Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Balkenleuchte für mindestens eine aus einem Glaskolben gebildeten länglichen Lampe mit gekröpften Enden, welche ein längliches Leuchtengehäuse aufweist. Derartige gekröpfte Lampen sind in ihren Endbereichen derart geformt, dass jeweils ein Wendelabschnitt des Glaskolbens parallel zum Hauptabschnitt des Glaskolbens verläuft. Dabei sind die Kontaktierungsstifte der Lampenwendel im Stirnbereich des Wendelabschnitts untergebracht und die Lampe wird von jeweils in den Stirnbereichen des Leuchtengehäuses angebrachten Fassungen gehalten.The invention relates to a beam lamp for at least one formed from a glass bulb elongated lamp with bent ends, which has an elongated luminaire housing. Such cranked lamps are shaped in their end regions such that in each case a helical section of the glass bulb runs parallel to the main portion of the glass bulb. In this case, the contacting pins of the lamp filament are accommodated in the end region of the filament section, and the lamp is held by respective mountings in the end regions of the luminaire housing.

Balkenleuchten sind seit langem bekannt. Der Einsatz derartiger Balkenleuchten mit Lampen mit gekröpften Enden ist erst seit kurzem möglich, weil derartige Lampen bisher kaum produziert wurden. Beispielsweise ist nun eine derartige Lampe in Form der Leuchtstofflampe des Typs T16 von Osram mit Bezeichnung LUMILUX Seamless auf dem Markt erhältlich. Der Einsatz derartiger Lampen kommt einem seit lange bestehenden Wunsch von Lichtplanern und Architekten entgegen. Mehrere Balkenleuchten sollen demnach stirnseitig hintereinander in der Art von Lichtbändern montiert werden und dabei sollen die Stoßstellen möglichst unauffällig wirken, insbesondere dann wenn die Lampen in Betrieb sind. Es ergibt sich somit eine nahezu durchgängig leuchtende Linie. Mit herkömmlichen stirnseitig gesockelten Leuchtstofflampen war dies bisher nicht in zufriedenstellender Weise möglich.Beam lights have been known for a long time. The use of such beam lights with lamps with bent ends is only recently possible, because such lamps have been barely produced. For example, such a lamp in the form of the T16 fluorescent lamp from Osram with the designation LUMILUX Seamless is now available on the market. The use of such lamps meets a long-standing wish of lighting designers and architects. Several beam lights should therefore be mounted frontally one behind the other in the manner of light bands and thereby the joints should act as inconspicuous as possible, especially when the lamps are in operation. This results in a nearly continuous luminous line. This has not been possible satisfactorily with conventional end-capped fluorescent lamps.

Der Einsatz des neuen Leuchmittels schafft jedoch wiederum neue Probleme. Herkömmliche Fassungen für T16 Leuchtstofflampen erfordern ein Verdrehen der Lampe, um diese elektrisch zu kontaktieren und mechanisch zu fixieren. Werden nun diese herkömmlichen Fassungen auch für die neuen Lampen verwendet, so erfordert dies einen großen Aktionsradius, um ein Verdrehen überhaupt zu ermöglichen. Dieser große Aktionsradius ist erforderlich, weil bei der gekröpften Lampe die Kontaktierungsstifte nicht auf der selben Achse mit dem Hauptabschnitt des Glaskolben liegen, wie dies beispielsweise bei herkömmlichen rohrförmigen Leuchtstofflampen der Fall wäre. Diese Achsverschiebung bedingt den größeren Aktionradius beim Lampenwechsel.However, the use of the new luminous means in turn creates new problems. Conventional sockets for T16 Fluorescent lamps require a twisting of the lamp in order to electrically contact and mechanically fix it. Now, if these conventional versions are also used for the new lamps, so this requires a large radius of action to allow a twisting at all. This large radius of action is required because in the cranked lamp the Kontaktierungsstifte are not on the same axis with the main portion of the glass bulb, as would be the case for example with conventional tubular fluorescent lamps. This axial displacement causes the larger action radius when changing the lamp.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Balkenleuchte für gekröpfte Lampen derart auszugestalten, dass diese einerseits möglichst kleinbauend ist und andererseits dass diese einen einfachen Lampenwechsel ermöglicht.It is the object of the invention to design a beam lamp for cranked lamps in such a way that, on the one hand, this is as small as possible and, on the other hand, that this allows a simple lamp replacement.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung wird das Leuchtengehäuse der Balkenleuchte an Lampen mit gekröpften Enden in der Weise angepasst, als dass das Gehäuse im Stirnbereich Aufnahmeräume aufweist, welche die Wendelabschnitte der Lampe umschließen, wenn sich die Lampe in Betriebsposition befindet, wobei die beiden Fassungen verstellbar gelagert sind, um die Wendelabschnitte der Lampe aus der Betriebsposition in eine Lampenwechselposition außerhalb des Aufnahmeraumes zu bewegen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Leuchte sowohl kleinbauend auszuführen, als auch den notwendigen Spielraum zu schaffen, um die Lampe in der Fassung zu drehen.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. The inventive solution, the lamp housing of the beam lamp is adapted to lamps with bent ends in such a way that the housing has receiving space in the front area, which surround the filament sections of the lamp when the lamp is in the operating position, the two versions are mounted adjustable to move the filament portions of the lamp from the operating position to a lamp replacement position outside the receiving space. In this way it is possible to make the lamp both physically small, as well as to provide the necessary leeway to turn the lamp in the socket.

Auch für die neuartigen, gekröpften Lampen werden bevorzugt Standardfassungen für T16 Leuchtstofflampen verwendet. Um dies zu ermöglichen ist entsprechend Anspruch 2 ein Fassungsträger vorgesehen der die Standardfassungen, beispielsweise mittels Schnappbefestigung, hält. An diesen Fassungsträger, der vorzugsweise als Kunststoffspritzteil ausgeführt ist, können diverse Funktionselemente angeformt werden, wie beispielsweise eine Deckplatte, welche zumindest teilweise den Aufnahmeraum abdecken kann (Anspruch 3), oder wie beispielsweise Führungs- und Anschlagelemente zur Realisierung der Hubbewegung und der Positionsfixierungen im Zusammenspiel mit einem Führungs- und Halteelement entsprechend den Ansprüchen 4 bis 10. Das Führungselement kann, wie in Anspruch 6 beschrieben, gabelartige ausgebildet sein und wird dann vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gespritzt oder es kann L-förmig gemäß Anspruch 8 ausgebildet sein. In dieser Ausführungsform ist es bevorzugt aus Stahlblech gestanzt und gebogen.Standard versions for T16 fluorescent lamps are also preferred for the new cranked lamps. In order to make this possible, a socket carrier is provided according to claim 2 which holds the standard frames, for example by means of snap fastening. To this socket carrier, which is preferably designed as a plastic injection molded part, various functional elements can be formed, such as a cover plate which at least partially cover the receiving space (claim 3), or as for example guide and stop elements for the realization of the lifting movement and the position fixings in interaction with a guide and holding element according to claims 4 to 10. The guide element may, as described in claim 6, be fork-like and is then preferably molded from plastic or it may be L-shaped according to claim 8. In this embodiment, it is preferably stamped and bent from sheet steel.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Balkenleuchte (1) mit einer Lampe (3) mit gekröpften Enden. Die Lampe (3) befindet sich in der Betriebsposition. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die Darstellung der Figuren 1 und 2 nur den Stirnbereich der Leuchte (1) zeigen, wobei festzuhalten ist, dass das andere Ende der Leuchte (1) identisch aufgebaut ist.The FIG. 1 shows a beam lamp according to the invention (1) with a lamp (3) with bent ends. The lamp (3) is in the operating position. It should be noted that the presentation of the Figures 1 and 2 show only the front of the lamp (1), it should be noted that the other end of the lamp (1) is identical.

Die Leuchte (1) weist ein in etwa quaderförmiges Leuchtengehäuse (2) auf, welches zur Aufnahme von nicht dargestellten Betriebsgeräten, elektrischen Versorgungsleitungen, Reflektoren und Optiken sowie von Montagemitteln zur Befestigung der Leuchte (1) an Decken und dergleichen geeignet ist. Das Leuchtengehäuse ist vorzugsweise ein Aluminiumprofil, welches stirnseitig mit einer vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigten Abdeckung (9) abgeschlossen ist.The lamp (1) has an approximately cuboid light housing (2), which is suitable for receiving not shown operating devices, electrical supply lines, reflectors and optics and mounting means for mounting the lamp (1) to ceilings and the like. The luminaire housing is preferably an aluminum profile, which is closed off at the end side with a cover (9), preferably made of plastic.

Im dargestellten Stirnbereich des Leuchtengehäuses (2) ist ein Aufnahmeraum (6) vorgesehen, der so bemessen ist, dass der Wendelabschnitt (4') der Lampe (3) samt zugeordneter Fassung (8) in ihm Platz findet. Diese Lampenposition entspricht der Betriebsposition, wobei hier lediglich der Hauptabschnitt (4) des Glaskolbens der Lampe (3) außerhalb des Leuchtengehäuses (2) liegt.In the illustrated end region of the lamp housing (2) a receiving space (6) is provided, which is dimensioned so that the coil section (4 ') of the lamp (3) together with associated socket (8) fits into it. This lamp position corresponds to the operating position, in which case only the main section (4) of the glass bulb of the lamp (3) lies outside the luminaire housing (2).

In Figur 2 ist im Gegensatz dazu die Lampe (3) sowie die Fassung (8) in einer ersten Lampenwechselposition dargestellt. In dieser Position ist die Lampe (3) noch in der Fassung (8) mechanisch fixiert und elektrisch kontaktiert. Um die Lampe (3) aus der Fassung (8) herauszunehmen, muss diese um etwa 90 Grad gedreht werden, wobei die Drehachse der Längsachse des Wendelabschnitts (4') des Glaskolbens der Lampe (3) entspricht.In FIG. 2 In contrast, the lamp (3) and the socket (8) is shown in a first lamp replacement position. In this position, the lamp (3) is mechanically fixed in the socket (8) and electrically contacted. In order to remove the lamp (3) from the socket (8), it must be turned by about 90 degrees, wherein the axis of rotation of the longitudinal axis of the coil portion (4 ') of the glass bulb of the lamp (3) corresponds.

Zur Verdeutlichung der Funktionsweise zeigt die Figur 3 lediglich ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Führungs- und Halteelements (5) sowie die in einem Fassungsträger (16) montierte Fassung (8). Fassungsträger (16) und Fassung (8) befinden sich in Betriebsposition, wobei zu beachten ist, dass das zentrale und drehbare Verriegelungselement (17) der Fassung (8) so dargestellt ist, dass die Kontaktstifte einer Lampe in die Fassung eingeführt werden können. Dieses zentrale Verriegelungselement (17) wird bei der Drehung einer Lampe um 90 Grad immer mit gedreht und sichert auf diese Weise die Lampe.To clarify the operation shows the FIG. 3 only a first embodiment of a guide and retaining element (5) and in a socket carrier (16) mounted socket (8). Lampholder (16) and socket (8) are in operating position, it being noted that the central and rotatable locking element (17) of the socket (8) is shown so that the contact pins of a lamp can be inserted into the socket. This central locking element (17) is always rotated by 90 degrees with the rotation of a lamp and thus secures the lamp.

Das Führungs- und Halteelement (5) weist einen gabelartigen Abschnitt und Seitenwände (7, 7') auf sowie einen Arm (15) zur Montage des Führungs- und Halteelements (5) im Leuchtengehäuse (2). Die Seitenwände (7, 7') sind mit Führungsschlitzen (9, 9') versehen, in die Führungsarme (10, 10') des Fassungsträgers (16) eingreifen. Somit ist der Verstellbereich der Fassung (8) für die Hubbewegung zwischen Betriebsposition und Lampenwechselposition definiert. In Figur 5 ist ersichtlich, dass der Fassungsträger (16) in der Betriebsposition verrastet ist. Hierbei hintergreift ein hakenförmiges Ende (12) einer Federzunge (11) des Führungs- und Halteelements (5) eine obere Anschlagkante 13 des Fassungsträgers (16).The guide and retaining element (5) has a fork-like portion and side walls (7, 7 ') and an arm (15) for mounting the guide and retaining element (5) in the lamp housing (2). The side walls (7, 7 ') are provided with guide slots (9, 9'), in the guide arms (10, 10 ') of the socket carrier (16) engage. Thus, the adjustment of the socket (8) for the lifting movement between the operating position and lamp replacement position is defined. In FIG. 5 it can be seen that the socket carrier (16) is locked in the operating position. Here, a hook-shaped end (12) of a spring tongue (11) of the guide and holding element (5) engages behind an upper stop edge 13 of the socket carrier (16).

Um den Fassungsträger (16) und damit die Fassung (8) in die Lampenwechselposition gemäß Figur 4 zu bewegen, muss dieser mit leichtem Zug angehoben werden, um die Verrastung zwischen dem hakenförmigen Ende (12) der Federzunge (11) und der oberen Anschlagkante (13) zu lösen. Wird der Fassungsträger dann soweit angehoben, dass das hakenförmige Ende (12) der Zunge (11) hinter die untere Anschlagkante (14) des Fassungsträgers (16) greift, ist der Fassungsträger (16) in der Lampenwechselposition fixiert (Figur 6). Durch Drücken auf den Fassungsträger (16) kann diese Fixierung wieder gelöst werden und dieser in die Betriebsposition gebracht werden.To the socket carrier (16) and thus the socket (8) in the lamp change position according to FIG. 4 to move, must this can be lifted with a slight pull to release the latching between the hook-shaped end (12) of the spring tongue (11) and the upper stop edge (13). If the socket carrier is then raised so far that the hook-shaped end (12) of the tongue (11) engages behind the lower stop edge (14) of the socket carrier (16), the socket carrier (16) is fixed in the lamp changing position ( FIG. 6 ). By pressing on the socket carrier (16), this fixation can be released again and this can be brought into the operating position.

Vorzugsweise weist der Fassungsträger (16) eine Deckplatte (18) auf, wobei zu beachten ist, dass diese Platte nur in den Figuren 3 bis 6 dargestellt ist. Diese Platte deckt in der Betriebsposition zumindest teilweise den Aufnahmeraum (6) ab und gewährleistet so einen harmonischen Gesamteindruck der Leuchte (1). Die Oberseite der Deckplatte (18) kann weiß sein oder mit reflektierendem Material beschichtet werden. Zur Unterstützung der Hubbewegung aus der Betriebsposition in die Montageposition kann außerdem ein Federelement zwischen Führungs- und Halteelement (5) und Fassungsträger vorgesehen werden.Preferably, the socket carrier (16) on a cover plate (18), wherein it should be noted that this plate only in the FIGS. 3 to 6 is shown. This plate covers in the operating position at least partially from the receiving space (6) and thus ensures a harmonious overall impression of the lamp (1). The top of the cover plate (18) may be white or coated with reflective material. To support the lifting movement from the operating position to the mounting position, a spring element between guide and holding element (5) and socket carrier can also be provided.

In Figur 7 ist ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel eines Führungs- und Halteelements (21) sowie die in einem Fassungsträger (25) montierte Fassung (8) gezeigtIn FIG. 7 a second embodiment of a guide and retaining element (21) and in a socket carrier (25) mounted socket (8) is shown

Das Führungs- und Halteelement (21) weist ein L-förmiges Basisteil (15') mit Ausnehmungen (20, 22) auf. Am Fassungsträger (25) sind rückseitig Führungsnuten (24) angeformt, die beidseitig einen Führungsarm (27) des Führungs- und Halteelements (21) übergreifen. Dieser Arm definiert den Verstellbereich der Fassung (8) für die Hubbewegung zwischen Betriebsposition und Lampenwechselposition. In Figur 9 ist ersichtlich, dass der Fassungsträger (25) in der Betriebsposition verrastet ist. Hierbei hintergreift ein hakenförmiges Ende (23) einer Federzunge (26) des Fassungsträgers (25) einen unteren Anschlag (20) des Führungs- und Halteelements (21).The guide and retaining element (21) has an L-shaped base part (15 ') with recesses (20, 22). On the frame support (25) guide grooves (24) are formed on the back, which overlap on both sides a guide arm (27) of the guiding and holding element (21). This arm defines the adjustment range of the socket (8) for the lifting movement between the operating position and the lamp replacement position. In FIG. 9 it can be seen that the socket carrier (25) is locked in the operating position. Here, a hook-shaped end (23) of a spring tongue (26) of the socket carrier (25) engages behind a lower stop (20) of the guide and retaining element (21).

Um den Fassungsträger (25) und damit die Fassung (8) in die Lampenwechselposition gemäß Figur 10 zu bewegen, muss dieser mit leichtem Zug angehoben werden, um die Verrastung zwischen dem hakenförmigen Ende (23) der Federzunge (26) und des unteren Anschlags (20) zu lösen. Wird der Fassungsträger dann soweit angehoben, dass das hakenförmige Ende (23) der Zunge (26) hinter den oberen Anschlag (22) des Führungs- und Halteelements (21) greift, ist der Fassungsträger (25) in der Lampenwechselposition fixiert (Figur 10). Durch Drücken auf den Fassungsträger (25) kann diese Fixierung wieder gelöst werden und dieser in die Betriebsposition gebracht werden.To the socket carrier (25) and thus the socket (8) in the lamp change position according to FIG. 10 to move, this must be lifted with a light train to release the latching between the hook-shaped end (23) of the spring tongue (26) and the lower stop (20). If the socket carrier is then raised so far that the hook-shaped end (23) of the tongue (26) engages behind the upper stop (22) of the guide and retaining element (21), the socket carrier (25) is fixed in the lamp replacement position ( FIG. 10 ). By pressing on the socket carrier (25), this fixation can be released again and this can be brought into the operating position.

Der Fasssungsträger (25) besitzt hakenförmige Anformungen 19. Diese dienen der Führung von (nicht dargestellten) Drähten für die elektrische Versorgung - insbesondere während der Hubbewegung - welche mit der Fassung (8) verbunden sind und durch den Hohlraum (28)des Fassungsträgers (25) unterhalb der Fassung (8) zu dieser geführt werden.The Fasssungsträger (25) has hook-shaped projections 19. These serve to guide wires (not shown) for the electrical supply - especially during the lifting movement - which are connected to the socket (8) and through the cavity (28) of the socket carrier (25 ) are guided below the socket (8) to this.

Vorzugsweise wird der L-förmige Teil des Führungs- und Halteelement (21) aus einem ausreichend steifen Stahlband gestanzt und gebogen während der der gabelartige Teil des Führungs- und Halteelements (5) vorzugsweise als Kunststoffspritzteil hergestellt wird.Preferably, the L-shaped part of the guide and holding member (21) is punched from a sufficiently rigid steel band and bent while the fork-like part of the Guide and holding element (5) is preferably made as a plastic injection molded part.
