. The device 3 can then first into the opening 4 the ceiling 6 be inserted. Then, the displacement of the first sliding element takes place 12 in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 , This changes the position of the first sliding element 12 namely, from the second position P2 of the first arrangement A1 to the first position P1 of the first arrangement A1. The corresponding holding effect has been explained previously. In the first position of the first arrangement can then guide pins 56 be tightened, so that a force-locking connection between the first sliding element 12 and the mounting frame 8th arises. In other words, the sliding element 12 be fixed and / or locked in the first position P1 of the first arrangement A1. This prevents the sliding element from shifting on its own, which ensures safe installation.

Because the guide bolts 56 from the frame interior 54 of the mounting frame 8th accessible, there is no need for further access through the ceiling 6 to the assembly of the device 2 or the mounting frame 8th on the ceiling 6 or the opening 4 the ceiling 6 to ensure. Rather, the user can through the frame interior 54 of the mounting frame 8th to the guide bolts 56 grab by using the guide bolts 56 the displacement of the first sliding element 12 and / or subsequently tightening the guide pins 56 make. In addition, it can be provided that a grip element is provided, which also through the slot 52 or another hole in the mounting frame 8th summarizes, so that with the handle element, a displacement of the first sliding element 12 between the first position P1 of the first arrangement A1 and the second position P2 of the first arrangement A1, or vice versa.

For the device 2 are several, more sliding elements 60 . 62 . 64 provided, each analogous to the first sliding element 12 are formed. So can the device 2 also a second sliding element 60 , a third sliding element 62 and a fourth sliding element 64 exhibit. For each of the other sliding elements 60 . 62 . 64 can a corresponding linear guide 66 . 68 . 70 be provided, each analogous to the first linear guide 14 are formed. By means of the corresponding linear guides 66 . 68 . 70 this can be the respective sliding element 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 be moved along a corresponding linear guide axis M1, N1, O1.

So is the second, plate-shaped sliding element 60 in a first arrangement B1 by means of the second linear guide 66 such on the mounting frame 8th mounted and releasably secured, that the second sliding element 60 in the direction of a linear guide axis M1 of the second linear guide 66 between a first position Q1 and a second position Q2 is displaceable. In this case, the second sliding element protrudes 60 in the first position Q1 of the first arrangement B1 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis M1 of the second linear guide 66 out, leaving a first, outside edge 72 of the second sliding element 60 another, so second bearing edge 74 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling 6 forms. The second sliding element 60 does not protrude beyond the mounting frame in the second position Q2 of the first arrangement B1 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis M1 of the second linear guide 66 out.

For example, in 4 also the second sliding element 60 illustrated, wherein the second sliding element 60 in the first position Q1 of the first arrangement B1 of the second sliding element 60 is. In this case, the second sliding element protrudes 60 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis M1 of the second linear guide 66 out, leaving the first, outside edge 72 of the second sliding element 60 the further or second bearing edge 74 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling forms. Thus, the device lies 2 or the mounting frame 8th by means of the first sliding element 12 and the second sliding element 60 on the back side 20 the ceiling 6 on.

As previously explained, the device 2 preferably also the third, plate-shaped sliding element 62 on. The third sliding element 62 is in a first arrangement C1 by means of a third linear guide 68 such on the mounting frame 8th mounted and releasably secured, that the third sliding element 62 in the direction of a linear guide axis N1 the third linear guide 68 is displaceable between a first position and a second position R2. In this case, the third sliding element protrudes 62 in the first position of the first arrangement C1 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis N1 of the third linear guide 68 out, leaving a first, outside edge 76 of the third sliding element 62 a further, in particular third bearing edge 78 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling 6 forms. The third sliding element 62 does not project beyond the mounting frame in the second position R2 of the first arrangement C1 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis N1 of the third linear guide 68 out.

Finally, the device points 2 the fourth, plate-shaped sliding element 64 on. The fourth sliding element 64 is in a first arrangement D1 by means of a fourth linear guide 70 such on the mounting frame 8th mounted and releasably secured, that the fourth sliding element 64 in the direction of a linear guide axis O1 of the fourth linear guide 70 is displaceable between a first position and a second position S2. In this case, the fourth sliding element protrudes 64 in the first position of the first arrangement D1 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis O1 of the fourth linear guide 70 out, leaving a first, outside edge 80 of the fourth sliding element 64 another, in particular fourth bearing edge 82 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling 6 forms. The fourth sliding element 64 does not protrude beyond the installation frame in the second position S2 of the first arrangement D1 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis O1 of the fourth linear guide 70 out.

In addition, at this point for further advantageous embodiments, effects and / or advantages of the fourth sliding element 64 to the following explanations, advantages and / or effects in an analogous manner, in connection with the first sliding element 12 be explained.

Thus, the second linear guide 66 , the third linear guide 68 and the fourth linear guide 70 each analogous to the first linear guide 14 educated. In addition, the mounting frame 8th for each of the linear guides 14 . 66 . 68 . 70 a slot 52 form. In addition, each of the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 threaded holes 58 exhibit. For each of the threaded holes 58 can be a guide pin 56 Be provided by the corresponding slot 52 engages with a corresponding external thread in the threaded hole 58 enclosed frictionally and / or positively.

For ease of illustration and / or discussion is dispensed with separate figures, the third sliding element 62 and / or the fourth sliding element 64 in the respective first position of the respective first arrangement C1 and D1, respectively. However, it should be noted that the second sliding element 60 and the second linear guide 66 , the third sliding element 62 and the third linear guide 68 and the fourth sliding element 64 and the fourth linear guide 70 analogous to the first sliding element 12 and the first linear guide 14 are formed.

So now if the device 2 or the mounting frame 8th in the opening 4 the ceiling 6 is to be used is each of the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 into the respective second position P2, Q2, R2, S2 of the respective first arrangement A1, B1, C1, D1, so that none of the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 in the direction of the respective linear guide axis L1, M1, N1, O1 of the respective linear guide 14 . 66 . 68 . 70 protrudes.

Is the device 2 or the mounting frame 8th in the opening 4 The ceiling can be used any of the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 be moved so that the respective sliding element 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 in the respective first position P1, Q1. This protrudes the first, outside edge 16 . 72 . 76 . 80 of the respective sliding element 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 in the direction of the respective linear guide axis L1, M1, N1, O1 via the mounting frame 8th out. This forms each first, outside edge 16 . 72 . 76 . 80 a respective support edge 18 . 74 . 78 . 82 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling 6 , This is the device 2 or the mounting frame 8th by means of the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 on the back side 20 the ceiling 6 on.

In practice, it may happen that for different ceilings 6 different materials are used. It may therefore happen that the ceiling thickness E of the ceiling 6 not always the same. A common ceiling thickness E is for example 25 mm. A corresponding blanket 6 For example, by the ceiling thickness E in 4 be represented. It can, however happen that the ceiling 6 has a smaller ceiling thickness E. For example, the ceiling thickness E can be 12.5 mm. To the device 2 or the mounting frame 8th on a blanket 6 can be fixed with a ceiling thickness E of 12.5 mm as well as the same installation frame 8th or the same device 2 for attachment to a ceiling 6 With a ceiling thickness of 25 mm, it is intended that the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 not only in the respective first arrangement A1, B1, C1, D1 by means of the respective linear guide 14 . 66 . 68 . 82 stored and releasably secured, but that the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 also in a further, in particular second arrangement A2, B2, C2, D2 by means of the respective linear guide 14 . 66 . 68 . 72 stored and detachable on the mounting frame 8th can be attached. This is intended, for example, with reference to the first sliding element 12 be discussed. However, the same applies to the second sliding element 60 , the third sliding element 62 and the fourth sliding element 64 or the associated linear guides 66 . 68 . 70 ,

So it is envisaged that the first sliding element 12 and the first linear guide 14 are formed such that the first sliding element instead of in the first arrangement A1 in a second arrangement A2 by means of the first linear guide 14 is mounted on the mounting frame and releasably secured such that the first sliding element 12 in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 between a first position P3 of the second arrangement A2 and a second position P4 of the second arrangement A2 is displaceable. The first linear guide 14 So is the reciprocal bearing and releasably securing the first sliding element 12 on the mounting frame 8th educated. The other linear guides 66 . 68 . 70 can be designed analog. For further explanation, please refer to the 5 and 6 directed.

To the first sliding element 12 into the second arrangement A2, the guide pins 56 from the threaded holes 58 solved, so that the first sliding element 12 from the mounting frame 8th can be separated. Then, the first sliding element is rotated by 180 ° about the linear guide axis L1 (or a longitudinal axis G, as shown in FIG 10 is shown) rotated. Then the first sliding element 12 again so on the mounting frame 8th placed that previously released guide pin 56 into the threaded hole 58 can surround to the first sliding element 12 to keep. This will be the guide pins 56 not yet firmly tightened, so that the sliding element 12 is displaceable. From the synopsis of 3 and 5 it can be seen that the first sliding element 12 at least substantially rotated by 180 ° about the linear guide axis L1 on the mounting frame 8th is positioned. Because the guide bolts 56 Now back in the threaded holes 58 intervene, is also the first linear guide 14 restored. Thus, the first sliding element 12 be moved in the direction of the linear guide axis L1. By turning the first sliding element 12 and the re-releasable attachment to the mounting frame 8th is the first sliding element in the second arrangement A2, as shown in FIG 5 is shown by way of example. In this case, the first sliding element 12 between the second position P4 of the second arrangement A2, as shown in FIG 5 and the first position P3 of the second assembly A2, as exemplified in FIG 6 is shown, shifted, or in the opposite direction between the first position P3 and the second position P4 of the respective assembly A2. Like from the 6 shows, protrudes the first sliding element 12 in the first position P3 of the second arrangement A2 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 out, leaving the second, outside edge 44 of the first sliding element 12 (now) the bearing edge 18 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling forms. In other words, the device lies 2 or the mounting frame 8th with the second, outside edge 44 as the bearing edge 18 on the back side 20 the ceiling 6 on and not with the first, outside edge 16 of the first sliding element 12 ,

The first arrangement A1 of the first sliding element 12 and the second arrangement A2 of the first sliding element 12 differs in particular by the fact that now another, namely the second, outside edge 44 the bearing edge 18 forms. From the synopsis of 4 and 6 it can be seen that the distance K1 between the support edge 18 and the bottom 84 of the mounting frame 8th is smaller than the distance K2 between the support edge 18 and the bottom 84 when the first sliding element 12 in the second arrangement is A2. This is due to the fact that the first bearing edge 16 a smaller distance K2 to the linear guide axis L1 than the second support edge 44 to the same linear guide axis L1. Correspondingly, the distance K1 decreases to the distance K2, when the second, outside edge 44 the bearing edge 18 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling 6 forms. Is the first sliding element 12 So in the second arrangement A2, so can the device 2 or the mounting frame 8th also in an opening 4 the ceiling 6 be used with a lower ceiling thickness E and then by means of the first sliding element 12 at the back 20 the ceiling can be fixed without the mounting frame 8th with the bottom 84 over the bottom 22 the ceiling 6 protrudes. In other words, depending on the ceiling thickness E, the arrangement A1, A2 of the first sliding element 12 be chosen so that the bearing edge 18 like that on the back 20 the ceiling 6 comes to rest, that the bottom 84 of the mounting frame 8th and the bottom 22 the ceiling 6 are aligned with each other.

As previously explained, the other sliding elements 60 . 62 . 64 as well as the associated linear guides 66 . 68 . 70 analogous to the first sliding element 12 or the associated linear guide 14 educated. Therefore, the other sliding elements can 60 . 62 . 64 analogous to the first sliding element 12 be converted into the respective first arrangement B2, C2, D2. Therefore, apply to the other sliding elements 60 . 62 . 64 the previously discussed explanations, advantages and / or effects in an analogous manner.

In the 7 are the sliding elements 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 in a respective further arrangement, namely a respective third arrangement A3, B3, C3, D3. Purely by way of example and as a basis for understanding the other sliding elements 60 . 62 . 70 will be explained below, as the first sliding element 12 can be transferred to the third arrangement A3. The starting point is, for example, the first arrangement A1 of the first sliding element 12 as it is for example in 3 is shown. Become the guide pins here 56 from the threaded holes 58 solved, so can the first sliding element 12 be solved or separated. Then the first sliding element 12 rotated about an axis F by 180 °, wherein the axis F perpendicular to the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 is. Preferably, the axis F passes through the first sliding element. Then the first sliding element 12 again so on the mounting frame 8th arranged that the guide pins 56 with the associated external threads in the threaded holes 58 mounting. This will be the guide pins 56 not fully tightened yet, so that the first sliding element 12 along the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 is displaceable. As already from the 7 it can be seen, but now serves neither the first, outside edge 16 still the second, outside edge 44 as support edge 18 , Rather, now serves the third, outside edge 48 of the first sliding element 12 to the support edge 18 to build.

With view on 7 and 8th are the first sliding element 12 and the first linear guide 14 formed such that the first sliding element 12 instead of in the first or second arrangement A1, A2 now in the third arrangement A3 by means of the first linear guide 14 such on the mounting frame 8th mounted and releasably secured, that the first sliding element 12 in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 between a first position P5 of the third arrangement A3 and a second position P6 of the third arrangement A3 is displaceable. The second position P6 of the third arrangement A3 of the first sliding element 12 is in 7 shown. In this case, the first sliding element protrudes 12 in said second position P6 of the third arrangement A3 not above the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 out. To avoid repetition, the fourth sliding element is used 64 and the fourth linear guide 70 to the previous explanations, advantages and / or effects in a similar manner.

Thus, all sliding elements protrude 12 . 60 . 62 . 64 out 7 not over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis L1, M1, N1, O1 of their respective linear guide 14 . 66 . 68 . 70 out. The device 2 or the mounting frame 8th can thus in the opening 4 the ceiling 6 be used.

Purely by way of example is now the displacement of the first sliding element 12 be discussed. In this case, the sliding element 12 from the second position P6 of the third arrangement A3, as exemplified in FIG 7 is pushed into the first position P5 of the third arrangement A3, as shown by way of example in FIG 8th is shown. Then protrudes the first sliding element 12 in the first position P5 of the third arrangement A3 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 out, now with the second end portion 86 so that the third, outside edge 48 of the first sliding element 12 the bearing edge 18 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling forms.

The third, outside edge 48 of the first sliding element 12 is oblique to the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 aligned and / or trained. This offers the advantage that a height position of the mounting frame 8th is adjustable by the first sliding element 12 is shifted from the second position P6 of the third arrangement A3 in the direction of the first position P5 of the arrangement A3. The farther the first sliding element 12 is pushed, the further pushes the mounting frame 8th in the ceiling 6 or the associated opening 4 into it. This is particularly advantageous if the ceiling thickness E is not known in advance. In this case, the first sliding element 12 For example, be moved until the bottom 48 with the bottom 22 the ceiling 6 is arranged in alignment. In addition, local deviations from a ceiling thickness E can be compensated by means of the aforementioned procedure.

Furthermore, it is provided that the first sliding element 12 stored in a fourth arrangement A4 on the mounting frame and can be releasably attached. The first linear guide 14 is therefore for mutual storage and releasable fastening of the first sliding element 12 on the mounting frame 8th in the first arrangement A1, the second arrangement A2 or the third arrangement A1, and possibly even formed in the fourth arrangement A4. The other linear guides 66 . 68 . 70 can be designed analog. For further explanation, please refer to the 9 and 10 directed.

So it is envisaged that the first sliding element 12 and the first linear guide 14 are formed such that the first sliding element 12 instead of in the first, second or third arrangement A1, A2, A3 in a fourth arrangement A2 by means of the first linear guide 14 is mounted on the mounting frame and releasably secured such that the first sliding element 12 in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 between a first position P7 of the fourth arrangement A4 and a second position P8 of the fourth arrangement A4 is displaceable. To the first sliding element 12 into the fourth arrangement A4, the guide pins 56 from the threaded holes 58 solved, so that the first sliding element 12 from the mounting frame 8th can be separated. Then, the first sliding element - starting from the third arrangement A3 - by 180 ° about the linear guide axis L1 (or a longitudinal axis G, as shown in FIG 10 is shown) rotated. Then the first sliding element 12 again so on the mounting frame 8th placed that previously released guide pin 56 into the threaded hole 58 can surround to the first sliding element 12 to keep. This will be the guide pins 56 not yet firmly tightened, so that the sliding element 12 is displaceable. Because the guide bolts 56 Now back in the threaded holes 58 intervene, is also the first linear guide 14 restored. Thus, the first sliding element 12 be moved in the direction of the linear guide axis L1. By turning the first sliding element 12 and the re-releasable attachment to the mounting frame 8th is the first sliding element 12 in the fourth arrangement A4, as it is in 9 is shown by way of example. In this case, the first sliding element 12 between the second position P8 of the fourth arrangement A4 as shown in FIG 9 and the first position P7 of the fourth arrangement A4, as exemplified in FIG 10 is shown shifted, or in the opposite direction between the first position P7 and the second position P8. Like from the 10 shows, protrudes the first sliding element 12 in the first position P7 of the fourth arrangement A4 over the mounting frame 8th in the direction of the linear guide axis L1 of the first linear guide 14 out, again with the second end section 86 so that the fourth, outside edge 50 of the first sliding element 12 (now) the bearing edge 18 to rest on the back 20 the ceiling forms. In other words, the device lies 2 or the mounting frame 8th with the fourth, outside edge 50 as the bearing edge 18 on the back side 20 the ceiling 6 on and not with one of the other, outside edge 16 . 44 . 48 of the first sliding element 12 ,

The fourth arrangement A4 of the first sliding element 12 and the third arrangement A3 of the first sliding element 12 differs in particular in that now another, namely the fourth, outside edge 50 the bearing edge 18 forms. In this case, the fourth, outside edge 50 a smaller angle to the linear guide axis L1 than the third, outside edge 48 , Otherwise, the aforementioned advantageous embodiments, effects and advantages apply analogously.

As previously explained, the other sliding elements 60 . 62 . 64 as well as the associated linear guides 66 . 68 . 70 analogous to the first sliding element 12 or the associated linear guide 14 educated.
