Leuchtensysteme in modularer Bauweise, bei der ein oberes und ein unteres Schienenteil durch eine Querwand miteinander verbunden sind, die den Schieneninnenraum in eine große, einseitig offene und eine kleine Aufnahmekammer für die Unterbringung elektrischer Bauteile und/oder Leitungen unterteilt und bei der das obere Schienenteil im Bereich der großen Aufnahmekammer eine dem Eingriff von Halterungen dienende nach außen offene Ankernut aufweist.The invention relates to a mounting rail with a V-shaped cross-sectional profile for lights or lighting systems in a modular design, in which an upper and a lower rail part are connected to each other by a transverse wall, which the rail interior into a large, one-sided open and a small receiving chamber for subdivides the housing of electrical components and / or lines and in which the upper rail part in the region of the large receiving chamber has an outwardly open anchor groove which serves for the engagement of brackets.
Hohe Anforderungen an eine wirtschaftliche Beleuchtung unter Anwendung optimaler Lichttechnik erfordern neben dem Einsatz üblicher Langfeldleuchten mit Leuchtstofflampen zusätzlich die Einsatzmöglichkeit von Spotleuchten mit Halogenlampen und Kompaktleuchtstofflampen mit frei wählbarer Anordnung innerhalb eines Lichtbandverbundes. Hierfür eignen sich Leuchtensysteme in modularer Bauweise, bei denen der Tragrahmen für eine Langfeldleuchte bzw. für eine Lichtbandanordnung von einem Schienenstrangkörper in Gestalt von zwei zueinande parallel und spiegelbildlich angeordneten Tragschienen mit geeignetem Querschnittprofil Gebrauch machen.In addition to the use of conventional linear luminaires with fluorescent lamps, high demands on economical lighting using optimal lighting technology also require the use of spotlights with halogen lamps and compact fluorescent lamps with a freely selectable arrangement within a light band system. Luminaire systems with a modular design are suitable for this purpose, in which the support frame for a linear luminaire or for a continuous row arrangement makes use of a rail track body in the form of two support rails arranged in parallel and in mirror image with a suitable cross-sectional profile.
Leuchtensysteme dieser Art sind in der älteren europäischen Patentanmeldung 90114986.4 (EP-A1- 0 469 179) bereits vorgeschlagen worden. Ähnliche Profile für derartige Tragschienen sind auch durch die europäische Patentanmeldung 0 272 681 A2, bei denen jedoch die Querwand zur Unterteilung des Schieneninnenraums in zwei Aufnahmekammern lediglich angedeutet ist, bekannt.Lighting systems of this type have already been proposed in the older European patent application 90114986.4 (EP-A1-0 469 179). Similar profiles for such mounting rails are also known from European patent application 0 272 681 A2, in which, however, the transverse wall for dividing the interior of the rail into two receiving chambers is only indicated.
Bei der Gestaltung des Profils einer solchen Tragschiene kommt es, abgesehen von ästhetischen Gesichtspunkten der Konturgebung, unter anderem darauf an, daß einerseits die durch die Querwand geschaffenen Aufnahmekammern für die Unterbringung der elektrischen Bauteile und Leitungen optimal gestaltet sind und andererseits erforderliche Montagearbeiten, insbesondere das unmittelbare Aneinanderfügen von Tragschienenabschnitten einfach und schnell durchgeführt werden können.When designing the profile of such a mounting rail, apart from aesthetic aspects of the contour, it is important, among other things, that on the one hand the receiving chambers created by the transverse wall are optimally designed for the accommodation of the electrical components and lines and on the other hand necessary assembly work, in particular the immediate one Joining mounting rail sections can be carried out easily and quickly.

Als seitlicher Abschluß für die nach oben offene Ankernut 24 dient eine Leiste 29, deren hintere Seitenwand die Schaftrückseite 26 bildet. Die Leiste 29 formt den freien Rand des oberen Schienenteils 2 auf seiten der großen Aufnahmekammer 5 mit einem Profil, das am freien Ende in einen über die Öffnung 53 der großen Aufnahmekammer 5 überstehenden kopfartigen Ansatz 291 übergeht. In der vorderen Seitenwand der Leiste 29 ist über ihre Länge am kopfartigen Ansatz 291 eine nach unten offene nutförmige Hinterschneidung 293 und in Höhe der Sohle 28 des Stiefelprofils der Ankernut 24 eine Stecknut 294 vorgesehen. Weiterhin hat der kopfartige Ansatz 291 eine vordere Stirnwand 292, die der Führung von mit dem freien Ende des oberen Schienenteils 2 auf seiten der großen Aufnahmekammer 5 zu verbindenden mechanischen Bauelementen dient.A
Wie Figur 1 ferner zeigt, weist das obere Schienenteil 2 im Bereich der Ankernut 24 an der im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden Innenwand eine sich über seine Länge erstreckende, im Profil sägezahnförmige Riffelung 295 auf, deren Zähne gegen die Querwand 4 hin ausgerichtet sind. Eine entsprechende sägezahnförmige Riffelung 44 weist auch die Querwand 4 im unteren Bereich auf seiten der kleinen Aufnahmekammer 6 auf. Die Zähne sind hier gegen das untere Schienenteil 3 ausgerichtet. Die Riffelungen 295 und 44 dienen Federelementen zum Rasteingriff, die zur Halterung von in die Aufnahmekammern einzubringenden elektrischen Bauteile dienen und sich an den Bauteilen abstützen.As FIG. 1 also shows, the
