Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lighting fitting comprising a supporting part or coupling part and a screen part formed by a hollow length of tube having a longitudinal slot over at least part of its length surrounding a light source and being relatively adjustable and fixable in various positions about its longitudinal axis with respect to the support part, said tube having internal extensions with parts extending at least substantially parallel to the boundary wall of said tube.
  • Such a structure is known from DE-A-2.756.887.
  • said known structure have been fixed to the extension the bendover ears of a sector-shaped plate which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube.
  • a hole for accommodating a bolt which has been screwed in a threaded hole provided in the supporting part, so that the tube can be adjusted about the axis of said bolt.
  • a curved slot through which extend further bolts which have been screwed in further threaded holes in the supporting part and which are used for clamping the tube with respect to the supporting part in a desired position.
  • a disadvantage of the known structure is that there are needed many parts which make the structure complicated and expensive, whilst in view of the fact that the supporting part has to be provided with three threaded holes, said supporting part has to be relatively heavy.
  • T-section extensions having parts extending substantially parallel to the boundary wall of said supporting part, the arrangement being such that opposite parts of two adjacent T-section extensions of the supporting part and aligned parts of the extensions of the tube can be clamped tightly between clamping strips situated on both sides of and against said various parts by means of screws passed through the strips.
  • the structure according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a simple and solid connection between the supporting part and the tube, whilst the tube can be adjusted in a relatively great number of positions with respect to the supporting part.
  • Fig. 1 shows a lighting system comprising four supporting parts 1, which can be suspended to a ceiling or the like with the aid of rods 2 fastened to said supporting parts 1. Between the supporting parts are arranged screen parts 3, the ends of which are in contact with the ends of the supporting parts 1 facing the screen parts concerned.
  • Fig. 2 and 3 shows that in the embodiment shown a supporting part is formed by a round tube length having on its inner surface a plurality of T-section extensions 4 at equal intervals along the periphery.
  • the screen part 3 comprises a wall portion 5 in the form of an arc of a circle, said wall portion 5 bounding between its free ends a slot 5' extending in the direction of length of the screen part.
  • L-shaped extensions 6 extend in the direction of length of the screen part so that the limbs of the L-shaped extensions spaced apart from the wall portion are directed towards one another away from the limbs adjoining the wall portion 5.
  • two relativelyi parallel strips 9 and 10 may be used for fastening an end of a screen part 3 and an end of a supporting part 1 to one another.
  • these strips can co-operate with two T-shaped extensions 4 of a supporting part 1 so that the strip 9 is locked between the wall of the supporting part 1 and the proximal parts of two neighbouring extensions as is shown in Fig. 3, whilst with the aid of a screw 11 passed through a hole in the strip 10 and screwed into a tapped hole in the strip 9 the strip 10 is clamped with the strip 9 to the parts of T-shaped extensions 4 located between the strips 9 and 10.
  • an end of the strip 9 protruding beyond the supporting part 1 can be slipped in between the wall 5 of the screen part 3 and L-shaped parts 6 fastened to the inner side of said wall, whilst then the end of the strip 10 protruding beyond the supporting part 1 will be in contact with the sides of the proximal limbs of the L-shaped parts 6 remote from the wall 5.
  • the strips 9 and 10 will be clamped by further fastening screws 11 to the parts of the T-shaped extensions 4 and the L-shaped extensions 6 respectively located between the strips 9 and 10.
  • the screen parts accommodate light sources formed by tubular lamps 12. These lamps can be coupled with one another by means of plugs and conterplugs or be coupled with the aid of a connection member arranged in the supporting part 1.
  • Fig. 1 It is furthermore shown in Fig. 1 that by turning the screen part 3 with respect to the supporting part 1 the direction of illuminating can be set. In the arrangement of the outermost left-hand screen part shown in Fig. 1 the light is radiated downwards, where at the outermost right-hand screen part 3 the light is radiated upwards. In the arrangement shown for the middle screen part 3 the light is radiated to one side.
  • Fig. 5 shows two lighting fittings 13 and 14 comprising lengths of tube 18 and elbows 19 adjoining the former.
  • the elbows may be provided with extensions corresponding with the extensions of the first embodiment so that in the same manner as described above a screen part 20 can be arranged between the proximal ends of the elbows 19forming supporting parts. It is then again possible in a simple manner to set the screen part 20 in a desired position so that, for example, as is shown for the fitting 13 the light is radiated downwards, or, as is shown for the fitting 14, the light can be radiated to one side, for example, towards a wall.
  • the construction embodying the invention may be designed for a table lamp 21 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the table lamp comprises a corner piece 22 having internal extensions 23 corresponding with the extensions 4 (Fig. 6).
  • a screen part 26 corresponding with the screen part 3 can be fastened at the end of the corner piece with the aid of connecting strips 24 and 25, which screen part (26) can be fixed in a desired position relative to the support in order to obtain the desired direction of illumination.
