Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Lichtband-System der eingangs angegebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß eine einfache und insbesondere schnell durchführbare Montage der Drähte bzw. der Durchgangsverdrahtung sowie der zugehörigen Kupplungsteile in dem raümlich, beschränkten Hohlraum der Tragschiene gewährleistet wird.The invention has for its object a light band system of the type specified in such a way that a simple and in particular quick installation of the wires or through-wiring as well as the associated Coupling parts in the spatial, limited cavity of the mounting rail is guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungsmerkmale der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben. This object is advantageous by the features of claim 1 Training features of the invention are described in the subclaims.

Die Montage der Drähte mit dem wenigstens einen daran vorgefertigt angeordneten Kupplungsteil erfolgt dadurch, daß die Drähte längs in den Hohlraum der Tragschiene hineinbewegt werden. Dies kann durch Ziehen oder Schieben der Drahteinheit erfolgen. Letzteres ist aufgrund der Steifigkeit der Drähte möglich. Dabei können die Drähte eine bestimmte, an die Länge eines Lichtbandabschnitts angepaßte Länge aufweisen oder sie können von einem länger bemessenen Vorrat abgezogen werden, z.B. von einer Rolle abgerollt werden. Der Längsabstand der mit den Drähten verbundenen Kupplungsteile ist durch den Längsabstand der Ausnehmungen in der Deckenwand der Tragschiene bzw. durch die Länge der zugehörigen Leuchten des Lichtbandes bestimmt. Vorzugsweise sind die Kupplungsteile jeweils als Schlitten ausgebildet oder in einem Schlitten angeordnet, der längs durch die Tragschiene in eine Längsposition verschiebbar ist, in der die Kupplungsteile mit den zugehörigen Ausnehmungen bzw. zugehörigen Gegenkupplungsteilen der Leuchten übereinstimmen. Dabei kann durch eine Führung die Position dieser Steckverbindungsteile in der Querrichtung bestimmt werden. In der Längsrichtung kann die Position durch eine bestimmte Bewegungslänge bestimmt werden, die aufgrund des Bekanntseins der Position der wenigstens einen Ausnehmung vorbestimmt ist. Es ist auch möglich, diese Bewegungslänge durch einen Anschlag zu begrenzen, der, z.B. durch die Ausnehmung, in die. Tragschiene einschiebbar ist und durch Anschlag die Bewegung eines oder jedes Kupplungsteils begrenzt. Nach dem Einführen der sogenannten Verdrahtung können die Leuchten des Lichtbandes durch seitliches Ansetzen an die Tragschiene montiert werden, wobei an den Leuchten angeordnete Stecker als Gegenkupplungsteile mit den Kupplungsteilen durch Zusammenstecken verbunden werden. Die Kupplungsteile und die Gegenkupplungsteile sind vorzugsweise Steckverbindungsteile. In dieser Verbindungsstellung ist die Durchgangsverdrahtung mit den Kupplungsteilen durch die Gegenkupplungsteile arretiert. The assembly of the wires with the at least one prefabricated arranged thereon Coupling part takes place in that the wires lengthways into the cavity of the mounting rail be moved into it. This can be done by pulling or pushing the wire unit. The latter is possible due to the stiffness of the wires. The wires can be one certain length adapted to the length of a light band section or they can be deducted from a longer stock, e.g. from a roll unrolled. The longitudinal distance of the coupling parts connected to the wires is due to the longitudinal spacing of the recesses in the top wall of the mounting rail or determined by the length of the associated lights of the light strip. The coupling parts are preferably each designed as a slide or in one Slide arranged longitudinally through the mounting rail in a longitudinal position is displaceable, in which the coupling parts with the associated recesses or associated counter coupling parts of the lights match. It can by a guide determines the position of these connector parts in the transverse direction become. In the longitudinal direction, the position can be determined by a certain length of movement be determined based on the known position of the at least one Recess is predetermined. It is also possible to measure this length of movement by one Limit the stop, e.g. through the recess into which. rail can be inserted and by stop the movement of one or each coupling part limited. After introducing the so-called wiring, the lights of the The light strip can be mounted on the mounting rail by attaching it to the side the lights arranged plugs as mating coupling parts with the coupling parts be connected by plugging together. The coupling parts and the Counter coupling parts are preferably plug connection parts. In this Connection position is through-wiring with the coupling parts through the Counter coupling parts locked.

Ferner läßt sich die Verdrahtung aufgrund der axialen Einführung in den Hohlraum der Tragschiene insofern einfach und mit geringem Aufwand verwirklichen, als die Verdrahtung lediglich gezogen oder geschoben zu werden braucht. Bei den bekannten Montagemaßnahmen muß dagegen die Verdrahtung durch eine seitliche Einführbewegung in die Tragschiene montiert werden, was insbesondere bei größeren Längen eines Lichtbandabschnitts schwierig und aufwendig ist.Furthermore, the wiring due to the axial insertion into the cavity Realize the mounting rail simply and with little effort, as the wiring only needs to be pulled or pushed. With the known On the other hand, installation measures must be carried out by wiring from the side Insertion movement can be mounted in the mounting rail, which is particularly the case with larger ones Lengths of a light band section is difficult and expensive.

Leuchtenkörper 5 vorhanden sind, ist es zwecks Vermeidung einer Überlastung vorteilhaft, mehrere Phasenleiter der Durchgangsverdrahtung 11, z.B. drei Phasenleiter, hier die Drähte 12a, 12c, 12e und/oder 12f, 12h, 12j vorzusehen, an die die Leuchten in aufgeteilter Anzahl angeschlossen werden sollen. Für diesen Zweck ist dem Steckverbindungsteil 13a (nicht dargestellt) oder dem Steckverbindungsteil 13b eine Phasen-Wählvorrichtung 25 zugeordnet, die bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung durch eine Schiebeführung 26 für wenigstens einen Kontaktelelment-Halter für einen Steckerschaft 17 gebildet ist, wobei die Schiebeführung 26 vorzugsweise rechtwinklig zum Lichtband 1 wahlweise in die Position eines Phasenleiters verschiebbar und in dieser Verschiebeposition lösbar arretierbar ist. Hierzu ist der wenigstens eine Steckerschaft als Schieber 27 ausgebildet, der in der Schiebevorrichtung 26 am Körper des Steckverbindungsteils 13b manuell verschiebbar ist. Die Schiebevorrichtung ist durch eine sich quer zum Lichtband 1 erstreckende, insbesondere hinterschnittene Führungsnut 28 gebildet, in der der wenigstens ein Haller bzw. Steckerschaft 17 verschiebbar geführt ist, dessen Schieber 27 an die Querschnittsform der Führungsnut 28 angepaßt ist. Zum Arretieren in der gewünschten Schiebestellung, nämlich in der Kontaktposition mit dem gewünschten Phasenleiter, ist jeweils eine überdrückbare Klemm- oder Verrastungsvorrichtung 29 volgesenen mit einer Rastausnehmung 29a und einer in diese einfassenden Rastnase 29b, die beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel am Schieber 27 angeordnet ist oder umgekehrt.Since a plurality of luminaires or Luminaire body 5 are present, it is to avoid overloading advantageous to use several phase conductors of the through wiring 11, e.g. three phase conductors, here to provide the wires 12a, 12c, 12e and / or 12f, 12h, 12j to which the lights to be connected in divided numbers. For this purpose it is Connector part 13a (not shown) or the connector part 13b a Phase selection device 25 assigned by the present embodiment a sliding guide 26 for at least one contact element holder for one Plug shaft 17 is formed, the sliding guide 26 preferably at right angles to the light band 1 optionally in the position of a phase conductor and in this sliding position is releasably lockable. For this the at least one Plug shaft designed as a slide 27, which is in the sliding device 26 on the body of the connector part 13b is manually displaceable. The pusher is by an undercut that extends transversely to the light band 1 Guide groove 28 is formed, in which the at least one Haller or plug shaft 17th is slidably guided, the slide 27 to the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 28 is adjusted.

Steckerschäfte 17 an den Steckverbindungsteilen 13b aus Raumausnutzungsgründen in wenigstens zwei Reihen R1, R2 angeordnet. Bei einer Phasen-Wählvorrichtung ist es dabei vorteilhaft, daß in den Reihen R1, R2 jeweils zwei unverschiebbaren Steckerschäften 17 ein wenigstens über drei benachbarte Drähte 12 verschiebbarer Steckerschaft 17 folgt. Eine solche Anordnung läßt sich beim Vorhandenensein von nebeneinander angeordneten Steckverbindungsteilen dadurch in einfacher Weise verwirklichen, daß ein Steckverbindungsteil bezüglich des anderen um 180° verdreht angeordnet wird. Dies gilt sowohl für die Steckverbindungsteile 13a1, 13a2 als auch für die Steckverbindungsteile 13b1, 13b2.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the plug openings 14 are in the Plug connection parts 13a and the plugs or plug shafts 17 on the Plug connection parts 13b for space utilization reasons in at least two rows R1, R2 arranged. In the case of a phase selection device, it is advantageous that in the rows R1, R2 each have two immovable plug shafts 17 at least one Slidable plug shaft 17 follows over three adjacent wires 12. Such Arrangement can be arranged side by side in the presence Realize connector parts in a simple manner that a Plug connection part is arranged rotated by 180 ° with respect to the other.
