Un conducteur électrique susceptible d'être fixé à une paroi et/ou à un plafond permet d'alimenter des consommateurs de courant dans le domaine des basses tensions. Les conducteurs (10 et 11) ont la forme de plaques, de feuilles ou de tresses en un matériau conducteur. Des pièces d'écartement (12) espacées ou une couche isolante continue sont agencées entre les conducteurs. Les conducteurs (10, 11) et le matériau isolant intermédiaire sont composés d'un matériau qui peut être percé par des fiches ou qui est pourvu d'orifices espacés (13) d'insertion de fiches.An electrical conductor capable of being fixed to a wall and / or to a ceiling makes it possible to supply current consumers in the field of low voltages. The conductors (10 and 11) are in the form of plates, sheets or braids of a conductive material. Spaced apart pieces (12) or a continuous insulating layer are arranged between the conductors. The conductors (10, 11) and the intermediate insulating material are composed of a material which can be pierced by plugs or which is provided with spaced holes (13) for inserting plugs.

Description

Stromleiter Conductor
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen an einer Wand und/oder Decke befestigbaren Stromleiter zur Speisung von Stromver¬ brauchern im Niedervoltbereich und dgl., insbesondere Nie¬ dervolt-Lampen.The invention relates to a current conductor which can be fastened to a wall and / or ceiling for supplying current consumers in the low-voltage range and the like, in particular low-voltage lamps.
Es sind Stromleiterschienen bekannt, die so ausgestaltet sind, daß man mit Hilfe einer Steckvorrichtung elektrische Kontakte für die Hin- und Rückleitung zu einer Lampe bilden kann. Dadurch ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, die Lampe an die¬ jenige Stelle der Schiene zu bringen, die für den vorgese¬ henen Zweck am besten geeignet ist. Nachteilig bei diesen Systemen ist, daß der Ort der Lampe nur längs der Schienen verändert werden kann. Um den Ort einer Lampe innerhalb eines Raumes über den Be¬ reich einer Schiene hinaus zu erweitern, kann man natürlich mehrere Schienen nebeneinander setzen, dies wird jedoch ei¬ nerseits aus ästhetischen Gründen oft nicht erwünscht, hinzu kommt der Nachteil, daß eben alle diese räumlich nebeneinan¬ der angeordneten Schienen elektrisch angeschlossen und ge¬ speist werden müssen, was mit einem erheblichen Installa¬ tionsaufwand verbunden ist.Current conductor rails are known which are designed in such a way that electrical contacts for the forward and return line to a lamp can be formed with the aid of a plug-in device. This enables the lamp to be brought to the position on the rail which is best suited for the intended purpose. A disadvantage of these systems is that the location of the lamp can only be changed along the rails. In order to extend the location of a lamp within a room beyond the area of a rail, one can of course place several rails next to one another, but this is often not desired on the one hand for aesthetic reasons, and there is also the disadvantage that all of these are spatially next to each other arranged rails must be electrically connected and fed, which is associated with a considerable installation effort.
Die Erfindung befaßt sich mit dem Problem, einen Stromleiter der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß ein elek¬ trischer Verbraucher über einen relativ großen räumlichen Bereich elektrisch angeschlossen werden kann. Insbesondere ist daran gedacht, eine Niedervoltlampe von der Decke her zu speisen, wobei der Ort der Niedervoltlampe über den gesamten Bereich der Decke frei wählbar ist.The invention is concerned with the problem of designing a current conductor of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that an electrical consumer can be electrically connected over a relatively large spatial area. In particular, it is contemplated to feed a low-voltage lamp from the ceiling, the location of the low-voltage lamp being freely selectable over the entire area of the ceiling.
Erreicht wird dies durch die in dem Patentanspruch angege¬ benen Merkmale.This is achieved by the features specified in the patent claim.
Das Wesen der vorliegenden Erfindung beruht darin, daß zwei Leiter eines Zweiphasensystems beispielsweise so ausgebildet werden, daß sie die Gesamtheit einer Decke oder einer Wand mit Isolierabstand zueinander überdecken. In der üblichen Art und Weise erhalten die beiden Leiter ihre elektrische Einspeisung. Nunmehr ist man in der Lage, mit Hilfe von Steckern elektrische Verbindungen zu den Platten herzustel¬ len, und dies an derjenigen Stelle, die für den vorgesehenen Einsatzzweck des Verbrauchers am günstigsten sind.The essence of the present invention resides in the fact that two conductors of a two-phase system are formed, for example, in such a way that they cover the entirety of a ceiling or a wall with an insulating distance from one another. In the usual way, the two conductors receive their electrical feed. Now it is possible to make electrical connections to the plates with the aid of plugs, and this at the point which is the cheapest for the intended purpose of the consumer.
Bei einer Ausführungsform ist an zwei oder mehr Alu¬ miniumplatten gedacht, die in einem Isolierabstand zueinan¬ der beispielsweise an einer Wand befestigt werden. Es liegt auf der Hand, daß die Platten gemäß der Erfindung nicht eben ausgebildet sein müssen, sie können irgendwelche räumlichen Flächen haben. Von den Leiterplatten ist mindestens eine mit einer Vielzahl von Durchstecköffnungen ausgebildet oder es werden an ungelochten Platten an gewünschten Stellen Boh¬ rungen eingebracht, so daß mit Hilfe eines einzigen Steckers oder mit Hilfe von zwei Steckern die elektrischen Verbindun¬ gen zum Verbraucher hergestellt werden können. Beispiels¬ weise könnten zwei Arten von Steckern eingesetzt werden. Der eine stellt die Verbindung zur ersten Platte her und hat eine relativ kurze Abmessung. Der andere hat eine längere Abmessung, wobei ein Isolierteil durch die Löcher der einen Platte hindurchgeht und die elektrische Verbindung mit der anderen Platte hergestellt wird. Denkbar sind auch Steckver¬ bindungen, die gleichzeitig beide Platten elektrisch an¬ schließen und auch für den ausreichenden mechanischen Halt des Verbrauchers selbst sorgen.In one embodiment, two or more aluminum plates are envisaged, which are fixed at an insulation distance from one another, for example on a wall. It is obvious that the plates according to the invention do not have to be flat, they can be any spatial Have areas. At least one of the printed circuit boards is designed with a multiplicity of through-openings or bores are made at desired locations on non-perforated boards, so that the electrical connections to the consumer can be made with the aid of a single plug or with the aid of two plugs. For example, two types of plugs could be used. One establishes the connection to the first plate and has a relatively short dimension. The other has a longer dimension, with an insulating part passing through the holes in one plate and establishing the electrical connection with the other plate. Plug connections are also conceivable, which simultaneously connect both plates electrically and also ensure sufficient mechanical support for the consumer himself.
Es liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, die beiden Leiter als Drahtgeflecht auszubilden und mittels eines geeigneten Kunststoffs gegeneinander und nach außen zu isolieren. Bei einer solchen Ausführungsform kann man einfach durch Hin¬ durchstecken eines geeigneten Steckers die elektrische Ver¬ bindung mit dem gewünschten Leitergeflecht herstellen.It is within the scope of the invention to design the two conductors as a wire mesh and to insulate them from one another and from the outside by means of a suitable plastic. In such an embodiment, the electrical connection to the desired conductor braid can be made simply by inserting a suitable plug.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung bei¬ spielsweise erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example.
Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt eine schaubildliche Teilansicht eines Stromleiters gemäß der Erfindung.The single figure of the drawing shows a diagrammatic partial view of a current conductor according to the invention.
Mit 10 ist eine Platte aus leitendem Material gezeigt, wel¬ che über Abstandhalter 12 mit einer weiteren Platte 11 elek¬ trisch isolierend verbunden ist. Die Platte 11 ist mit einer Mehrzahl von Durchstecköf nungen 13 versehen, die eine ge¬ eignete Abmessung haben, so daß Stecker durch diese Öffnun¬ gen hindurchgeführt werden,, um entweder eine elektrische Verbindung mit dem Leiter 11 oder dem Leiter 10 herzustel¬ len.10 shows a plate made of conductive material, which is connected in an electrically insulating manner to a further plate 11 via spacers 12. The plate 11 is provided with a plurality of push-through openings 13 which have a suitable dimension, so that plugs are passed through these openings in order to either have an electrical one To establish connection with the conductor 11 or the conductor 10.
Nicht gezeigt in der Figur sind die elektrischen Einspeisun¬ gen für die Leiter 10 und 11, diese können in der üblichen Art und Weise erstellt werden. The electrical feeds for the conductors 10 and 11 are not shown in the figure; these can be produced in the usual manner.
