Definitions
- the present invention relates to an accessory intended for assembling light rails so as to assemble them in L, T or X, the rails being of a model cut into sections and can be assembled end to end using connecting elements adapted to their cross-section, the accessory comprising on the one hand a support plate and said side walls fixed perpendicular to the support plate and forming with it a section whose shape is similar to that of the rails, the side walls and the support plate constituting together a kind of cross-shaped gutter, and on the other hand elements of connection whose functionality is identical to that of above elements allowing the end-to-end assembly of sections of rail, each intended for the connection of a section of rail with one of the branches of the said cross.
- a rail assembly accessory according to the preamble is known from document CH-B-428 939.
- the accessory according to this document allows to mechanically assemble gutters power supply in which we run electrical wires to power various devices, which do not are not necessarily luminaires, luminaires being in additionally incorporated into some of the gutters.
- An object of the invention is to make it easier to manufacture the accessories and to mount the rails by means of the accessories.
- the side walls are formed by means of angle-shaped elements assembled on the support plate, four of them constituting together the sort of gutter in the form of a cross, and assembly means are provided. for at least one of the angle-shaped elements, which are of a type such that this element is removable by an installer.
- the angle-shaped elements are constituted by three faces forming a triangular trihedron, with a triangular face applied to the support plate and two rectangular faces, the triangular face of the angle-shaped elements is provided with a first and a a second orifice, the first of which has a lateral protuberance facing the second orifice, and the support plate has two screws, the spacing of which corresponds substantially to the distance between the bottom of said protuberance and the axis of the second orifice.
- This embodiment allows economical manufacture and easy assembly / disassembly of the angle-shaped elements.
- Each rectangular face advantageously carries along its edge furthest from the triangular face a projecting part for retaining the edge of a connecting element.
- each of the connection elements comprises at least one electrical connector element allowing the electrical connection of a section of rail.
- the mounting of the rails is faster, since the mechanical assembly and the electrical connection are carried out in the same operation.
- a luminaire structure is remarkable in that it includes accessories according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows schematically two models of structure, to illustrate what the assembly accessories are used for.
- Figure 2 shows in detail an assembly accessory seen from the side of the angle-shaped elements.
- Figure 3 shows in exploded perspective all the elements of an assembly accessory.
- FIG. 4 represents a simple square structure, illustrating a difficulty in mounting this structure.

- the assembly accessory of FIG. 2 comprises on the one hand a support plate 10 and four angle-shaped elements assembled on the support plate and constituting with it a sort of gutter in the form of a cross, the center of the cross being in the center of the plate 10.
- These four elements are trihedra and each have two rectangular faces which constitute side walls fixed perpendicular to the support plate 10, faces indicated by the references respectively 110,111, 120,121, 130,131, 140,141, and each one face triangular indicated by the reference respectively 11, 12, 13, 14.
- the set of rectangular faces forms with the support plate a kind of gutter in the shape of a cross.
- the trihedron-shaped elements are assembled on the plate 10 by means of a type such that this element is removable by an installer.
- To the right of the figure is shown in perspective one of these elements in the form of a trihedron, with its triangular face 13 and its two rectangular faces 130 and 131.
- the face 13 is provided with a first orifice 20 and a second orifice 21
- the first orifice 20 has a lateral projection facing the second orifice.
- Each rectangular face 130, 131 of the angle-shaped element 13 carries along its edge furthest from the support plate a strip 19, folded outwards.
- This folding retains the upper lateral edge of one of the connecting elements 15 or 17.
- these retaining means for example two cutouts which each release a tongue folded outwards from the dihedral formed by planes 130, 131, or a stamp, can produce the same effect, provided that they provide a projecting part.
- the support plate 10 has two screws 22, 23 whose spacing corresponds substantially to the distance between the bottom of said protuberance and the axis of the second orifice, and whose head has the same diameter as that of the orifices 20, 21.
- connection elements 15, 17 comprises an electrical connector element respectively 16, 18 which allows the automatic connection of a section of rail when the connection element is pressed into it.
- Figure 3 shows an exploded view of an accessory with reference signs designating objects already mentioned.
- a cover 24 also makes it possible to hide the elements accessory techniques, after mounting the rails.
- Figure 5 illustrates the mounting of this last element in the case of an assembly accessory according to the invention.
- 1 we remove one of the four angle-shaped elements, and 2 a connecting element is pushed into the section horizontal.
- 3 we push the accessory assembly, provided with a connection element, in that rails which has no connecting element.
- 4 we replace the element in the form of angle iron that we had removed at the start.

Description
A cet effet les parois latérales sont constituées au moyen d'éléments en forme de cornière d'angle assemblés sur la plaque support, quatre d'entre eux constituant ensemble la sorte de gouttière en forme de croix, et des moyens d'assemblage sont prévus pour au moins un des éléments en forme de cornière, qui sont d'un type tel que cet élément soit amovible par un installateur.
De préférence les éléments en forme de cornière sont constitués par trois faces formant un trièdre trirectangle, avec une face triangulaire appliquée sur la plaque support et deux faces rectangulaires, la face triangulaire des éléments en forme de cornière est munie d'un premier et d'un second orifice dont le premier présente une excroissance latérale tournée vers le second orifice, et la plaque support présente deux vis dont l'écartement correspond sensiblement à la distance entre le fond de la dite excroissance et l'axe du second orifice.
Ce mode de réalisation permet une fabrication économique et un montage/démontage facile des éléments en forme de cornière.
Chaque face rectangulaire porte avantageusement le long de son bord le plus éloigné de la face triangulaire une partie saillante pour retenir le bord d'un élément de raccordement. Ce moyen pour immobiliser l'élément de raccordement est particulièrement simple.
Avantageusement chacun des éléments de raccordement comporte au moins un élément connecteur électrique permettant la connexion électrique d'un tronçon de rail.
Ainsi le montage des rails est plus rapide, puisque l'assemblage mécanique et la connexion électrique se font dans la même opération.
Une structure de luminaires est remarquable en ce qu'elle comporte des accessoires selon l'invention.
La figure 1 représente schématiquement deux modèles de mise en structure, pour illustrer à quoi servent les accessoires d'assemblage.
La figure 2 représente en détail un accessoire d'assemblage vu du côté des éléments en forme de cornière.
La figure 3 représente en perspective éclatée tous les éléments d'un accessoire d'assemblage.
La figure 4 représente une structure en carré simple, illustrant une difficulté de montage de cette structure.
La figure 5 illustre le montage d'un angle d'une structure.
La plaque support 10 présente deux vis 22, 23 dont l'écartement correspond sensiblement à la distance entre le fond de la dite excroissance et l'axe du second orifice, et dont la tête a le même diamètre que celui des orifices 20, 21. Pour mettre l'élément 13 en place, on fait passer dans l'orifice 20 la tête de la vis 23 à sa place mais desserrée, et on glisse la face triangulaire 13 vers le centre de la plaque ce qui fait passer la partie filetée de la vis 23 dans l'excroissance latérale de l'orifice 20 ; alors on peut enfoncer l'orifice 21 autour de la tête de la vis 22. Enfin on serre la vis 23. Chacun de ces éléments trièdres est équipé de la même manière. Ainsi chacun est facilement amovible par un installateur.
Chacun des éléments de raccordement 15, 17 comporte un élément connecteur électrique respectivement 16, 18 qui permet la connexion automatique d'un tronçon de rail lorsqu'on y enfonce l'élément de raccordement.
