Definitions

  • the invention relates to a linear luminaire with a channel-shaped, the ballast and the socket holder including the electrical wiring in the housing, the U-shaped cross section of which is flanged in a hook shape at the free ends of its legs (hook edge), in which the on the housing bottom protruding socket holder attached on opposite sides with their sockets protrude from the housing and accommodate the fluorescent tube arranged outside the housing and in which the housing is closed on its upper side with a cover rail and on its narrow sides with adapted end pieces.
  • Linear luminaires of this type are known, for example, from references DE 29 18 443 A1 and DE-GM 72 27 87O. They are used for the interior lighting of rooms that are to be illuminated as evenly as possible and are usually attached directly to ceilings or walls. By arranging them directly one behind the other, light strips of any length can be designed with them.
  • profiled mounting rails can be provided, to which the linear luminaire and its housing are attached from below.
  • This double fastening of the mounting rail on the wall or the ceiling on the one hand and on the other hand the lamp with its housing require a considerable amount of installation time, which is particularly important when a large number of such lights are in to be assembled on a train.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a solution for a linear luminaire of the type described in the introduction, which allows very quick and easy installation with the simplest possible design, regardless of whether the linear luminaire is to be installed as a single luminaire or in a continuous row.
  • the invention is based on the finding that the fastening of the housing to a mounting rail already fastened to the ceiling or to the wall can then be restricted to a simple operation if, instead of a mounting rail, use is made of a cover in the form of a rail, which is carried out by Attaching front parts on their narrow sides is supplemented to a ceiling mounting frame, in which the housing can then be inserted from below.
  • the linear luminaire fastened to a ceiling 1 consists of a channel-shaped housing 2 with a U-cross section, two end parts 3 covering the housing on the narrow sides, in which the housing 2 is held in a latching manner, and a cover rail 4 which, together with those plugged onto its narrow sides Front parts 3 for the housing 2 forms a ceiling mounting frame.
  • the ballast (not shown in detail) and the lamp holder 5, including the electrical wiring, are accommodated in the housing 2.
  • the fluorescent tube 6 is held underneath the housing in the sockets of the socket holders 5 projecting with their sockets from the housing base 2.1.
  • FIG. 1 The partial view of one end of the linear luminaire according to FIG. 1 shown in FIG. 1 in an exploded view reveals the most important design features of the front parts 3, which are responsible for holding the housing 2 in this cover mounting frame.
  • Each end part has on its upper side on the side of the cover rail a plug-in strip 3.1 which is aligned parallel to the cover rail and is divided into two halves here by a keyhole-like shape 3.2 which can be clearly seen in FIG. 3.
  • Each of the halves of the connector strip 3.2 arranged symmetrically with respect to this shape 3.2 consists of a holding plate 3.11 and a support spar 3.12 provided underneath the holding plate at a distance from the thickness of the cover rail 4 and extending approximately over the length of the holding plate.
  • the cover rail 4 is pushed into the slot formed in this way between the support bars 3.12 and the holding plates 3.11 until it stops.
  • the cover rail 4 has a hole in the form of a keyhole 4.1, which is essentially in the shape of a keyhole 3.10 between the two halves of the plug-in strip 3.1 covers and is used to fasten the ceiling mounting frame on one side by means of a screw.
  • the fastening screws are first screwed as far as possible into the ceiling or wall, then the ceiling mounting frame is hooked into the screws and moved in the direction of the narrow side of the keyhole 4.1, and finally the fastening screws are tightened.
  • the arrangement of the fastening holes for the ceiling mounting frame in the area of the plug-in strips 3.1 also ensures that the plug-in connection of the cover rail 4 is secured in the plug-in strip 3.1 of the front part 3.
  • the holding plates 3.11 are provided with spacer bars on their top.
  • the second spacer web 3.112 is provided perpendicular to the first spacer web in the middle of the holding plate 3.11 and extends from the first spacer web to the opposite edge of the holding plate 3.11.
  • the end parts 3 have on the side of the housing side walls 3.2, which overlap in the installed state of the housing 2 in the ceiling mounting frame over the front edge of the side walls 2.2.
  • locking arms 3.3 are arranged, which extend with their free end beyond the width of the side walls 3.2 and have a wedge-shaped cross-section with an obliquely downward ramp surface 3.31.
  • the U-shaped cross section of the housing 2 is flanged to a hook edge 2.3 at the free ends of its two legs.
  • the locking arms 3.3 assigned to the locking arms 3.3 are provided, in the corresponding in the direction of the arrow when inserting the housing 2 into the ceiling mounting frame.
  • the locking process takes place as soon as the side walls with their hook edge 2.3 are pushed into the ceiling mounting frame over the run-up surfaces 3.31 up to the stop on the underside of the holding plate 3.11.
  • the latching of the latching arms 3.3 into the latching openings 2.4 is further supported by the support spars 3.12, which for this purpose have an obliquely downwardly directed stop surface 3.121 on the side of the latching arms 3.3.
  • the end parts 3 on the side of the housing 2 are each provided below a support spar 3.12 of the plug strips, specifically at the lower edge of the end part with a hanger 3.4.
  • the hangers 3.4 have a hook profile open to the near side cheek 3.2 in the manner of a clothes hook and, as indicated schematically in FIG. 4, create a one-sided suspension possibility of the housing 2 on the hook edge 2.3 on its engaging between side cheek 3.2 and hangers 3.4, as required Sidewall 2.2.
  • This hanging option facilitates in an extremely advantageous manner the electrical connections to be made during installation between the house installation and the linear light, because this allows the housing 2 to be held in advance in a position on the ceiling mounting frame in which both the space below the cover rail 4 and the interior the housing 2 remain freely accessible for this connection work 3.
  • FIG. 2 further shows, on the underside of the front parts 3 on the side of the housing 2 between the hangers 3.4, a shoulder 3.5 with a vertically downwardly oriented centering pin 3.51 is provided, which engages in a corresponding manner when the housing 2 snaps into the ceiling mounting frame Opening 2.11 engages in the housing base and also supports the latching process.
  • the end parts 3 are expediently made of a suitable Plastic made by pressing or transfer molding.
  • the proposed linear luminaire can be used in a variety of ways for the uniform illumination of interiors and is furthermore suitable for the implementation of light strips by any arrangement in series.
