Definitions
- the invention relates to a fastener, especially for recessed lighting in retracted ceilings, walls, panels and the like. Under recessed lights are understood here lighting fixture, which are installed in ceilings, walls or the like. Installed.
- a generic arrangement for fastening a lighting fixture which consists of a hollow cylindrical body with a cover at one end.
- the end cover accommodates the lamp socket, and it also makes contact with the electrical connections.
- At its other, open end of the hollow cylindrical body is provided with a flange, which comes to rest during installation in a wall or ceiling opening on the edge.
- a plurality of slots are arranged opposite each other, each lying in the longitudinal direction in a row one above the other. In these slots about U-shaped bent leaf springs are inserted so that their ends protrude from the cylinder wall. During assembly, the spring ends should resiliently come to rest on the wall of the wall or ceiling opening, or else engage behind a panel provided with an opening in order to hold the whole in it.
- the installation of the arrangement is cumbersome and requires a lot of skill and dexterity.
- the cylindrical body and lamp socket can not be pre-assembled and installed as a unit.
- the cylindrical body must be inserted into the intended wall or ceiling opening and the springs must be pushed from the inside with their ends through the slots and placed in position to hold the cylinder in the opening can. Only then can the lamp holder be plugged in.
- the spring ends should not hinder the insertion of the cylinder into the opening, then they should hold him in position.
- This manipulation with the springs in which at the same time the cylinder has to be brought into its position and held, is cumbersome and time-consuming and will often fail on the first and in further attempts.
- European patent application publication no. EP 0 840 060 A2 shows a fixture for lighting fixtures consisting essentially of a non-isosceles V bent leaf spring articulated to the end of the shorter leg close to the opening of a cup-shaped housing of the fixture.
- the end of the longer leg is bent at right angles and also has a protruding nose at a certain distance from the end.
- a substantially cylindrical stop member is arranged in the top or in the bending point of the V.
- Two or more of such clamping springs are arranged on the outer circumference of the housing of the lighting fixture, wherein in the preassembled state, the longer leg of the leaf spring projects through a slot in the housing into the interior and the stop member bears against the outside of the housing; the leaf spring is still tensionless.
- the housing In order to mount the lighting fixture on a panel, the housing is inserted into a designated opening until it rests with a molded edge on the panel. Thereafter, the longer leg of the leaf spring is pushed outwardly through the slot until the abutment abuts the bending point of the V on the back of the panel, and it is pushed further until the protruding lance jumps through the slot and engages outside the housing. wherein the longer leg bends excitingly to exert a force on the panel which holds the housing of the lighting fixture in the panel.
- clamping springs can be used only together with a specially designed, just the pot-shaped housing of a lighting fixture and that they are only suitable for mounting such a fixture on panels or retracted false ceilings, because the clamping springs can only be effective, if they can grab behind a panel or ceiling tile. For attachment in a cylindrical opening of a normal wall or ceiling, they are unsuitable, which makes this solution ultimately expensive.
- the clamping springs must be pressed by hand from the inside of the housing to the outside. In order to have the space necessary for this manipulation, the actual installations, such as lamp holder, etc., can be retrofitted and not pre-installed, which requires uncomfortable overhead work when mounted on a ceiling.
- the object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and secure fastening means for recessed lighting, which is easy to handle and universally used together with various designs of recessed lights and any walls or ceilings, including panels and if necessary, a simple disassembly of a recessed light allowed.
- the fastening means consists of two parts, namely a claw plate with roughly rectangularly projecting claws and a longer spring plate compared to the claw plate, which has a first section with a flat surface and a second section with a longitudinally curved surface in the longitudinal direction, that at the free end of the section with a flat surface a tongue and at the free end of the portion with a curved surface locking projections for the resilient engagement on the circumference of a lamp or lamp housing are provided and that in the preassembled state of the fastener, the claw plate is slidably held on the spring plate with her pointing away claws in the region of the flat surface portion and longitudinally and the bent portion of the spring plate away from the claw plate.
- the entire assembly can be inserted into a correspondingly sized mounting hole, wherein after the stop at the edge of the mounting hole, the claw plate on the flat portion of the spring plate, as on an inclined plane, is pushed down toward the bent portion and so their claws finally bite in the peripheral surface of the mounting hole.
- the claw plate has a latching opening near its lower edge and in the spring plate a resiliently projecting from its section with curved surface spring blade is cut at the free end of a locking lug is formed which engages in this latching hole and thereby biases the spring blade when the claw plate on the spring plate is moved towards the section with curved surface.
- the position of the claw plate is secured to the spring plate after mounting the lamp and thus the seat of the lamp in the mounting hole. If at some point there is a need to remove the lamp from the mounting hole, it is sufficient with a simple tool, e.g. a screwdriver to disengage the engagement of the latch in the Einrastö réelle to just as easily pull out the lamp can.
- the tongue is angled or bent at the free end of the flat portion of the spring plate, and the claw plate has an opening which is slightly wider than the spring plate; From the side edges of this opening protrude transversely into this opening, which are attacked by the spring plate when preassembled claw plate and spring plate.
- a bridge-like bridge can cross the opening. So the claw plate is held securely on the spring plate and guided when moving.
- the tongue is bent at the free end of the flat portion of the spring plate V-shaped and on the free V-leg is formed a nose for engagement with the housing of a lamp or lamp.
- An abutment which comes into contact with the mounting at the edge of a mounting hole can be provided on the lower edge of the claw plate.
- a holder for a decorative strip or a lampshade can be provided on the lower edge of the claw plate.
- This stop and this holder can be provided in that the lower edge of the claw plate is bent in the same direction as the claws at right angles and is divided into two lateral Operaabschitte and a central portion, the lateral sections form stops for the edge of a mounting hole and the middle Section again bent back U-shaped and forms the holder for a trim strip or a lampshade.
- the fastener 20 consists of two parts, namely a rectangular in its basic form and relatively wide, for example, approximately square, claw plate 1 of FIG. 1 and in its basic form also rectangular, but significantly narrower and longer spring plate 2 as shown in FIG. 4.
- the claw plate 1 has a punched-out opening 3 , which is subdivided into an upper section 3a and a lower, broader section 3b , so that a step 4 results on both sides at the transition from section 3a to section 3b .
- the wider section 3b may be interrupted again approximately at its half height by a transversely extending web, or protrude according to FIG. 1 at half the height of the opening 3 from its two side edges projections 5 in the opening 3 into it.
- Both side edges of the claw plate 1 are flanged at right angles and provided with sawtooth-shaped claws 7 (see also Fig. 2). Also at its upper edge 8 , the claw plate 1 is bent at an angle in the direction of the sawtooth-shaped claws 7 , and the lower edge is bent at right angles, this bent portion of the lower edge is divided by punching into two narrow, lateral sections and a broader, middle sections; the two lateral sections form stops 9a for the edge of a mounting hole 22, and the middle section is again bent back in a U-shape and forms a holder 9b for a trim strip 24 or a lampshade (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 10b and 10c).
- the spring plate 2 is shown in Fig. 4 is little narrower than the lower portion 3b of the opening 3 in the claw plate 1.
- a central tongue 10 is punched, which is bent to a rounded V, wherein in the free V-leg 10a an outwardly projecting nose 11 is formed (see Fig. 5).
- a central expression 12 which projects in the opposite direction to the V of the tongue 10 .

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Befestigungsmittel, insbesondere für Einbauleuchten in eingezogenen Decken, Wänden, Paneelen und dergl. Unter Einbauleuchten werden hier Beleuchtungskörper verstanden, die in Decken, Wänden oder dergl. versenkt zu installieren sind.The invention relates to a fastener, especially for recessed lighting in retracted ceilings, walls, panels and the like. Under recessed lights are understood here lighting fixture, which are installed in ceilings, walls or the like. Installed.
Durch die Europäische Patentanmeldung mit der Veröffentlichungsnr. 0 145 680 A2 ist eine gattungsgemäße Anordnung zur Befestigung eines Beleuchtungskörpers bekannt, die aus einem hohlzylindrischen Körper mit einem Abschlussdeckel an seinem einen Ende besteht. Der Abschlussdeckel nimmt die Lampenfassung auf, und an ihm wird auch der Kontakt zu den elektrischen Anschlüssen hergestellt. An seinem anderen, offenen Ende ist der hohlzylindrische Körper mit einem Flansch versehen, der bei der Montage in einer Wand- oder Deckenöffnung auf deren Rand zur Auflage kommt. In der Wand des zylindrischen Körpers sind einander gegenüberliegend mehrere Schlitze angeordnet, die jeweils in Längsrichtung in einer Reihe übereinander liegen. In diese Schlitze sind etwa U-förmig gebogene Blattfedern so eingesetzt, dass ihre Enden aus der Zylinderwand herausragen. Bei der Montage sollen die Federenden an der Wand der Wand- oder Deckenöffnung federnd zur Anlage kommen oder auch hinter ein mit einer Öffnung versehenes Paneel greifen, um das Ganze darin zu festzuhalten.By the European patent application with the publication no. No. 0 145 680 A2, a generic arrangement for fastening a lighting fixture is known, which consists of a hollow cylindrical body with a cover at one end. The end cover accommodates the lamp socket, and it also makes contact with the electrical connections. At its other, open end of the hollow cylindrical body is provided with a flange, which comes to rest during installation in a wall or ceiling opening on the edge. In the wall of the cylindrical body a plurality of slots are arranged opposite each other, each lying in the longitudinal direction in a row one above the other. In these slots about U-shaped bent leaf springs are inserted so that their ends protrude from the cylinder wall. During assembly, the spring ends should resiliently come to rest on the wall of the wall or ceiling opening, or else engage behind a panel provided with an opening in order to hold the whole in it.
Die Installation der Anordnung ist umständlich und erfordert einiges an Geschick und Fingerfertigkeit. Der zylindrische Körper und die Lampenfassung können nicht vormontiert und als Einheit installiert werden. Zunächst muss der zylindrische Körper in die vorgesehene Wand- oder Deckenöffnung eingeschoben werden und die Federn müssen von innen mit ihren Enden durch die Schlitze geschoben und in Position gebracht werden, um den Zylinder in der Öffnung halten zu können. Erst danach kann auch die Lampenfassung eingesteckt werden. Einerseits dürfen die Federenden beim Einschieben des Zylinders in die Öffnung nicht hinderlich sein, danach sollen sie ihn in Position halten. Diese Manipulation mit den Federn, bei der gleichzeitig der Zylinder in seine Position gebracht und gehalten werden muss, ist umständlich und zeitraubend und wird beim ersten und auch bei weiteren Versuchen häufig misslingen.The installation of the arrangement is cumbersome and requires a lot of skill and dexterity. The cylindrical body and lamp socket can not be pre-assembled and installed as a unit. First, the cylindrical body must be inserted into the intended wall or ceiling opening and the springs must be pushed from the inside with their ends through the slots and placed in position to hold the cylinder in the opening can. Only then can the lamp holder be plugged in. On the one hand, the spring ends should not hinder the insertion of the cylinder into the opening, then they should hold him in position. This manipulation with the springs, in which at the same time the cylinder has to be brought into its position and held, is cumbersome and time-consuming and will often fail on the first and in further attempts.
Die Europäische Patentanmeldung mit der Veröffentlichungsnr. EP 0 840 060 A2 zeigt ein Befestigungsmittel für Beleuchtungskörper, das im wesentlichen aus einer zu einem ungleichschenkligen V gebogenen Blattfeder besteht, die mit dem Ende des kürzeren Schenkels nahe an der Öffnung eines topfförmigen Gehäuses des Beleuchtungskörpers mit diesem gelenkig verbunden ist. Das Ende des längeren Schenkels ist rechtwinklig abgebogen und weist außerdem in einem gewissen Abstand zu dem Ende eine vorspringende Nase auf. In der Spitze oder im Biegepunkt des V's ist ein im wesentlichen zylindrisches Anschlagteil angeordnet. Zwei oder mehrere solcher Klemmfedern sind am Außenumfang des Gehäuses des Beleuchtungskörpers angeordnet, wobei im vormontierten Zustand der längere Schenkel der Blattfeder durch einen Schlitz im Gehäuse ins Innere ragt und das Anschlagteil außen am Gehäuse anliegt; die Blattfeder ist noch spannungslos. Um den Beleuchtungskörper an einem Paneel zu montieren, wird das Gehäuse in eine dafür vorgesehene Öffnung eingeschoben, bis es mit einem angeformten Rand am Paneel anliegt. Danach wird der längere Schenkel der Blattfeder durch den Schlitz von Hand nach außen geschoben, bis das Anschlagteil am Biegepunkt des V's auf der Rückseite des Paneels anschlägt, und er wird weiter geschoben, bis die vorspringende Nase durch den Schlitz springt und außen am Gehäuse angreift, wobei sich der längere Schenkel spannend biegt, so dass eine auf das Paneel gerichtete Kraft ausgeübt wird, die das Gehäuse des Beleuchtungskörpers im Paneel hält.European patent application publication no. EP 0 840 060 A2 shows a fixture for lighting fixtures consisting essentially of a non-isosceles V bent leaf spring articulated to the end of the shorter leg close to the opening of a cup-shaped housing of the fixture. The end of the longer leg is bent at right angles and also has a protruding nose at a certain distance from the end. In the top or in the bending point of the V, a substantially cylindrical stop member is arranged. Two or more of such clamping springs are arranged on the outer circumference of the housing of the lighting fixture, wherein in the preassembled state, the longer leg of the leaf spring projects through a slot in the housing into the interior and the stop member bears against the outside of the housing; the leaf spring is still tensionless.

Thereafter, the longer leg of the leaf spring is pushed outwardly through the slot until the abutment abuts the bending point of the V on the back of the panel, and it is pushed further until the protruding lance jumps through the slot and engages outside the housing. wherein the longer leg bends excitingly to exert a force on the panel which holds the housing of the lighting fixture in the panel.
Hauptnachteil dieser Lösung ist, dass diese Art Klemmfedern nur zusammen mit einem speziell ausgebildeten, eben dem topfförmigen Gehäuse eines Beleuchtungskörpers verwendbar ist und dass sie sich nur zur Befestigung eines solchen Beleuchtungskörpers an Paneelen oder eingezogenen Zwischendecken eignen, denn die Klemmfedern können ihre Wirkung nur entfalten, wenn sie hinter ein Paneel oder eine Deckenplatte greifen können. Zur Befestigung in einer zylindrischen Öffnung einer normalen Wand oder Decke sind sie ungeeignet, das macht diese Lösung letztendlich auch teuer. Außerdem müssen auch in diesem Fall die Klemmfedern von Hand vom Innern des Gehäuses aus nach außen gedrückt werden. Um den für diese Manipulation notwendigen Raum zur Verfügung zu haben, können die eigentlichen Installationen, wie Lampenfassung usw., erst nachträglich angebracht und nicht vorinstalliert werden, was beim Anbringen an einer Decke ein unbequemes Arbeiten über Kopf erfordert.The main drawback of this solution is that this type of clamping springs can be used only together with a specially designed, just the pot-shaped housing of a lighting fixture and that they are only suitable for mounting such a fixture on panels or retracted false ceilings, because the clamping springs can only be effective, if they can grab behind a panel or ceiling tile. For attachment in a cylindrical opening of a normal wall or ceiling, they are unsuitable, which makes this solution ultimately expensive. In addition, in this case, the clamping springs must be pressed by hand from the inside of the housing to the outside. In order to have the space necessary for this manipulation, the actual installations, such as lamp holder, etc., can be retrofitted and not pre-installed, which requires uncomfortable overhead work when mounted on a ceiling.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein preiswertes und sicheres Befestigungsmittel für Einbauleuchten zu schaffen, das einfach zu handhaben ist und universell zusammen mit verschiedenen Ausgestaltungen von Einbauleuchten und an beliebigen Wänden oder Decken, einschließlich Paneelen einsetzbar ist und das im Bedarfsfall auch eine einfache Demontage einer Einbauleuchte erlaubt.The object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and secure fastening means for recessed lighting, which is easy to handle and universally used together with various designs of recessed lights and any walls or ceilings, including panels and if necessary, a simple disassembly of a recessed light allowed.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht,
dass das Befestigungsmittel aus zwei Teilen, nämlich einer Krallenplatte mit etwa rechtwinklig abstehenden Krallen und einer im Vergleich zur Krallenplatte längeren Federplatte besteht, die einen ersten Abschnitt mit ebener Fläche und einen zweiten Abschnitt mit in Längsrichtung rund gebogener Fläche aufweist,
dass am freien Ende des Abschnitts mit ebener Fläche eine Zunge und am freien Ende des Abschnitts mit gebogener Fläche Einrastfortsätze für den federnden Eingriff am Umfang eines Lampen- oder Leuchtengehäuses vorgesehen sind und
dass im vormontierten Zustand des Befestigungsmittels die Krallenplatte auf der Federplatte mit von ihr wegweisenden Krallen im Bereich des Abschnitts mit ebener Fläche und in Längsrichtung verschiebbar gehalten ist und der gebogene Abschnitt der Federplatte von der Krallenplatte wegweist.This is achieved according to the invention by
in that the fastening means consists of two parts, namely a claw plate with roughly rectangularly projecting claws and a longer spring plate compared to the claw plate, which has a first section with a flat surface and a second section with a longitudinally curved surface in the longitudinal direction,
that at the free end of the section with a flat surface a tongue and at the free end of the portion with a curved surface locking projections for the resilient engagement on the circumference of a lamp or lamp housing are provided and
that in the preassembled state of the fastener, the claw plate is slidably held on the spring plate with her pointing away claws in the region of the flat surface portion and longitudinally and the bent portion of the spring plate away from the claw plate.
Wenn mindestens zwei solcher Befestigungsmittel vorzugsweise gleichmäßig beabstandet am Umfang eines Lampen- oder Leuchtengehäuses angeordnet werden, so kann die gesamte Anordnung in ein entsprechend dimensioniertes Montageloch eingeschoben werden, wobei nach dem Anschlag am Rand des Montagelochs die Krallenplatte auf dem ebenen Abschnitt der Federplatte, wie auf einer schiefen Ebene, nach unten in Richtung auf deren gebogenen Abschnitt geschoben wird und so ihre Krallen sich schließlich in der Umfangsfläche des Montagelochs festbeißen. Damit kann die Leuchte als Ganzes, d.h. mit allen notwendigen Installationen, wie Lampenfassung und elektrischen Anschlüssen usw., in einfachster Weise und ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs in kurzer Zeit, mit wenigen Handgriffen sicher montiert werden.If at least two such fasteners are preferably arranged evenly spaced around the circumference of a lamp or lamp housing, the entire assembly can be inserted into a correspondingly sized mounting hole, wherein after the stop at the edge of the mounting hole, the claw plate on the flat portion of the spring plate, as on an inclined plane, is pushed down toward the bent portion and so their claws finally bite in the peripheral surface of the mounting hole. Thus, the lamp as a whole, ie with all the necessary installations, such as lamp holder and electrical connections, etc., in the simplest way and without the aid of a tool in a short time, can be mounted safely with a few simple steps.
Vorteilhafterweise weist die Krallenpatte nahe ihrer Unterkante eine Einrastöffnung auf und in die Federplatte ist eine von ihrem Abschnitt mit gebogener Fläche federnd abspringende Federlamelle eingeschnitten, an deren freiem Ende eine Rastnase ausgebildet ist, die in diese Einrastöffnung einrastet und dabei die Federlamelle spannt, wenn die Krallenplatte auf der Federplatte in Richtung auf den Abschnitt mit gebogener Fläche verschoben wird. So ist die Position der Krallenplatte auf der Federplatte nach der Montage der Leuchte gesichert und damit auch der Sitz der Leuchte im Montageloch. Sollte irgendwann der Bedarf bestehen, die Leuchte aus dem Montageloch wieder zu entfernen, so genügt es mit einem einfachen Werkzeug, z.B. einem Schraubenzieher, den Eingriff der Rastnase in der Einrastöffnung zu lösen, um die Leuchte genauso einfach herausziehen zu können.Advantageously, the claw plate has a latching opening near its lower edge and in the spring plate a resiliently projecting from its section with curved surface spring blade is cut at the free end of a locking lug is formed which engages in this latching hole and thereby biases the spring blade when the claw plate on the spring plate is moved towards the section with curved surface. Thus, the position of the claw plate is secured to the spring plate after mounting the lamp and thus the seat of the lamp in the mounting hole. If at some point there is a need to remove the lamp from the mounting hole, it is sufficient with a simple tool, e.g. a screwdriver to disengage the engagement of the latch in the Einrastöffnung to just as easily pull out the lamp can.
Wenn in der Federplatte im Übergangsbereich von ihrem Abschnitt mit ebener Fläche zu ihrem Abschnitt mit gebogener Fläche eine Ausprägung vorgesehen ist, die im vormontierten Zustand des Befestigungsmittels in dieselbe Einrastöffnung eingreift oder mit leichter Spannung an der Fläche der Krallenplatte anliegt, so ist die Position der Krallenplatte auf der Federplatte auch im vormontierten Zustand gesichert, was die Handhabung der Anordnung sehr erleichtert und vereinfacht.If an expression is provided in the spring plate in the transition region from its flat surface portion to its arcuate surface portion which engages in the same snap-in aperture in the preassembled state of the fastener or bears against the surface of the claw plate with light tension, the position of the claw plate is secured on the spring plate in the preassembled state, which greatly facilitates and simplifies the handling of the arrangement.
Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Zunge am freien Ende des ebenen Abschnitts der Federplatte abgewinkelt oder abgebogen, und die Krallenplatte weist eine Öffnung auf, die geringfügig breiter ist als die Federplatte; von den Seitenkanten dieser Öffnung ragen Fortsätze quer in diese Öffnung, die von der Federplatte untergriffen werden, wenn Krallenplatte und Federplatte vormontiert werden. An Stelle der Fortsätze kann auch ein brückenartiger Steg die Öffnung queren. So wird die Krallenplatte auf der Federplatte sicher gehalten und beim Verschieben geführt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the tongue is angled or bent at the free end of the flat portion of the spring plate, and the claw plate has an opening which is slightly wider than the spring plate; From the side edges of this opening protrude transversely into this opening, which are attacked by the spring plate when preassembled claw plate and spring plate. Instead of the extensions, a bridge-like bridge can cross the opening. So the claw plate is held securely on the spring plate and guided when moving.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Zunge am freien Ende des ebenen Abschnitts der Federplatte V-förmig abgebogen und an dem freien V-Schenkel ist eine Nase für den Eingriff am Gehäuse einer Lampe oder Leuchte ausgebildet.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tongue is bent at the free end of the flat portion of the spring plate V-shaped and on the free V-leg is formed a nose for engagement with the housing of a lamp or lamp.
Ein Anschlag, der bei der Montage am Rand eines Montagelochs zur Anlage kommt kann an der Unterkante der Krallenplatte, vorgesehen sein. Außerdem kann an der Unterkante der Krallenplatte eine Halterung für eine Zierleiste oder einen Leuchtenschirm vorgesehen sein.An abutment, which comes into contact with the mounting at the edge of a mounting hole can be provided on the lower edge of the claw plate. In addition, a holder for a decorative strip or a lampshade can be provided on the lower edge of the claw plate.
Dieser Anschlag und diese Halterung können dadurch vorgesehen sein, dass die Unterkante der Krallenplatte in dieselbe Richtung wie die Krallen rechtwinklig abgebogen ist und in zwei seitliche Teilabschitte und einen mittleren Teilabschnitt unterteilt ist, wobei die seitlichen Teilabschnitte Anschläge für den Rand eines Montagelochs bilden und der mittlere Teilabschnitt nochmals U-förmig zurückgebogen ist und die Halterung für eine Zierleiste oder einen Leuchtenschirm bildet.This stop and this holder can be provided in that the lower edge of the claw plate is bent in the same direction as the claws at right angles and is divided into two lateral Teilabschitte and a central portion, the lateral sections form stops for the edge of a mounting hole and the middle Section again bent back U-shaped and forms the holder for a trim strip or a lampshade.

Das Befestigungsmittel 20 besteht aus zwei Teilen, nämlich einer in ihrer Grundform rechteckigen und verhältnismäßig breiten, z.B. annähernd quadratischen, Krallenplatte 1 gemäß Fig. 1 und einer in ihrer Grundform ebenfalls rechteckigen, aber deutlich schmaleren und längeren Federplatte 2 gemäß Fig. 4. Die Krallenplatte 1 weist eine ausgestanzte Öffnung 3 auf, die in einen oberen Abschnitt 3a und einen unteren breiteren Abschnitt 3b unterteilt ist, so dass sich am Übergang von Abschnitt 3a zu Abschnitt 3b beidseitig eine Stufe 4 ergibt. Der breitere Abschnitt 3b kann etwa auf seiner halben Höhe nochmals durch einen sich quer erstreckenden Steg unterbrochen sein, bzw. es ragen gemäß Fig. 1 in halber Höhe der Öffnung 3 von ihren beiden Seitenkanten Fortsätze 5 in die Öffnung 3 hinein. Unterhalb der Öffnung 3 befindet sich nochmals eine kleinere, rechteckige Einrastöffnung 6. Beide Seitenkanten der Krallenplatte 1 sind rechtwinklig umgebördelt und mit sägezahnförmigen Krallen 7 versehen (siehe auch Fig. 2). Auch an ihrer Oberkante 8 ist die Krallenplatte 1 in Richtung der sägezahnförmigen Krallen 7 winklig abgekantet, und die Unterkante ist rechtwinklig abgebogen, wobei dieser abgebogene Teil der Unterkante durch Stanzen in zwei schmale, seitliche Teilabschnitte und einen breiteren, mittleren Teilabschnitte unterteilt ist; die zwei seitlichen Teilabschnitte bilden Anschläge 9a für den Rand eines Montagelochs 22, und der mittlere Teilabschnitt ist nochmals U-förmig zurückgebogen und bildet eine Halterung 9b für eine Zierleiste 24 oder einen Leuchtenschirm (siehe Fig. 9 sowie Fig. 10b und 10c).The
Die Federplatte 2 ist gemäß Fig. 4 wenig schmaler als der untere Abschnitt 3b der Öffnung 3 in der Krallenplatte 1. An ihrem oberen Ende ist eine mittige Zunge 10 ausgestanzt, die zu einem abgerundeten V gebogen ist, wobei in dem freien V-Schenkel 10a eine nach außen vorspringende Nase 11 ausgebildet ist (s. Fig. 5).The
Etwa auf halber Länge der Federplatte 2 befindet sich eine mittige Ausprägung 12, die in entgegengesetzter Richtung zum V der Zunge 10 vorragt. Die Federplatte 2 unterteilt sich in einen ersten Abschnitt 2a, der eine ebene Fläche aufweist, und einen zweiten Abschnitt 2b, dessen Fläche in Längsrichtung, unterhalb der Ausprägung 12 beginnend, einer runden Kurve folgend abgebogen ist; dieser gebogene Abschnitt 2b endet in zwei seitlichen Einrastfortsätzen 13. Außerdem ist unterhalb der Ausprägung 12 eine vom gebogenen Abschnitt 2b abspringende, mittige Federlamelle 14 eingeschnitten, die im spannungslosen Zustand der Federplatte 2 weiter der ebenen Fläche des Abschnitts 2a folgt und deren freies Ende abgekröpft und mit einer Rastnase 15 versehen ist.Approximately half the length of the
Fig. 6 zeigt in einer den Fig. 1 und 4 entsprechenden Ansicht das aus der Krallenplatte 1 und der Federplatte 2 vormontierte Befestigungsmittel 20 nach der hier beschriebenen Ausführungsform. Dazu wurde die Federplatte 2 mit ihrem vorderen Ende und ihrer Zunge 10 voraus unter die quer in die Öffnung 3 der Krallenplatte 1 hineinragenden Fortsätze 5 geschoben, bis die Ausprägung 12 in die Einrastöffnung 6 unterhalb der Öffnung 3 der Krallenplatte 1 federnd einrastet. In diesem vormontierten Zustand, wie er in Fig. 7 für die Krallenplatte 1 mit ausgezogenen Linien dargestellt ist, wird das Befestigungsmittel 20 dem Leuchtenhersteller geliefert. Beim Leuchtenhersteller werden dann mindestens zwei, vorzugsweise drei, dieser Befestigungsmittel 20 gleichmäßig verteilt am Umfang einer Leuchte selbst, bzw. eines Lampengehäuses 16, angebracht, wie es in Fig. 7 in Bezug auf eines der Befestigungsmittel 20 angedeutet ist. Und zwar wird dazu zum einen die V-förmig gebogene Zunge 10 am oberen Ende der Federplatte 2 in ein dafür im Lampengehäuse 16 vorgesehenes Loch 17 so eingeschoben, dass die an dem freien V-Schenkel 10a ausgebildete Nase 11 hinter den Rand des Loches 17 greift, und zum anderen werden die am unteren, kurvig gebogenen Ende der Federplatte 2 ausgebildeten Einrastfortsätze 13 in entsprechende Aussparungen 18 am winklig abgebogenen Rand 19 des Lampengehäuses 16 eingerastet (siehe auch Fig. 8), wobei der Federplatte 2 eine gewisse Spannung gegeben wird, die das Befestigungsmittel 20 am Lampengehäuse 16 an ihrem Platz hält. In dieser Anordnung bildet der ebene Abschnitt 2a der Federplatte 2 eine schiefe Ebene, auf der die Krallenplatte 1 in Richtung auf den gebogenen Abschnitt 2b und damit radial nach außen verschoben werden kann.FIG. 6 shows, in a view corresponding to FIGS. 1 and 4, the fastening means 20 preassembled from the
In den Fig. 10a bis 10c ist schematisch dargestellt, wie eine mit zwei solchen Befestigungsmitteln 20 ausgerüstete Leuchte 21 im Montageloch 22 einer eingezogenen Decke 23 oder eines Paneels montiert wird.FIGS. 10 a to 10 c show schematically how a
Wie in Fig. 10a und 10b angedeutet, befinden sich die Befestigungsmitteln 20 in der oben beschriebenen vormontierten Stellung. Für die Montage braucht die Leuchte 21 lediglich zusammen mit den an ihrem Umfang angebrachten Befestigungsmitteln 20 in ein entsprechend dimensioniertes Montageloch 22 eingeschoben werden. Dabei kommen gemäß Fig. 10b zunächst die Anschläge 9a der Unterkante der Krallenplatte 1 am Rand des Montagelochs 22 zur Anlage. Wird die Leuchte 21 weiter in das Montageloch 23 gedrückt, so löst sich an den Befestigungsmitteln 20 jeweils der Eingriff der an der Federplatte 2 vorgesehenen Ausprägung 12 aus der Einrastöffnung 6 der Krallenplatte 1, und die Krallenplatte 1 rutscht beim weiteren Einschieben der Leuchte 21 auf der schiefen Ebene des Abschnitts 2a der Federplatte 2 nach unten, bis die Rastnase 15 am freien Ende der von der Federplatte 2 vorspringenden Federlamelle 14 in dieselbe Einrastöffnung 6 der Krallenplatte 1 einrastet, wobei die Federlamelle 14 auf den kurvenförmig gebogenen Abschnitt 2b der Federplatte 2 zugebogen und gespannt wird (siehe dazu auch die Krallenplatte 1 und die Federlamelle 14 in strichlierten Linien in Fig. 7 sowie Fig. 9). Dabei beißen zugleich die Krallen 7 der Krallenplatte 1 in die Umfangsfläche des Montagelochs 22 federnd ein und klammern sich darin fest (siehe Fig. 9 und 10c), so dass die Leuchte 21 schließlich darin festgeklemmt ist. Durch den Eingriff der Rastnase 15 in die Einrastöffnung 6 und die Spannung der Federlamelle 14 wird diese Position gehalten. Danach wird üblicherweise noch ein Zierleistenring 24 oder auch ein Leuchtenschirm, z.B. in Form einer Scheibe, in die U-förmig zurückgebogene Halterung 9b an der Unterkante der Krallenplatte 1 eingesetzt.As indicated in FIGS. 10a and 10b, the attachment means 20 are in the preassembled position described above. For assembly, the
Soll die Leuchte 21 irgendwann einmal wieder abgenommen werden, so genügt es, mit einem einfachen Werkzeug, z.B. mit einem Schraubenzieher, den Eingriff der Rastnase 15 zu lösen; wird die Leuchte 21 herabgezogen, gleitet die Krallenplatte 1 wieder auf die ebene Fläche der Federplatte 1 und die Krallen 7 lösen sich von selbst aus dem Montageloch 22.
