Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for suspending and lighting objects such as, for example, paintings, tapestries, sculptures, etc., and more particularly a device of the type comprising hanging means capable of being hung on a horizontal rail and carrying electrical contact parts intended to be brought into contact with electrical conductors running along the rail, so as to ensure both the mechanical connection between the rail and an object connected to the attachment and position means adjustable in vertical direction, and the electrical connection between the rail and lighting means associated with the object.
  • hanging means capable of being hung on a horizontal rail and carrying electrical contact parts intended to be brought into contact with electrical conductors running along the rail, so as to ensure both the mechanical connection between the rail and an object connected to the attachment and position means adjustable in vertical direction, and the electrical connection between the rail and lighting means associated with the object.
  • German patent application DE-A-2 410 016 describes a device of this kind comprising two hooks fixed to the object and hanging on a rail, each hook coming into contact with a particular conductor, in the form of a bar, carried by rail.
  • An advantage of the known devices mentioned above consists in the possibility of modifying at will the location of the object suspended along the rail.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device which satisfies these requirements.
  • the rod serves as a suspension member on the rail and as an electrical connection with the conductors of the rail and the positions of the means for attaching an object and the connection module to which a lighting device can be connected are vertically adjustable along the rod.
  • the suspension and lighting device comprises a metal or plastic rail 1 intended to be fixed horizontally on a wall or above any other vertical or horizontal part.
  • the rail 1 forms a support element for one or more rods 2 of rectangular or square section, also made of metal or plastic.
  • Rail 1 ( Figures 1.3) not only forms a support structure but also an electrical distribution rail.
  • Two electrical conductors 5a, 5b are embedded in an insulating sheath 4 which extends longitudinally over the entire length of the rail at the bottom of a gutter 3 formed by the rail.
  • the conductors 5a, 5b are accessible through grooves 9a, 9b formed in the insulating sheath 4, from the upper face thereof, over the entire length of the rail.
  • the rod 2 ( Figures 1,2) is also provided over its entire length with electrical conductors 6a, 6b embedded in insulating sheaths 8a, 8b which are housed in grooves formed along the rod on two opposite faces thereof .
  • the rod 2 is electrically and mechanically connected to the rail 1 by means of a connection module 10, while a connection module 14 and a hooking piece 19 are mounted on the rod 2 to allow respectively the power supply with a lighting lamp and the hanging of an object to hang.
  • connection module 14 preferably made of plastic, has a vertical passage of cross section corresponding to that of the rod 2 so as to be able to be strung on it.
  • Horizontal passages 14a, 14b are formed in module 14 which open, at one of their ends, on two opposite sides of module 14 and, at their other ends, in the passage through the rod 2, at the insulating sheaths 8a, 8b.
  • Metal rings 15a, 15b are inserted in the two passages 14a, 14b and are locked there longitudinally, for example by overmolding of the module 14. In the rings 15a, 15b, are screwed needle-punch 16a, 16b.
  • Conductors 17a, 17b are embedded in the module 14 and connect the rings 15a, 15b to a socket formed on one side of the module 14 to allow the insertion of a socket 18 for supplying a lighting lamp (not shown).
  • connection module 14 along the rod is easily adjustable, the electrical connection with the conductors 6a, 6b of the rod being produced by perforating the insulating sheaths 8a, 8b by the points of the needle screws 16a, 16b when these are screwed into the rings 15a, 15b.
  • any other known device allowing an electrical connection on an insulated conductor may be used, for example a device of the self-stripping type.
  • the attachment part 19 is also produced so as to be able to slide along the rod 2.
  • this part 19 is in the form of a block which is provided with a hook and whose attachment to the rod is made by blocking by means of a screw, or by self-locking under the effect of the weight of the suspended object.
  • any other desired form of attachment piece can be used.
  • connection module 10 is a generally rectangular-shaped part, for example made of plastic.
  • the shape of the module 10 is chosen so that it is housed in the gutter 3 of the rail 1, above the sheath 4, being guided between vertical wings of the rail which laterally delimit the gutter 3.
  • a housing 13 is formed in the module 10 to receive the 90 ° folded end portion of the rod 2 ( Figures 1 and 5).
  • the connection module 10 is in two parts, a lower part which engages in the gutter of the rail 1 and an upper part 10a forming a cover which encloses the folded end of the rod 2.
  • contact parts 11a, 11b are inserted vertically into the connection module 10 and are pressed therein, for example by overmolding of the lower part thereof.
  • the conductors 8a, 8b of the rod 2 extend beyond the folded end of the rod 2 to be connected to the contact parts 11a, 11b, by welding or by any other suitable means.
  • the cover 10a and the lower part of the connection module 10 are shaped so as to enclose the folded end part of the rod 2, the extensions of the conductors 8a and 8b and the parts of the contact parts 11a, 11 to which these conductors are connected.
  • the connection between the cover 10a and the lower part of the module 10 is carried out by any suitable means, for example by means of screws (not shown) or by gluing.
  • the contact pieces 11a, 11b protrude at locations and over a length such that they penetrate into the grooves 9a, 9b over a distance sufficient to come into contact with the conductors 5a, 5b of the rail.
  • the electrical connection between the contact parts 11a, 11b and the respective conductors 5a, 5b is effectively ensured under the effect of the weight of the suspended object, weight transmitted to the module 10 by the rod 2, thanks to its folded end which engages in the module 10, the latter being guided vertically between the vertical wings of the rail 2 which delimit the gutter 3.
  • the rod 2 and the connection module 10 can be very easily moved along the rail 1 by simply unhooking and hanging up the rod, the hooking up allowing the mechanical connection and the electrical connection to be made simultaneously.
  • Unhooking the object suspended from the rod 2 interrupts the electrical supply to the lighting device insofar as the weight of the rod alone is insufficient to maintain the connection with the conductors of the rail.
  • This interruption can be used to produce an alarm signal by detecting the variation in electrical resistance in the load circuit supplied by the conductors 5a, 5b, as a result of the disconnection of the lighting device.
  • the variation in electrical resistance is detected by any suitable means, for example a Wheatstone bridge circuit.
  • the power supply is produced by a two-conductor circuit without earth, it is preferable to use a source of low voltage or very low voltage electrical energy.
