Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leuchtenprofil, das ein hohles Grundprofil und ein in dem Grundprofil mittels einer Rastverbindung einsetzbares Leuchtmittelprofil umfasst, gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a luminaire profile which comprises a hollow base profile and an illuminant profile which can be inserted in the base profile by means of a latching connection, according to the preamble of claim 1.

In der Beleuchtungstechnik steht man immer wieder vor dem Problem, dass man eine Leuchte benötigt, die Flächen über eine größere Längserstreckung ausleuchten kann, wobei oftmals der zusätzliche Wunsch besteht, eine solche Leuchte bündig oder versenkt in Wände, Decken oder Möbelstücke einbauen zu können. Insbesondere der letztere Wunsch wirft aber die Frage der Zugänglichkeit der Leuchte für Austausch- und Wartungsarbeiten auf. Bisherige Leuchtensysteme konnten diesen Erfordernissen nicht ausreichend entsprechen.In lighting technology, there is always the problem that you need a lamp that can illuminate surfaces over a greater length, often the additional desire is to install such a lamp flush or recessed in walls, ceilings or furniture can. In particular, the latter request raises the question of the accessibility of the lamp for replacement and maintenance work. Previous lighting systems could not sufficiently meet these requirements.

Ein weiteres Problem bei bekannten zusammensteckbaren Leuchten besteht darin, dass die Einsätze nach dem Einstecken in ein Basismodul nicht immer in einer definierten Lage positioniert sind, wodurch sich ein unansehnlicher optischer Eindruck ergibt und manchmal auch die Funktionsfähigkeit der Leuchten beeinträchtigt wird. Jedenfalls lassen bei Leuchten nach dem Stand der Technik vorgesehene formschlüssige Verbindungen zwischen einem Basismodul und Leuchtmitteleinsetzen keine Positions- oder Ausrichtungsveränderungen der Leuchtmittel mehr zu. Es wäre aber in vielen Fällen wünschenswert, dass die Ausrichtung von Leuchtmitteln, die in einem Einsatz angeordnet sind, auch nach dem Einstecken dieses Einsatzes in ein Basismodul noch verändert werden kann.Another problem with known pluggable lights is that the inserts are not always positioned in a defined position after insertion into a base module, resulting in a unsightly visual impression and sometimes the functionality of the lights is impaired. In any case, in luminaires according to the prior art provided positive connections between a base module and illuminant insert no position or orientation changes of the bulbs more. However, it would be desirable in many cases that the orientation of bulbs that are arranged in an insert, even after inserting this insert into a base module can still be changed.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind dazu unterschiedliche Ausführungsvarianten von Leuchten bekannt. Beispielsweise ist in US RE32 899 E ein Leuchtenprofil mit einem hohlen Grundprofil geoffenbart, in das ein mittels einer Rastverbindung einsetzbares Leuchtmittelprofil eingeschnappt wird.From the prior art different versions of lights are known. For example, in US RE32 899 E discloses a light profile with a hollow base profile, in which a usable by means of a snap-in light-emitting profile is snapped.

Weiters betrifft das Dokument US 2004/184276 ein Fahrzeug-Beleuchtungssystem mit Halterungen für ein flexibles Beleuchtungsband mit innenliegenden Leuchten.Furthermore, the document concerns US 2004/184276 a vehicle lighting system with brackets for a flexible lighting band with internal lights.

Die Druckschrift US 2004/022061 A1 zeigt eine Warnbeleuchtung zur Befestigung an Fahrzeugen.The publication US 2004/022061 A1 shows a warning light for attachment to vehicles.

Aus US 2006/262521 A1 sind zahlreiche unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen eines Beleuchtungssystems zum Einbau in abgehängten Decken bekannt. Es wird jeweils ein Grundprofil gewählt, welches einerseits als Träger bzw. Auflager für die angrenzenden Deckenplatten und andererseits zur Halterung eines einrastbaren Leuchtmittelprofils dient.Out US 2006/262521 A1 Numerous different embodiments of a lighting system for installation in suspended ceilings are known. It is selected in each case a basic profile, which serves on the one hand as a support or support for the adjacent ceiling panels and on the other hand for holding a snap-in lamp profile.

Im Dokument EP 0 265 892 A1 ist ein Leuchtenprofil geoffenbart, bei dem in einem rautenförmigen Grundprofil eine Längsseite des rautenförmigen Grundprofils eine Ausnehmung bildet. In das Grundprofil ist ein Leuchtmittelprofil der Länge nach einschiebbar und in dem Leuchtprofil sind einzelne Leuchtmittel mit Kugelgelenken beweglich gelagert. Dieses bekannte Leuchtenprofil weist jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass das Leuchtmittelprofil in das Grundprofil nicht einrastbar ist, was die Handhabung wesentlich erschwert. Weiters ist die Verdrehbarkeit der einzelnen Leuchtmittel nur mit 90 Grad beschränkt möglich, was eine rein indirekte Beleuchtung nur über die Wand oder nur über die Decke nicht ermöglicht.In the document EP 0 265 892 A1 a luminaire profile is disclosed in which forms a recess in a diamond-shaped base profile, a longitudinal side of the diamond-shaped base profile. In the basic profile of a light source profile is inserted lengthwise and in the light profile individual bulbs are mounted with ball joints movable. However, this known luminaire profile has the disadvantage that the luminous element profile can not be latched into the basic profile, which makes handling considerably more difficult. Furthermore, the twistability of the individual bulbs is limited only possible with 90 degrees, which does not allow a purely indirect lighting only over the wall or only on the ceiling.

Weiters sind in EP 1 293 724 A die Vorteile von schwenkbar am Leuchtmittelprofil eingesetzten Leuchtmitteln beschrieben.Furthermore are in EP 1 293 724 A describes the advantages of lamps used pivotally on the light source profile.

US 2003/0103347 A1 offenbart ein Leuchtenprofil, wobei sich bei diesem bekannten Leuchtenprofil der Nachteil ergeben hat, dass ein Verschwenken des Leuchtmittelprofils zur veränderbaren Ausleuchtung des Raumes nicht möglich ist. Dies ist insbesondere in solchen Fällen von Nachteil, bei denen das Leuchtenprofil an der Decke relativ nahe an einer Wand montiert ist, da dann ein guter Teil der Leuchtkraft nur auf die Wand und nicht direkt in den Raum fällt. US 2003/0103347 A1 discloses a light profile, which has resulted in this known light profile of the disadvantage that a pivoting of the light source profile for variable illumination of the room is not possible. This is particularly disadvantageous in those cases in which the lighting profile is mounted on the ceiling relatively close to a wall, since then a good part of the luminosity falls only on the wall and not directly in the room.

US 7 207 696 B1 zeigt eine LED-Leuchte mit Leuchten, deren Projektionsrichtung verstellbar ist. US Pat. No. 7,207,696 B1 shows an LED lamp with lights whose projection direction is adjustable.

US3 404 268 A offenbart ein verformbares Leuchtensystem mit flexiblen röhrenförmigen Leuchten, die an Montagehalterungen befestigbar sind. US3 404 268 A discloses a deformable lighting system with flexible tubular lights that are attachable to mounting brackets.

Nachteilig an sämtlichen vorgenannten Leuchten ist, dass diese nicht zur formschönen Anordnung an Kanten von Räumen oder Möbeln geeignet sind.A disadvantage of all the aforementioned lights is that they are not suitable for shapely arrangement on edges of rooms or furniture.

Die vorliegende Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch Bereitstellung eines Leuchtenprofils, das ein hohles Grundprofil und ein in dem Grundprofil mittels einer Rastverbindung einsetzbares Leuchtmittelprofil umfasst, wobei an gegenüberliegenden Innenseiten des Grundprofils konkave Auflager und an dem Leuchtmittelprofil konvexe Auflager ausgebildet sind, die mit den konkaven Auflagern des Grundprofils korrespondieren, wobei die konkaven Auflager und/oder die konvexen Auflager - in Querschnittsrichtung gesehen - einem Radius folgen, wobei das Grundprofil einen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweist und eine Längsausnehmung über eine Kante entlang der Länge des Grundprofils verläuft.The present invention achieves this object by providing a luminaire profile which comprises a hollow base profile and a luminous element profile which can be inserted in the base profile by means of concave supports and convex supports on opposite inner sides of the base profile, which are connected to the concave supports of the Basic profiles correspond, wherein the concave supports and / or the convex supports - seen in the cross-sectional direction - follow a radius, wherein the base profile has a rectangular cross-section and a longitudinal recess extends over an edge along the length of the base profile.

In dem Leuchtmittelprofil sind die Leuchtmittel angeordnet. Bei der Montage wird zunächst nur das Grundprofil an oder im Untergrund befestigt, beispielsweise durch Verschrauben, und die nötigen elektrischen Verbindungen zu einem Stromnetz hergestellt. Anschließend kann das Leuchtmittelprofil aufgrund der vorgesehenen Rastverbindung durch bloßes "Einklicken" in das Grundprofil eingesetzt und darin gehalten werden. Da zumindest eine Gruppe aus konvexen Auflagern und konkaven Auflagern einem Radius folgt, ist das "Einklicken" mit geringem Kraftaufwand möglich, wobei dennoch im eingerasteten Zustand eine definierte Lage des Leuchtmittelprofils im Grundprofil gegeben ist. Darüber hinaus ist aufgrund des vorgesehenen Radius bei etlichen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung eine Justierung des Leuchtmittelprofils durch Verdrehen um die Längsachse möglich, wobei je nach Dimensionierung und Gestalt der Profile eine Verdrehbarkeit um Dutzende Grade erreicht werden kann, wie weiter unten näher erläutert wird.In the illuminant profile, the bulbs are arranged. During assembly, initially only the base profile is attached to or in the ground, for example by screwing, and made the necessary electrical connections to a power grid. Subsequently, the light-emitting profile can be inserted and held therein by mere "clicking in" due to the provided latching connection. Since at least one group of convex supports and concave supports follows a radius, it is possible to "click in" with little effort, yet in the locked state a defined position of the luminous element profile in the base profile is given. Moreover, due to the provided radius in some embodiments of the invention, an adjustment of the lamp profile by turning about the longitudinal axis is possible, depending on the dimensions and shape of the profiles a twistability can be achieved by dozens of degrees, as will be explained in more detail below.

Zum Austausch wird das Leuchtmittelprofil händisch, gegebenenfalls unter Unterstützung durch einen flachen Schraubenzieher oder dergl., aus dem Grundprofil herausgezogen. Durch diese Bauweise entfällt jeglicher Aufwand bei der Wartung. Überdies muss das erfindungsgemäße Leuchtenprofil zur Wartung nur von vorne zugänglich sein und kann daher an fast allen Positionen eingebaut werden.To replace the bulb profile is manually, possibly with the assistance of a flat screwdriver or the like., Pulled out of the base profile. This design eliminates any effort during maintenance. Moreover, the lighting profile according to the invention must be accessible for maintenance only from the front and can therefore be installed at almost all positions.

Einen sehr sicheren Sitz des Leuchtmittelprofils im Grundprofil erzielt man, wenn die konvexen Auflager und die konkaven Auflager miteinander korrespondierende gekrümmte Flächen, insbesondere Zylinderflächen, aufweisen. Eine vereinfachte Herstellbarkeit des Profils erreicht man gegebenenfalls, wenn entweder die konvexen Auflager oder die konkaven Auflager durch Längsstege realisiert sind, wobei die einzelnen Längsstege so zueinander versetzt sind, dass sie einem Radius folgen.A very secure fit of the lamp profile in the base profile is achieved if the convex supports and the concave supports have corresponding curved surfaces, in particular cylindrical surfaces. A simplified manufacturability of the profile is achieved if necessary, if either the convex supports or the concave supports are realized by longitudinal webs, wherein the individual longitudinal webs are offset from each other so that they follow a radius.

Gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung über die Länge des Leuchtenprofils wird erzielt, wenn in dem Leuchtmittelprofil über seine Länge verteilt eine Vielzahl an Leuchtmitteln, vorzugsweise Leuchtdioden, angeordnet ist. Leuchtdioden bieten eine hohe Leuchtkraft bei geringem Stromverbrauch und geringer Baugröße und sind deshalb besonders vorteilhaft verwendbar.Uniform illumination over the length of the lamp profile is achieved when a plurality of light sources, preferably light-emitting diodes, is arranged distributed over the length thereof in the light-emitting profile. LEDs offer a high luminosity with low power consumption and small size and are therefore particularly advantageous used.

Um einen bündigen Einbau des Leuchtenprofils in einen Untergrund, wie eine Wand oder Decke, zu ermöglichen, ist in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Leuchtmittel vertieft in dem Leuchtmittelprofil eingesetzt sind, wobei gegebenenfalls eine durchscheinende Abdeckung über den Leuchtmitteln angeordnet ist. Die durchscheinende Abdeckung bewirkt eine gleichmäßige Lichtabstrahlung und kann am Leuchtmittelprofil oder am Grundprofil befestigt werden. Die Abdeckung kann auch weitere Funktionen übernehmen, insbesondere kann sie als optische Entblendung und/oder Filterung sowie als mechanischer Staubschutz bzw. Berührschutz und Einrichtung zur Verhinderung von Verstellung durch Unbefugte fungieren.In order to enable a flush mounting of the lamp profile in a substrate, such as a wall or ceiling, is provided in one embodiment of the invention that the bulbs are used recessed in the light source profile, optionally a translucent cover is arranged above the light sources. The translucent cover causes a uniform light emission and can be attached to the light source profile or the base profile. The cover can also take on other functions, in particular, it can act as optical glare and / or filtering and as mechanical dust protection or contact protection and device to prevent adjustment by unauthorized persons.

Damit die Lichtabstrahlung des Leuchtenprofils variabel verstellbar ist, ist in einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Leuchtmittel schwenkbar am Leuchtmittelprofil angeordnet sind, wobei vorzugsweise die Leuchtmittel mittels Kugelgelenken am Leuchtmittelprofil befestigt sind. Dadurch wird eine Einzel-Verstellmöglichkeit der Leuchtmittel erreicht.So that the light emission of the luminaire profile is variably adjustable, in a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the luminous means are arranged pivotably on the luminous element profile, wherein preferably the luminous means are fastened by means of ball joints on the luminous element profile. As a result, a single adjustment of the light source is achieved.

Damit mehrere Leuchtenprofile unmittelbar aneinander anschließend zu einem Lichtsystem von beliebiger Länge kombiniert werden können, ist in einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass an den Enden des Grundprofils elektrische Steckverbinder zur seriellen elektrischen Verbindung mit benachbarten Grundprofilen angeordnet sind.So that several luminaire profiles can be combined directly adjacent to one another to form a light system of any desired length, in a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that electrical connectors for serial electrical connection to adjacent base profiles are arranged at the ends of the base profile.

Um dem Monteur Verkabelungsarbeiten zu ersparen, sind in einer Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtenprofils an der Innenseite des Grundprofils Stromschienen angeordnet, die elektrisch leitend mit Stromabnehmern an der Außenseite des Leuchtmittelprofils in Berührung stehen, sobald das Leuchtmittelprofil in das Grundprofil eingesetzt wird.In order to spare the fitter cabling work, in a variant of the luminaire profile according to the invention on the inside of the base profile busbars are arranged, which are in electrical contact with current collectors on the outside of the luminous element profile as soon as the luminous element profile is inserted into the basic profile.

Damit das Leuchtmittelprofil um seine Längsachse verdrehbar im Grundprofil gehalten werden kann, ist bei einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtenprofils vorgesehen, dass das Leuchtmittelprofil einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweist. Die konvex gekrümmte Außenfläche des Leuchtmittelprofils bildet die konvexen Auflager der Rastverbindung, die mit den konkaven Auflagern am Grundprofil zusammenwirkt.So that the luminous element profile can be held rotatably about its longitudinal axis in the base profile, it is provided in one embodiment of the luminaire profile according to the invention that the luminous element profile has a circular cross section. The convexly curved outer surface of the lamp profile forms the convex bearing of the latching connection, which cooperates with the concave supports on the base profile.

Bei einer einfachen Form eines erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtenprofils weist das Leuchtmittelprofil einen rechteckigen Querschnitt auf.In a simple form of a luminaire profile according to the invention, the luminous element profile has a rectangular cross section.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform eines Leuchtenprofils 10 in der Perspektive. Das Leuchtenprofil 10 umfasst ein hohles, U-förmiges Grundprofil 11, in das ein im Querschnitt rechtwinkeliges Leuchtmittelprofil 12 eingesetzt ist, wobei das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 mittels Rastverbindungen 15, 15 lösbar in dem Grundprofil 11 fixiert ist. Das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 weist in Abständen zylindrische Strahler 13 auf (in der Zeichnung ist nur einer dargestellt), in denen jeweils ein Leuchtmittel angeordnet ist. Die Strahler 13 sind mittels Kugelgelenken 14 an dem Leuchtmittelprofil 12 befestigt, wodurch sie schwenkbar sind. Die Rastverbindungen 15 zwischen dem Grundprofil 11 und dem Leuchtmittelprofil 12 werden anhand der Querschnittsdarstellungen des Grundprofils 11, siehe Fig. 3, und des Leuchtmittelprofils 12, siehe Fig. 2, verständlich. Das in Fig. 2 dargestellte Leuchtmittelprofil 12 weist an zwei gegenüberliegenden Außenseiten konvexe Auflager 12a, 12a auf, die sich als teilzylindrische Auflagerflächen, z.B. mit einem Radius R von 7,5 mm, über die Länge des Leuchtmittelprofils erstrecken. Diese konvexen Auflager 12a, 12a korrespondieren mit konkaven Auflagern 11a, 11a an zwei gegenüberliegenden Innenseiten des Grundprofils 11, wie in Fig. 3 zu sehen. Die konkaven Auflager 11a, 11a sind ebenfalls als teilzylindrische Auflagerflächen mit einem Radius R von 7,5 mm ausgeführt. Das Grundprofil 11 und das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 sind Strangprofile aus einem Metall oder einer Metalllegierung, beispielsweise auf Al-Basis. Bei der Montage wird zunächst das Grundprofil 11 an einem beliebigen Untergrund befestigt und daraufhin das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 entweder linear von einem Ende aus eingeschoben oder durch die Ausnehmung im Grundprofil 11 eingesetzt und nach innen gedrückt. Dabei gleitet das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 zunächst in das Innere des Grundprofils 11, bis die konvexen Auflager 12a, 12a die Oberkanten der U-Schenkel des Grundprofils 11 berühren. Durch sanften Druck auf das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 werden die U-Schenkel des Grundprofils von den konvexen Auflagern 12a, 12a elastisch auseinandergepresst, bis die konvexen Auflager 12a, 12a in die konkaven Auflager 11 a, 11a des Grundprofils 11 eintreten, worauf die U-Schenkel des Grundprofils sich federnd in ihre Ursprungsposition zurückbewegen und die konvexen Auflager 12a, 12a des Leuchtmittelprofils 12 in den konkaven Auflagern 11 a, 11 a in definierter Stellung festgehalten werden. Durch Herausziehen des Leuchtmittelprofils 12 aus dem Grundprofil 11 ist die Rastverbindung 15 wieder lösbar. Bezugszeichen 16 in Fig. 2 bezeichnet zwei Stromabnehmer, deren geometrische Lage mit Stromschienen 17 an der Innenseite des Basisschenkels des Grundprofils 11 (siehe Fig. 3) korrespondiert. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, sind bei dem Leuchtenprofil 10 das Grundprofil 11 und das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 so dimensioniert, dass im zusammengebauten Zustand nur ein geringer Freiraum zwischen den beiden Profilen besteht, wodurch im Wesentlichen keine Verdrehbarkeit des Leuchtmittelprofils 12 besteht. Dies ist hier aber auch nicht notwendig, da aufgrund der gelenkig angeordneten Strahler 13 die Licht-Abstrahlrichtung selektiv beliebig veränderbar ist. Es sei erwähnt, dass die Form der Strahler 13 in keiner Weise auf die dargestellte Zylinderform beschränkt ist. Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a lighting profile 10 in perspective. The light profile 10 comprises a hollow, U-shaped base profile 11, in which a rectangular in cross-section light-emitting profile 12 is used, wherein the light-emitting profile 12 by means of Locking connections 15, 15 is releasably fixed in the base profile 11. The light-emitting profile 12 has cylindrical radiators 13 at intervals (only one is shown in the drawing), in each of which a light source is arranged. The radiators 13 are attached by means of ball joints 14 on the light-emitting profile 12, whereby they are pivotable. The detent connections 15 between the base profile 11 and the light-emitting profile 12 are based on the cross-sectional views of the base section 11, see Fig. 3 , and the bulb profile 12, see Fig. 2 , understandable. This in Fig. 2 shown light-emitting profile 12 has on two opposite outer sides convex supports 12a, 12a, which extend as a part-cylindrical bearing surfaces, for example with a radius R of 7.5 mm, over the length of the lamp profile. These convex supports 12a, 12a correspond with concave supports 11a, 11a on two opposite inner sides of the base profile 11, as in FIG Fig. 3 to see. The concave supports 11a, 11a are also designed as part-cylindrical bearing surfaces with a radius R of 7.5 mm. The base profile 11 and the light-emitting profile 12 are extruded profiles made of a metal or a metal alloy, for example based on Al. During assembly, the base profile 11 is first attached to any surface and then the light-emitting profile 12 either inserted linearly from one end or inserted through the recess in the base section 11 and pressed inwards. In this case, the light-emitting profile 12 first slides into the interior of the base profile 11 until the convex supports 12a, 12a touch the upper edges of the U-legs of the base profile 11. By gentle pressure on the bulb profile 12, the U-legs of the base profile of the convex supports 12a, 12a are elastically pressed apart until the convex supports 12a, 12a in the concave supports 11a, 11a of the base profile 11, whereupon the U-legs of the Basic profiles are resiliently move back to their original position and the convex supports 12a, 12a of the lamp profile 12 in the concave supports 11 a, 11 a are held in a defined position. By pulling the bulb profile 12 from the base section 11, the locking connection 15 is releasable again. Reference numeral 16 in FIG Fig. 2 denotes two pantographs whose geometric position with busbars 17 on the inside of the base leg of the base profile 11 (see Fig. 3 ) corresponds. As in particular from Fig. 1 can be seen in the light profile 10, the basic profile 11 and the light-emitting 12 are dimensioned so that in the assembled state, only a small clearance between the two profiles, which essentially no Twistability of the lamp profile 12 is made. However, this is also not necessary here, since the light emission direction can be selectively changed as desired due to the articulated radiator 13. It should be noted that the shape of the radiator 13 is in no way limited to the illustrated cylindrical shape.

Fig. 4 zeigt im Querschnitt eine alternative Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Grundprofils 21. Das Grundprofil 21 weist einen prinzipiell quadratischen Querschnitt auf, wobei eine Längsausnehmung 21b über eine Kante entlang der Länge des Grundprofils 21 verläuft. An den Schnitträndern der Seiten 21d, 21d des Grundprofils 21 sind Nasen 21c, 21c angeordnet, in denen jeweils ein konkaves Auflager 21a, 21a ausgebildet ist, die hier als teilzylindrische Flächen mit einem Radius R von 7,5 mm ausgebildet sind. Der Abstand der konkaven Auflager 21a, 21a zueinander ist so gewählt, dass beispielsweise das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 aus Fig. 2 in das Grundprofil 21 eingeklickt werden kann, wobei die konvexen Auflager 12a, 12a des Leuchtmittelprofils 12 mit den konkaven Auflagern 21a, 21a des Grundprofils 21 eine Rastverbindung bilden. Fig. 4 shows in cross section an alternative embodiment of a basic profile 21 according to the invention. The base profile 21 has a basically square cross-section, wherein a longitudinal recess 21b extends over an edge along the length of the base profile 21. At the cutting edges of the sides 21d, 21d of the base profile 21 lugs 21c, 21c are arranged, in each of which a concave support 21a, 21a is formed, which are here designed as part-cylindrical surfaces with a radius R of 7.5 mm. The distance between the concave supports 21a, 21a to each other is chosen so that, for example, the bulb profile 12 from Fig. 2 can be clicked into the base profile 21, wherein the convex supports 12a, 12a of the lamp profile 12 with the concave supports 21a, 21a of the base profile 21 form a latching connection.

Fig. 5 zeigt im Querschnitt eine Ausführungsform eines Grundprofils 31 mit hohlem, rundem Querschnitt. Eine Längsausnehmung 31b verläuft entlang der Länge des Grundprofils 31, so dass dieses allgemein einen seitlich offenen Zylinder bildet. An den Längsrändern des Grundprofils 31 sind Nasen 31c, 31c angeordnet, in denen jeweils ein konkaves Auflager 31a, 31a ausgebildet ist, die hier als teilzylindrische Flächen mit einem Radius R von 7,5 mm ausgebildet sind. Der Abstand der konkaven Auflager 31a, 31a zueinander ist so gewählt, dass beispielsweise das Leuchtmittelprofil 12 aus Fig. 2 in das Grundprofil 31 eingeklickt werden kann, wobei die konvexen Auflager 12a, 12a des Leuchtmittelprofils 12 mit den konkaven Auflagern 31a, 31a des Grundprofils 31 eine Rastverbindung bilden. Fig. 5 shows in cross section an embodiment of a base profile 31 with a hollow, round cross-section. A longitudinal recess 31b extends along the length of the base profile 31, so that this generally forms a laterally open cylinder. At the longitudinal edges of the base profile 31 lugs 31c, 31c are arranged, in each of which a concave support 31a, 31a is formed, which are here designed as part-cylindrical surfaces with a radius R of 7.5 mm. The distance between the concave supports 31a, 31a to each other is selected so that, for example, the bulb profile 12 from Fig. 2 can be clicked into the base profile 31, wherein the convex supports 12a, 12a of the lamp profile 12 with the concave supports 31a, 31a of the base profile 31 form a latching connection.

Fig. 6 zeigt das Grundprofil 31 aus Fig. 5 in schematischer Draufsicht auf die Längsausnehmung 31b. Man erkennt am Boden des Grundprofils 31 schematisch dargestellte Stromschienen 37, die mit Kabeln 39 verbunden sind, die längs durch das Grundprofil 31 verlaufen und an beiden Enden des Grundprofils 31 in Steckern 38 münden, wobei die Stecker 38 mit Steckern benachbarter Grundprofile verbindbar sind. Die Stromschienen 37 sind so angeordnet, dass auch bei Verdrehen eines eingesetzten Leuchtmittelprofils dessen Stromabnehmer noch elektrischen Kontakt mit den Stromschienen 37 haben. Fig. 6 shows the basic profile 31 Fig. 5 in a schematic plan view of the longitudinal recess 31b. It can be seen at the bottom of the base profile 31 schematically illustrated busbars 37 which are connected to cables 39 which extend longitudinally through the base profile 31 and open at both ends of the base profile 31 in plugs 38, wherein the plug 38 with connectors of adjacent base profiles are connectable. The Bus bars 37 are arranged so that even when turning an inserted light source profile whose pantograph still have electrical contact with the bus bars 37.

Fig. 7 zeigt in der Perspektive ein U-förmiges Leuchtmittelprofil 42, an dessen Basis Strahler 43 mittels Kugelgelenken 44 befestigt sind. In den Strahlern 43 befinden sich Leuchtmittel 49 in Gestalt von Leuchtdioden. An den Schenkeln des Leuchtmittelprofils 42 sind konvexe Auflager 42a, 42a ausgebildet, die mit konkaven Auflagern eines dazupassenden Grundprofils eine Rastverbindung eingehen können. Fig. 7 shows in perspective a U-shaped light-emitting profile 42, at the base radiator 43 are fixed by means of ball joints 44. In the radiators 43 are lamps 49 in the form of light emitting diodes. On the legs of the lamp profile 42 convex supports 42a, 42a are formed, which can form a latching connection with concave supports a matching basic profile.

Fig. 8 und Fig. 9 zeigen in Vorderansicht bzw. in der Perspektive eine weitere Ausführungsform eines an sich bekannten Leuchtenprofils 50. Dieses weist eine Mehrzahl von in-line angeordneten U-förmigen Grundprofilen 51 und ein darin eingesetztes zylindrisches Leuchtmittelprofil 52 auf. Dabei bildet die zylindrische Außenwand des Leuchtmittelprofils 52 konvexe Auflager, die in die einander gegenüberliegenden konkaven Auflager 51a, 51a der Grundprofile 51 eingerastet sind. Die konkaven Auflager 51a,51a der Grundprofile 51 sind so gestaltet, dass das zylindrische Leuchtmittelprofil 52 um seine Längsachse in den Grundprofilen 51 drehbar ist, so dass die Licht-Abstrahlrichtung von Leuchtmitteln 59, die in Strahlern 53 im Leuchtmittelprofil 52 angeordnet sind, quer zur Längsachse des Leuchtmittelprofils 52 verstellbar ist. Die Figuren 8 und 9 zeigen unterschiedliche Drehstellungen des Leuchtmittelprofils. FIGS. 8 and 9 show in front view and in perspective another embodiment of a per se known luminaire profile 50. This has a plurality of in-line arranged U-shaped base profiles 51 and a cylindrical illuminant 52 inserted therein. In this case, the cylindrical outer wall of the light-emitting profile 52 forms convex supports which are latched into the mutually opposite concave supports 51a, 51a of the base profiles 51. The concave supports 51a, 51a of the base profiles 51 are designed so that the cylindrical illuminant profile 52 is rotatable about its longitudinal axis in the base profiles 51, so that the light-emitting direction of bulbs 59, which are arranged in radiators 53 in the light source profile 52, transverse to Longitudinal axis of the lamp profile 52 is adjustable. The FIGS. 8 and 9 show different rotational positions of the lamp profile.

Fig. 10 zeigt im Querschnitt eine weitere Ausgestaltung eines Leuchtenprofils 60, das Ähnlichkeit mit dem in den Figuren 8 und 9 gezeigten Leuchtenprofil 50 hat, insbesondere dasselbe Leuchtmittelprofil 52 verwendet, allerdings mit bündig versenkten Strahlern 53'. Das verwendete U-förmige Grundprofil 61 jedoch unterscheidet sich von den vorangegangenen Ausführungsformen insofern, als die einander gegenüberliegenden konkaven Auflager 61a, 61a jeweils durch drei Längsstege 61e realisiert sind, die so zueinander versetzt sind, dass sie - in Querschnittsrichtung gesehen - einem Radius folgen, genauer gesagt dem Radius des zylindrischen Leuchtmittelprofils 52. Aufgrund der bündigen Versenkung der Strahler 53' ist es möglich, auf das Grundprofil 61 eine durchscheinende Abdeckung 70 zur Vergleichmäßigung der Lichtabstrahlung aufzusetzen. Fig. 10 shows in cross section a further embodiment of a lamp profile 60, the similarity with that in the FIGS. 8 and 9 shown lamp profile 50 has, in particular the same luminous flux 52 used, but with flush recessed emitters 53 '. However, the U-shaped base profile 61 used differs from the previous embodiments in that the opposing concave supports 61a, 61a are respectively realized by three longitudinal webs 61e offset from each other so as to follow a radius when viewed in the cross-sectional direction, more precisely, the radius of the cylindrical illuminant profile 52. Due to the flush sinking of the radiator 53 ', it is possible to put on the base profile 61, a translucent cover 70 to equalize the light emission.

Es sei erwähnt, dass alle vorgestellten Grundprofile mit allen Leuchtmittelprofilen beliebig kombinierbar sind, so dass ein äußerst vielseitiges Leuchtenprofil-System geschaffen ist.It should be noted that all presented basic profiles can be combined with all light sources as desired, so that an extremely versatile light profile system is created.
