Abstract

A description is given of a trough-shaped light fixture (luminaire) (1), in which there is attached to the housing a mounting rail (4) on which a reflecting basket (10) is mounted. This produces a cost-effective and simple retention of the reflecting basket (10) on the housing of the light fixture. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wannenleuchte mit einem Gehäuse, mit wenigstens einem vorzugsweise länglichen Leuchtmittel, über dem Reflektoren angebracht sind, die das Licht nach unten lenken, ferner mit einem unter dem Leuchtmittel befestigten Reflektorkorb, der das Licht teilweise zu den Reflektoren umlenkt und teilweise nach unten durchläßt.The invention relates to a diffuser luminaire with a housing, with at least one preferably elongated lamp, above which reflectors are attached, which direct the light downwards, furthermore with a reflector basket attached under the lamp, which deflects the light partly to the reflectors and partly downwards lets through.

Es ist eine Wannenleuchte mit Reflektorkorb mit diesen Merkmalen bekannt, bei der in einer Leuchtenwanne zwei Reflektoren so befestigt sind, daß sie mit ihren Unterkanten jeweils an beiden Seiten eines mittig verlegten Reflektorkorbes enden.
Der Reflektorkorb ist unterhalb der Leuchtenwanne an dieser befestigt und wie vorher beschrieben, enden die beiden gekrümmten Reflektoren oberhalb des Reflektorkorbes.A trough lamp with a reflector basket with these features is known, in which two reflectors are fastened in a lamp trough in such a way that they end with their lower edges on both sides of a centrally laid reflector basket.
The reflector basket is attached to the luminaire trough and, as previously described, the two curved reflectors end above the reflector basket.

Der Reflektorkorb überdeckt ein oder mehrere Leuchtmittel und ist bevorzugt aus einem Lochmaterial gefertigt, z.B. einem Lochblech oder dergleichen, welches innenseitig von einem Lichtfilter abgedeckt ist.The reflector basket covers one or more lamps and is preferably made of a perforated material, e.g. a perforated plate or the like, which is covered on the inside by a light filter.

Durch spezielle Ausbildung der Reflektoren der Wannenleuchte kann erreicht werden, daß das Licht, welches auf die Reflektoren gerichtet wird und in den Raum abgestrahlt wird, in seiner Leuchtdichte relativ gleich ist dem Licht, welches direkt durch den Reflektorkorb nach außen abgestrahlt wird. Die bekannte Wannenleuchte hat also den Vorteil, daß eine relativ gleichmäßige Leuchtdichteverteilung über die gesamte Wannenleuchte realisiert werden kann.Through a special design of the reflectors of the diffuser luminaire it can be achieved that the light which is directed onto the reflectors and is emitted into the room is relatively identical in its luminance to the light which is emitted directly through the reflector basket to the outside. The well-known trough lamp has the advantage that a relatively uniform luminance distribution over the entire Tub light can be realized.

Bisher war jedoch die Halterung des Reflektorkorbes an der Leuchtenwanne relativ aufwendig und nur schwierig zu lösen. Dies führte dazu, daß derartige Wannenleuchten nur kostenaufwendig herstellbar waren und insbesondere nicht modular aufgebaut waren. Darum mußten bei Leuchtmitteln, Decken und Deckenelementen mit verschiedenen Abmessungen immer neue Konstruktionen verwirklicht werden, was mit einem hohen Kostenaufwand verbunden war.So far, however, the mounting of the reflector basket on the lamp tray was relatively complex and difficult to solve. This led to the fact that such luminaires were only expensive to produce and, in particular, were not modular. That is why new constructions always had to be realized with lamps, ceilings and ceiling elements with different dimensions, which was associated with high costs.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Wannenleuchte mit Reflektorkorb der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß eine wesentlich kostengünstigere und einfachere Halterung des Reflektorkorbes an der Leuchtenwanne gewährleistet ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a diffuser luminaire with a reflector basket of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a substantially more cost-effective and simple mounting of the reflector basket on the luminaire trough is ensured.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist die Erfindung durch die technische Lehre des Anspruchs 1 gekennzeichnet.To achieve the object, the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.

Wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung ist, daß nun der gesamte Reflektorkorb an einer Montageschiene gehalten ist, welche Montageschiene sich mindestens über die gesamte Längserstreckung der Leuchtenwanne erstreckt und an der Leuchtenwanne befestigt ist.An essential feature of the invention is that the entire reflector basket is now held on a mounting rail, which mounting rail extends at least over the entire longitudinal extent of the lamp trough and is fastened to the lamp trough.

Bei der bekannten Konstruktion mußte also beim Einsatz andersartiger Leuchtmittel immer auch die Leuchtenwanne verändert werden, was mit der neuen Erfindung nicht mehr notwendig ist. Auch braucht beim Einsatz der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte in Rasterdecken nur mehr die Leuchtenwanne der Größe den Deckenelementen angepaßt werden. Es braucht also nicht mehr die gesamte Leuchte (Wanne, Korb, Reflektoren) zur Anpassung an die Deckenelemente neu konstruiert werden.In the known construction, therefore, the luminaire trough always had to be changed when using different types of lamps, which is no longer necessary with the new invention. Also, when using the luminaire according to the invention in grid ceilings, only the luminaire pan needs to be adapted to the size of the ceiling elements. It is no longer necessary to redesign the entire luminaire (tub, basket, reflectors) to adapt it to the ceiling elements.

Bei der Erfindung wird also ein modularer Aufbau vorgeschlagen, wobei die genannten Teile, nämlich Leuchtenwanne, Montageschiene und Reflektorkorb modularartig einander zugeordnet sind, so daß die genannten Teile leicht bei der Herstellung gegeneinander ausgetauscht werden können.In the invention, a modular structure is therefore proposed, wherein the parts mentioned, namely lamp tray, mounting rail and reflector basket are assigned to one another in a modular manner, so that the parts mentioned can be easily interchanged during manufacture.

Damit kann z.B. der gleiche Reflektorkorb für verschiedenartige Leuchten verwendet werden, was bei der bekannten Wannenleuchte des Standes der Technik nicht möglich war.With this e.g. the same reflector basket can be used for different types of lights, which was not possible with the known bath light of the prior art.

Ein weiterer Vorteil bei der Erfindung ergibt sich dadurch, daß erfindungsgemäß in einer Weiterbildung die Montageschiene zur Aufnahme sämtlicher elektrischer Funktionsteile vorgesehen ist, womit gewährleistet ist, daß die Funktionsteile an einem einzigen Montageort, nämlich der Montageschiene selbst, befestigt werden und mit der Montageschiene zusammen ein- und ausgebaut werden können.Another advantage of the invention results from the fact that, according to the invention, in a further development the mounting rail is provided for receiving all electrical functional parts, which ensures that the functional parts are fastened to a single mounting location, namely the mounting rail itself, and together with the mounting rail - and can be expanded.

In einer Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist im übrigen vorgesehen, daß die Montageschiene seitliche Reflektorflächen aufweist, die sich mit zugeordneten Reflektorflächen der an der Montageschiene anschließenden Reflektoren ergänzen, so daß damit eine günstigere Leuchtdichteverteilung gewährleistet ist, weil die Montageschiene selbst noch mit teilweise als Reflektor ausgebildet ist.In a further development of the present invention, it is also provided that the mounting rail has lateral reflector surfaces which complement each other with associated reflector surfaces of the reflectors adjoining the mounting rail, so that a more favorable luminance distribution is ensured because the mounting rail itself is also partially designed as a reflector is.

Damit besteht der Vorteil, daß sich über die gesamte Länge der Leuchtenwanne zusätzliche Reflektorflächen ergeben, daß Teil der Montageschiene sind, wodurch die Lichtausbeute der erfindungsgemässen Wannenleuchte wesentlich verbessert wird.This has the advantage that there are additional reflector surfaces over the entire length of the luminaire trough that are part of the mounting rail, as a result of which the luminous efficiency of the trough luminaire according to the invention is significantly improved.

Für die Ausbildung der erfindungsgemässen Montageschiene gibt es mehrere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen.There are several preferred embodiments for the construction of the mounting rail according to the invention.

In einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die Montageschiene aus einem Blechprofil besteht. In einer zweiten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die Montageschiene aus einem stranggepressten Metallprofil besteht, und in einer dritten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die Montageschiene aus einem extrudierten Kunststoffprofil besteht.In a first preferred embodiment it is provided that the Mounting rail consists of a sheet metal profile. In a second embodiment it is provided that the mounting rail consists of an extruded metal profile, and in a third embodiment it is provided that the mounting rail consists of an extruded plastic profile.

Es kann dann vorgesehen sein, daß die an der Montageschiene angeordneten Reflektorflächen nachträglich noch angebrachtwerden, z.B. durch Aufdampfen entsprechenden Materials, durch Anbringen einer entsprechenden Reflektorfolie oder durch Anbringen einer entsprechenden Beschichtung.It can then be provided that the reflector surfaces arranged on the mounting rail are subsequently attached, e.g. by vapor deposition of appropriate material, by attaching an appropriate reflector film or by applying an appropriate coating.

Vorteilhaft ist, daß das Profil der Montageschiene etwa V-förmig ausgebildet ist, so daß sich ein V-förmiger Profilabschnitt in den Reflektorkorb hinein erstreckt, wodurch erreicht wird, daß sich gekrümmte Reflektorflächen an den Seitenflächen der Montageschiene ergeben.It is advantageous that the profile of the mounting rail is approximately V-shaped, so that a V-shaped profile section extends into the reflector basket, which results in curved reflector surfaces on the side surfaces of the mounting rail.

Durch die Ausbildung der Montageschiene als federnde, vorzugsweise etwa V-förmig profilierte Schiene ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß verschiedene Funktionselemente, wie z.B. die Kopfstirnteile des Reflektorkorbes, die Aufhängeelemente zur Befestigung der Montageschiene an der Leuchtenwanne und auch entsprechende Montagehilfen leicht eingeklinkt und lösbar befestigt werden können.The design of the mounting rail as a resilient, preferably approximately V-shaped, profile results in the advantage that various functional elements, such as e.g. the head end parts of the reflector basket, the suspension elements for attaching the mounting rail to the luminaire tray and the corresponding mounting aids can be easily latched in and releasably attached.

Die federnden Eigenschaften der Montageschiene werden also zur Halterung von entsprechenden einrastbaren Elementen ausgenutzt.The resilient properties of the mounting rail are thus used to hold corresponding snap-in elements.

In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, an einer langen Montageschiene auch mehrere hintereinander angeordnete Reflektorkörbe mit diesen zugeordneten Leuchtmitteln in gegenseitigem Abstand zu haltern.In a further development of the invention, it is provided that a plurality of reflector baskets arranged one behind the other with these associated illuminants are also held at a mutual distance on a long mounting rail.

Derartige modulare Lösungen waren bei der eingangs genannten Wannenleuchte nach dem Stand der Technik nicht möglich, weil dort vorausgesetzt war, daß der Reflektorkorb mit entsprechenden stirnseitig angebrachten Winkelprofilen unmittelbar an der Leuchtenwanne befestigt war.Such modular solutions were not possible in the case of the prior art trough luminaire, because it was assumed there that the reflector basket was attached directly to the luminaire trough with corresponding end profiles attached at the front.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ergibt sich nicht nur aus dem Gegenstand der einzelnen Patentansprüche, sondern auch aus der Kombination der einzelnen Patentansprüche untereinander.
Alle in den Unterlagen - einschließlich der Zusammenfassung - offenbarten Angaben und Merkmale, insbesondere die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte räumliche Ausbildung werden als erfindungswesentlich beansprucht, soweit sie einzeln oder in Kombination gegenüber dem Stand der Technik neu sind.The subject matter of the present invention results not only from the subject matter of the individual patent claims, but also from the combination of the individual patent claims with one another.
All information and features disclosed in the documents - including the summary -, in particular the spatial design shown in the drawings, are claimed to be essential to the invention insofar as they are new to the prior art, individually or in combination.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellende Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Hierbei gehen aus den Zeichnungen und ihrer Beschreibung weitere erfindungswesentliche Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung hervor.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of drawings which illustrate only one embodiment.

Gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 ist in einer Decke oder auf einer Decke eine Leuchtenwanne 1,2 montiert, wobei im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 die Leuchtenwanne 1 mit einem verdeckten Tragsystem 8 bzw. mit einem sichtbaren Tragsystem 8a befestigt ist.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a luminaire trough 1, 2 is mounted in a ceiling or on a ceiling, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 the luminaire trough 1 is fastened with a concealed support system 8 or with a visible support system 8a.

Im Innenraum 3 der Leuchtenwanne 1 sind Reflektoren 6,7 befestigt, wobei die beiden Reflektoren identisch ausgebildet sind und jeweils mit ihren äußeren Stirnseiten in nicht näher dargestellten Halterungen an der Seitenwand der Leuchtenwanne 1 gehalten sind.In the interior 3 of the lamp trough 1, reflectors 6, 7 are fastened, the two reflectors being of identical design and each being held on the side wall of the lamp trough 1 with their outer end faces in brackets (not shown).

Die beiden Reflektoren 6,7 erstrecken sich in Richtung zur Mittenlängsachse der Leuchtenwanne zu der erfindungsgemässen Montageschiene 4 hin, wo sie lösbar gehalten sind.The two reflectors 6, 7 extend in the direction of the central longitudinal axis of the luminaire trough towards the mounting rail 4 according to the invention, where they are detachably held.

Die Montageschiene 4 ist an ihrer Unterseite etwa V-förmig profiliert und weist bevorzugt seitliche Reflektorflächen 16,17 auf, die bevorzugt in Verlängerung der Reflektorflächen der Reflektoren 6,7 angeordnet sind. Hieraus ergibt sich die V-förmige Profilierung der Montageschiene 4 mindestens in deren unteren Bereich.The mounting rail 4 has an approximately V-shaped profile on its underside and preferably has lateral reflector surfaces 16, 17, which are preferably arranged in an extension of the reflector surfaces of the reflectors 6, 7. This results in the V-shaped profile of the mounting rail 4 at least in its lower area.

Werden Reflektoren 6,7 in anderen Krümmungsradius verlegt, dann werden die entsprechenden Reflektorflächen 16,17 der Montageschiene 4 entsprechend angepaßt, so daß bevorzugt ein stetiger Übergang zwischen den Reflektorflächen 16,17 der Montageschiene 4 und den daran anschließenden Reflektoren 6,7 gewährleistet ist.If reflectors 6, 7 are laid in a different radius of curvature, then the corresponding reflector surfaces 16, 17 of the mounting rail 4 are adapted accordingly, so that preferably a continuous transition between the reflector surfaces 16, 17 of the mounting rail 4 and the reflectors 6, 7 connected thereto is ensured.

Die Länge der Montageschiene ist relativ unabhängig von der Länge der Leuchtenwanne. Es kann in einer ersten Ausführungsform vorgesehen sein, daß die Montageschiene gleich lang wie die Leuchtenwanne ist, womit der Vorteil sich ergibt, daß störende Fugen zwischen dem Reflektorkorb und den zugeordneten Flächen der Leuchtenwanne vermieden werden.The length of the mounting rail is relatively independent of the length of the lamp tray. It can be provided in a first embodiment that the mounting rail has the same length as the lamp tray, which has the advantage that disruptive joints between the reflector basket and the associated surfaces of the lamp tray are avoided.

Es ist aber ebenso möglich, die Montageschiene kürzer als die Länge der Leuchtenwanne auszubilden oder auch länger. Gleiches gilt im übrigen auch für den Reflektorkorb.But it is also possible to make the mounting rail shorter than the length of the luminaire tray or longer. The same also applies to the reflector basket.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist im übrigen dargestellt, daß die Montageschiene 4 in ihrer Oberseite mit Halterungen versehen ist (vergl. auch Figur 6), so daß gewährleistet ist, daß in der Montageschiene 4 alle elektrischen Funktionsteile, wie z.B. ein Vorschaltgerät 5, (Figuren 1 und 2) oder ein Kondensator 40 (Figur 6) aufgenommen und über entsprechende Halter 41 befestigt sind.In Figures 1 and 2 it is also shown that the mounting rail 4 is provided on its top with brackets (see also Figure 6), so that it is ensured that in the mounting rail 4 all electrical functional parts, such as. a ballast 5 (FIGS. 1 and 2) or a capacitor 40 (FIG. 6) are received and fastened via corresponding holders 41.

Damit besteht der Vorteil, daß alle elektrischen Funktionsmittel in der Montageschiene 4 angeordnet sind und die Montageschiene 4 als einziges elektrisches Anschlußteil der Wannenleuchte dient.This has the advantage that all electrical functional means are arranged in the mounting rail 4 and the mounting rail 4 serves as the only electrical connection part of the diffuser lamp.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 ist dargestellt, daß sich die Reflektoren 6,7 nur etwa bis zur Unterkante 9 der Leuchtenwanne 1 erstrecken, was jedoch nicht lösungsnotwendig ist. Es kann vorgesehen sein, daß sich die Reflektoren 6,7 auch in Bereiche des V-förmigen Profils der Montageschiene 4 unter die Unterkante 9 hinweg erstrecken.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, it is shown that the reflectors 6, 7 only extend approximately to the lower edge 9 of the lamp trough 1, which, however, is not necessary for a solution. It can be provided that the reflectors 6, 7 also extend in areas of the V-shaped profile of the mounting rail 4 below the lower edge 9.

Der Reflektorkorb 10 besteht bevorzugt aus einem wannenförmigen Element 11, welches aus z.B. einem Lochblech 34 gefertigt ist, welches innenseitig mit einem Lichtfilter 35 ausgekleidet ist.The reflector basket 10 preferably consists of a trough-shaped element 11, which consists of e.g. a perforated plate 34 is made, which is lined on the inside with a light filter 35.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist dargestellt, daß der Reflektorkorb 10 die unterschiedlichsten Leuchtmittel 12 aufnehmen kann, wie z.B. ein oder mehrere Langfeldleuchten 13 oder auch ein oder mehrere Kompakt-Leuchtstofflampen 14.In Figures 1 and 2 it is shown that the reflector basket 10 the can accommodate a wide variety of lamps 12, such as one or more linear lamps 13 or one or more compact fluorescent lamps 14.

Hierbei kann es vorgesehen sein, daß der Reflektorkorb 10 unterschiedliche Größenabmessungen hat, um z.B. bei der Aufnahme eines Leuchtmittels kleinere Abmessungen aufzuweisen, als beispielsweise bei der Aufnahme zweier oder mehrerer Leuchtmittel.It can be provided that the reflector basket 10 has different size dimensions, e.g. to have smaller dimensions when accommodating one illuminant than, for example, when accommodating two or more illuminants.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 sind weitere Einzelheiten der lösbaren Halterungsmittel an der Montageschiene 4 dargestellt.FIGS. 3 and 4 show further details of the releasable holding means on the mounting rail 4.

So ist erkennbar, daß der Korbstirnteil 19 des Reflektorkorbes 10 starre Schenkel 42 aufweist, die in zugeordnete Schlitze 18 einrastbar sind. Vorteilhaft hierbei ist, daß die Montageschiene 4 als Federelement ausgebildet ist.It can be seen that the basket end portion 19 of the reflector basket 10 has rigid legs 42 which can be snapped into the associated slots 18. It is advantageous here that the mounting rail 4 is designed as a spring element.

Von einer etwa V-förmigen unteren Profilierung, welche die seitlichen Reflektorflächen 16,17 ausbildet, schließen sich etwa horizontale Abschnitte 24 an, die ihrerseits in einwärts versetzte vertikale Abschnitte 25 der Montageschiene 4 übergehen. Damit werden Aufnahmeräume 39 geschaffen, in welche gemäss Figur 5 dann die Reflektoren 6,7 lösbar und formschlüssig eingreifen.An approximately V-shaped lower profile, which forms the lateral reflector surfaces 16, 17, is followed by approximately horizontal sections 24, which in turn merge into vertically offset vertical sections 25 of the mounting rail 4. This creates receiving spaces 39, in which, according to FIG. 5, the reflectors 6, 7 then engage detachably and positively.

Von den vertikalen, aufwärts gerichteten Abschnitten 25 anschließend sind horizontale Abschnitte 26 vorgesehen, an die sich ihrerseits nach außen gerichtete, aber einwärts gebogene federnde Schenkel 27 anschließen.From the vertical, upward-facing sections 25, horizontal sections 26 are then provided, which in turn are connected to resilient legs 27 which are directed outward but are bent inward.

Insgesamt ergibt sich also gemäß Figur 6 ein etwa pfeilförmiges Profil der Montageschiene 4 mindestens im oberen Bereich mit seitlich einwärts versetzten Aufnahmeräumen 39 und einem oberen Aufnahmeraum 43, der zur Aufnahme der elektrischen Funktionsteile (Figur 6) geeignet ist.Overall, according to FIG. 6, there is an approximately arrow-shaped profile of the mounting rail 4 at least in the upper region with receiving spaces 39 offset laterally inwards and an upper receiving space 43 which is used for Recording the electrical functional parts (Figure 6) is suitable.

Durch die in der Bodenfläche der V-förmigen Profilierung angeordneten Schlitze 20 wird die elektrische Leitung zum Anschluß der Fassungen und Starter in den Reflektorkorb 10 eingeführt.Through the slots 20 arranged in the bottom surface of the V-shaped profile, the electrical line for connecting the sockets and starters is inserted into the reflector basket 10.

Die Fassung für entsprechenden Leuchtmittel ist an der Innenseite des jeweiligen Korbstirnteils 19 befestigt.The socket for the corresponding illuminant is attached to the inside of the respective basket front part 19.

Von der Stirnseite her wird im übrigen die Montageschiene 4 durch ein einclipsbares Endstück 33 verschlossen.From the end, the mounting rail 4 is closed by a clip-in end piece 33.

Hierbei kann es vorgesehen sein, daß mit einem einzigen Fassungsträger, der an der Innenseite des Korbstirnteils 19 angeordnet ist, sämtliche Lampenpositionen von unterschiedlichen Leuchtmitteln 12 unterschiedlichen Zahl erfaßt sein können.In this case, it can be provided that all lamp positions can be detected by different illuminants 12 of different numbers with a single holder which is arranged on the inside of the basket end part 19.

Dies ist unabhängig von der Größe des Korbstirnteils 19, wobei sowohl ein separater Fassungsträger verwendet werden kann, als auch das Korbstirnteil selbst als Fassungsträger ausgebildet werden kann.This is independent of the size of the basket end part 19, it being possible for a separate holder to be used as well as the holder for the basket itself to be designed as a holder.

Die Halterung der Montageschiene 4 an der Leuchtenwanne 1,2 erfolgt über entsprechende Aufhängeelemente 29, die etwa U-förmige Bügel sind, an deren Grundschenkel seitliche Federschenkel 31 angeformt sind. Diese Aufhängeelemente 29 mit ihren Federschenkeln 31 werden gegen die horizontalen Abschnitte 26 der Montageschiene 4 geführt und greifen dort in Schlitze 30 ein, wodurch sie zusammenfedern und hinter den Schlitzen wieder ausfedern, so daß damit eine lösbare Clipshalterung gegeben ist.The mounting rail 4 is held on the lamp trough 1, 2 by means of corresponding suspension elements 29, which are approximately U-shaped brackets, on the base legs of which lateral spring legs 31 are formed. These suspension elements 29 with their spring legs 31 are guided against the horizontal sections 26 of the mounting rail 4 and engage there in slots 30, whereby they spring together and rebound behind the slots, so that there is a releasable clip holder.

Mit dieser Halterung wird gleichzeitig der Erdkontakt von der Leuchtenwanne 1,2 auf die Montageschiene 4 geführt.With this holder, the earth contact from the luminaire tray 1, 2 is guided onto the mounting rail 4 at the same time.

An der Montageschiene 4 sind entsprechende Halterungsmittel zur zusätzlichen Halterung der Leuchtmittel 12 vorgesehen, wobei Lampenhalter 22 lösbar dadurch an der Montageschiene 4 befestigt sind, daß zugehörige Verbindungselemente 23 mit daran angeordneten Federschenkeln in zugeordnete Aufnahmeschlitze im Bereich der einander gegenüberliegenden Reflektorflächen 16,17 eingreifen.Corresponding holding means for additional holding of the illuminants 12 are provided on the mounting rail 4, with lamp holders 22 being releasably fastened to the mounting rail 4 in that associated connecting elements 23 with spring legs arranged thereon engage in associated receiving slots in the region of the mutually opposite reflector surfaces 16, 17.

Die Verbindungselemente 23 weisen einen unteren Körper auf, der in eine zugeordnete Aufnahme am Lampenhalter 22 eingreift, wobei am Verbindungselement auswärts gerichtete Noppen in zugeordnete Ausnehmungen im Bereich der Aufnahme am Lampenhalter 22 einrasten.The connecting elements 23 have a lower body which engages in an associated receptacle on the lamp holder 22, with knobs which point outward on the connecting element latching into associated recesses in the region of the receptacle on the lamp holder 22.

Als Montagehilfe zur Montage der Montageschiene 4 in einer Leuchtenwanne 1, 2 dient die in Figur 3 oben dargestellte Montagehilfe 28, die in ihrer Funktionslage nach Figur 4 noch zusätzlich dargestellt ist.The assembly aid 28 shown above in FIG. 3, which is also shown in its functional position according to FIG. 4, serves as an assembly aid for assembling the mounting rail 4 in a lamp trough 1, 2.

Mehrere Montagehilfen sind über die Montageschiene 4 verteilt. Bei kurzen Montageschienen kann das Aufhängeelement 29 zusätzlich die Funktion der Montagehilfe 28 übernehmen.Several assembly aids are distributed over the mounting rail 4. In the case of short mounting rails, the suspension element 29 can also take on the function of the mounting aid 28.

Hierbei ist erkennbar, daß die Montagehilfe 28 wiederum in der Art wie bei dem Aufhängeelement 29 erwähnt, auswärts gerichtete federnde Schenkel aufweist, welche in zugeordnete Schlitze 30 im Bereich der horizontalen Abschnitte 26 der Montageschiene 4 eingreifen.It can be seen here that the assembly aid 28 again has, in the manner as mentioned for the suspension element 29, outwardly directed resilient legs which engage in associated slots 30 in the region of the horizontal sections 26 of the assembly rail 4.

Die Montagehilfe 28 ist gemäß Figur 4 mit einer Schnur 32 verbunden, die an ihrer anderen Seite mit dem Wannenboden der Wanne 1,2 verbunden ist. Die elektrischen Anschlüsse werden nun dadurch hergestellt, daß zunächst die Montageschiene 4 an der gespannten Schnur 32 in einem relativ großen Abstand von der Leuchtenwanne 1 nach unten abgehängt wird, wodurch dann das Versorgungskabel zur Montageschiene geführt wird und die elektrischen Anschlüsse dort hergestellt werden können.The assembly aid 28 is connected according to FIG. 4 with a cord 32 which is connected on its other side to the bottom of the tub 1, 2. The electrical connections are now made by first hanging the mounting rail 4 down on the tensioned cord 32 at a relatively large distance from the lamp trough 1, which then leads the supply cable to the mounting rail and the electrical connections can be made there.

Nach dem Herstellen der elektrischen Anschlüsse wird gleichzeitig bei eingehängter Montagehilfe 28 gemäß Figur 4 die gesamte Montageschiene nach oben gegen die Leuchtenwanne bewegt, wobei in der Leuchtenwanne eine entsprechende Halterung zur Aufnahme der abgebogenen Schenkel 44 der Aufhängeelemente 29 vorgesehen ist. Hierbei ist in der Leuchtenwanne ein nicht näher dargestellter Verschlußbügel vorgesehen, der seitliche Schlitze aufweist, in welche die Schenkel 44 der Aufhängeelemente 29 eingreifen. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Kulisse, so daß die Schenkel 44 der Aufhängeelemente 29 an dieser Kulisse entlang nach oben wandern und die Schenkel 44 dann am Ende dieser Kulisse in entsprechende Aufnahmen einschnappen. Diese Verbindung gewährleistet auch eine sichere elektrische Verbindung zwischen Leuchtenwanne, Montageschiene und Reflektorkorb (Erdung).After the electrical connections have been made, the entire mounting rail is simultaneously moved upward against the lamp trough with the mounting aid 28 according to FIG. 4, a corresponding holder being provided in the lamp trough for receiving the bent legs 44 of the suspension elements 29. Here, a locking bracket, not shown, is provided in the lamp trough, which has lateral slots into which the legs 44 of the suspension elements 29 engage. This is a backdrop, so that the legs 44 of the suspension elements 29 move upwards along this backdrop and the legs 44 then snap into corresponding receptacles at the end of this backdrop. This connection also ensures a secure electrical connection between luminaire tray, mounting rail and reflector basket (earthing).

Es ist im übrigen vorteilhaft, wenn der gesamte Reflektorkorb 10 nur über die Korbstirnteile 19 der Montageschiene 4 verbunden ist, weil hierdurch dann weitere Befestigungsmittel entfallen können.Moreover, it is advantageous if the entire reflector basket 10 is connected only via the basket front parts 19 of the mounting rail 4, because this means that additional fastening means can then be omitted.

In Figur 5 ist im übrigen dargestellt, wie die Reflektoren 6,7 formschlüssig lösbar in den entsprechenden Aufnahmeräumen 39 der Montageschiene 4 eingeklinkt sind. Hierbei weisen die Reflektoren 6,7 nach innen oder außen aufweisende umgebogene Schenkel auf, die sich demzufolge in die profilierten Abschnitte 24 der Montageschiene einschmiegen und sich dort formschlüssig anlegen. Damit wird ein lichtdichter Abschluß an dieser Stelle erreicht.FIG. 5 also shows how the reflectors 6, 7 are positively detachably latched into the corresponding receiving spaces 39 of the mounting rail 4. Here, the reflectors 6, 7 have inwardly or outwardly bent legs, which consequently nestle into the profiled sections 24 of the mounting rail and engage there in a form-fitting manner. A light-tight seal is achieved at this point.

In einigen Fällen kann es aus optischen Gründen vorgesehen werden, daß sich zwischen der Kante 38 der Montageschiene 4 und der zugeordneten Unterkante des Reflektors 6,7 eine Sichtfuge 36 ergibt. In Figur 5 ist im übrigen erkennbar, daß die Schenkel 37 der Reflektoren 6,7 abgebogen sind und sich demzufolge formschlüssig in die entsprechend profilierten Abschnitte 24 der Montageschiene einschmiegen.In some cases it can be provided for optical reasons that there is a visible joint 36 between the edge 38 of the mounting rail 4 and the associated lower edge of the reflector 6, 7. In Figure 5 it can also be seen that the legs 37 of the reflectors 6, 7 are bent and consequently fit into the correspondingly profiled sections 24 of the mounting rail.

Die Sichtfuge 36 dient dazu, die Distanz zwischen der Tragschiene 45 eines sichtbaren Tragsystems 8a (Figur 1) und der Differenz zu der daraufliegenden, abgehängten Decke 46 auszugleichen.The visible joint 36 serves to compensate for the distance between the mounting rail 45 of a visible support system 8a (FIG. 1) and the difference to the suspended ceiling 46 lying thereon.

Es wird nochmals darauf hingewiesen, daß der im wesentlichen V-förmig profilierte Körper 15 das Unterteil der Montageschiene 4 den Vorteil hat, daß sich eben so profilierte Reflektorflächen 16,17 ergeben, die sich entsprechend der Darstellung in den Figuren 1 und 2 als bündige Fortsetzung der Reflektoren 6,7 darstellen. Damit wird die Lichtausbeute der erfindungsgemäßen Wannenleuchte wesentlich verbessert.It is again pointed out that the substantially V-shaped body 15, the lower part of the mounting rail 4 has the advantage that there are profiled reflector surfaces 16, 17, which, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, form a flush continuation represent the reflectors 6.7. The luminous efficacy of the diffuser luminaire according to the invention is thus substantially improved.

Im übrigen wird noch darauf hingewiesen, daß anstatt einer mittig in einer Leuchtenwanne angeordneten Montageschiene mit einem zugeordneten Reflektorkorb 10 auch mehrere parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Montageschienen 4 mit zugeordneten Reflektorkörben 10 in gegenseitigem Abstand in einer gemeinsamen Leuchtenwanne angeordnet werden können.In addition, it is pointed out that instead of a mounting rail arranged in the middle of a lamp trough with an associated reflector basket 10, a plurality of mounting rails 4 with associated reflector baskets 10 arranged parallel to one another can also be arranged at a mutual distance in a common lamp trough.

Vorteilhaft bei der Erfindung ist also die Anordnung einer Montageschiene der modulare Aufbau der gesamten Wannenleuchte, wodurch es nun erstmals möglich ist, unterschiedliche Leuchtenwannen mit unterschiedlichen Montageschienen und dazugehörenden Reflektorkörben auf einfache Weise zu kombinieren, weil ein modularer Aufbau gegeben ist. Dies führt dazu, daß auch die unterschiedlichsten Leuchtmittel in dem Reflektorkorb 10 unterschiedlicher Abmessungen angeordnet werden können, und daß die Wannenleuchte für unterschiedlichste Größen von Deckenelementen ohne großen Konstruktionsaufwand realisiert werden können.The advantage of the invention is the arrangement of a mounting rail, the modular structure of the entire trough luminaire, which makes it possible for the first time to combine different luminaire trays with different mounting rails and associated reflector baskets in a simple manner because of a modular structure. This means that a wide variety of illuminants can be arranged in the reflector basket 10 of different dimensions, and that the diffuser luminaire can be implemented for a wide variety of sizes of ceiling elements without great design effort.

Vorstehend wurde beschrieben, daß die Wannenleuchte an einer Decke befestigt wird, und zwar als Einbauleuchte mit sichtbarem oder verdecktem Befestigungssystem (Fig. 1 rechts bzw. links) oder als Anbauleuchte (Fig. 2). Es ist aber auch möglich, eine Wandleuchte entsprechend zu gestalten. Gegebenenfalls kann auch einer der Reflektoren 6,7 entfallen.
