Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding device for fastening a recessed ceiling light in the recess of a suspended ceiling, the lamp body after positioning its lower edge of the case at the edge of the recess with each a height-adjustable swivel arm on the longitudinal recess of the ceiling recess Support profiles is supported.
  • Such holding devices usually consist of a support body, which on the side walls of the luminaire body, which run obliquely towards the ceiling is attached, a swivel arm which is guided in a height-adjustable manner in the supporting body and means for pressing the swivel arm onto the support profiles.
  • Such a holding device is known for example from DE 80 17 855 U1.
  • the swivel arm is initially turned by turning the screw spindle Swiveled 90 ° into one position over the support profiles and then by further turning moved downwards until the swivel arm with its contact edge on the support profiles lies firmly.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a holding device of the aforementioned type to avoid idling when rotating the swivel arm becomes.
  • the holding device should be simple and functional in construction. she should can also be made from plastic at the customer's request and from as few as possible Parts exist that can be assembled quickly and easily and are also easy to attach to the luminaire housing.
  • the swivel arm can be fitted with a locking lock integrated in the supporting body when installing the luminaire housing in the recess of the suspended ceiling very much quickly pull down to the support profile, which is when actuated several holding devices means a considerable saving of time.
  • the slide and the strap can advantageously be made in one piece Splash plastic while making swivel arm and support body both plastic and sheet metal is possible.
  • the holding device shown in the figures is used to fasten recessed ceiling lights in recesses in suspended ceilings, the luminaire housing being supported on the support profile along the length of the recess in the ceiling recess after installation of the lower edge of the housing at the edge of the recess.
  • the holding device is composed of a support body 1 ( FIG. 1), a swivel arm 2 (FIG. 3 ) that is guided in a height-adjustable manner therein, and a tensioning strap 3 (FIG. 2) that is displaceably guided in the support body 1 , which will be described in more detail below.
  • the support body 1 in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 consists of a rectangular frame 4 made of hard elastic plastic.
  • This frame 4 is formed from two long side walls 5 and two relatively short transverse walls 6, the side walls 5 being designed as an angular profile and the transverse walls 6 as a flat profile, and on the free edges 10 of the parallel legs 9 of the side walls 5 which run parallel to one another
  • Two anchoring feet 11 are formed with resilient locking fingers 12, which are used to fasten the support body 1 in the side wall 13 of the lamp body 14, which extends obliquely outwards toward the ceiling.
  • the free edges 8 of the legs 7 of the side walls lying in the same plane 5 have a somewhat larger distance "a" from one another than the width "b" of the Tensioning strap 3.
  • a locking lock 15 molded with an elastically spring-loaded latching tongue 16, which for insertion and locking the strap 3 is used.
  • a bracket 17 bridged through which the free end of the strap 3 after lashing of the swivel arm 2 can be returned .
  • the tensioning strap 3 shown in FIG. 2 is provided on its upper side with locking teeth 18 which, after inserting the bent insertion end 19 into the locking lock 15, interact with the locking tongue 16 in a known manner so that the tensioning strap 3 can only slide through in one direction, blocked in the other direction.
  • the strap 3 is integrally connected at its other end to a rectangular slide 20 which, as can be seen in FIG. 5, is slidably guided in the support body 1 between the vertical legs 9 of the side walls 5.
  • the carriage 20 is penetrated by a cylindrical sleeve 21 directed perpendicularly to the ceiling plane, which serves as a pivot bearing for the pivot arm 2 described below.
  • the swivel arm 2 shown in FIG. 3 consists of a double-T profile molded from plastic, the two short webs forming the support edges 29 and 30.
  • the swivel arm 2 is bent twice in the opposite direction, so that the two swivel arm sections 2a and 2b are offset parallel to one another.
  • the shorter section 2a is connected in one piece at its end to a torsion bar 22 projecting to both sides, the torsion bar 22 having a stepped, thicker rod area 23 along the length of the section 2a.
  • the torsion bar 22 is slotted at its free ends in the axial direction and has on both sides of the slots 24 a collar 25 which widens conically from the end and ends with a radially offset annular surface 26.
  • the springs '' When one of the two torsion bars 22 is inserted into the receiving sleeve 21, the springs '' first put together the two halves of the conical fret 25 until the fret 25 the Has penetrated the receiving sleeve 21. As soon as the thickened rod area 23 on the the upper edge of the sleeve 21 rests, the two halves spring back into their original Form back, the radial annular surface 26 the lower edge of the sleeve 21 engages behind. The swivel arm 2 is thus in the receiving sleeve by means of the torsion bar 22 21 axially immovable.
  • the swivel arm 2 has three around the thickened central torsion bar area 23 Ribs 27 running axially parallel, while the slide 20 above the sleeve 21 has a groove 28 protruding on the top of the frame, into which each of the three Ribs 27 engages when the swivel arm 2 is rotated accordingly.
  • the tensioning band 2 is first inserted in the direction of arrow "M" between the legs 7 of the side walls 5 into the locking lock 15 and pulled past the latching tongue 16 until the carriage 20 in the upper region of the support body 1 between the vertical ones Legs 9 of the side walls 5 are immersed and abut against the underside of the horizontal leg 7, as can be seen in FIG. 5 , and at the same time the receiving sleeve 21 protrudes beyond the horizontal leg 7. Then the swivel arm 2 is pushed with one of the two torsion bars 22 in the direction of arrow "D" into the receiving sleeve 21 until the radial annular surface 26 engages at the lower end of the receiving sleeve 21. As shown in FIG. 4 , the holding device is now fully assembled and can now be connected to the lamp body.
  • a fastening portion of the side wall 13 of the lamp housing 14 is shown, the side wall 13 generally extending obliquely to the ceiling plane and 14 stiffening the lamp housing has different gradations and a lower end edge 31 for contacting the ceiling, not shown.
  • oblong cutouts 32 are provided in the side walls 13 transversely to the longitudinal direction and are somewhat wider than the tensioning straps 3 .
  • Four square holes 33 are punched out on both sides of the cutouts 32, into which the anchoring feet 11 are inserted and locked with the locking fingers 12 on the back.
  • FIG. 7 shows the holding device after installation in the side wall 13 of the lamp housing 14, the anchoring feet 11 being guided into the square holes 33 in the direction of the arrows “Z” and being latched by means of the latching fingers 12 (FIG. 6).
  • the lower end 19 of the tensioning band 2 is pulled inwards by the cutout 32 and the swivel arm 2 is pivoted parallel to the side wall 13 and locked by engaging a rib 27 in the groove 28.
  • FIG. 8 shows how the luminaire housing is fastened in the case of support profiles 34 running longitudinally to the side wall 13 by rotating the swivel arm 2 by 90 ° and then pulling it down onto the support profile 34 by means of the tensioning band 3.
  • the kinked end 19 is pulled through the bracket 17 located below the lock 15, so that the strap 2 is brought up close to the inside of the side wall 13 in a space-saving manner.
  • FIG. 9 shows how the luminaire housing 14 is fastened with the support profiles 34 running transversely to the side wall 13, in that the swivel arm 2 is rotated 180 ° from its position when the luminaire housing is inserted into the ceiling recess and is then moved exactly as in FIG. 8 .
  • FIG. 10 another embodiment of the holding device is shown. This differs from the first described embodiment essentially in that the support body 1 'according to FIG. 10 and the swivel arm according to FIG. 12 are made of sheet metal, while the tensioning band 3 with the molded slide 20 according to FIG. 11 is made of plastic is like the strap 3 in Fig. 2nd
  • the support body 1 ' is also designed as a rectangular frame 35 and is consisting of two long side walls 36 and two short transverse walls 37 36 are designed as a z-shaped angle profile, while the transverse walls 37 are designed as flat bars.
  • two anchoring feet 38 are formed on the laterally protruding edges of the side walls 36.
  • the locking lock 15 is located at the lower end of the frame 35.
  • This lock 15 is formed by a spring tongue 39 which is resiliently formed on the transverse wall 37.
  • the latching tongue 39 presses with a latching edge 40 against a lower transverse web 41 and forms a passage for the tensioning band 3 by springing open.
  • the swivel arm 2 'shown in Figure 12 is also provided with a torsion bar 42 formed in both directions, from which two elastically compressible latching legs 43 are punched and formed just before the bar ends, which when the torsion bar 41 is inserted in the direction of arrow "D" into the Receiving sleeve 21 engage on the lower edge of the sleeve.
  • the pivot arm 2 ' is bent twice, as in FIG. 3 , so that the support edges 29 and 30 are offset from one another with respect to the center of the torsion bar 2'. This has the advantage that, depending on the direction of installation of the torsion bar 2 'into the receiving sleeve 21, the support edge 29 or 30 which matches the height of the support profile 34 is used.
  • a tab 44 is formed with a rotary slot 45.
  • the latter is intended to swivel arm 2 'after installation in the recess in the ceiling using a tool such as. a screwdriver to pivot into the desired position over the support profile 34 (see FIG. 8 or 9 ) or, in the case of removal, to pivot back into its original position (see FIG. 7 ).
  • FIG. 15 shows - just like FIG. 6 - a section of the side wall 13 of the lamp housing 14 with the recesses 46 to 48 matching the supporting body 1 ', the recesses 47 and 48 being intended for the anchoring feet 38 to snap into place.
  • the transverse edge 49 at the upper end of the elongated recess 46 serves the purpose that a locking finger 50 formed on the upper end of the supporting body engages behind this edge 49 and thus provides additional support when the supporting body 1 ', as indicated by the directional arrows "Z "indicated, is installed on the side wall 13.
