Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einbauleuchte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a recessed luminaire according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Einbauleuchte dieser Art ist in der DE 43 44 431 A1 beschrieben. Dies bekannte Einbauleuchte weist einen Grundrahmen auf, bestehend aus einem Montagering, der im axialen Querschnitt mit einem koaxialen Rohrstutzen und einem davon nach außen abstehende Flanschteil winkelförmig geformt ist, wobei sich vom der Abstrahlrichtung abgewandten Rand des Rohrstutzens drei Streben bogenförmig zu einer gemeinsamen Firstzone erstrecken, an der der Reflektor lösbar befestigt ist.A recessed light of this kind is in the DE 43 44 431 A1 described. This known recessed luminaire has a base frame, consisting of a mounting ring which is formed angularly in axial cross-section with a coaxial pipe socket and an outwardly projecting flange part, extending from the radiation direction facing away from the edge of the pipe stub three struts arcuate to a common ridge zone, where the reflector is releasably attached.

Zum wahlweisen Anbau eines Halterings für Zusatzbauteile an der der Lichtquelle abgewandten Seite des Montageringes sind Verbindungsmittel in Form eines Verbindungsringes für den Haltering vorgesehen. Der Verbindungsring weist an seiner dem Montagering zugewandten Seite axial abstehende Schnapphaken auf, die hinter zugehörigen Verrastungkanten an der Innenseite des Rohrstutzens verrastet sind, wobei die Schnapphaken sich in einen Zwischenraum zwischen dem Rohrstutzen und der Seitenwand des Reflektors befinden. Der Ringkörper des Verbindungsringes weist eine U-förmige Querschnittsform auf. Im durch die U-Form gebildeten Hohlraum des Verbindungsringes sind im Bereich von axialen Aussparungen drei auf den Umfang verteilt angeordnete Spannhebel schwenkbar gelagert, mit denen an den Achsen der Spannhebel angeordnete Haltearme radial schwenkbar gelagert sind. Mit den Haltearmen läßt sich der Haltering an der Seite des Verbindungsringes anmontieren, die dem Montagering abgewandt ist. Der Haltering dient der Halterung von Zusatzbauteilen, wie eine Glasscheibe od. dgl., die sich vor der Abstrahlöffnung der Leuchte befindet.For selectively mounting a retaining ring for additional components on the side facing away from the light source side of the mounting ring connecting means are provided in the form of a connecting ring for the retaining ring. The connecting ring has on its side facing the mounting ring axially projecting snap hooks which are latched behind associated Verrastungkanten on the inside of the pipe socket, wherein the snap hooks are in a space between the pipe socket and the side wall of the reflector. The annular body of the connecting ring has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape. In the formed by the U-shape cavity of the connecting ring three circumferentially distributed clamping lever are pivotally mounted in the region of axial recesses, with which arranged on the axes of the clamping lever support arms are mounted radially pivotable. With the support arms, the retaining ring can be mounted on the side of the connecting ring, which faces away from the mounting ring. The retaining ring is used to hold additional components, such as a glass pane od. Like., Which is located in front of the emission of the lamp.

Diese bekannte Einbauleuchte weist mehrere Nachteile auf. Zum einen vergrößern der Verbindungsring und der Haltering die axiale Abmessung der Einbauleuchte im dem Montagering vorgeordneten Bereich. Dies ist durch das Vorhandensein des Verbindungsringes vorgegeben, der eine beträchtliche axiale Abmessung aufweist, um die Spannhebel aufnehmen zu können. Zum anderen ist die bekannte Ausgestaltung nachteilig, weil der Verbindungsring für den Betrachter deutlich sichtbar ist, wodurch die Bauweise nicht nur groß erscheint, sondern auch deren Aussehen beeinträchtigt wird. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, daß die bekannte Ausgestaltung nicht nur im Hinblick auf die Anordnung und Lagerung der Spannhebel von aufwendiger Ausgestaltung und Herstellung ist. Außerdem ist die Montage bzw. Demontage aufwendig, wobei zu berücksichtigen ist, daß die Spannhebel nicht einfach zu erreichen sind.This known recessed luminaire has several disadvantages. On the one hand, the connecting ring and the retaining ring increase the axial dimension of the recessed light in the area upstream of the mounting ring. This is determined by the presence of the connecting ring, which has a considerable axial dimension to accommodate the clamping levers can. On the other hand, the known embodiment is disadvantageous because the connecting ring is clearly visible to the viewer, so that the design not only looks great, but also their appearance is impaired. Another disadvantage is that the known design not only in terms of the arrangement and storage of the clamping lever of consuming Design and production is. In addition, the assembly and disassembly is expensive, it should be noted that the clamping lever are not easy to reach.

Mit dem äußeren Ring ist ein innerer Ring verbunden, wobei an diesem inneren Ring zusätzliche Bauteile befestigt werden können.The DE 299 15 780 U1 discloses a recessed luminaire, which has a light source with reflector and two rings. The outer ring is used for mounting on the ceiling wall. An inner ring is connected to the outer ring, wherein additional components can be attached to this inner ring.

Die Befestigungselemente sind mittels einer Rastverbindung mit dem inneren Ring verbunden und weisen nach außen abstehende Gelenkelemente auf, die in eine passende Ausnehmung im äußeren Ring eingreifen.The fasteners are connected by means of a latching connection with the inner ring and have outwardly projecting hinge elements which engage in a matching recess in the outer ring.

Auf Grund der Ausgestaltung der Befestigungselemente ist die in der DE 299 15 780 U1 beschriebene Leuchte nur umständlich zu demontieren.Due to the design of the fasteners is in the DE 299 15 780 U1 described lamp only awkward to dismantle.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einbauleuchte der eingangs angegebenen Art so auszugestalten, daß eine einfache und axial kleine Bauweise erreichbar ist.The invention has the object of providing a recessed light of the type specified in such a way that a simple and small axial construction can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung sind die Verbindungsmittel zwischen dem Montagering und dem Haltering durch mindestens zwei Steckelemente mit Steckzapfen sowie an dem Montagering vorgesehene, radial verlaufende Steckausnehmungen zum Einstecken der Steckzapfen gebildet. Aufgrund der radialen Ausrichtung der Verbindungsmittel läßt sich eine in axialer Richtung schmale Bauweise verwirklichen, was vorteilhaft ist und angestrebt wird, um einen großen sichtbaren Vorsprung der Einbauleuchte von der Einbauwand zu vermeiden. Eine radiale Steckbewegung, insbesondere eine radial einwärts gerichtete Steckbewegung ist unproblematisch, da wenigstens zwei Steckelemente vorhanden sind, die unabhängig voneinander montiert werden können und z. B. als Segmente ausgebildet sein können. Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die erfindungsgemäßen Steckelemente einfach ausgebildet werden können, so daß die Einbauleuchte auch kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann. Zur Verbindung der Steckelemente mit dem Haltering können miteinander korrespondierende bekannte Verbindungsmittel benutzt werden.In the embodiment according to the invention the connecting means between the mounting ring and the retaining ring by at least two plug-in elements with plug pins and provided on the mounting ring, radially extending plug recesses are formed for inserting the plug-in pin. Due to the radial alignment of the connecting means can be realized in the axial direction narrow construction, which is advantageous and is sought to avoid a large visible projection of the recessed light from the mounting wall. A radial insertion movement, in particular a radially inwardly directed insertion movement is not a problem, since at least two plug-in elements are present, which can be mounted independently of each other and z. B. may be formed as segments. Another advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that the plug-in elements according to the invention can be easily formed, so that the recessed light can also be produced inexpensively. For connecting the plug-in elements with the retaining ring, corresponding known connection means can be used.

Es ist vorteilhaft, die Verbindungsmittel zwischen den Steckelementen und dem Haltering durch eine sogenannte Bajonettverbindung zu bilden, wobei zwei oder mehrere, z. B. drei, auf dem Umfang verteilt angeordnete Bajonettverbindungsmittel vorgesehen sein können. Eine solche Ausgestaltung ist sowohl aus Handhabungsgründen beim Schließen und Öffnen der Verbindung als auch aus gestaltungstechnischen Gründen vorteilhaft. Es ist ferner vorteilhaft, den Haltering als hülsenförmiges Bauteil auszubilden, der in der montierten Stellung sowohl die Steckelemente als auch ein Flanschteil des Montagerahmens und gegebenenfalls auch einen Randflansch eines Reflektors abdeckt. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, daß im montierten Zustand zwischen dem Haltering und der Einbauwand ein Spalt als sogenannte Schattenkante verbleiben kann, der das Aussehen der Einbauleuchte nicht beeinträchtigt.It is advantageous to form the connecting means between the plug-in elements and the retaining ring by a so-called bayonet connection, wherein two or more, z. B. three, distributed around the circumference arranged bayonet connection means can be provided. Such an embodiment is advantageous both for handling reasons when closing and opening the connection and for design reasons. It is also advantageous to form the retaining ring as a sleeve-shaped component, which covers both the plug-in elements and a flange of the mounting frame and optionally also an edge flange of a reflector in the mounted position. It should be noted that in the assembled state between the retaining ring and the mounting wall, a gap may remain as a so-called shadow edge, which does not affect the appearance of the recessed light.

Weitere Merkmale der Unteransprüche tragen ebenfalls dazu bei, die Bauweise ausgestaltungstechnisch als auch handhabungstechnisch zu verbessern und eine einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung zu gewährleisten.Further features of the subclaims also contribute to improving the design in terms of design as well as handling technology and to ensure a simple and cost-effective production.

Die in ihrer Gesamtheit mit 1 bezeichnete Einbauleuchte ist in eine Einbauöffnung 2 einer Einbauwand 3 einbaubar, bei der es sich um eine Decke oder eine Wand eines mit der Einbauleuchte 1 zu beleuchtenden Raumes 4 handeln kann. Zur Befestigung der Einbauleuchte 1 an der Einbauwand 3 sind erste Haltemittel 5 vorgesehen, die weiter unten noch beschrieben werden.The recessed luminaire, designated in its entirety by 1, can be installed in an installation opening 2 of an installation wall 3, which can be a ceiling or a wall of a room 4 to be illuminated by the recessed luminaire 1. For fixing the recessed luminaire 1 to the mounting wall 3 first retaining means 5 are provided, which will be described below.

Die Hauptteile der Einbauleuchte 1 sind ein domförmiger Reflektor 6, ein Lichtquellenträger 7 zur Aufnahme wenigstens einer Lichtquelle 8 und ein Montagering 9, der mit einem Rohrstutzen 9a und einem von diesem nach außen abstehenden Flanschteil 9b winkelförmig geformt ist und mit Hilfe der ersten Haltemittel 5 in der Einbauöffnung 2 fixierbar ist, z. B. am Einbauöffnungsrand. Hierzu können mehrere, auf dem Umfang verteilt angeordnete und z. B. durch Blattfedern gebildete Haltearme 11 dienen, von denen in Fig. 1 nur einer andeutungsweise dargestellt ist. Die Haltearme 11 sind mit einem Basisabschnitt 11a jeweils an einer sich etwa parallel zur Mittelachse 12 der Einbauleuchte 11 erstreckenden Tragstange 13 verschiebbar gelagert, wobei jeweils der Basisabschnitt 11a an der Tragstange 13, insbesondere durch Klemmwirkung selbsttätig arretiert wird, wenn ein nach außen abstehender und den Einbauöffnungsrand übergreifender Haltefinger 11b mit einer Druckspannung an der dem Raum 4 abgewandten Seite der Einbauwand 3 anliegt. Hierdurch wird der Montagering 9 in der Einbauöffnung 2 fixiert, wobei sein Rohrstutzen 9a in die Einbauöffnung 2 hineinragt und sein Flanschteil 9b an der Einbauwand 3 anliegt. Der Rohrabschnitt 9a ist axial verhältnismäßig kurz bemessen. Er braucht nicht weit in den Freiraum 14 hinter der Einbauwand 3 hineinzuragen. Es reicht aus, wenn die axiale Länge des Rohrstutzens 9a etwa der Dicke der Einbauwand 3 entspricht, wobei die axiale Länge etwas größer oder auch etwas kleiner bemessen sein kann. Die Breite des Flanschteils 9b ist so groß bemessen, daß das Flanschteil 9b den Einbauöffnungsrand untergreift und damit den Einbauspalt zwischen dem Rohrstutzen 9a und dem Einbauöffnungsrand abdeckt.The main parts of the recessed luminaire 1 are a dome-shaped reflector 6, a light source support 7 for receiving at least one light source 8 and a mounting ring 9, which is angularly formed with a pipe socket 9a and an outwardly projecting flange part 9b and with the aid of the first holding means 5 in the mounting hole 2 is fixed, z. B. at the installation opening edge. For this purpose, several distributed around the circumference arranged and z. B. formed by leaf springs support arms 11 serve, of which in Fig. 1 only a hint is shown. The holding arms 11 are each provided with a base portion 11a at approximately parallel to the central axis 12 of the recessed light 11 extending support rod 13 slidably mounted, each of the base portion 11a is automatically locked to the support rod 13, in particular by clamping action, when an outwardly projecting and the installation opening edge cross-holding finger 11b with a compressive stress on the side facing away from the space 4 of the mounting wall 3 is present. As a result, the mounting ring 9 is fixed in the mounting hole 2, wherein its pipe socket 9a protrudes into the mounting hole 2 and its flange 9b rests against the mounting wall 3. The pipe section 9a is dimensioned axially relatively short. He does not need to project far into the free space 14 behind the installation wall 3. It is sufficient if the axial length of the pipe socket 9a corresponds approximately to the thickness of the mounting wall 3, wherein the axial length may be slightly larger or slightly smaller. The width of the flange part 9b is dimensioned so large that the flange part 9b engages under the installation opening edge and thus covers the installation gap between the pipe socket 9a and the installation opening edge.

Der Reflektor 6 weist vorzugsweise die Form eines im Firstbereich geschlossenen Domes auf, dessen Innenfläche 15 als Reflexionsfläche ausgebildet ist, und z. B. wenigstens im freien Randbereich mit Facettenflächen 16, von denen ein Teilbereich z. B. in rautenförmiger Form dargestellt ist, ausgebildet sein kann. Im oberen Bereich seiner Seitenwand 17 weist der Reflektor 6 ein Durchführungsloch 18 auf, in dessen Bereich der Lichtquellenträger 7 gehalten ist, z. B. in einer dem Durchfuhrungsloch 18 außen gegenüberliegenden Position, wie es Fig. 1 zeigt. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Lichtquellenträger 7 ein Fassungsträger mit einer oder mehreren nicht dargestellten Fassungen, die mit einer oder mehreren Lampen vom Innenraum 19 des Reflektors 6 her zugänglich sind, so daß wenigstens eine Lampe von innen am Fassungsträger in einer Position montierbar ist, in der ihre Lichtquelle 8 sich im Innenraum 19 befindet. Der Reflektor 6 ist durch eine in ihrer Gesamtheit mit 21 bezeichneten Steckfassung mit dem Montagering 9 lösbar verbunden bzw. verbindbar. Die Steckfassung 21 ermöglicht es, den Reflektor der Lichtabstrahlrichtung 22 entgegengesetzt in den Montagering 9 einzustecken und dadurch mit dem Montagering 9 zu verbinden. Es können mehrere, z. b. drei Stück, auf dem Umfang verteilt angeordnete Verrastungsvorrichtungen 23 zum lösbaren Verrasten des Reflektors 6 mit dem Montagering 9 vorgesehen sein. Die Verrastungsvorrichtungen 23 weisen jeweils eine Verrastungsnase 23a auf, die in der Verrastungsstellung eine Verrastungskante 23b hintergreift. Dieser Hintergriff ist aufgrund der vorhandenen Elastizität wenigstens eines der in Verrastungseingriff stehenden Teile dadurch lösbar, daß die Verrastung manuell oder mittels eines Hilfswerkzeugs überdrückbar ist, hier durch eine Bewegung des Reflektors 6 in der Lichtabstrahlrichtung 22. Bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung ist die Verrastungsnase 23a an der Außenseite der Seitenwand 17 angeordnet, vorzugsweise einteilig angeformt. Der axiale Abstand der Verrastungselemente vom freien Rand des Reflektors 6 bzw. des Montageringes 9 ist so groß gewählt, daß in der Verrastungsstellung ein von der Seitenwand 14 nach außen abstehender Randflansch 24 am Flanschteil 9b anliegt und diesen vorzugsweise abdeckt oder überragt, wobei er das Flanschteil 9b auch winkelförmig hintergreifen kann, wie es Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 zeigen. Die Verrastungskante 23b kann durch einen Innensteg 25 an der Innenmantelfläche des Montageringes 9 gebildet sein.The reflector 6 preferably has the shape of a dome closed in the ridge region, the inner surface 15 is formed as a reflection surface, and z. B. at least in the free edge area with facet surfaces 16, of which a portion z. B. is shown in diamond-shaped form, may be formed. In the upper region of its side wall 17, the reflector 6 has a feed-through hole 18, in the region of the light source carrier 7 is held, for. B. in a through-hole 18 on the outside opposite position, as it Fig. 1 shows. In the present embodiment, the light source carrier 7 is a socket carrier with one or more sockets, not shown, which are accessible with one or more lamps from the interior 19 of the reflector 6 ago, so that at least one lamp from the inside of the socket carrier in a position is mounted in the its light source 8 is located in the interior 19. The reflector 6 is detachably connected or connectable to the mounting ring 9 by a socket designated in its entirety by 21. The jack 21 makes it possible to insert the reflector of the light emitting direction 22 opposite in the mounting ring 9 and thereby connect to the mounting ring 9. There may be several, for example, three pieces, distributed around the circumference arranged latching devices 23 for releasably locking the reflector 6 may be provided with the mounting ring 9. The latching devices 23 each have a Verrastungsnase 23a, which engages in the Verrastungsstellung a Verrastungskante 23b. This rear grip is due to the existing elasticity of at least one of the latching engaging parts in that the latching manually or by means of an auxiliary tool is überdrückbar, here by a movement of the reflector 6 in the Lichtabstrahlrichtung 22. In the present embodiment, the Verrastungsnase 23 a at Outside of the side wall 17 is arranged, preferably integrally formed. The axial distance of the Verrastungselemente from the free edge of the reflector 6 and the mounting ring 9 is chosen so large that in the Verrastungsstellung an outwardly projecting from the side wall 14 edge flange 24 abuts the flange 9b and this preferably covers or surmounted, where he the flange 9b can also engage angularly, like it Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 demonstrate. The Verrastungskante 23b may be formed by an inner web 25 on the inner circumferential surface of the mounting ring 9.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Verrastungsnase 23a in einer abgewandelten Ausgestaltung. Hierbei ist die Verrastungsnase 23a nachgiebig gelagert, so daß sie gegen eine elastische Rückstellkraft einfederbar ist. Hierbei kann die Verrastungsnase 23a an einem Federarm 23c angeordnet sein, der sich längs oder schräg zur Mittelachse 12 erstrecken kann und vorzugsweise einteilig am Montagering 9 bzw. an dessen Seitenwand 14 angeformt sein kann. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Federarm 23c im Eckenbereich des Montagerings 9 angeformt, wobei er sich gegebenenfalls schräg in die der Lichtabstrahlrichtung 22 entgegengesetzten Richtung erstreckt. Der Federarm 23c ist aufgrund seiner Materialelastizität quer elastisch einbiegbar. Um die Verrastung zu vereinfachen oder zu ermöglichen, ist bei den vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispielen der Verrastungsnase 23a und/oder der Verrastungskante 23b bzw. dem Innensteg 25 eine schräge oder gerundete Anlauffläche 26 zugeordnet, die bezüglich der Mittelachse 12 einen spitzen Winkel W aufweist, der in die der Abstrahlrichtung 22 entgegengesetzte Richtung offen ist. Fig. 2 shows the Verrastungsnase 23a in a modified embodiment. Here, the Verrastungsnase 23 a resiliently mounted, so that it is einfederbar against an elastic restoring force. Here, the Verrastungsnase 23a may be disposed on a spring arm 23c, which may extend longitudinally or obliquely to the central axis 12 and preferably integrally formed on the mounting ring 9 and on its side wall 14 may be. In the present embodiment, the spring arm 23c is formed in the corner region of the mounting ring 9, wherein it optionally extends obliquely in the light emitting direction 22 opposite direction. The spring arm 23 c is elastically transversely elastically bendable due to its material elasticity. In order to simplify or enable the latching, in the present exemplary embodiments, the latching nose 23a and / or the latching edge 23b or the inner web 25 is assigned an inclined or rounded contact surface 26 which has an acute angle W with respect to the center axis 12 which is inserted into the the radiation direction 22 opposite direction is open.

Der Lichtquellenträger 7 ist durch ein besonderes Verbindungsmittel ausschließlich mit dem Montagering 9 verbunden, hier ausschließlich mit dessen Rohrstutzen 9a. Die Verbindungsmittel sind durch eine Steckverbindung mit einer Steckfassung 27a an dem einen Steckverbindungsteil und einem in die Steckfassung 27a einsteckbaren Steckzapfen 27b an dem anderen Verbindungsteil gebildet. Die Einsteckrichtung 28 der Steckverbindung 27 erstreckt sich etwa parallel zur Mittelachse 12 und in die Abstrahlrichtung 22. Die Querschnittsform der Steckfassung 27a und des Steckzapfens 27b ist vorzugsweise unrund. Hierdurch ist eine Verdrehsicherung gebildet, die den Lichtquellenträger 7 in seiner Querstellung positioniert. Die Steckverbindung 27 zeichnet sich durch eine große Stabilität bei einfacher und kleiner Bauweise aus, wobei sie insbesondere verhältnismäßig schmal ausgebildet werden kann und somit an den Rohrstutzen 9a angebaut, insbesondere einteilig angeformt werden kann, der möglichst schmal ausgebildet werden soll, um eine größere Querschnittsfläche für den Reflektor 6 zur Verfügung zu haben. Dies läßt sich dadurch realisieren, daß der Steckzapfen die Querschnittsform eines breiten und verhältnismäßig dünnen Steges aufweist. Dies gilt auch für die Befestigung der Tragstangen 13, die vorzugsweise ebenfalls durch Steckfassungen 31 mit dem Rohrstutzen 9a verbunden sind. Vorzugsweise sind im Rohrstutzen 9a jeweils eine Steckfassung 31 bildende hinterschnittene Nuten oder Steckausnehmungen 32 vorgefertigt vorgesehen, in die die Tragstangen 13 eingesetzt und befestigt sind, z. B. durch Kleben oder Preßsitz. Aus Fig. 4 läßt sich deren in Umfangsrichtung längliche Querschnittsform der z. B. drei Stück Steckausnehmungen 32 für die Tragstangen 13 erkennen. Die Steckausnehmungen 32 können zwecks Materialersparnis und kleiner Breite einseitig hinterschnitten und somit seitlich offen sein, hier sind sie innen offen.The light source carrier 7 is connected by a special connecting means exclusively with the mounting ring 9, here exclusively with its pipe socket 9a. The connecting means are formed by a plug connection with a jack 27a on the one plug connection part and a plug-in plug 27a insertable plug pin 27b on the other connecting part. The insertion direction 28 of the connector 27 extends approximately parallel to the central axis 12 and in the emission direction 22. The cross-sectional shape of the jack 27a and the spigot 27b is preferably non-circular. As a result, an anti-rotation device is formed, which positions the light source carrier 7 in its transverse position. The connector 27 is characterized by a high stability with simple and small design, in particular, it can be made relatively narrow and thus grown on the pipe socket 9a, in particular integrally formed, which should be made as narrow as possible, to a larger cross-sectional area for to have the reflector 6 available. This can be realized in that the plug-in pin has the cross-sectional shape of a wide and relatively thin web. This also applies to the attachment of the support rods 13, which preferably also by Jacks 31 are connected to the pipe socket 9a. Preferably, a socket 31 forming undercut grooves or plug-in recesses 32 are prefabricated provided in the pipe socket 9a, in which the support rods 13 are inserted and secured, for. B. by gluing or press fit. Out Fig. 4 can be in the circumferential direction elongated cross-sectional shape of z. B. three pieces plug recesses 32 for the support rods 13 recognize. The plug-in recesses 32 can be undercut on one side for the purpose of saving material and small width and thus be open to the side, here they are open inside.

Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 und 5 weist die Steckverbindung zwischen zwei-passenden Steckverbindungsteilen einen Steckadapter 29 auf, der an seinem einen Ende eine zur vorhandenen Steckverbindung 27 passende Steckausnehmung oder Steckfassung 27a und an seinem anderen Ende einen passenden Steckzapfen 27b aufweist und ein Verlängerungsstück bildet. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Steckverbindung 27 wahlweise mit oder ohne einem Steckadapter 29 zu realisieren. Ohne Steckadapter 29 eignet sich die Steckverbindung 27 für einen Reflektor 6 geringer Bauhöhe, der im übrigen im Bereich seines freien Randes wie vorbeschrieben ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, ein und demselben Montagering 9 mit Reflektoren 6 unterschiedlich großer Bauhöhe zu kombinieren und somit die Leuchte an unterschiedliche Beleuchtungsanforderungen anzupassen. Bei der Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 1 sind somit tatsächlich zwei Steckverbindungen 21 in koaxialer Anordnung vorhanden. Es ist vorteilhaft, der bzw. den Steckverbindungen 21 jeweils eine im zusammengesteckten Zustand wirksame Positioniervorrichtung 33 zuzuordnen, die eine Fixierung der Steckverbindungsteile im zusammengesteckten Zustand herbeiführt. Dies ist vorteilhaft, um der Steckverbindung 27 einen gewissen Halt im zusammengesteckten Zustand zu geben. Außerdem wird durch eine solche Positioniervorrichtung 33 verhindert, daß die Steckverbindungsteile unbeabsichtigt voneinander gelöst werden, z. B. beim Montieren einer Lampe. Die Positioniervorrichtung 33 kann z. B. durch eine Verrastungsvorrichtung oder eine Klemmvorrichtung gebildet sein. Die Positioniervorrichtung 33 ist vorzugsweise durch manuelles Überdrücken mit einem gewissen Kraftaufwand lösbar. Eine Klemmvorrichtung kann z. B. dadurch realisiert sein, daß der Steckzapfen 27b zu seinem freien Ende hin konisch konvergent ausgebildet ist und die Steckfassung 27a eine passende und entsprechende Form aufweist. Eine solche konische Ausbildung erleichtert auch das Zusammenstecken, weil im Eingangsbereich der Steckfassung ein beträchtliches Bewegungsspiel vorhanden ist. Im übrigen kann die konische Ausbildung die Positioniervorrichtung 33 dadurch bilden, daß die Konusverbindung im eingesteckten Zustand klemmt. Die Steckausnehmungen 27a können an einer Breitseite durch einen Längsschlitz 27d geschlitzt sein, in dem ein Steg 27e am Steckzapfen 27b einfassen kann. Der Steckadapter 29 kann einen verdickten Schaft 29 aufweisen, wodurch sich an seiner Steckausnehmung 27a und seiner Steckzapfen 27b Stirn- bzw. Stufenflächen 29b, 29c ergeben, die mit korrespondierenden Stufenflächen 27f, 27g am Fuß des korrespondierenden Steckzapfens 27b und am Rand der korrespondierenden Steckausnehmung 27a Anschläge bilden.According to the present embodiment Fig. 1 and 5 has the connector between two-fitting connector parts on a plug adapter 29 which has at its one end to the existing connector 27 mating plug recess or socket 27a and at its other end a mating plug pin 27b and forms an extension piece. This makes it possible to realize the connector 27 either with or without a plug-in adapter 29. Without plug-in adapter 29, the connector 27 is suitable for a reflector 6 low height, which is otherwise formed in the region of its free edge as described above. This makes it possible to combine one and the same mounting ring 9 with reflectors 6 different height and thus adapt the lamp to different lighting requirements. In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 are thus actually two connectors 21 in coaxial arrangement available. It is advantageous to associate with the plug-type connections 21 in each case a positioning device 33 which is effective in the assembled state and which brings about a fixing of the plug connection parts in the assembled state. This is advantageous to give the connector 27 a certain grip in the assembled state. In addition, it is prevented by such a positioning device 33 that the connector parts are unintentionally released from each other, for. B. when mounting a lamp. The positioning device 33 may, for. B. be formed by a latching device or a clamping device. The positioning device 33 is preferably releasable by manual override with a certain force. A clamping device can, for. B. be realized in that the plug-in pin 27b is conically convergent to its free end and the jack 27a has a matching and corresponding shape. Such a conical design also facilitates the mating, because in the entrance area of the jack a considerable movement play is present. Moreover, the conical design may form the positioning device 33 in that the cone connection clamps in the inserted state. The plug-in recesses 27a can be slotted on a broad side by a longitudinal slot 27d, in which a web 27e can engage on the plug-in pin 27b. The plug adapter 29 may have a have thickened shaft 29, which results in its plug-in recess 27a and its plug pin 27b end or step surfaces 29b, 29c, 27a with corresponding step surfaces 27f at the foot of the corresponding pin 27b and at the edge of the corresponding plug recess 27a form stops.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung können beide Steckverbindungsteile der Steckverbindung 27 jeweils mit einem stabförmigen Basisabschnitt 27c von ihren sie tragenden Teilen aufeinanderzu abstehen. Das vom Lichtquellenträger 7 abstehende Steckverbindungsteil kann an eine Bodenwand 7a eines den Lichtquellenträger 7 bildenden Gehäuses vorzugsweise einteilig angeformt sein, das außerdem einander gegenüberliegende Seitenwände 7b und an seiner dem Reflektor 6 abgewandten Seite eine gegebenenfalls mit Kabel-Durchführungslöchern ausgebildete Stirnwand 7c aufweisen kann.In the context of the invention, both plug connection parts of the plug connection 27 each project with a rod-shaped base portion 27c of their parts carrying them each other. The protruding from the light source carrier 7 connector part may preferably integrally formed on a bottom wall 7a of the light source carrier 7 housing, which may also have opposing side walls 7b and on its side facing away from the reflector 6 an optionally formed with cable feedthrough holes end wall 7c.

Der Lichtquellenträger 7 kann an seiner den Reflektor 6 abgewandten Stirnseite mit einem Kabel-Anschlußgehäuse 35 verbunden sein. Bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung ist das Anschlußgehäuse 35 ein separates Bauteil, das zwischen einer bezüglich der Mittelachse 12 quer abstehenden Stellung in eine zum Montagering 9 hin verlagerten Stellung schwenkbar ist. Zur Fixierung des Anschlußgehäuses 35 in der erstgenannten Stellung kann eine Positioniervorrichtung vorgesehen sein, z. B. in Form einer Verrastungsvorrichtung oder einer Klemmvorrichtung. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein das Schwenken ermöglichendes Gelenk 36 im Kantenbereich zwischen der Bodenwand und der Stirnwand angeordnet.The light source carrier 7 may be connected at its end facing away from the reflector 6 with a cable connection housing 35. In the present embodiment, the terminal housing 35 is a separate component which is pivotable between a relative to the central axis 12 transversely projecting position in a mounting ring 9 towards displaced position. For fixing the terminal housing 35 in the former position, a positioning device may be provided, for. B. in the form of a latching device or a clamping device. In the present embodiment, a pivoting enabling joint 36 is disposed in the edge region between the bottom wall and the end wall.

Der Montagering 9 eignet sich als Träger für einen Haltering 41 zur Halterung von wenigstens einem Zusatzbauteil 42 bzw. Zubehörteil, bei dem es sich z. B. um eine lichtdurchlässige Scheibe handeln kann, die durch den Haltering 41 in einer die Abstrahlöffnung 43 des Reflektors 6 abdeckenden Position lösbar gehalten wird. Zur lösbaren Verbindung mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit dem Flanschteil 9b ist eine sogenannte Bajonettverbindung 44 mit miteinander korrespondierenden Bajonettverbindungsteilen vorgesehen.The mounting ring 9 is suitable as a support for a retaining ring 41 for holding at least one additional component 42 or accessory, in which it is z. B. may be a translucent disc, which is releasably held by the retaining ring 41 in a covering the emission opening 43 of the reflector 6 position. For the detachable connection directly or indirectly with the flange part 9b, a so-called bayonet connection 44 with mutually corresponding bayonet connection parts is provided.

Bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung dienen zur lösbaren Befestigung des Halteringes 41 wenigstens zwei, z. B. drei, auf dem Umfang verteilt angeordnete Steckelemente 45, hier z. B. in Form von Ringsegmenten, die zum einen jeweils durch eine Steckverbindung 46 mit einer Steckausnehmung 46a an dem einen Verbindungsteil und einem darin einsteckbaren Steckzapfen 46b an dem anderen Verbindungsteil mit dem Flanschteil 9b des Montagerahmens 9 verbindbar sind. Zur Verbindung der Steckelemente 45 mit dem Haltering 41 dienen miteinander korrespondierende Verbindungsteile, die vorzugsweise durch die Bajonettverbindung 44 gebildet sind.In the present embodiment serve for releasably securing the retaining ring 41 at least two, z. B. three, distributed on the circumference arranged plug-in elements 45, here z. B. in the form of ring segments, which are connectable by a respective plug connection 46 with a plug recess 46a on the one connecting part and a plug-in plug 46b at the other connecting part with the flange part 9b of the mounting frame 9. To connect the Plug elements 45 with the retaining ring 41 are mutually corresponding connecting parts, which are preferably formed by the bayonet connection 44.

Die Einsteckrichtung 47 der Steckfassungen 46 ist quer zur Mittelachse 12 radial nach innen gerichtet, wie es die in Fig. 4 dargestellten zugehörigen Pfeile verdeutlichen. Die Steckausnehmungen 46a sind somit bezüglich der Mittelachse 12 radial nach außen offen. Sie können auch zu der Innenseite des Flanschteils 9b hin offen sein, die zur Anlage an der Einbauwand 3 bestimmt ist, wie es Fig. 3 und 4 deutlich zeigen. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Steckausnehmungen 46a und die Steckzapfen 46b jeweils eine viereckige, insbesondere flache Querschnittsform auf. Die Steckelemente 45 sind mit einem radial einwärts gerichteten Steckelementschenkel 45a und einem sich in die Abstrahlrichtung 22 erstreckenden Steckelementschenkel 45b winkelförmig geformt. An der Abstrahlrichtung 22 abgewandten Außenrand des Flanschteils 9b ist eine Ringnut 48 angeordnet. Der Steckelementenschenkel 45a ist bezüglich seiner axialen Abmessung an die axiale Tiefe der Ringnut 48 so angepaßt, daß er an der der Einbauwand 3 zugewandten Seite mit dem verbleibenden Flächenabschnitt des Flanschteils 9b etwa abschließt.The insertion 47 of the jacks 46 is directed transversely to the central axis 12 radially inwardly, as it is in Fig. 4 illustrate illustrated associated arrows. The plug-in recesses 46a are thus open with respect to the central axis 12 radially outward. They may also be open towards the inside of the flange part 9b, which is intended to bear on the mounting wall 3, as it is Fig. 3 and 4 clearly show. In the present exemplary embodiment, the plug-in recesses 46a and the plug-in pins 46b each have a quadrangular, in particular flat, cross-sectional shape. The plug-in elements 45 are formed angularly with a radially inwardly directed plug element leg 45a and a plug element leg 45b extending in the emission direction 22. At the emission direction 22 remote from the outer edge of the flange 9b an annular groove 48 is arranged. The plug element leg 45a is adapted with respect to its axial dimension to the axial depth of the annular groove 48 so that it closes on the mounting wall 3 side facing the remaining surface portion of the flange 9b approximately.

Die Bajonettverbindungen 44 sind jeweils durch eine Bajonettnase 44a und eine Bajonettausnehmung 44b sowie eine sich an letztere in Umfangsrichtung anschließende Bajonettstufe 44c gebildet. Die außen am Steckelement 45 angeordnete Bajonettausnehmung 44b ist radial nach außen und in die Abstrahlrichtung 22 offen. Somit können die Bajonettnasen 44a bei einer der Abstrahlrichtung 22 entgegengesetzten axialen Bewegung des Halterings 41 in die Bajonettausnehmungen 44b und dann durch Drehen in die Bajonettstufen 44c eingeführt werden. Die Bajonettnasen 44a befinden sich an der Abstrahlrichtung 22 abgewandten Rand des Halterings 41 radial nach innen. Im übrigen kann der Haltering 41 durch eine dünne Hülse gebildet sein. Auf wenigstens einer Fläche der Bajonettstufen 44c kann ein mit gerundeten oder schrägen Anlaufflächen ausgebildeter Nocken 44d z.

The bayonet recess 44b arranged externally on the plug-in element 45 is open radially outward and in the emission direction 22. Thus, the bayonet lugs 44a can be inserted into the bayonet recesses 44b in an axial movement of the retaining ring 41 opposite the radiation direction 22 and then into the bayonet steps 44c by turning them. The bayonet lugs 44a are located on the radiation direction 22 facing away from the edge of the retaining ring 41 radially inwardly. Moreover, the retaining ring 41 may be formed by a thin sleeve. On at least one surface of the bayonet stages 44c, a cam 44d formed with rounded or inclined abutment surfaces may be provided, for example. B., which forms a manually überdrückbare backup against reverse rotation of the retaining ring 41.

Zur Halterung des Vorbau- bzw. Zusatzbauteils 42 kann der Haltering 41 an seinem in die Abstrahlrichtung 22 weisenden Rand mehrere auf dem Umfang verteilt angeordnete Halteteile oder einen umlaufenden Haltesteg 49 aufweisen, die bzw. der das Zusatzbauteil 42 hintergreifen bzw. hintergreift. Das Einführen des Zusatzbauteils 42, z. B. eine Scheibe, zwischen die Bajonettnasen 44a und dem Haltesteg 49 kann z. B. aufgrund der Materialelastizität des Halteringes 41 gewährleistet sein, der vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff besteht. Auch der Reflektor 6, der Montagering 9, der Adapter 29, der Lichtquellenträger 7 und die Steckelemente 45 können aus Kunststoff bestehen. Aus Stabilitätsgründen ist es vorteilhaft, den Montagering 9 und gegebenenfalls auch die Steckelemente 45 und den Adapter 29 alternativ aus Leichtmetall, insbesondere Aluminium, zu bilden. Hierzu eignet sich vorzugsweise die Druckgießtechnik bzw. SpritzgieBtechnik, die auch bei schwieriger Formgebung eine schnelle und kostengünstige Fertigung ermöglichen.For holding the stem or additional component 42, the retaining ring 41 may have at its in the emission direction 22 facing edge a plurality of circumferentially arranged arranged holding parts or a circumferential holding web 49 which engage behind the additional component 42 or engages behind. The insertion of the additional component 42, z. As a disc, between the bayonet lugs 44 a and the holding web 49 may, for. B. due to the material elasticity of the retaining ring 41, which is preferably made of plastic. Also, the reflector 6, the mounting ring 9, the adapter 29, the Light source carrier 7 and the plug-in elements 45 may be made of plastic. For stability reasons, it is advantageous to form the mounting ring 9 and optionally also the plug-in elements 45 and the adapter 29 alternatively made of light metal, in particular aluminum. For this purpose, preferably the die casting technique or injection molding technique is suitable, which enables rapid and cost-effective production even with difficult shaping.

Zur Sicherung der Steckzapfen 46b in den Steckausnehmungen 46a kann eine Positioniervorrichung vorgesehen sein. Diese kann durch ein elastisch nachgiebiges Druckelement gebildet sein, das an dem einen Steckverbindungsteil angeordnet ist und vorzugsweise in eine Ausnehmung am anderen Steckverbindungsteil einrastet. Das Druckelement kann durch einen gerundeten Stift oder eine Kugel 51 in einer Querbohrung 52 im Steckzapfen 46b gebildet sein und durch einen eingezogenen Bohrungsrand am Herausfallen aus der Bohrung gehindert sein. Durch eine in der Bohrung angeordnete Feder 53, die sich im Bohrungsgrund oder an einem Verschlußteil abstützt, läßt sich die gewünschte Druckspannung erzeugen.To secure the plug-in pin 46b in the plug-in recesses 46a, a positioning device can be provided. This can be formed by an elastically resilient pressure element, which is arranged on the one connector part and preferably engages in a recess on the other connector part. The pressure element may be formed by a rounded pin or a ball 51 in a transverse bore 52 in the spigot 46b and be prevented by a retracted hole edge from falling out of the hole. By means disposed in the bore spring 53, which is supported in the bottom of the hole or on a closure member, the desired compressive stress can be generated.
