Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting apparatus for installation on, or more precisely underneath, a suspended electrical duct and in particular to a lightning apparatus with a modular structure which can be assembled as required, having an ergonomic structure which allows easy installation thereof also in the awkward conditions for which it is designed and, at the same time, guarantees safe installation and simple maintenance operations.
  • suspended electrical ducts are widely used, for example, in offices, warehouses and shopping centres for the distribution of electrical power.
  • These ducts essentially consist of a metal housing which forms a chancel which is open at the bottom and which internally accommodates conducting bars and may also house electrical components.
  • lighting apparatus in particular comprising straight fluorescent lamps, which are connected to these ducts.
  • these lighting apparatus have a single-piece structure in the sense that the various constructional parts are irremovably connected together during the manufacturing process, with the sole exception of a louver reflector which must be removable to allow replacement of the fluorescent tubes.
  • EP 0 302 029 Another apparatus is disclosed in EP 0 302 029 and is provided with magnetic retention means for mounting lamp-holders on a linear base.
  • the present invention solves these problems with a modular lighting apparatus which can be assembled on-site and can be easily, safely and reliably installed, without the need for tools, by means of simple manual operations.
  • the lighting apparatus comprises an electrical unit 1, a cover unit 2 and an optical unit 3.
  • the electrical unit consists of an elongated base plate 4 made of sheet metal and with a length which depends on the length of the lamps which must be installed (for example, nominal length of 1.2 and 1.5 m).
  • the base plate is folded in the form of a C, with two lateral reinforcing ribs.
  • One or more sockets lugs 5,6,7,8, known per se, for connecting fluorescent tubes are mounted at its ends by means of screws.
  • the plate has, mounted above it by means of screws, a pair of engaging devices 9,10 of the known type, comprising a rotating cam, or preferably of the twin slider type, with teeth which engage with the bottom edges 11,12 of the housing 13 of a suspended electrical duct.
  • the plate 4 also has, mounted above it, the electrical components, known per se, necessary for operation of the fluorescent tubes, such as an electronic power supply device 14, switching-off and switching-on of which can be programmed or remotely controlled (or a unit consisting of reactor, possible rephasing capacitor and starter) and a rotating head 15 (also known per se) establishing electrical contact with the conducting bars housed inside the duct.
  • an electronic power supply device 14 switching-off and switching-on of which can be programmed or remotely controlled (or a unit consisting of reactor, possible rephasing capacitor and starter) and a rotating head 15 (also known per se) establishing electrical contact with the conducting bars housed inside the duct.
  • Suitable openings formed in the plate 4 allow manual operation, from below, of the engaging devices (openings 16,19) and the rotating contact head (opening 18) as well as programming (opening 17) of the electronic power supply device (or replacement of the starter, where envisaged).
  • installation may be performed in conditions of maximum safety from an electrical point of view.
  • installation is performed by mounting the engaging devices 9,10 (among other things, this is able to ensure electrical earthing of the electrical unit) and only then is the contact head 15 operated in order to provide the connection to the conducting bars of the duct.
  • the cover unit 2 consist of four separate parts, more specifically a pair of brackets 20,21 and a pair of side cover panels 22,23.
  • brackets 20,21 which are saddle-shaped and preferably obtained by means of plastic injection moulding, each have an engaging device 24,25 preferably of the twin slider type, as described further below.
  • the sliders of the device are made of ferromagnetic material (steel) and each have a flat surface which can be accessed from below through a pair of openings in the bracket.
  • the engaging devices are of the conventional rotating-cam type and may be made of plastic
  • the side cover panels 22,23 which are made of plastic or extruded aluminium and are of various types and varying shape in order to meet a wide range of requirements, are provided with a pair of ribs 26,27 which engage at their ends, inside corresponding grooves 28,29 formed on the sides of the brackets.
  • the brackets which are directly fastened to the edges 11,12 of the duct, next to the plate 4 of the electrical unit, therefore act as a support for the side cover panels 22,23.
  • brackets 20,21 in a central position thereof the brackets 20,21 have a raised rib 30 (preferably with a thickness the same as that of the side cover panels) and have a symmetrical structure with respect to this central rib.
  • bracket acts as a support for covering panels, such as 22,23, arranged on either side of the central rib 30.
  • N is the number of lighting apparatus arranged next to each other, it is sufficient to use N+1 brackets in order to form the lighting system.
  • brackets on the duct may be performed separately from each other, by a single operator, something which is particularly advantageous in the case where the lighting apparatus extends over a length of more than 1 metre.
  • the optical unit 3 consists of three parts: a pair of end pieces 31,32, made of plastic, and a reflector 33, with a known structure, which has a pair of semi-parabolas made of thin sheet metal (or also metal-coated plastic) and connected together by a plurality of anti-dazzle louvers 36.
  • the end pieces 31,32 which are in the form of a shell with an outer profile which mates with the inner profile of the brackets 20,21, have internally tongues 37 between which the ends of the semi-parabolas 34,35 are positioned and engaged.
  • end pieces 31,32 are suitably shaped so as to form a kind of grip which facilitates handling of the optical unit and which allows both an upwards pushing force and a downwards pulling force to be exerted on it.
  • Another important aspect of the end pieces 31,32 consists in the fact that a pair of permanent magnets 38, 39 are mounted on their upper outer side.
  • brackets In order to join the optical unit to the brackets it is sufficient to raise it, arranging the end pieces inside the brackets, which are suitably tapered so as to act as a guide during insertion.
  • the end pieces are magnetically engaged with the ferromagnetic sliders of the connection device (or with the ferromagnetic plates inserted in the brackets), thus keeping the optical unit suspended.
  • Figures 2, 3 and 4 respectively show an exploded perspective view, front view and cross-sectioned view, along the line A-A of Figure 3 , of the structure of the bracket 20 and the associated engaging device 24.
  • the bracket 20 has two ribs 40, 41 which, once the bracket is installed, are arranged next to the edges 11, 12 ( Fig. 1 ) of the duct, situated at the bottom of the latter.
  • These ribs define the depth of insertion of the engaging device 24 inside the electrical duct.
  • the two ribs have, formed between them, a rectangular frame 42 which houses two metal sliders which are made of ferromagnetic steel 43,44 and folded in a double L shape and the opposite ends 45,46 of which protrude from the enclosure owing to the action of a compression spring 47 which tends to move the sliders away from each other.
  • the ends 45,46 form two engaging teeth which, during installation, are arranged on top of the edges 11,12 of the duct.
  • the sliders 43,44 are provided with a pair of wings 50,51 (one per slider) which form a kind of wedge intended to be inserted inside the duct.
  • This wedge performs the function of an insertion guide and, interfering with the edges 11,12 of the duct, causes retraction of the teeth 45,46 and allows their snap-engagement with the edges 11,12.
  • a pair of openings 48,49 formed in the bottom of the enclosure allow an operator to operate the sliders 43,44, moving them towards each other in order to perform both the engaging operation and the opposite disengaging operation.
  • the seat formed by the enclosure 42 is closed by a metal cover 52 which is fixed by means of screws 53,54 to the bracket 20 and is conveniently shaped to allow the insertion and the movement of the wings 50,51 during the engaging and disengaging operations.
  • top part of the bracket outside the enclosure 42, has formed therein two openings 55,56 for the insertion of snap-engaging teeth of an auxiliary suspension part of the end pieces of the optical unit, as discussed further below.
  • a pair of teeth 88,89 are formed on the sides of the central rib 30, on either side of the bracket, said teeth engaging inside suitable notches 90,91,92,93 ( Fig. 1 ) formed in the upper edge of the covering panels 22,23.
  • This connection ensures correct, relative, longitudinal positioning of the brackets and the covering panels and prevents the brackets being displaced from their position and moving away from each other.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show, respectively, an exploded perspective view and centrally cross-sectioned view of the structure of the end pieces 31,32 of the optical unit.
  • a pair of seats 58,59 are formed in the top of the end piece, these being suitably shaped to allow the snap-engagement therein, via a lateral opening, of a pair of permanent magnets 60,61 which preferably have a cylindrical shape with an enlarged head 62 for ensuring axial locking of the magnets inside the respective seats.
  • the wedge-shaped form of the seats acts as a guide for insertion and longitudinal and transverse centring inside the openings 48,49 ( Fig. 2 ) of the bracket 20.
  • the end piece has, formed inside it, two groups of three tongues 63,64,65 and 66,67,68 between which the end edges of the reflectors 33, 34 are positioned ( Fig. 1 ).
  • the middle tongue i.e. 64 and 67, has an end tooth which snap-engages inside an opening 69,70 ( Fig. 1 ) formed in the reflectors.
  • a further element for engaging and joining together the end pieces and the reflectors consists of two teeth 75,76 formed in the bottom of the sides of the end piece.
  • the end pieces again also have internally two pairs of flanges 71,72 and 73,74 which define a central housing for a safety cable, the function of which will be explained further below.
  • the bottom flanges 73,74 which are arranged with their ends next to an anti-dazzle louver 36 ( Fig. 1 ) of the optical unit, form a receiving pocket for the safety cable.
  • the upper flanges may also be formed as one piece with the bottom flanges.
  • the optical unit is of the louver type, with transverse anti-dazzle louvers, replacement of the lamps requires removal of the optical unit which is magnetically engaged with the brackets.
  • the optical unit is provided with a pair of suspension cables so that, once disengaged from the brackets, it remains suspended underneath the duct at a suitable distance sufficient for performing the necessary maintenance operations.
  • the top of the end piece has an opening 77 for inserting and fixing the end of a cable 78.
  • the end piece In the vicinity of the opening 77 the end piece has a recess 79 inside which an engaging member 80 is inserted.
  • This member essentially consists of a resilient two-pronged clamp with end teeth 81,82 which snap-engage inside the opening 56 ( Fig. 4 ) of the bracket and a pair of lugs 83,84 which rest on the top of the end piece, while the bottom of the clamp is inserted in the end piece via the recess 79.
  • the two prongs of the clamp are connected by a middle body provided with an opening 85 for inserting and fixing the other end of the cable 78, which is housed inside the pocket formed between the flanges 73, 74.
  • the clamp snap-engages inside the opening 56 and the engaging member 80 is joined to the bracket.
  • Figure 6 shows a central cross-section through the end piece 31 essentially in order to show clearly its configuration at the bottom.
  • the end piece is shaped so as to form a recess 86 which terminates at the bottom in a gripping lip 87 which is used for handling the optical unit in order to raise it and engage the end piece with the bracket or, where necessary, to disengage it.
