Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a quick fixing system for lighting devices, particularly but not exclusively intended to connect together and maintain in position a lighting element and its wall or ceiling support.
  • Lighting devices are known composed of a ceiling or wall light fixture, internally provided with one or more light sources and prearranged for the wall, ceiling or even floor installation through the interposition of an appropriate support base.
  • the installation occurs first by fixing the base on the wall or ceiling by means of screws, dowels or similar means, after which the ceiling light fixture is coupled to the base itself, once the necessary electrical connections have been made.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to make a fixing system between two components of a lighting device, in particular but not necessarily a ceiling light fixture and its support base, which allows a great mounting speed and practicality with respect to the known systems, independent of the use conditions, i.e. with the base mounted on walls, ceiling or on the floor.
  • Another object of the invention is to make a fixing system for components of a lighting device which is capable of making the installation procedures more secure/without error, since only one correct mounting possibility is allowed of the two parts composing the device.
  • Still another object of the invention is to eliminate the problems related to the installer's supporting of the ceiling light fixture weight if the related base is attached to the ceiling or walls.
  • a lighting device comprising a support 10, in the matter at hand a base adapted for wall installation and provided with one or more holes or slots 14 adapted for the insertion of wall fixing means and one or more holes 16 for the passage of the electric power cables, and a component 12 which can be coupled to the support 10, which in the illustrated example is composed of a ceiling light fixture of substantially cylindrical form, inside of which the light(s) sources (not shown) are installed.
  • the ceiling light fixture 12 contains, in addition to the light source, all elements necessary for the correct functioning of the light source, i.e. reflecting walls and/or screens, reactors, transformers and various electrical components, while the base 10 is prearranged only for fixing to walls, ceiling or floor. It is, however, important to specify that the light source or sources, as with all or part of the above-described elements, can also be installed on the support 10 which forms the base of the device rather than inside the ceiling light fixture 12, without the quick fixing system according to the invention (described below) having to be modified in any manner.
  • first coupling means are provided for belonging to the quick fixing system according to the invention, constituted by a hook 18 and a pin 20 opposite the hook 18.
  • the hook 18 and the pin 20 are found at the external edge of the ceiling light fixture 12, in diametrically opposite position, and the pin 20 is formed by a head 22 and by a shank 24 with reduced diameter with respect to the aforesaid head 22.
  • a tightening lever 30 is then hinged, in turn provided with a hole 32 of diameter substantially equal to that of the hole 28 made on the base 10, so that it too can receive the head 22 of the pin 20 in the initial mounting step of the two components of the lighting device, i.e. when the tightening lever 30 is found in open position (figures 2 and 4).
  • the hole 32 then communicates with a slot 34, narrower with respect to the diameter of said hole 32, whose width is appropriately sized to receive the shank 24 of the pin 20 at its interior.
  • the two coupling means 18 and 26 respectively provided for on the two components 12 and 10 of the lighting device are instead permanently bound together, so to form an actual hinge which, in turn, permits said two components 12 and 10 to remain always coupled together.
  • the two components 10 and 12 are brought close together (figure 1) so to counter the respective coupling means according to the only possible arrangement, so to prevent any possibility of incorrect mounting of the lighting device itself.
  • the hook 18 of the ceiling light fixture 12 is then inserted inside the corresponding slot 26 (figure 3) such that, if the base 10 is correctly installed on any wall, a bond is formed which permits unloading part of the weight of the ceiling light fixture 12 on the base 10 itself already in this phase of the installation, allowing the operator's hands a greater freedom of movement.
  • the head 22 of the pin 20 is then inserted inside the holes 28 and 32, appropriately superimposed when the tightening lever 30 is found in open position. Finally, by rotating the tightening lever 30 in turn into the closed position of figure 5, the shank 24 of the pin 20 is inserted inside the slot 34, such that the head 22 can be abutted and locked on the tightening lever 30 itself so to obtain the secure/correct fixing and definitive locking in operating position of the ceiling light fixture 12 on the base 10, also due to the fact that all components of the fixing system according to the invention are preferably made of very strong plastic material or metal.
  • a Belleville friction washer (not shown) collaborating with the tightening lever 30 can be provided, so to avoid an accidental uncoupling of the tightening lever 30 itself from the head 22 of the pin 20.
  • the tightening lever 30 can be equipped with a stop tooth 36 which is snap-engaged with a corresponding locking plate 38 when said lever 30 is in closed position, and a particular screw 40 also be provided for, inserted in the lever 30 itself and in a suitable threaded hole made in the base 10 in order to prevent the intentional unhooking of the two components of the lighting device by unauthorised personnel.
  • a quick flush coupling device can be provided which permits a first connection between said two components, thus facilitating the subsequent engagement of the related coupling means and the definitive fixing between the components.
  • a seal element can finally be interposed, such as for example a rubber gasket, between the base and the ceiling light fixture. Due to its constructive characteristics, which permit only one correct mounting possibility, the fixing system according to the invention also allows imparting the right compression to the seal element, unlike the known systems in which too high or too low twisting moments can be imparted to the coupling screws between the components for the obtainment of the right compression on the gasket.
