    • Eine in Fig. 1 beschriebene Abgrenzungsleuchte 1 weist einen Leuchtkörper 2 auf, an dessen Enden 3,4 jeweils eine Kupplung 5 angeordnet ist. Um mehrere Leuchtkörper 2 miteinander verbinden zu können, ist am oberen Ende 3 des Leuchtkörpers 2 die Kupplung 5 als Kupplungsstecker 6 und am gegenüberliegenden unteren Ende 4 als Kupplungsdose 7 ausgebildet. Der Leuchtkörper 2 besteht aus einem schlauchförmigen, flexiblen und lichtdurchlässigen Material und ist zweckmäßigerweise in den gut sichtbaren Farben weiß, rot, grün, gelb oder orange ausgeführt. Der Leuchtkörper 2 kann zusätzlich noch fluoreszierende Partikel enthalten. In den Leuchtkörper 2 ist zu dessen Stabilisierung bzw. Versteifung ein Versteifungsprofil 8 eingebaut, welches in einer Ausnehmung 9 der Kupplung 5 Halt findet. Das eine dem lnnendurchmesser des Leuchtkörpers 2 entsprechende Breite aufweisende Versteifungsprofil 8 hat eine fluoreszierende Oberfläche und dient gleichzeitig als Träger von Lampen 10 und von dazugehörigen elektrischen Leitungen 11, welche an einem Ende des Versteifungsprofiles 8 in einen elektrischen Stecker 12 bzw. am anderen Ende in eine elektrische Dose 13 münden. Am unteren Ende 4 des Leuchtkörpers 2 ist ein, einen Kupplungsstecker 6 aufweisendes Sockelelement 14 vorgesehen, welches mit einer Aufstandsfläche 15 verbunden ist. Die sich im Kupplungsstecker 6 des Sockelelementes 14 befindliche elektrische Dose 13 ist mit einem Kabel 16 verbunden, das bei Betrieb der Leuchte 1 an eine hier nicht dargestellte Stromquelle angeschlossen wird. Das Sockelelement 14 bildet somit den Grundbaustein an den dann je nach gewünschter Höhe der Begrenzungsstange nahezu beliebig viele Leuchtkörper 2 angesteckt werden können. Am dem Sockelelement 14 gegenüberliegenden Ende einer solchen Reihe von aneinandergekuppelten Leuchten 1 ist eine Abschlußkupplung 17 vorgesehen. Diese ist als Kupplungsdose 7 ausgeführt und wird einfach auf den Kupplungsstecker 6 des letzten Leuchtkörpers 2 aufgesetzt, und schließt diesen wasserdicht ab.A demarcation lamp 1 described in FIG. 1 has a luminous element 2, at the ends 3, 4 of which a coupling 5 is arranged. Around To be able to connect several luminous elements 2 to one another is at the top End 3 of the lamp body 2, the coupling 5 as a coupling plug 6 and opposite lower end 4 formed as a coupling socket 7. Of the Luminous body 2 consists of a tubular, flexible and translucent Material and is expediently in the clearly visible colors white, red, green, yellow or orange. The luminous element 2 can additionally still contain fluorescent particles. In the filament 2 is too the stabilization or stiffening of which a stiffening profile 8 is installed, which is held in a recess 9 of the coupling 5. One thing Inner diameter of the filament 2 having a corresponding width Stiffening profile 8 has a fluorescent surface and serves at the same time as a support for lamps 10 and associated electrical lines 11, which at one end of the stiffening profile 8 in an electrical Plug 12 or at the other end into an electrical socket 13. At the The lower end 4 of the luminous element 2 is a coupling plug 6 Base element 14 is provided, which with a footprint 15 is connected. Which is in the coupling plug 6 of the base element 14 located electrical box 13 is connected to a cable 16, the when operating the lamp 1 connected to a power source, not shown here becomes. The base element 14 thus forms the basic building block depending on the desired height of the limiting rod many lamps 2 can be plugged in. On the base element 14 opposite end of such a series of coupled together Lights 1, a final coupling 17 is provided. This is as Coupling socket 7 is executed and is simply on the coupling plug 6 of the last filament 2, and closes it watertight.

    Um die Formstabilität der Leuchte 1 zu gewährleisten, besteht außer den be reits beschriebenen Versteifungsprofilen 8, die wahlweise durch Lösen einer Kupplung 5 entfernbar sind, noch eine andere Möglichkeit. Dadurch, daß das ganze System von Sockelement 14 und Leuchtkörpern 2 aus Sicherheitsgründen wasser- und damit auch luftdicht ausgeführt ist, kann man durch Aufbringen eines geringen Überdruckes in die Leuchte auf einfachste Weise Formstabilität erzielen. Dazu ist in der Abschlußkupplung 17 ein Druckluftventil 18 vorgesehen.In order to ensure the dimensional stability of the lamp 1, there is in addition to the be already described stiffening profiles 8, either by loosening one Coupling 5 are removable, yet another possibility. As a result of that the whole system of sock element 14 and luminous elements 2 for security reasons is water and therefore airtight, you can by Applying a slight overpressure in the luminaire in the simplest way Achieve dimensional stability. For this purpose, a compressed air valve is in the final coupling 17 18 provided.

    In Fig. 2 ist der Bereich der als wasserdichte Steckkupplung ausgebildeten Kupplung 5 von zwei Leuchten 1 näher dargestellt. An beide Kupplungsteile, also Kupplungsstecker 6 und Kupplungsdose 7, ist der schlauchförmige Leuchtkörper 2 durch jeweils einen Schraubring 19 fest und dicht angepreßt. Der Kupplungsstecker 6 weist einen Dichtring 20 auf, welcher das Innere von Kupplung 5 und Leuchtkörpern 2 gegenüber der Umgebung abdichtet. Ein Eindringen von Wasser oder Schmutz bzw. Staub ist somit ausgeschlossen. Der Dichtring 20 ist an seinem äußeren Umfang gegen die Kupplungsdose 7 gepreßt. An dieser ist ein Verschlußring 21 längsverschiebbar befestigt welcher einen in einer Nut 22 befindlichen Federring 23 aufweist. Beim Verbinden der Kupplung 5 wird zunächst der Kupplungsstecker 6 in die Kupplungsdose 7 eingeführt. Dann wird der Verschlußring 21 in Richtung Kupplungsstecker 6 verschoben. Durch einen Konus 24 am Kupplungsstecker 6 wird der Federring 23 gedehnt und rastet dann in einer Nut 25 am Kupplungsstecker 6 ein. Das Öffnen der Kupplung 5 erfolgt analog umgekehrt. Der Stecker 12 und die Dose 13 für die Kupplung der elektrischen Kabel 30 sind so in Kupplungsdose 7 und Kupplungsstecker 6 angeordnet, daß sie gleichzeitig bei dem beschriebenen Kupplungsvorgang verbunden werden.2 shows the area of the waterproof plug-in coupling Coupling 5 of two lights 1 shown in more detail. On both coupling parts, So coupling plug 6 and coupling socket 7 is the tubular one Luminous body 2 by a screw ring 19 firmly and tightly pressed. The coupling plug 6 has a sealing ring 20, which the inside of coupling 5 and filament 2 seals against the environment. This prevents water, dirt or dust from entering. The sealing ring 20 is on its outer circumference against the coupling socket 7 pressed. A locking ring 21 is attached to this in a longitudinally displaceable manner which has a spring ring 23 located in a groove 22. When connecting the coupling 5 is first the coupling plug 6 in the coupling socket 7 introduced. Then the locking ring 21 towards the coupling plug 6 postponed. Through a cone 24 on the coupling plug 6 the spring ring 23 is stretched and then engages in a groove 25 on the coupling plug 6 a. The clutch 5 is opened in the opposite manner. The plug 12 and the socket 13 for the coupling of the electrical cables 30 are arranged in coupling socket 7 and coupling plug 6 that they be connected simultaneously in the coupling process described.

    An den Schraubringen 29 sind jeweils ringförmige Befestigungselemente 26 vorgesehen. Diese dienen zur Aufhängung und Befestigung der Leuchte 1, besonders dann, wenn eine größere Anzahl von Leuchtkörpern 2 zu einer Leuchtkette zusammengekuppelt ist. Die Leuchte 1 wird dann mittels des Befestigungselementes 26 auf einfachste Weise über einen Haken 27 gehängt, welcher beispielsweise an einem Holzpflock 28 befestigt ist. Es ist auch möglich die Leuchte 1 mittels einer durch die Befestigungselemente 26 geführten und anschließend gespannten Schnur aufzuhängen.Annular fastening elements 26 are in each case on the screw rings 29 intended. These are used to hang and fix the lamp 1, especially when a larger number of filaments 2 to one Light chain is coupled together. The lamp 1 is then by means of Fastening element 26 hung in the simplest way via a hook 27, which is attached to a wooden stake 28, for example. It is the lamp 1 is also possible by means of a fastening element 26 hanging and then tensioned cord.

    Im Unterschied zu dem in Fig. 1 beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Leuchtkörper 2 hier mit einer Vielzahl kleiner Lampen 29 ausgestattet, welche durch ein Kabel 30 miteinander verbunden sind. Das Kabel 30 mündet wieder in Stecker 12 bzw. Dose 13, welche in der Kupplung 5 angeordnet sind.In contrast to the exemplary embodiment described in FIG. 1, the Luminous body 2 here equipped with a plurality of small lamps 29, which are connected by a cable 30. The cable 30 opens again in plug 12 or socket 13, which is arranged in the coupling 5 are.

    Fig. 3 zeigt ein Anwendungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte 1 bei einer Gleisbaustelle. Ein aus zwei Gleisen 31,32 bestehender Gleiskörper 33 ist aus Schwellen 34 und Schienen 35 aufgebaut. In strichpunktierten Linien ist stark vereinfacht für jedes Gleis 31,32 ein Lichtraumprofil 36 eingezeichnet. Sind nun beispielsweise am Gleis 31 Arbeiten bei gleichzeitigem Zugverkehr auf Gleis 32 durchzuführen, so ist es aus Sicherheitsgründen unbedingt erforderlich den Gefahrenbereich - in diesem Fall das Lichtraumprofil 36 vom Gleis 32 - abzugrenzen. Dies wird durch folgende einfache Anordnung erzielt. Am Sockelelement 14 der Leuchte 1 ist ein senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Leuchte 1 verlaufender Abstandhalter 37 angebracht, an dessen freiem Ende eine Klemmvorrichtung 38 vorgesehen ist. Diese Klemmvorrichtung 38 wird an dem Schienenfuß 39 der Schiene 33 befestigt. Dadurch, daß der Abstandhalter 37 dem horizontalen, senkrecht zur Gleislängsrichtung verlaufenden Abstand des Lichtraumprofiles 36 zur näher gelegenen Schiene 40 entspricht, wird der Lichtraumbereich durch diese Leuchten 1 genau abgegrenzt.3 shows an application example of the luminaire 1 according to the invention a track construction site. A track body consisting of two tracks 31, 32 33 is constructed from sleepers 34 and rails 35. In dash-dotted lines a clearance profile 36 is shown in a highly simplified manner for each track 31, 32. Are now 31 working on the track at the same time To carry out train traffic on track 32, it is essential for safety reasons required the danger zone - in this case the clearance profile 36 from track 32 - to be demarcated. This is done through the following simple arrangement achieved. At the base element 14 of the lamp 1 is perpendicular to Spacer 37 extending in the longitudinal direction of the lamp 1 is attached the free end of which a clamping device 38 is provided. This Clamping device 38 is fastened to the rail foot 39 of the rail 33. Because the spacer 37 is horizontal, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the track running distance of the clearance profile 36 to the closer Corresponds to rail 40, the clearance area through these lights 1 precisely delimited.

    Anstelle der hier beispielsweise detailliert beschriebenen Steck- oder Schnellkupplung sind natürlich alle anderen Arten von Kupplungen, beispielsweise auch eine Schraubverbindung, einsetzbar. Bedingt durch die konstruktive Gestaltung als Leuchtstab in unterschiedlichen Längen oder auch als wickelbares Schlauchmaterial mit Innenleuchten oder Versteifungsprofil können derartige Abgrenzungsleuchten tagsüber auch ohne Beleuchtung als gut sichtbare Baustellabgrenzung mit einer einem Absperrseil gleichen Wirkung dienen. Die Anwendung ist zusätzlich zu dem beschriebenen Gleisbaubereich auch in Baugruben, im Straßen-, Autobahn-, Tiefbau, usw. möglich.Instead of the plug or Quick couplings are of course all other types of couplings, for example also a screw connection can be used. Due to the constructive design as a light stick in different lengths or also as a windable tube material with interior lights or stiffening profile can use such demarcation lights during the day without lighting as a clearly visible demarcation of the construction site with the same as a rope Serve effect. The application is in addition to that described Track construction area also in construction pits, in road, highway, civil engineering, etc. possible.
