For this purpose, the support plate (8) grips from below with its side parts (81) on the free ends of the upper rail parts (2) of the support rails (1) lugs (24) with a head-like profile, and in order to clamp the support plate (8) against these lugs (24) makes use of clamping elements (9) which are mounted on the underside of the side parts (81) with the aid of at least one locking screw (10) and engage with their edges which project out over the side parts (81) in longitudinal plug-in slots (26) of the near upper rail parts (2). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein modulares Leuchtensystem für Innenräume, bestehend aus zwei, ein einseitig offenes Hohlprofil aufweisenden sowie obere und untere Seitenteile umfassenden Tragschienen beliebiger Länge, die - mit ihren Öffnungen einander gegenüberliegend - parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Ein oder mehrere Modulbausteine sind in ihren Zwischenraum angeordnet und sind mit den Tragschienen zu Einzelleuchten oder einem durchgehenden Schienenstrangkörper mit hierin integrierten Leuchten, Strahlern und gegebenenfalls sonstigen elektrischen oder mechanischen Baugruppen gestaltet. Dabei weisen die Modulbausteine jeweils eine Tragplatte mit Seitenteilen auf, die an den freien Enden der oberen Schienenteile der Tragschienen vorgesehene, im Profil kopfartig ausgebildete Ansätze hintergreifen.The invention relates to a modular lighting system for interiors, consisting of two, one-sided open hollow profile and upper and lower side parts comprising mounting rails of any length, which - with their openings opposite one another - are arranged parallel to each other. One or more module modules are arranged in their intermediate space and are designed with the mounting rails to form individual lights or a continuous rail track body with lights, spotlights and any other electrical or mechanical assemblies integrated therein. The module components each have a support plate with side parts which engage behind the profile-like projections on the free ends of the upper rail parts of the support rails.

Bei einem solchen in der älteren europäischen Patentanmeldung, veröffentlicht als EP-A1-0 469 179, vorgeschlagenen Leuchtensystem werden die Modulbausteine, die an ihrer Oberseite zur Aufnahme und Halterung der Modulbauteile eine Trägerplatte aufweisen, als Baueinheit von unten zwischen die beiden Tragschienen eingeschoben und über die Seitenteile der Tragplatte an den freien Enden der oberen Schienenteile der Tragschienen befestigt. Auf diese Weise wird zugleich eine in sich starre, tragende Verbindung zwischen den beiden Tragschienen hergestellt.In such a lighting system proposed in the older European patent application, published as EP-A1-0 469 179, the module modules, which have a carrier plate on their top side for receiving and holding the module components, are inserted as a unit from below between the two mounting rails and over the side parts of the support plate attached to the free ends of the upper rail parts of the support rails. In this way, a rigid, load-bearing connection between the two mounting rails is established.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, in Weiterbildung des vorstehend beschriebenen modularen Leuchtensystems durch geeignete Gestaltung der Tragplatten der Modulbausteine einerseits und der freien Enden der oberen Schienenteile der Tragschienen andererseits sowie durch die Wahl der Befestigungsmittel für die Verbindung der Tragplatte der Modulbausteine mit den Tragschienen eine schnelle und einfache Montage sicherzustellen.The invention has for its object, in a development of the modular lighting system described above by suitable design of the support plates of the module blocks on the one hand and the free ends of the upper rail parts of the Support rails on the other hand and by the choice of fasteners for connecting the support plate of the module blocks to the mounting rails to ensure a quick and easy installation.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features specified in claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes nach Anspruch 1 sind in den weiteren Patentansprüchen 2 bis 5 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the subject matter according to claim 1 are specified in the further claims 2 to 5.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, dabei zeigt:

  • Figur 1 den Querschnitt eines modularen Leuchtensystems mit einer die oberen Schienenteile miteinander verbindenden Tragplatte und einem die unteren Schienenteile miteinander verbindenden Abdeckglas,
  • Figur 2 das modulare Leuchtensystem nach Figur 1 ohne Abdeckglas in Explosionsdarstellung.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which:
  • 1 shows the cross section of a modular lighting system with a support plate connecting the upper rail parts and a cover glass connecting the lower rail parts,
  • Figure 2 shows the modular lighting system according to Figure 1 without a cover glass in an exploded view.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen die beiden zueinander parallelen Tragschienen 1, in die von unten in den Zwischenraum Modulbaugruppen einsetzbar sind. Die Modulbaugruppen haben an der Oberseite eine Tragplatte 8, die der Aufnahme und Halterung der Modulbauteile dient. In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit auf die Darstellung der Modulbauteile verzichtet. Hier wird also der Modulbaustein ausschließlich durch seine Tragplatte repräsentiert. Sobald ein solcher Modulbaustein von unten in den Zwischenraum zwischen die beiden Tragschienen 1 eingesetzt und an den freien Enden der oberen Schienenteile 2 der Tragschienen 1 befestigt ist, kann, sofern dies für einen solchen Modulbaustein vorgesehen ist, die untere Öffnung des Zwischenraums zwischen den Tragschienen 1 durch ein Abdeckglas 7 verschlossen sein.Figures 1 and 2 show the two mutually parallel support rails 1, in which module assemblies can be inserted from below into the space. The module assemblies have a support plate 8 on the top, which serves to hold and hold the module components. For the sake of clarity, FIGS. 1 and 2 do not show the module components. So here the module component is represented exclusively by its support plate. As soon as such a module block is inserted from below into the space between the two mounting rails 1 and fastened to the free ends of the upper rail parts 2 of the mounting rails 1, the lower opening of the space between the mounting rails 1 can be provided, if this is provided for such a module block be closed by a cover glass 7.

Die zueinander parallelen, mit ihren Öffnungen gegeneinander ausgerichteten Tragschienen 1, weisen ein in erster Näherung V-artiges Hohlprofil mit einem oberen Schienenteil 2 und einem unteren Schienenteil 3 auf, die miteinander durch eine Querwand 4 verbunden sind. Durch die Querwand 4 wird das Querschnittsprofil der Tragschienen 1 in eine große, einseitig offene Aufnahmekammer 5 sowie eine kleine Aufnahmekammer 6 unterteilt. Im Bereich der kleinen Aufnahmekammer 6 ist das obere Schienenteil 2 zu einem Deckel 21 gestaltet. Die Aufnahmekammern 5 und 6 dienen der Aufnahme von elektrischen Bauteilen und/oder Leitungen. Zur Halterung des Abdeckglases 7 bzw. anderer mechanischer Verbindungselemente weisen die unteren Schienenteile 3 der Tragschienen 1 an den freien Enden Kopfstege 31 auf. Beim Abdeckglas in Figur 1 greifen diese Kopfstege 31 in nicht näher bezeichnete Hinterschneidungen der auf der Innenseite des Abdeckglases 7 vorgesehenen Federleisten 71 ein.The mutually parallel support rails 1, which are aligned with one another with their openings, have a V-like hollow profile with an upper rail part 2 and a lower rail part 3, which are connected to one another by a transverse wall 4. Through the transverse wall 4, the cross-sectional profile of the mounting rails 1 is divided into a large, one-sided open receiving chamber 5 and a small receiving chamber 6. In the area of the small receiving chamber 6, the upper rail part 2 is designed to form a cover 21. The receiving chambers 5 and 6 serve to receive electrical components and / or lines. To hold the cover glass 7 or other mechanical connecting elements, the lower rail parts 3 of the mounting rails 1 have head webs 31 at the free ends. In the cover glass in FIG. 1, these head webs 31 engage in undercuts (not specified in any more detail) of the spring strips 71 provided on the inside of the cover glass 7.

Das obere Schienenteil 2 der Tragschienen 1 weist auf seiten der großen Aufnahmekammer 5 in unmittelbarer Nähe seines freien Endes eine dem Eingriff von Halterungen dienende, nach außen offene Ankernut 22 auf. Diese Ankernut 22 hat das Profil eines Stiefels, dessen Kappe zur Querwand 4 hin zeigt und dessen Schaftrückseite die hintere Seitenwand einer Leiste 23 ist, deren Profil am freien Ende in einen kopfartigen Ansatz 24 übergeht. Der kopfartige Ansatz 24 steht dabei nach vorn über die Leiste 23 über und weist eine senkrechte Stirnseite 27 auf. Im Bereich seines Überstandes ist der kopfartige Ansatz 24 mit einer nach unten offenen Hinderschneidung 25 versehen. Ferner weist die Leiste 23 im Fußbereich eine nach vorn offene Stecknut 26 auf. Sowohl die Hinterschneidung 25 als auch die Stecknut 26 dienen der Halterung und Befestigung der Tragplatte 8, die hierzu im Profil geeignet geformte Seitenteile 81 aufweist.The upper rail part 2 of the mounting rails 1 has, on the side of the large receiving chamber 5 in the immediate vicinity of its free end, an anchor groove 22 which serves to engage brackets and is open to the outside. This anchor groove 22 has the profile of a boot, the cap of which faces the transverse wall 4 and the rear of the shaft is the rear side wall of a last 23, the profile of which merges into a head-like extension 24 at the free end. The head-like extension 24 projects forward over the bar 23 and has a vertical end face 27. In the area of its projection, the head-like extension 24 is provided with an undercut 25 which is open at the bottom. Furthermore, the strip 23 has a plug groove 26 which is open to the front in the foot region. Both the undercut 25 and the insertion groove 26 serve to hold and fasten the support plate 8, which has side parts 81 suitably shaped for this purpose in the profile.

Das Profil der Seitenteile 81 der Tragplatte 8 weist, wie die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen, eine Schraubennut 82 an der Unterseite sowie eine gegenüber dem oberen Rand der Tragplatte 8 nach unten abgesetzte und nach oben offene Rinne auf. Der in Figur 2 angegebene Absetzabstand a der Rinne 83 ist so bemessen, daß die Oberseite der Tragplatte 8 im zwischen die Tragschiene 1 eingesetzten Zustand mit der Oberseite des im Profil kopfartigen Ansatzes 24 der Leiste 23 und damit mit der äußeren Kontur der oberen Schienenteile 2 der Tragschiene 1 fluchtet.As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the profile of the side parts 81 of the support plate 8 has a screw groove 82 on the underside as well as a groove which is offset from the upper edge of the support plate 8 and is open at the top. The offset distance a shown in Figure 2 a of the groove 83 is such that the top of the support plate 8 when inserted between the mounting rail 1 with the top of the head-like extension 24 of the bar 23 and thus with the outer contour of the upper rail parts 2 of the DIN rail 1 is aligned.

Beim Einsetzen eines Modulbausteines mit seiner Tragplatte 8 von unten zwischen die Tragschienen 1 greifen die Seitenteile 81 der Tragplatte 8 mit dem äußeren Rand ihrer Rinne 83 formschlüssig in die Hinterschneidung 25 der Leiste 23 an der Unterseite des im Profil kopfartigen Ansatzes 24 keilförmig und sich dabei zentrierend ein. Anschließend wird die Tragplatte 8 mit ihren Seitenteilen 81 dadurch gegen die kopfartigen Ansätze 24 der Leisten 23 verspannt, daß an der Unterseite der Seitenteile 81 als Spannelemente Winkelschienenstücke 9 mit Spannschrauben 10 angebracht werden.When inserting a module with its support plate 8 from below between the support rails 1, the side parts 81 of the support plate 8 engage with the outer edge of their channel 83 in the undercut 25 of the bar 23 on the underside of the head-like extension 24 in profile and centering a. Subsequently, the support plate 8 with its side parts 81 is clamped against the head-like projections 24 of the strips 23 in that angle rail pieces 9 with clamping screws 10 are attached to the underside of the side parts 81 as clamping elements.

Zunächst werden dabei die Winkelschienenstücke 9 mit dem freien Ende ihres einen Schenkels 91 bis zum Anschlag des anderen Schenkels 92 an den Innenwänden der Seitenteile 81 in die Stecknuten 26 der Leisten 23 eingeschoben und anschließend mit ihrem Schenkel 91 jeweils mit wenigsten einer Spannschraube 10 an der Unterseite der Seitenteile 81 dadurch befestigt, daß die Spannschrauben kraftschlüssig in die nach unten offene Schraubennut 82 eingedreht werden. Dabei wird dann die Tragplatte 8 gegen die kopfartigen Ansätze 24 der Leisten 23 der oberen Schienenteile 2 verspannt.First, the angle rail pieces 9 are inserted with the free end of one leg 91 up to the stop of the other leg 92 on the inner walls of the side parts 81 into the slots 26 of the strips 23 and then with their leg 91 each with at least one clamping screw 10 on the underside the side parts 81 fastened in that the clamping screws are screwed into the downwardly open screw groove 82 in a force-locking manner. The support plate 8 is then clamped against the head-like projections 24 of the strips 23 of the upper rail parts 2.

Bei der Explosionsdarstellung eines Abschnitts eines Leuchtensystems nach Figur 2 ist neben der Tragplatte 8 eines Modulbausteins noch zusätzlich ein zu einem Verbindungsbügel 80 verkürzte Tragplatte dargestellt. Die Winkelschinenstücke 9 unterscheiden sich von denen, mit denen die Tragplatte 8 an den oberen Schienenteilen 2 befestigt ist, dadurch, daß die Befestigung dieser Winkelschienenstücke 9 an der Unterseite der Seitenteile 81 mit zwei Spannschrauben 10 erfolgt.In the exploded view of a section of a lighting system according to FIG. 2, in addition to the support plate 8 of a module component, a support plate shortened to a connecting bracket 80 is also shown. The angle rail pieces 9 differ from those with which the support plate 8 is fastened to the upper rail parts 2 in that the fastening of these angle rail pieces 9 to the underside of the side parts 81 is carried out with two clamping screws 10.

Durch eine solche Verkürzung einer Tragplatte 8 ist es möglich, bei Erhaltung des Tragplattenprofils einen in sich tragenden Verbindungsbügel 80 zu verwirklichen, der überall da eingesetzt werden kann, wo im Zuge eines Schienenstrangs eine tragende Verbindung zwischen den beiden Tragschienen 1 eines Schienenstrangs zusätzlich erforderlich ist.By shortening a support plate 8 in this way, it is possible, while maintaining the support plate profile, to implement a self-supporting connecting bracket 80 which can be used wherever a load-bearing connection between the two support rails 1 of a rail track is additionally required in the course of a rail track.
