Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet von Deckensteckdosen mit einem Aufhängehacken zum Anhängen von Leuchten. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung eine Deckensteckdose für Deckenleuchten mit einer Dose, einem darin aufgenommenen, elektrische Klemmkontakte aufweisenden, deckenseitig befestigbaren Trägerstück, an dem ein einen Verankerungsabschnitt aufweisender Aufhängehaken schwenkbar angelenkt ist.The invention relates to the field of ceiling sockets with a Hanging hooks for attaching lights. In particular concerns the invention a ceiling socket for ceiling lights with a box, an electrical clamping contacts accommodated therein, Ceiling-side mountable piece on which an anchoring section having suspension hook is pivotally articulated.

Eine solche Deckensteckdose ist aus der DE-GM 90 12 349.2 bekannt. Diese vorbekannte Deckensteckdose besteht aus einer im Deckenputz einsetzbaren bzw. bei Aufputzanordnung auf der Decke aufsetzbaren Dose, einem darin aufgenommenen, elektrische Klemmkontakte aufweisenden Trägerstück aus Kunststoff, einer darin festsetzbaren Abdeckplatte und einem abklappbaren Aufhängehaken, der am Trägerstück gehalten ist und durch die Abdeckplatte nach außen ragt. Der Aufhängehaken ragt durch einen T-förmigen Durchbruch der Abdeckplatte nach außen und läßt sich mit seinem Verankerungsteil in der Nichtgebrauchsposition in eine in die Abdeckplatte eingebrachte Einsenkung abklappen. In der Benutzungslage ist der Aufhängehaken in eine zur Abdeckplatte senkrechte Hängeposition schwenkbar.Such a ceiling socket is known from DE-GM 90 12 349.2. This known ceiling socket consists of one in the ceiling plaster can be used or can be placed on the ceiling with surface mounting, an electrical clamping contacts accommodated therein Carrier piece made of plastic with a cover plate that can be fixed in it and a hinged hook that is held on the carrier piece and protrudes through the cover plate to the outside. The hanging hook protrudes through a T-shaped opening of the cover plate to the outside and can be in with its anchoring part in the non-use position fold down a depression made in the cover plate. In the position of use is the suspension hook in a perpendicular to the cover plate Hanging position swiveling.

Das Verankerungsteil des Aufhängehakens ist zentriert bezüglich der Dose bzw. dem Trägerstück angelenkt, so daß der Aufhängehaken in seiner Gebrauchsposition mittig von der Deckensteckdose herabragt. Durch die zentrierte Anlenkung des Aufhängehakens ist der Radius einer solchen Deckensteckdose maßgeblich durch die Größe des Aufhängehakens bestimmt. Der Aufhängehaken läßt sich aufgrund der an diesen gestellten Anforderungen im Hinblick auf seine Lastaufnahme kaum kleiner dimensioniert ausgestalten, auch wenn man bestrebt ist, bei einer gleichgroßen Lastaufnahme eine möglichst kleine Deckensteckdose vorzusehen. Es ist erwünscht, Deckensteckdosen möglichst klein auszubilden, damit das Design einer Deckenleuchte nicht durch eine übergroße Deckensteckdose beeinträchtigt wird. The anchoring part of the suspension hook is centered in relation to the box or the carrier piece articulated so that the suspension hook in its Use position protrudes from the center of the ceiling socket. Through the centered articulation of the suspension hook is the radius of such Ceiling socket largely determined by the size of the hanging hook. The suspension hook can be placed on these Requirements with regard to its load bearing hardly dimensioned design, even if you are striving for an equal size Provide a ceiling socket that is as small as possible. It is desirable to make ceiling sockets as small as possible, so that the design a ceiling light not through an oversized ceiling socket is affected.

Aus der DE 27 30 859 A1 ist eine weitere Deckensteckdose bekannt. Diese vorbekannte Deckensteckdose umfaßt eine Einbaudose, in der mittig eine elektrische Steckdose angeordnet ist. Benachbart zu der Steckdose und somit außermittig ist ein Aufhängehaken vorgesehen, der durch die Einbaudose hindurch mit einem Dübel wandseitig befestigt ist.Another ceiling socket is known from DE 27 30 859 A1. This previously known ceiling socket includes a recessed box in the middle an electrical outlet is arranged. Adjacent to the outlet and thus off-center a suspension hook is provided, which by the Installation box is attached to the wall with a dowel.

Der Aufhängehaken weist ein Gelenk auf, mit dem dieser in einen Verankerungsabschnitt - derjenige Abschnitt der in den Dübel hineinreicht - und einen Aufhängeabschnitt - derjenige hakenförmige Abschnitt, an dem eine Leuchte aufhängbar ist - unterteilbar ist. Der Aufhängeabschnitt ist mit dem Verankerungsabschnitt über ein Gelenk verbunden, damit der Aufhängeabschnitt in seiner Nichtgebrauchsstellung flach auf der Oberseite der Steckdose aufliegt und in seiner Gebrauchsstellung ausgeschwenkt und nach unten ragend benachbart zur Steckdose angeordnet ist. Damit der Aufhängehaken, dessen Verankerungsteil neben der Steckdose angeordnet ist dennoch etwas zur Mitte der Steckdose hinreichend vorgesehen ist, weist dieser eine Abwinklung auf, so daß der Aufhängehaken in seiner Gebrauchsstellung Z-förmig ausgebildet ist.The suspension hook has a hinge with which it hangs into an anchoring section - the section that extends into the dowel - and a hanging section - the hook-shaped section on which one Luminaire can be suspended - can be divided. The hanging section is with connected to the anchoring section via a hinge so that the suspension section in its non-use position flat on the top the socket rests and swung out in its position of use and is arranged protruding downward adjacent to the socket. In order to the hanging hook, the anchoring part of which is arranged next to the socket something is still sufficiently provided to the middle of the socket is, this has an angle, so that the suspension hook in its use position is Z-shaped.

Nachteilig ist bei einer solchen Deckensteckdose, daß der Aufhängehaken nicht zentriert in seiner Gebrauchsstellung hinsichtlich der Steckdose angeordnet ist. Da jedoch erwünscht ist, eine Leuchte zentrisch unterhalb eines Baldachins anzuordnen, könnte eine solche betrachterseitige zentrische Anordnung dadurch herbeigeführt werden, daß entweder der Baldachin entsprechend groß ausgestaltet ist, so daß die Deckensteckdose exzentrisch bezüglich des Umfanges des Baldachins angeordnet ist oder daß durch die untere zentrische Öffung des Baldachins die Leuchte zentriert wird. Letzteres ist unbefriedigend da insbesondere bei größeren und schwereren Leuchten eine solche Korrektur durch einen Baldachin nicht möglich wäre. Das Vorsehen größerer Baldachine - wie für die erste Alternative benötigt - ist zumeist unerwünscht, da naturgemäß betrachterseitig die Leuchte und nicht der dieser Leuchte zugeordnete Baldachin optisch wirken soll.The disadvantage of such a ceiling socket is that the hanging hook not centered in its use position with respect to the socket is arranged. However, since it is desirable to have a lamp centrally below To arrange a canopy could be such a viewer centric Arrangement can be brought about by either the canopy is designed accordingly large, so that the ceiling socket is eccentric is arranged with respect to the circumference of the canopy or that the lamp is centered through the lower central opening of the canopy becomes. The latter is unsatisfactory especially with larger and heavier lights do not have such a correction by a canopy it is possible. The provision of larger canopies - as for the first alternative required - is mostly undesirable, since it is natural for the viewer the lamp and not the canopy assigned to this lamp optically should work.

Ausgehend von dem diskutierten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Deckensteckdose für Deckenleuchten bereitzustellen, die nicht nur für eine Verwendung mit einer großen Lastaufnahme verwendbar ist, sondern die zugleich eine möglichst geringe Dimensionierung aufweist.The invention is based on the state of the art discussed hence the task of a ceiling socket for ceiling lights to provide not just for use with a large load bearing is usable, but at the same time as low as possible Dimensioning has.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Verankerungsabschnitt des Aufhängehakens verschiebbar in einer Führung angeordnet ist, so daß der Verankerungsabschnitt aus einer Hänge- oder Gebrauchsposition in eine von dieser beabstandete Nichtgebrauchsstellung bewegbar ist.This object is achieved in that the anchoring section of the suspension hook slidably arranged in a guide is so that the anchoring portion from a hanging or use position in a non-use position spaced from this is movable.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Deckensteckdose ist vorgesehen, daß das Verankerungsstück des Aufhängehakens in seiner Hängeposition im wesentlichen mittig in Bezug auf die Dose bzw. das Trägerstück angeordnet ist. Da das Verankerungsstück jedoch nicht ortsfest angelenkt ist, sondern in einer Führung verschiebbar ist, kann der Aufhängehaken mit seinem Verankerungsstück in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung geschoben werden, wobei das Verankerungsstück in der Nichtgebrauchsstellung außermittig angeordnet ist. Das Verankerungsstück befindet sich in der Nichtgebrauchsstellung mit Abstand zu der im wesentlichen mittigen Hängeposition. Im Gegensatz zu der Deckensteckdose gemäß dem gewürdigten Stand der Technik bestimmt die Größe des Aufhängehakens nicht mehr maßgeblich den Radius der Deckensteckdose, sondern nur noch den Durchmesser derselben. Derartige Deckensteckdosen können daher wesentlich kleiner ausgestaltet sein als vorgenannte.In the ceiling socket according to the invention it is provided that Anchoring piece of the suspension hook in its hanging position essentially arranged centrally with respect to the can or the support piece is. However, since the anchor piece is not articulated, but rather is slidable in a guide, the suspension hook can with his Anchoring piece can be pushed into a non-use position, the anchor piece being off-center in the non-use position is arranged. The anchoring piece is in the non-use position at a distance from the essentially central hanging position. In contrast to the ceiling socket according to the appreciated State of the art no longer determines the size of the suspension hook significantly the radius of the ceiling socket, but only that Diameter of the same. Such ceiling sockets can therefore be essential be made smaller than the aforementioned.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, daß das Verankerungsstück T-förmig ausgebildet ist und zur Führung in ein U-förmig ausgebildetes Befestigungsstück eingreift, in dessen gegenüberliegende Schenkel jeweils eine langlochartige Durchbrechung eingebracht sind, durch deren eines Ende die Hängeposition und durch deren anderes Endes die Nichtgebrauchsstellung des Aufhängehakens bestimmt ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist eine solche langlochartige Führung von ihrer Hängeposition zur Nichtgebrauchsstellung zur Dose bzw. zur Decke hin geneigt ausgebildet. Eine solche Anordnung gewährleistet, daß der aufgeklappte Aufhängehaken sich zumindest unter Last immer in dem bestimmungsgemäßen hängepositionsseitigen Ende der Führung befindet.In one embodiment it is provided that the anchoring piece Is T-shaped and designed for guidance into a U-shaped Fastener engages in the opposite leg in each case a slot-like opening are introduced through the one end the hanging position and the other end the non-use position of the suspension hook is determined. Conveniently is such a slot-like guide from its hanging position to Non-use position inclined towards the can or towards the ceiling. Such an arrangement ensures that the open hook always at least under load in the intended hanging position side End of the tour.

Zur besseren Fixierung des Aufhängehakens in seiner Nichtgebrauchsstellung, ist in einer Weiterbildung vorgesehen, daß das nichtgebrauchsstellungsseitige Ende der langlochartigen Führung im Durchmesser im wesentlichen dem Durchmesser des Verankerungsstückes des Aufhängehakens entspricht. Die lichte Weite der übrigen Führungsabschnitte ist dagegen mit einem gewissen Spiel bezüglich des Durchmessers des Verankerungsstückes ausgebildet, um Verkantungen bei der Aufklappbewegung des Aufhängehakens zu verhindern.To better fix the suspension hook in its non-use position, is provided in a further development that the non-use position End of the slot-like guide in diameter in essentially the diameter of the anchoring piece of the suspension hook corresponds. The clear width of the remaining guide sections is on the other hand, with a certain amount of play regarding the diameter of the anchoring piece trained to cant when opening to prevent the hanging hook.

Es ist vorteilhaft, den Aufhängehaken gewinkelt auszubilden, wobei der Hakenabschnitt des Aufhängehakens winklig an das Verankerungsstück grenzt. Der Hakenabschnitt des Aufhängehakens läßt sich dann in seiner eingeklappten Stellung im wesentlichen bündig mit der Außenseite der Trägerstückabdeckung anordnen.It is advantageous to form the angled hook, the Hook section of the suspension hook at an angle to the anchor piece borders. The hook section of the hanging hook can then be in its folded position substantially flush with the outside of the Position the carrier piece cover.

From this Figure is also clear that the ceiling socket 1 a box 25th is assigned, which in the illustrated embodiment as a flush-mounted box is trained. The carrier piece is received in the can 25 5, on the one hand the electrical clamping contacts of those in FIG. 4 shows the terminal contact assigned to the protective conductor, and on the other hand the suspension hook 6 with a guide 26 Fastening piece 27 are assigned. The carrier piece 5 and the cover plate 4 are from a according to the German VDE standards Plastic made The fastening piece 27 is made of metal.

Die Führung 26 des Befestigungsstückes 27 ist als Langloch ausgebildet, in dem das Verankerungsteil 7 des Aufhängehakens 6 verschieblich geführt ist. Figur 4 zeigt den Aufhängehaken 6 in seiner eingeklappten Nichtgebrauchsstellung, so daß sich das Verankerungsteil 7 am nichtgebrauchsseitigen Ende 28 der gegenüberliegenden Führungen 26 befindet. Dieses Ende 28 ist in seiner Weite im wesentlichen an dem Durchmesser des Verankerungsteiles 7 angepaßt, damit der Aufhängehaken 6 in dieser Stellung fixiert ist, Die lichte Weite der übrigen Abschnitte der Führung 26 sind mit ausreichendem Spiel größer ausgebildet als der Durchmesser des Verankerungsteiles 7. Zur Gewährleistung, daß der Aufhängehaken 6 in seiner aufgeklappten Funktionsstellung an dem bestimmungsgemäßen Ende 29 angeordnet ist, ist die Führung 26, ausgehend von seinem Ende 29 zur Dose 25 hin geneigt ausgebildet.The guide 26 of the fastening piece 27 is designed as an elongated hole, in which the anchoring part 7 of the suspension hook 6 is slidably guided is. Figure 4 shows the hanging hook 6 in its folded Non-use position, so that the anchoring part 7 on the non-use side End 28 of the opposite guides 26 is located. This end 28 is essentially the same in diameter the anchoring part 7 adapted so that the suspension hook 6 in this Position is fixed, the clear width of the remaining sections of the guide 26th are larger than the diameter with sufficient play of the anchoring part 7. To ensure that the suspension hook 6 in its unfolded functional position on the intended Arranged end 29 is the guide 26, starting from its end 29 inclined towards the can 25.

In einer um 90 Grad versetzten Schnittebene ist die Deckensteckdose 1 nochmals in Figur 5 abgebildet. Aus dieser Figur ist die T-förmige Ausgestaltung des Verankerungsteiles 7 des Aufhängehakens 6 erkennbar. Der Aufhängehaken 6 befindet sich zusammen mit seinem Verankerungsteil 7 in der gezeigten Figur in seiner Hängeposition. An dem Haken 6 angehängt ist das obere Ende einer nicht weiter dargestellten Deckenleuchte. Zur deckenseitigen Befestigung des Trägerstückes 5 sind Befestigungsschrauben 30, von denen in Figur 5 eine erkennbar ist, vorgesehen. Die Befestigungsschrauben 30 durchgreifen auch dem Befestigungsstück 27 zugeordneten Befestigungslaschen 31, so daß die von dem Aufhängehaken 6 aufgenommene Kraft unmittelbar in die Decke abgeleitet wird.The ceiling socket is 1 in a cutting plane offset by 90 degrees shown again in FIG. 5. From this figure is the T-shaped configuration of the anchoring part 7 of the suspension hook 6 can be seen. The The suspension hook 6 is located together with its anchoring part 7 in the figure shown in its hanging position. Attached to the hook 6 is the upper end of a ceiling lamp, not shown. Fastening screws are provided for fastening the support piece 5 on the ceiling 30, of which one can be seen in FIG. 5, is provided. The Fastening screws 30 also reach through the fastening piece 27 assigned mounting tabs 31 so that the of the suspension hook 6 absorbed force is derived directly into the ceiling.

Aus der gezeigten Schnittdarstellung ist bezüglich eines Rastfußes 15 dessen Zusammenwirken mit einem Haltefuß 23 des Abdeckrahmens 2 ersichtlich. Aus diesem Zusammenspiel wird deutlich, daß der Abdeckrahmen 2 soweit bezüglich der Abdeckplatte 4 einrichtbar ist, daß der äußere Rand des Abdeckrahmens 2 auf der Deckenoberfläche aufliegt. Eine solche Einrichtbarkeit ist günstig, wenn die Dose 25 bereits eingebaut und der endgültige Deckenabschluß noch nicht aufgetragen worden ist. Für einen bündigen Abschluß der Dose 25 mit der Deckenoberfläche ist es nunmehr nicht notwendig, die letztendlich verwendete Deckenbeschichtung bereits beim Einbau der Dose 25 berücksichtigen zu müssen.The sectional view shown shows 15 with respect to a latching foot its interaction with a holding foot 23 of the cover frame 2 evident. From this interaction it becomes clear that the cover frame 2 as far as the cover plate 4 can be set up that the outer Edge of the cover frame 2 rests on the ceiling surface. A such setup is cheap if the box 25 is already installed and the final ceiling finish has not yet been applied. For it is a flush termination of the box 25 with the ceiling surface now not necessary, the ceiling coating used in the end to take into account when installing the box 25.

Der Baldachin 3 weist einen sich verjüngenden Einsteckrand 32 auf. Dieser Einsteckrand 32 ist in die Baldachinaufnahme 22 des Abdeckrahmens 2 eingesetzt und darin reibschlüssig gehalten. The canopy 3 has a tapered insertion edge 32. This Insert edge 32 is in the canopy receptacle 22 of the cover frame 2 used and held frictionally.
