Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mounting rail for lights, according to the introductory part of claim 1.
  • a mounting rail is shown in CH 434 406 A.
  • Support rails designed according to the invention are advantageous Assign each face to face by a kind Plug-in system both electrically and mechanically with one another detachable.
  • the Cover strip simply inserted and releasably attached, it this is of particular advantage if the cover strip by means of a snap connection connected or connectable to the profile is.
  • the present mounting rail fulfills on the one hand due to the generally rectangular, especially square, exterior Profile advantageously the required supporting function in mechanical terms, and in the interior can - in himself conventionally - housed the electrical wiring which are also there where there are lights on the mounting rail can be attached or hung using the longitudinal mounting grooves, through holes in the profile at these points can be.
  • present mounting rail with low-voltage power rails too combine; in other words, there can be such busbars on the present mounting rail, for example rod-shaped support elements (via which the power supply is also closed) the busbars can be made) and attached to them Low-voltage tracks will then become the low-voltage lights appropriate.
  • cover strip already mentioned and longitudinal slot of the profile can be inventive Support rail provided per se that in discrete places at intervals from each other along the cover strip or Slot edges of matching recesses and locking projections be attached, or that simply on the cover strip hook-shaped locking projections are provided which cover the edges simply reach behind the respective longitudinal slot.
  • Support rail provided per se that in discrete places at intervals from each other along the cover strip or Slot edges of matching recesses and locking projections be attached, or that simply on the cover strip hook-shaped locking projections are provided which cover the edges simply reach behind the respective longitudinal slot.
  • the cover strip can also be used Move longitudinally to close the respective longitudinal slot the profile is pushed on or to expose the longitudinal slot be pushed off the profile.
  • the cover strip on at least one end face one with an end face circular opening and optionally with a Side slot provided for a fastening screw has, which is characterized by a on the end faces of the Profile and the cover strip of the flange of the (respective) Connecting part extends.
  • the profile on the opposite of the cover strip Long side with a front, generally circular Opening and optionally a side slot Recording for a fastening screw is provided. Accordingly, you can continue to look for the actual profile as well extruded profile sections used for the cover strip be where the receptacles for the mounting screws through strip-shaped continuous projections on the extruded profile are formed.
  • At least one end of the hollow profile in its interior final, generally plate-shaped end part detachable attached or attachable is also beneficial if at least one end of the hollow profile in its interior final, generally plate-shaped end part detachable attached or attachable.
  • a closing part in Form of a simple, smooth outside plate is appropriate a free end of a mounting rail of a lighting system appropriate.
  • the already mentioned, preferably provided screw receptacles on the profile or on the Cover molding can be used, and so is it of advantage if screws for fastening the end part are provided, which are through holes in marginal or Flange parts of the end parts and extend into the front Recordings on the inside of the cover strip and on the opposite long side of the profile are screwed.
  • Such a, generally simple, plate-shaped Concluding part is conveniently at all free ends of a Lighting system used with the present mounting rails, so an appealing, functional conclusion of the hollow To achieve profiles.
  • these end parts can also be designed such that an articulated connection between the mounting rails, and it is therefore particularly advantageous if the end part has a Joint is connected to another end part. It is it is conceivable that a universal joint or ball joint is provided, so that all-round swiveling guaranteed. However, this can result in the implementation problems with the electrical cables.
  • Alignment and horizontal mounting of the mounting rails is usually a swivel by one in the assembled state vertical pivot axis is sufficient, and accordingly it is in Further development of the last-mentioned embodiment in particular advantageous if the joint is a swivel joint, the Swivel axis in a passing through the longitudinal grooves Plane of symmetry of the profile. It can easily be a Training will be taken in the middle of the space for the implementation free from electrical cables.
  • the swivel joint by each two fork-shaped from the respective end part in the longitudinal direction of the profile protruding articulated arms is formed, with a Articulated bolts through a pair of articulated arms belonging together extends.
  • each connector can simply be one central, e.g. have a circular opening.
  • Figures 1 to 4 and 7, 1 generally designates one Carrier rail in a training as at least as currently is considered particularly cheap and preferable, and that a has a hollow profile 2, the one in a longitudinal side 2 ' has continuous longitudinal slot 3, which in the assembled state is filled by a flush cover strip 4, so that the support rail 1, seen in cross section, a closed rectangular, in particular square, outer contour having.
  • the profile 2 is on its top 5 and on its Bottom 6 ("top” and “bottom” refers to the position in the assembled state) each with an undercut, e.g. dovetail-shaped or T-shaped mounting longitudinal groove 7, which for accommodating one, the dimensions of the longitudinal groove 7 adapted square nut 7 ', which is used in the front respective longitudinal groove 7 can be inserted.
  • this square nut 7 'screws, threaded bolts or the like can be screwed in which, for their part, rod-shaped suspension or Support parts 8 or 8 'for fastening lights, spotlights, Busbars, power supply devices, in particular ballasts, or rods, ropes, chains, donations, etc. on one any place of the mounting rail 1 are provided.
  • the cover strip 4 is in the illustrated embodiment connected to the profile 2 via a snap connection 9, provided in the area of the longitudinal edges of the cover strip 4 is.
  • the cover strip 4 has on its longitudinal edges inward longitudinal ribs 10 on her free end are thickened, making one each Shallow depression or groove 11 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed, in which rounded, in the longitudinal direction extending projections 12 of the profile 2 at the edge of the longitudinal slot 3 can be locked, the profile 2 when pressed the cover strip 4 in the longitudinal slot 3 widened resiliently until the projections 12 snap into the grooves 11.
  • continuous projections 12 or locking grooves 11 could also be discrete locking projections or recesses be provided at spaced locations, however the continuous training with regard to the desired Production of the mounting rail 1 and the cover strip 4 as Extruded profiles preferred.
