DE3012543A1 - Support for multiple suspended lamps - has moulded body incorporating supply wire sockets, contact blades and suspension hooks - Google Patents

Abstract

The suspension member to allow multiple sets of lamps to be quickly attached to an overhead supply system has a plastics body (6) with a loop (1) at the top for fitting onto a supporting rod at attachment by an alternative system. At one side is a row of sockets (2) into which the electric supply wires can be inserted without using a special tool. A horizontal surface (4) has a boss with contact blades (3) protruding from it for a conductor rail. This horizontal surface rests on the conductor rail. The body terminates at the bottom in a hook (5) from which a lamp can be suspended. These members are all moulded into the material of the body.

Description

Luminaire connection suspension hook for light rail

The suspension and lighting of mostly pendant lights for the purpose The display happens very differently and individually in practice.

So usually steel pipes or welded wire mesh to a certain extent Distance to the ceiling on which the lighting fixtures will later be hung, mounted horizontally to the ceiling.

Over these constructions there were connection possibilities with luster terminals provided cables, sockets in any number or socket strips installed.

The lamp to be suspended comes with a self-made or commercially available S-Maken hung on their hanger and by hand using a ladder or with the help of a rod, at the end of which there is also a hook for hanging is in the S-hook, hooked into the suspension structure.

Now to connect this lamp electrically and to illuminate it, cannot be done without a ladder or other scaffolding, as the luminaire on the ceiling and thus the prepared ones outside of the hand area Connections must be connected. This is time consuming and cumbersome, especially since the Luminaires usually hang close to each other. So to the terminals or Getting to power sockets takes almost acrobatic skills.

For re-hanging the previously suspended and connected luminaire this cumbersome procedure must be repeated in reverse order.

The aim of the present invention is to eliminate this cumbersome Expenditure of hanging up and electrical connection of lights for exhibition purposes to simplify significantly in order to avoid unnecessary expenditure of time and effort. This is achieved by a new type of lamp connection suspension hook. With him So is the suspension and especially the electrical connection of lighting fixtures in lighting salesrooms, exhibition halls, shop windows, etc. simplified and significantly accelerated. On the auxiliary equipment otherwise required, such as ladders or Assembly scaffolding can be dispensed with entirely.

Suspended from the hook according to the invention and connected to it, the luminaires can be easily moved from the floor to a ceiling-mounted one and hang in a power supply rail system that can be expanded as required.

The lamp connected to this lamp connection suspension hook becomes after the luminaire connection suspension hook has been slid into the power supply support rail system automatically supplied with mains voltage and is therefore illuminated.

A power supply support rail is one used in lighting technology Carrying and power supply rails have been in use for a long time and are known under the name Lichtschiene for spotlights.

Deviating from the usual, the light rail is included in this case their opening upwards and just below the ceiling. Assembled into grids you get an arbitrarily expandable power supply support rail system for Suspension and power supply of the lamp connection suspension hook according to the invention, whose Features are characterized in more detail in the claims.

The construction of the lamp connection hanger is shown in the attached Drawings to which reference is made in the following description in detail is shown.

They show: FIG. 1 the side view. FIG. 2 the broad side of the lamp connection suspension hook from the front Fig. 3 The broad side from behind At the upper end of the lamp attachment hook there is an opening (1) for adding and removing in / from the carrying system, for example with the help of a transport rod, at the upper end of which there is a transport hook, which picks up the lamp connection suspension hook. On the broad side in the lower third there is a plug-in terminal strip (2) for connecting the lamp connection wires. At least 4 plug-in connection terminals are provided, one for each Protective conductor, for the neutral conductor and for two phases, depending on the choice of the lamp to be able to connect in series. Opposite and approximately in the middle of the lamp connection suspension hook are those used to draw current, pointing vertically downwards and resilient Blade contacts (3) arranged. This part represents an adapter that can be procured in this way is that it fits exactly into the power supply support rail, which is mounted below the ceiling and is open at the top due to its own weight and the lighting fixture attached to it, it is properly introduced. Through this the blade contacts are placed on the power supply rail recessed conductor pressed. The flat support edge (4) of the adapter lies while doing so, on the flat surface of the power supply support rail on.

From the underside and exactly in the middle of the lamp connection suspension hook is an open hook (5) that is pulled down, e.g. one covered with plastic netallhaken, led out. This is where the. To be assembled and connected The lamp is hooked into its suspension nipple.

Lifting eye (1), plug-in terminal strip (2), blade contacts (3), hook (5), as well as the electrical connection line between blade contacts and terminal strip are cast in a stable insulating plastic body (6). This results in a compact, handy unit for which the present patent application the designation lamp connection suspension hook is used.

The advantages of using this lamp connection suspension hook consist in the fact that the lamp to be mounted and illuminated in the hand area, i.e. on the floor or a table, can be connected ready-made, and that you don't need ladders or other scaffolding for suspension.

The connection wires present on each lamp are simple and without the use of tools in the hanging hook on the lamp connection Push-in terminals (2) pushed in.

Then the lamp is attached to its existing nipple in the hooks protruding ma.n (5) at the bottom of the luminaire connection suspension hook.

Now a transport hook, which is e.g. at the upper end of an approx. 2 meter long rod is in the e.g. oval opening (1) of the lamp connection suspension hook guided. The lamp connection suspension hook together with the attached The lamp is lifted upwards while hanging from this rod and into the one just below the ceiling-present, open-top power supply support rail system on its adapter part (3), (4) attached. The blade contacts (3) are automatically moved downwards pressed onto the power rails of the power supply support rail system.

The flat edge of the adapter (4) lies snugly on top of it as well plan on power supply support rail. Once hooked in, the luminaire connection suspension hook can be used Never slide out of the power supply support rail because the adapter center and attached Luminaires run in a perpendicular axis to each other. If necessary, however, can the lamp connection suspension hook with attached lamp on the power supply support rail at any time can be pushed back and forth with the help of the suspension rod. As power supply rails For example, the rails of the Erco Minispot system (No. 0955-0958) are suitable With this luminaire connection suspension hook, luminaires can be used for exhibition purposes Quickly and safely hung up, illuminated, even at a short distance from one another and be taken down again.
