Definitions

  • the first body of material expands on heating.
  • the first body of material is intumescent.
  • the lighting fitting can be supplied with the first body of material in a convenient and/or compact form for ease of installation.
  • the first body of material will be activated to form an arrangement which is effective in inhibiting the transmission of fire.
  • any suitable intumescent material may be used as will be readily apparent to the man skilled in the art, including but not limited to, expandable granule or powder graphite, or carbon granules, used with rockwool fibre, thermoset epoxy, polymer base materials and glass fibre amongst others, as will be readily apparent to the man skilled in the art.
  • the silicone gasket 28 will melt or otherwise deteriorate allowing heat to reach the intumescent material 27, which will then expand to provide a fire-proof seal between the flange 26 and the panel 12.
  • the cylindrical sidewall 25 of the lighting fitting is closed at the opposite end to the flange 26 to form a top surface 30.
  • a second layer of intumescent material 31 is attached to the exterior of top surface 30 and held in place by a steel plate 32.
  • steel plate 32 is shown attached to top surface 30 of the lighting fitting by means of rivets 33, but the skilled man will appreciate that any suitable fire-resistant fastening means could be used.
  • a series of ventilation holes 34 pass through the top surface 30, intumescent material 31 and steel plate 32.

Claims (16)

  1. Leuchtmittelfassung (10) für die Anbringung in einem Paneel (12), enthaltend einen Körper (20) aus einem thermisch leitfähigen Substrat, in dem eine Lampe (21) angebracht werden kann, wobei der Körper eine durchgehende, starre Seitenwand (25), einen Flansch (26), der sich wenigstens teilweise um die Seitenwand erstreckt, und einen ersten Körper aus einem wärmeaktivierbaren Material (27) enthält, wobei die Leuchtmittelfassung so eingerichtet ist, dass sie in einem Paneel derart angebracht wird, dass der erste Körper des wärmeaktivierbaren Materials angrenzend zum Paneel und zwischen dem Flansch sowie dem Paneel liegt, wobei der erste Materialkörper so beschaffen ist, dass er die Übertragung von Feuer in einem Bereich zwischen dem Flansch und einem angrenzenden Paneel verhindert, wobei der Körper weiterhin wenigstens ein Belüftungsloch (34) und einen zweiten Körper eines wärmeaktivierbaren Materials (31) enthält, der so beschaffen ist, dass er die Übertragung von Feuer zwischen dem Inneren und dem Äußeren der Leuchtmittelfassung über das wenigstens eine Belüftungsloch verhindert, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der zweite Körper des wärmeaktivierbaren Materials an einer Außenfläche des Körpers angebracht ist und durch eine weitere Schicht einer thermisch leitfähigen Substanz an Ort und Stelle gehalten ist, die über der Außenoberfläche des zweiten Materialkörpers liegt und am Körper angebracht ist, und dadurch, dass der zweite Körper des wärmeaktivierbaren Materials und die Schicht einer thermisch leitfähigen Substanz jeweils mit einem Belüftungsloch versehen sind, das jedem des wenigstens einen Belüftungsloches im Körper der Leuchtmittelfassung entspricht.
  2. Leuchtmittelfassung nach Anspruch 1, wobei der Körper der Leuchtmittelfassung ein wärmefestes Material enthält.
  3. Leuchtmittelfassung nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, wobei sich der erste Materialkörper bei Erwärmung ausdehnt.

  8. Leuchtmittelfassung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei die Leuchtmittelfassung mit einer Abdeckung ausgestattet ist, die das Eindringen von Raumfeuchtigkeit in das Innere der Leuchtmittelfassung verhindert, wobei die Abdeckung einen wenigstens teilweise transparenten Teil enthält, der die Beleuchtung des Raumes ermöglicht, in dem die Leuchtmittelfassung installiert ist.
  9. Leuchtmittelfassung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei die Seitenwand des Körpers Ausnehmungen hat.
  10. Leuchtmittelfassung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, enthaltend eine elastisch verformbare Einrichtung (23), die sich bei Benutzung so verhält, dass sie den Flansch gegen des Paneel drückt, in dem die Fassung installiert ist.
  11. Leuchtmittelfassung nach Anspruch 10, bei dem die elastisch verformbare Einrichtung, Federspangen enthält, die am Körper der Leuchtmittelfassung angebracht sind.
  12. Leuchtmittelfassung nach Anspruch 11, bei der die Federspangen an Punkten auf der Seite des Körpers angebracht sind, wobei diese Punkte in der Seite des Körpers der Leuchtmittelfassung ausgenommen sind.
  13. Leuchtmittelfassung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei die Leuchtmittelfassung einen Doppelwandaufbau hat, bei dem eine Schicht einer Wärmeisolierung zwischen den beiden Wänden angeordnet ist.
