Device for mechanical and electrical attachment, of wall or ceiling lamps

The invention relates to a device for mechanically and electrically attaching wall or ceiling lamps to building walls with a device provided on the wall for fixing the lamp.

Such lamps and lights are known in a large number of embodiments and are used in almost every household.

They are supported mechanically by means of dowels and screws or hooks on the wall or the ceiling, after previously the electrical connection, for example the syphilis tj * r clamping s or the like has been established. _O All such known electric lamps in common the disadvantage that the installation is cumbersome, time-consuming and especially dangerous if the work is not carried out by a specialist.

This deficiency is particularly noticeable in new buildings. The cables laid in the wall must be routed through holes to the outside, and the connections protruding from the wall are electrically insulated to avoid any risk during subsequent expansion work “These connections are not just a hazard in electrical terms, but are also a hindrance in other ways, e.g. when wallpapering or painting the wallsβ

The object of the invention is to design a device of the structure described at the beginning so that the removal of Vanabs ceiling lights can be carried out and, in particular, be carried out safely against the effects of the electric current.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the housing of the lamp has a plug electrically connected to its light source and in that the device provided on the wall is designed as a socket having the mains connections. This requires a socket at the desired location for the luminaire, but this can be easily accomplished with today's construction with prefabricated components, for example by attaching a socket ring line at the desired height in each room, with a sufficient number of sockets of flush-mounted boxes at certain intervals _o At the desired location

The location for the luminaire then needs: only one socket to be installed in the already existing flush-mounted box in order to plug in the luminaire designed according to the invention, • This makes attaching the lamps very easy for the layperson, but especially any contact with live ones Cables is blocked. These advantages are due to the dual function of the device according to the invention, namely on the one hand achieved for electrical, on the other hand for mechanical mounting.

For ceiling lights it is advisable that the The plug is fixed in the socket »The plug can be souiit be snapped into the socket, for example. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the plug and the socket on mutually corresponding guide holes for receiving fastening screws, so that the plug against untimely release from the socket is ensured.

In an expedient development of the invention, the plug a cover overlapping the socket as a protection against contact, which is also designed as a rosette and thus aesthetically satisfactory can be.

For wall lights, which are usually not from a central light switch can be controlled from, it is also provided that a pull or push switch for the lamp under the rosette is arranged "

Further details and advantages result from the following Description of a preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing. Show it:

In addition to the connector housing 7, a switch 10 is arranged over the connection cables shown in the drawing for clarity «Reasons are not shown, can be guided to switch the lamp on and off» The switch 10 is also fixed by means of a screw 11 on the bottom 9 of the cover.

The height of the side walls 6 is smaller than that of the connector housing 7 so that it protrudes over the cover 5 (Figures 2, 3) 0 If the connector head 12 with the plug contacts 13 is placed on the connector housing 7, this dimensioning ensures that can be inserted that, generally designated I ^ plug deep (not shown in the drawing) enough for a reliable electrical contact in the corresponding socket _o the plug head 12 is on the provided with a guide hole 15 connector housing 7 by means of an inside threaded into the guide hole 15 Screw fixed ο

Furthermore, instead of a two-pin connector, a multi-pin, for example three-pin connector (in addition to Protective earth connection) can be provided to create a series connection for two or more separately switchable lightbulbs to be able to make the lamp. It is of course also possible to provide a changeover circuit.
