Definitions
- the invention relates to a recessed ceiling luminaire with a bracket that can be received in a ceiling cavity and has at least two bracket legs connected to one another via a web-shaped head part, each of which has an outwardly expandable retaining spring that can be supported on the top of a ceiling element and adjacent to its free bracket leg ends approximately the inner circumference of a ceiling installation opening having an annular bearing flange which can be supported directly on the outside of the ceiling face, and a lamp holder fitting for a reflector lamp or for a reflectorless lamp is held between the bracket legs.
- the recessed ceiling light according to GB-A-22 30 591 has a multi-part bracket with two side parts and a yoke connecting the side parts.
- the reflector lamp of the known recessed ceiling light is supported, together with the lamp holder fitting, by means of springs in latching recesses in the side parts of the bracket.
- FR-A-11 76 345 In contrast to GB-A-2 230 591, another known recessed ceiling luminaire according to FR-A-11 76 345 has a U-shaped rigid retaining bracket, on the head part of which points towards a contact flange Lamp holder fitting is attached immediately. Meanwhile, the holding bracket according to FR-A-11 76 345 does not have any retaining springs, but rather has height-adjustable support feet connected by means of knurled nuts, which are supported laterally next to the bracket legs on top of the ceiling element.
- the retaining flange of the known recessed ceiling light represents a bent-back outer area of a sheet metal sleeve enclosing a lamp, which receives screws pointing radially outward for fastening the bracket legs by means of knurled nuts.
- the object of the invention is to create an all-glass recessed ceiling light which, despite the extensive use of the additional material glass, has a simple and also inexpensive to use, functional design .
- the entire lamp body is made of glass.
- This uniform luminaire body also forms the contact flange.
- the recessed ceiling light fixture according to the invention therefore does not have a metal flange. The latter is formed by simplifying the design from the uniform lamp body made of glass itself.
- a uniform luminaire body made of translucent material decisively influences the light impression acting on the viewer, especially since - in contrast to the prior art - in the recessed luminaire according to the invention, metal components take a back seat, the functions of which largely differ from the translucent material existing luminaire body are taken over.
- the reflector is either attached to the contact flange by means of a snap ring or it lies on the inside on the end face of a collar-shaped attachment of a perforated disk-like glass body.
- the lampholder fitting is fastened to the web-shaped head part of the holding bracket in a safe and technically advantageous manner. Because in both of the known recessed luminaires described above, the lamp is only attached via the reflector, the known recessed luminaires are only suitable for halogen reflector lamps. In the recessed luminaire according to the invention, however, halogen reflector lamps and reflectorless lamps can be used as an alternative, since they are held by means of the lampholder (lamp base) on the head part of the holding bracket.
- an advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the circular cylindrical hollow body receives the lamp held by the lamp holder fitting or its reflector with a free clearance on all sides.
- the reflectorless lamp or the lamp provided with a reflector therefore dips to a certain extent into the circular-cylindrical glass hollow body with all-round spacing, as a result of which advantageous thermal insulation with respect to the ceiling installation field is achieved.
- the bracket is made of resilient material, in particular spring steel. In this way, a simple spring lock with the cylindrical glass body is guaranteed.
- the recessed luminaire according to the invention can be used wherever a recessed cavity is available, that is to say also in rising walls.
- the retaining springs can be replaced by appropriate equivalent retaining means, such as, for example, swivel bodies, screws, friction elements or the like.
- a recessed ceiling light is generally designated by the reference number 10.
- the recessed ceiling light 10 has a retaining bracket 11 made entirely of spring steel, which has a bracket web 12 as the head part, which connects two bracket legs 13 projecting downwards at right angles from it.
- the bracket legs 13 can be pivoted away from one another in a resilient manner in the direction of the arrows labeled a and b.
- two latching tongues 15 are cut out approximately like a window from the temple limbs 13, which only through a straight line-like edge region over a tongue root 16 is integrally connected to the respective stirrup leg 13.
- Each free end of a latching tongue 15 is delimited by a latching edge 17 parallel to the tongue root 16.
- the latching tongues 16 are each angled inward, ie always pointing to the other bracket leg 13.
- a retaining spring 18 provided with two legs 19, 20 is pivotably articulated via spring eyes 21 to axially stub-like extensions 22 cut free within the bracket legs 13 in the plane of the drawing according to FIG. 1.
- the bracket 11, which as a further essential component of the recessed luminaire 10 carries a uniform luminaire body 23, can be inserted together with the latter in the mounting direction y into a circular ceiling installation opening 24 of a plate-like ceiling element 25 in the ceiling cavity 40.
- the visible surface of the ceiling element 25 is designated by 26, while the upper back surface of the ceiling element 25 is designated by 27.
- the one-piece, integrally cohesive luminaire body 23 has an annular bearing flange, designated overall by 29, whose bearing surface, which is supported on the face surface 26, is designated by 30. Uniform and cohesive is followed by an essentially circular-cylindrical hollow body 31 on the bearing flange 30, which carries latching projections 33 formed on its outer lateral surface 32, each of which has an approximately inclined ramp-like sliding surface 34, to which an inwardly directed latching surface 35 adjoins.
- the latching surfaces 35 are positively engaged or gripped by the latching edges 17 of the latching tongues 15.
- the hanger web 12 carries in a hanging arrangement a socket fitting (base) 36, which carries a low-voltage halogen reflector lamp (e.g. with the short name QR 38; 12-volt operating voltage, 15 watts of power, base B 15 D).
- the lamp is generally designated 37, while the reflector bears the reference number 38.
- Fig. 1 From Fig. 1 it can be clearly seen that the reflector 38 is arranged at all sides distance s to the inner wall surface 39 of the circular cylindrical hollow body 31. In this way, there is an excellent thermal insulation between the heating reflector 38 and the built-in parts located in the ceiling cavity 40.
- the contact flange 29 can either carry a loosely placed diffuser 42 of circular basic shape on an annular inner projection 41, or the inner projection 41 in Be continued in the form of an integrally integrally connected cover plate 43.
- the contact flange 29 can produce an appealing lighting effect due to its approximately prismatic cross section.
- a bracket leg 13 with its latching tongue 15 can be moved into engagement with a latching surface 35 of a latching projection 33.
- the width c of the bow leg 13 made of flat material corresponds approximately to the inside width 1 of two spaced-apart axial guide ribs 44, which extend parallel to the surface line of the outer surface 32.
- the ribs 44 can receive the bracket leg 13 between them during the insertion movement in the direction x until the tongue-side latching edge 17 engages behind the latching surface 35 of the lamp-side latching projection 33.
- the disks 42 or 43 can be completely omitted in certain applications, so that the lamp 37 emits a large part of the luminous flux directly through the light exit opening 47.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Deckeneinbauleuchte mit einem in einem Deckenhohlraum aufnehmbaren Haltebügel, der mindestens zwei über ein stegförmiges Kopfteil miteinander verbundene Bügelschenkel aufweist, die jeweils eine nach außen spreizbare, oberseitig auf einem Deckenelement abstützbare Haltefeder und benachbart zu ihren freien Bügelschenkelenden einen etwa den Innenumfang einer Deckeneinbauöffnung aufweisenden, außen unmittelbar auf der Deckenansichtsfläche abstützbaren kreisringförmigen Anlageflansch tragen und wobei zwischen den Bügelschenkeln eine Lampenfassungsarmatur für eine Reflektorlampe oder für eine reflektorlose Lampe gehalten ist.The invention relates to a recessed ceiling luminaire with a bracket that can be received in a ceiling cavity and has at least two bracket legs connected to one another via a web-shaped head part, each of which has an outwardly expandable retaining spring that can be supported on the top of a ceiling element and adjacent to its free bracket leg ends approximately the inner circumference of a ceiling installation opening having an annular bearing flange which can be supported directly on the outside of the ceiling face, and a lamp holder fitting for a reflector lamp or for a reflectorless lamp is held between the bracket legs.
Eine derartige Deckeneinbauleuchte ist in der GB-A-2 230 591 beschrieben.Such a recessed ceiling light is described in GB-A-2 230 591.
Die Deckeneinbauleuchte gemäß GB-A- 22 30 591 weist einen mehrteiligen Haltebügel mit zwei Seitenteilen und einem die Seitenteile miteinander verbindenden Joch auf. Die Reflektorlampe der bekannten Deckeneinbauleuchte stützt sich zusammen mit der Lampenfassungsarmatur höhenverschieblich mittels Federn in Rastausnehmungen der Seitenteile des Haltbügels ab.The recessed ceiling light according to GB-
Im Unterschied zur GB-A-2 230 591 weist eine andere bekannte Deckeneinbauleuchte gemäß der FR-A-11 76 345 einen U-förmigen starren Haltebügel auf, an dessen Kopfteil eine zu einem Anlageflansch weisende Lampenfassungsarmatur unmittelbar befestigt ist. Indessen verfügt der Haltebügel gemäß der FR-A-11 76 345 über keine Haltefedern sondern über mittels Rändelmuttern angeschlossene höhenverstellbare Stützfüße, welche sich seitlich neben den Bügelschenkeln oben auf dem Deckenelement abstützen. Der Halteflansch der bekannten Deckeneinbauleuchte stellt einen zurückgebogenen äußeren Bereich einer eine Lampe umschließenden Blechmuffe dar, die radial nach außen weisende Schrauben zur Befestigung der Bügelschenkel mittels Rändelmuttern aufnimmt.In contrast to GB-A-2 230 591, another known recessed ceiling luminaire according to FR-A-11 76 345 has a U-shaped rigid retaining bracket, on the head part of which points towards a contact flange Lamp holder fitting is attached immediately. Meanwhile, the holding bracket according to FR-A-11 76 345 does not have any retaining springs, but rather has height-adjustable support feet connected by means of knurled nuts, which are supported laterally next to the bracket legs on top of the ceiling element. The retaining flange of the known recessed ceiling light represents a bent-back outer area of a sheet metal sleeve enclosing a lamp, which receives screws pointing radially outward for fastening the bracket legs by means of knurled nuts.
Ausgehend von der Deckeneinbauleuchte gemäß GB-A-2 230 591, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ganzglas-Deckeneinbauleuchte zu schaffen, die trotz weitestgehender Verwendung des eine zusätzliche Lichtwirkung hervorrufenden Werkstoffs Glas, eine einfache und zudem günstig zu handhabende, funktionstüchtige Bauform aufweist.Starting from the recessed ceiling light according to GB-A-2 230 591, the object of the invention is to create an all-glass recessed ceiling light which, despite the extensive use of the additional material glass, has a simple and also inexpensive to use, functional design .
Entsprechend der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of patent claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß besteht der gesamte Leuchtenkörper aus Glas. Dieser einheitliche Leuchtenkörper bildet zugleich den Anlageflansch. Im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik weist daher die erfindungsgemäße Deckeneinbauleuchte keinen aus Metall bestehenden Anlageflansch auf. Und zwar ist letzterer bei Vereinfachung der Bauform von dem aus Glas bestehenden einheitlichen Leuchtenkörper selbst gebildet.According to the invention, the entire lamp body is made of glass. This uniform luminaire body also forms the contact flange. In contrast to the prior art, the recessed ceiling light fixture according to the invention therefore does not have a metal flange. The latter is formed by simplifying the design from the uniform lamp body made of glass itself.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauleuchte prägt daher ein aus durchscheinendem Werkstoff bestehender einheitlicher Leuchtenkörper den auf den Betrachter wirkenden Lichteindruck entscheidend mit, zumal - im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik - bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauleuchte metallene Bauteile in den Hintergrund treten, deren Funktionen weitestgehend von dem aus durchscheinendem Werkstoff bestehenden Leuchtenkörper übernommen sind.In the recessed luminaire according to the invention, therefore, a uniform luminaire body made of translucent material decisively influences the light impression acting on the viewer, especially since - in contrast to the prior art - in the recessed luminaire according to the invention, metal components take a back seat, the functions of which largely differ from the translucent material existing luminaire body are taken over.
Bei den geschilderten bekannten Deckeneinbauleuchten ist der Reflektor entweder mittels eines Sprengringes am Anlageflansch befestigt oder er liegt innen stirnseitig auf einem bundförmigen Ansatz eines lochscheibenartigen Glaskörpers auf. Im Unterschied zum Bekannten ist aber bei der erfindungsgemäßen Deckeneinbauleuchte die Fassungsarmatur in sicherer und handhabungstechnisch günstiger Weise am stegförmigen Kopfteil des Haltebügels befestigt. Weil bei beiden vorbeschriebenen bekannten Einbauleuchten die Lampenbefestigung nur über den Reflektor erfolgt, sind die bekannten Einbauleuchten nur für Halogenreflektorlampen geeignet. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauleuchte können jedoch Halogenreflektorlampen und reflektorlose Lampen alternativ eingesetzt werden, da deren Halterung über die Fassungsarmatur (Lampensockel) am Kopfteil des Haltebügels erfolgt.In the known ceiling recessed luminaires described, the reflector is either attached to the contact flange by means of a snap ring or it lies on the inside on the end face of a collar-shaped attachment of a perforated disk-like glass body. In contrast to the known, however, in the recessed ceiling light according to the invention, the lampholder fitting is fastened to the web-shaped head part of the holding bracket in a safe and technically advantageous manner. Because in both of the known recessed luminaires described above, the lamp is only attached via the reflector, the known recessed luminaires are only suitable for halogen reflector lamps. In the recessed luminaire according to the invention, however, halogen reflector lamps and reflectorless lamps can be used as an alternative, since they are held by means of the lampholder (lamp base) on the head part of the holding bracket.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der kreiszylindrische Hohlkörper die von der Lampenfassungsarmatur gehaltene Lampe oder deren Reflektor mit allseitigem freien Abstand aufnimmt. Die reflektorlose Lampe bzw. die mit einem Reflektor versehene Lampe taucht demnach gewissermaßen mit allseitigem Abstand in den kreiszylindrischen gläsernen Hohlkörper ein, wodurch eine vorteilhafte thermische Isolation gegenüber dem Deckeneinbaufeld erzielt wird.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the circular cylindrical hollow body receives the lamp held by the lamp holder fitting or its reflector with a free clearance on all sides. The reflectorless lamp or the lamp provided with a reflector therefore dips to a certain extent into the circular-cylindrical glass hollow body with all-round spacing, as a result of which advantageous thermal insulation with respect to the ceiling installation field is achieved.
Im Unterschied zur eingangs beschriebenen vorbekannten Deckenleuchte dieser Gattung besteht bei der erfindungsgemäßen Deckeineinbauleuchte der Haltebügel aus federndem Werkstoff, insbesondere aus Federstahl. Auf diese Weise ist eine einfach bauende Federverrastung mit dem zylindrischen Glaskörper gewährleistet.In contrast to the known ceiling light of this type described at the outset, in the recessed ceiling light according to the invention the bracket is made of resilient material, in particular spring steel. In this way, a simple spring lock with the cylindrical glass body is guaranteed.
Selbstverständlich ist die erfindungsgemäße Einbauleuchte überall dort - also auch in aufgehenden Wänden - einsetzbar, wo ein Einbau-Hohlraum zur Verfügung steht. Die Haltefedern können dabei - je nach Anwendungsfall - durch zweckentsprechende äquivalente Haltemittel, wie z.B. Schwenkkörper, Schrauben, Friktionselemente od.dgl., ersetzt sein.Of course, the recessed luminaire according to the invention can be used wherever a recessed cavity is available, that is to say also in rising walls. Depending on the application, the retaining springs can be replaced by appropriate equivalent retaining means, such as, for example, swivel bodies, screws, friction elements or the like.
Weitere Erfindungsmerkmale ergeben sich aus zusätzlichen Unteransprüchen.Further features of the invention result from additional subclaims.
