Abstract

In a wall-mounted lamp (1), a lamp body (2) is arranged, such that it can be swivelled and optionally removed, on a fastening plate (3) which projects like a base and is to be mounted on a wall. In this arrangement, the lamp body (2) overlaps the edge contour (3a) of the fastening plate (3) with its housing (2a) like a sheath in the finished assembly position. In order in the case of such a wall-mounted lamp (1) having a relatively heavy lamp body (2), to simplify the installation at the assembly site, a rigid lug (5) which is displaceably guided longitudinally in a plane parallel to the wall is arranged on the fastening plate (3). In its one end position, said lug has a freely accessible cutout (5b) with an edge strip (5c). The edge strip (5c) can be used to suspend the housing (2a), which is provided with a sleeve-shaped hook (2d), in a manner convenient for mounting and safe against dropping, and also to pivot it like a hinge. Thereafter, together with the suspended lamp body (2) the lug (5) can be displaced like a slide towards the middle of the fastening plate (3) until the housing (2a) can swivel with its open rear (2a') over the projecting edge contour (3a) of the fastening plate (3) as far as into the functioning position. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Haltevorrichtung einer Wandleuchte mit einer an einer Wand zu befestigenden, sockelartig vorstehenden Halteplatte und einem Leuchtenkörper, der seinerseits an der Halteplatte schwenkbar und wahlweise abnehmbar angeordnet ist, und der ein die Randkontur der Halteplatte hüllenartig übergreifendes Gehäuse aufweist.The invention relates to a holding device of a wall lamp with a base-like protruding holding plate to be fastened to a wall and a lamp body which in turn is arranged on the holding plate so as to be pivotable and optionally detachable, and which has a housing which overlaps the edge contour of the holding plate.

Derartige Wandleuchten mit einer bauseitig zu installierenden Halteplatte, an der der eigentliche Leuchtenkörper anschließend befestigt wird, sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Meist werden zur Halterung des Leuchtenkörpers Steck- und/oder Schraubverbindungen verwendet. Auch Scharnierhalterungen sind üblich, besonders bei Leuchten, die auch nach ihrer Installation ab und zu, beispielsweise zum Lampenwechsel, geöffnet werden müssen. Ein besonderes Problem bei all diesen Wandleuchten stellt zumeist der elektrische Anschluß dar, denn bei den entsprechenden Arbeiten wird der Leuchtenkörper überwiegend von Hand gehalten. Eine Einzelperson kann daher, besonders bei schweren Leuchtenkörpern, einen solchen Arbeitsgang kaum allein bewerkstelligen.Such wall lights with a mounting plate to be installed on site, to which the actual lamp body is then attached, are known in various designs. Plug and / or screw connections are usually used to hold the luminaire body. Hinge brackets are also common, especially for luminaires that have to be opened from time to time after they have been installed, for example when changing lamps. A special problem with all these wall lights is usually the electrical connection, because during the corresponding work the lamp body is mostly held by hand. Therefore, an individual can hardly accomplish such a work alone, especially with heavy luminaire bodies.

Um diesem Problem abzuhelfen und die elektrische Verbindung zum Leuchtenkörper zu vereinfachen, ist beispielsweise in der DE 36 25 466 C2 eine Befestigungsplatte vorgeschlagen worden, die eine Klemmleiste mit Steckkontakten aufweist. An der Platte sind seitliche Vorsprünge angeformt, und der Leuchtenkörper hat entsprechend zugeordnete Gegenvorsprünge, die beim seitlichen Aufschieben des Leuchtenkörpers die Platte hintergreifen und beide Teile miteinander zentrieren. Beim Aufschieben wird gleichzeitig der elektrische Kontakt über eine Steckverbindung hergestellt und eine Rastklinke verrriegelt Leuchtenkörper und Platte miteinander. Diese Art der Halterung des Leuchtenkörpers erfordert eine dünne, in ihren Konturen letztlich nicht erkennbare Halteplatte und außerdem Hinterschneidungen im Gehäuse, die aus herstellungstechnischen sowie formgestalterischen Gründen, besonders bei hochwertigen Leuchten, sich nicht ohne weiteres realisieren lassen.In order to remedy this problem and to simplify the electrical connection to the lamp body, a mounting plate has been proposed in DE 36 25 466 C2, for example, which has a terminal strip with plug contacts. Lateral projections are formed on the plate, and the lamp body has correspondingly assigned counter-projections which engage behind the plate when the lamp body is pushed on laterally and center both parts with one another. When sliding open, the electrical contact is made via a plug connection and a latch locks the luminaire body and plate together. This type of mounting of the luminaire body requires a thin holding plate, which is ultimately not recognizable in its contours, and also undercuts in the housing, which cannot be easily implemented due to manufacturing and design reasons, especially with high-quality luminaires.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, für eine Wandleuchte der eingangs genannten Art, insbesondere mit relativ schwerem Leuchtenkörper, eine Haltevorrichtung zu schaffen, die zweckmäßig und im Aufbau einfach gestaltet ist, eine sinnvolle Montage allein durch eine Person ermöglicht, und die bei einfacher Bedienung an der fertig installierten Wandleuchte von außen unsichtbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide for a wall lamp of the type mentioned, in particular with a relatively heavy lamp body, a holding device that is practical and simple in construction, allows a meaningful installation by one person alone, and with simple operation the completely installed wall lamp is invisible from the outside.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Haltevorrichtung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a holding device with the characterizing features of claim 1. Further developments and advantageous refinements of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung ist insofern vorteilhaft, als die Halteplatte ohne den Leuchtenkörper problemlos an einer Wand befestigt und elektrisch gefahrlos angeschlossen werden kann. Erst danach wird der um ein Vielfaches schwerere Leuchtenkörper mit seinem Haken in die Lasche eingehängt und selbsttätig gehalten, wobei er sich vorzugsweise etwa rechtwinklig an der Wand in einer Offenstellung abstützt. In dieser Stellung lassen sich die elektrische Verbindung über einen vorhandenen Steckanschluß zwischen Leuchtenkörper und Wandplatte einfach herstellen und auch Wartungsarbeiten durchführen. Lediglich durch Verschwenken des Leuchtenkörpers und gleichzeitiges vertikales Verschieben kann danach der Leuchtenkörper mit seiner offenen Rückseite über die Außenkontur der Halteplatte gehoben und an deren Oberseite selbsthaltend eingehängt sowie gesichert werden. Die Wandleuchte mit einer gestalterisch einwandfreien Ausbildung der Randfuge zwischen Leuchtenkörper und Halteplatte läßt sich somit von einer Person bequem und bedienungsfreundlich installieren.The invention is advantageous in that the holding plate can be easily attached to a wall without the lamp body and can be connected electrically without risk. Only then is the lamp body, which is many times heavier, hooked into the bracket and held automatically, preferably being supported approximately at right angles to the wall in an open position. In this position, the electrical connection can be easily established via an existing plug connection between the luminaire body and the wall plate, and maintenance work can also be carried out. Only by swiveling the luminaire body and simultaneously moving it vertically can the luminaire body with its open back be lifted over the outer contour of the holding plate and hooked and secured on the top of it. The wall lamp with a perfect design of the edge joint between the lamp body and the holding plate can thus be installed easily and easily by one person.

Anhand der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel nachstehend näher erläutert.

Fig. 1
zeigt schematisch das Einschwenken eines Leuchtenkörpers über die zugehörige Halteplatte in einer räumlichen Ansicht, während in
Fig. 2
das Einhaken des Leuchtenkörpers in die Halteplatte ebenfalls schematisch wiedergeben ist.
The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing.
Fig. 1
schematically shows the pivoting of a lamp body over the associated holding plate in a spatial view, while in
Fig. 2
the hooking of the lamp body in the holding plate is also shown schematically.

Die Haltevorrichtung ist Teil einer beispielhaft gezeigten Wandleuchte 1, die aus einem Leuchtenkörper 2 mit einer Halteplatte 3 gebildet ist. Der Leuchtenkörper 2 hat vorzugsweise ein prismatisches Gehäuse 2a zur Aufnahme eines nicht dargestellten Elektroblockes, sowie einen fest am Gehäuse angeordneten gewölbten Lichtkopf 2b mit einer zur indirekten Beleuchtung dienenden Lichtaustrittsfläche 2c an der Oberseite. Im fertig installierten Zustand übergreift das Gehäuse 2a mit seiner offenen Rückseite 2a' rahmenartig die an einer Wand 4 zu befestigende, sockelartig vorstehende Halteplatte 3, so daß deren umlaufende Randkontur 3a als Schattenfuge in der vom Gestalter vorgesehenen Breite sichtbar ist. Dabei besteht zwischen der Randkontur der Halteplatte 3 und der rückseitig offenen Innenkontur des Gehäuses 2a nur ein verhältnismäßig geringer Spalt. Dieser wird durch eine Lasche 5 ermöglicht, deren genaue Funktion bei dem noch zu beschreibenden Montagevorgang mit Schwenk- und Schubbewegungen entsprechend den eingezeichneten Pfeilen A, B, C näher erläutert wird.The holding device is part of a wall lamp 1 shown by way of example, which is formed from a lamp body 2 with a holding plate 3. Of the Luminaire body 2 preferably has a prismatic housing 2a for accommodating an electrical block (not shown), and a curved light head 2b arranged fixedly on the housing and having a light exit surface 2c on the upper side which serves for indirect lighting. In the fully installed state, the housing 2a engages with its open rear side 2a 'frame-like, the base plate projecting holding plate 3 to be fastened to a wall 4, so that its circumferential edge contour 3a is visible as a shadow gap in the width provided by the designer. There is only a relatively small gap between the edge contour of the holding plate 3 and the inner contour of the housing 2a, which is open at the rear. This is made possible by a tab 5, the exact function of which is explained in more detail in the assembly process to be described, with swiveling and pushing movements in accordance with the arrows A, B, C shown.

Die als ebenes Blechteil ausgebildete Lasche 5 hat an ihrer Oberseite zwei seitliche Ansätze 5a und an ihrer Unterseite einen derart angeordneten Ausschnitt 5b, daß lediglich ein schmaler Randstreifen 5c stehen bleibt, der praktisch als Scharnierbolzen wirksam ist. Geführt und gehalten ist die Lasche 5 in einem brückenartigen Steg 3b, der an der der Wand 4 abgekehrten Seite der Halteplatte 3 angeformt ist, und der den parallelen Mittelteil der Lasche übergreift. Dabei dienen die seitlichen Ansätze 5a als Anschlag für die untere Endstellung (Fig. 2). In dieser Stellung befindet sich der Ausschnitt 5b der Lasche unterhalb der Halteplatte 3 und ist frei zugänglich, so daß ein an der Unterseite des Gehäuses 2a angeordneter Haken 2d über den Randstreifen 5c einhakbar ist und dabei praktisch eine Scharnierhülse bildet. Der nahezu geschlossene Haken 2d ist so geformt, daß in der unteren Endstellung der Lasche 5 zwar ein bequemes manuelles Einhaken des Leuchtenkörpers von der Wandseite her möglich, ein selbsttätiges Ausklinken im Schwenkbereich des Gehäuses von etwa 90 Grad jedoch ausgeschlossen ist.The tab 5 designed as a flat sheet metal part has on its upper side two lateral projections 5a and on its underside a cutout 5b arranged in such a way that only a narrow edge strip 5c remains, which is practically effective as a hinge pin. The tab 5 is guided and held in a bridge-like web 3b which is formed on the side of the holding plate 3 facing away from the wall 4 and which engages over the parallel central part of the tab. The side lugs 5a serve as a stop for the lower end position (Fig. 2). In this position, the cutout 5b of the tab is located below the holding plate 3 and is freely accessible, so that a hook 2d arranged on the underside of the housing 2a can be hooked over the edge strip 5c and practically forms a hinge sleeve. The almost closed hook 2d is shaped so that in the lower end position of the tab 5 a comfortable manual hooking of the lamp body from the wall side is possible, but an automatic release in the pivoting range of the housing of about 90 degrees is excluded.

Nach dem Einhängen des Gehäuses in die Lasche 5 kann der Leuchtenkörper 2 durch Verschwenken von Hand im Sinne des Pfeiles A um den als Scharnierachse wirkenden Randstreifen 5c und gleichzeitiges Verschieben im Sinne des Pfeiles B soweit angehoben werden, daß die offene Rückseite 2a' die Vorderseite 3c der Halteplatte 3 vollständig abdeckt (gemäß Fig. 1). Bei diesem Vorgang wird die vom Steg 3b gehaltene Lasche 5 schlittenartig in Richtung Mitte der Halteplatte 3 verschoben, so daß der Ausschnitt 5b jetzt über die geschlossene Vorderseite 3c der Halteplatte zu liegen kommt. Dabei ist zwischen Randstreifen 5c und Vorderseite 3c der Halteplatte gerade soviel Spiel, daß der Haken 2d zwar noch drehbeweglich ist, ein nicht mehr tolerierbares Abheben oder sogar ein Aushaken des Gehäuses jedoch ausgeschlossen ist.After hanging the housing into the tab 5, the lamp body 2 can be raised by swiveling by hand in the direction of arrow A around the edge strip 5c acting as a hinge axis and simultaneous displacement in the direction of arrow B until the open rear side 2a ' completely covers the front side 3c of the holding plate 3 (according to FIG. 1). In this process, the tab 5 held by the web 3b is shifted like a sled in the direction of the center of the holding plate 3, so that the cutout 5b now comes to rest on the closed front side 3c of the holding plate. There is just so much play between edge strip 5c and front side 3c of the holding plate that hook 2d is still rotatable, but no longer tolerable lifting or even unhooking of the housing is excluded.

Das auf vorbeschriebene Art einseitig von der Lasche gehaltene Gehäuse greift sodann mit seiner Oberseite 2e über die obere Randkontur der Halteplatte 3 und liegt danach dort auf. Vorzugsweise faßt dabei das Gehäuse mit einer nicht gezeigten Hinterschneidung lagegenau über einen Gewindeansatz 3d an der Halteplatte und ist somit in der Betriebslage selbsttätig gehalten. Durch anschließendes Hineindrehen einer Schraube 6 gemäß Pfeil C in eine entsprechende nicht gezeigte Freimachung des Gehäuses erfolgt lediglich eine Sicherung des Leuchtenkörpers.The housing held on one side by the tab in the manner described above then engages with its upper side 2e over the upper edge contour of the holding plate 3 and then lies there. Preferably, the housing with an undercut, not shown, fits precisely in position via a threaded projection 3d on the holding plate and is thus automatically held in the operating position. By subsequently screwing a screw 6 according to arrow C into a corresponding clearing of the housing (not shown), the luminaire body is merely secured.

Bei der Installation der Wandleuchte 1 wird die zunächst vom Leuchtenkörper 2 getrennte Halteplatte 3 über lediglich angedeutete Lang- bzw. Schlüssellöcher 3e, beispielsweise mittels Dübeln und Schrauben, an der Wand 4 befestigt. Dabei werden auch die bauseits verlegten elektrischen Leitungen 4a durch entsprechende Kabeleinführungen von der Rückseite her an eine Netzanschlußklemme 3f der Halteplatte geführt und angeschlossen. An die fest angebrachte Halteplatte 3 kann nunmehr von oben die Lasche 5, sofern sie noch als loses Teil beiliegt, in den brückenartigen Steg 3b eingesetzt werden und fällt durch ihr Gewicht selbsttätig in ihre untere Endstellung (Fig. 2). Anschließend kann der Leuchtenkörper von einer Person mit dem Haken 2d in die Lasche 5 eingehängt werden, wonach er sich mit seiner Unterseite 2f etwa rechtwinklig bis gegen die Wand 4 abklappen läßt und dort vorübergehend zur Anlage gelangt. In dieser abgeklappten Stellung läßt sich die elektrische Verbindung von der Anschlußklemme 3f über ein vorverdrahtetes Steckbuchsenteil 2g zum Elektroblock des Gehäuses herstellen. Auch ein Lampenwechsel oder andere Wartungsarbeiten an der Wandleuchte sind in dieser Stellung bequem möglich. Danach kann der Leuchtenkörper im Sinne der Pfeile A und B auf die bereits beschriebene Weise in die Betriebsstellung gebracht werden. Abschließend ist lediglich der Leuchtenkörper mittels der Schraube 6 zu sichern. Die gesamte Befestigung des Leuchtenkörpers an der Halteplatte bzw. an der Wand ist somit praktisch unsichtbar, zuverlässig und auf gestalterisch optimale Weise gelöst.When the wall lamp 1 is installed, the holding plate 3, which is initially separated from the lamp body 2, is fastened to the wall 4 via merely indicated oblong or key holes 3e, for example by means of dowels and screws. In this case, the electrical lines 4a installed on site are also routed and connected from the rear to a mains connection terminal 3f of the holding plate by means of corresponding cable entries. On the fixed mounting plate 3, the tab 5, if it is still included as a loose part, can now be inserted into the bridge-like web 3b from above and automatically falls into its lower end position due to its weight (FIG. 2). Subsequently, the lamp body can be hung by a person with the hook 2d into the tab 5, after which it can be folded down at a right angle to the wall 4 with its underside 2f and temporarily comes to rest there. In this folded-down position, the electrical connection from the connection terminal 3f to the electrical block of the housing can be established via a pre-wired socket part 2g. A lamp change or other maintenance work on the wall lamp is also easily possible in this position. After that the lamp body can be brought into the operating position in the manner of arrows A and B in the manner already described. Finally, only the lamp body is to be secured by means of screw 6. The entire attachment of the luminaire body to the holding plate or to the wall is thus practically invisible, reliable and solved in a design-optimal manner.
