  • the abutting means comprise a plurality of abutting protrusions, in the example a pair of protruding tabs 50, which project out from the mounting plate 38 and that are suitable for cooperating with an edge portion of the concave wall.
  • the hook 52 and the elastic tooth 54 are arranged between the protruding tabs 50.
  • the mounting device 24 comprises locking means 57 for removably locking the mounting device to a supporting structure 58 foreseen in each housing space 14, 16 of the lighting body 12.
  • the supporting structure includes in particular a guiding structure comprising a pair of parallel rails or a track 60.

  • the centring and guiding projection 64 is suitable for being intermediate between the rails 60 so as to allow the position of the mounting device along such a structure to be adjusted.
  • the interlocking of the mounting device 24 with the reflector 22 is carried out by bringing the concave wall of the reflector together with the base plate 48 of the mounting device so that the hook 52 passes through the latching recess 56 arranged on the concave wall. Thereafter, the reflector is made to translate towards the mounting plate 38.

In such a way the base plates 48 of the mounting devices are held tight between the nuts of the bolts and the track of the guiding structure ( figure 3 ).
  • one or more lamp holders can be fixed to each mounting device, depending on the desired operative configuration of the lamps 30, 32.
  • two linear lamp holders 28 can be fixed in a substantially side by side arrangement by inserting the two arms 46 of each lamp holder in one of the holes 40 and in one of the slots 42, respectively.
  • a single linear lamp holder 28 and, in a selective and mutually exclusive way, a single compact lamp holder 26 can be fixed to the mounting plate 38. More specifically the linear lamp holder 28 is fixed by inserting the two arms 46 respectively into the two slots 42, whereas the compact lamp holder 26 is fixed by inserting the latching protrusions (not clearly visible in the figures) inside the respective holes 44.
  • the possibility of mounting both a single lamp and two lamps onto the lighting group also advantageously allows the light intensity of each lighting group to be increased or reduced depending on the specific requirements.

  • the second plurality of fixing openings could be made so as to exclusively allow a single linear lamp holder 28 and, in a selective and mutually exclusive manner with respect to such a lamp holder, a single compact lamp holder 26 to be fixed to the mounting device. This could be carried out, for example, by not foreseeing the holes 40 on the mounting plate.
  • the second plurality of fixing openings 40, 42, 44 can be made so as to allow the lamp holder for compact lamp 26 to be fixed in a mutually exclusive manner with respect to the single lamp holder 28 for linear lamps, without allowing in this case the pair of lamp holders 28 for linear lamps to be fixed in a substantially side by side position.
  • the second plurality of fixing openings could be made so as to exclusively allow to fix to the mounting device a single linear lamp holder 28 and, in a selective and mutually exclusive way with respect to the single linear lamp holder, two linear lamp holders in a side by side position. This could be carried out, for example, by not foreseeing the three holes 44.

Moreover, the fixing spring clip 100 comprises a flat or plate shaped bridging fitting portion 115, which is intermediate between the pair of clamping arms 103, 105 and the pair of grasping tabs 108, 112. More specifically, in the example of figure 12 , the fixing spring clip 100 is generally substantially in the shape of a bent "H". Even more specifically, the fixing spring clip is substantially "H"-shaped with at least the clamping arms bent.
  • the clamping arms 103, 105 and the grasping tabs 108, 112 project from two opposite sides with respect to the bridging fitting portion 115.

In such a case the clamping arms comprise respective latching portions 116 substantially counter-shaped with respect to corresponding matching portions of the base plate, so as to allow the fixing spring clip to be coupled onto such a plate. According to a less advantageous alternative embodiment, such a clip, however, could also be substantially irremovably fixed to the mounting device 24. In such a case the fixing spring clip could be, for example, screwed, riveted, or glued to the base plate 48. As can be observed in figure 12 , the fixing spring clip is advantageously suitable for being mounted across the base plate 48 so that the bridging fitting portion 115 can be arranged in contact with such a plate.
  • the locking means for removably locking the mounting device to the supporting structure 58 comprise an element for quarter-turn locking.
  • the locking means in particular comprise a locking hole or opening (not visible in the figures), foreseen on the base plate 48, and a locking pin 118 rotatably mounted in such a hole.

  • the head portion 119 comprises an actuating recess 129 suitable for receiving a tool (not represented in the figures), such as a screwdriver, to actuate the pin 119 in rotation.
  • the pin also comprises a substantially "T"-shaped foot portion 132.
  • the foot portion 132 is substantially parallel to the rails 60 so as to not mechanically interfere with such rails.
  • the pin takes on the locking position ( figure 14 ) such a portion is suitable for mechanically interfering with the track 60 to lock the mounting device 24 onto the supporting structure 58.
  • the fixing spring clip 100 is advantageously suitable for being operatively intermediate between the mounting device 24 and the reflector 22, more preferably between the base plate 48 and the reflector 22.
  • the reflector 22 comprises a pair of movement openings 135, 137, in the example the same as one another, which are suitable for being passed through by the grasping tabs 108, 112, respectively. More specifically, while they are passed through by the grasping tabs, the movement openings 135, 137 are suitable for allowing a mutual approach movement of such tabs so as to decouple the mounting device 24 from the supporting structure 58.
  • each of the movement openings 135, 137 each extend from the same end of the reflector 22.
  • each of the movement openings 135, 137 includes a guiding portion 139, for inserting the grasping tabs 108, 112, and a moving portion 142, for the movement of such tabs.
  • the guide portion 139 is relatively narrower, and it is substantially configured as a slit made starting at one end of the reflector 22.
  • the moving portion 142 is relatively wider so as to allow the grasping tabs to be moved.
  • the installation of the mounting device 24 in the lighting apparatus 10, according to the embodiment shown in figures from 11 to 14, can be carried out in a way described hereafter.
  • the fixing spring clip 100 is able to be removably coupled with the mounting device 24, such a clip can be coupled with the base plate 48 arranging it bridging the base plate 48 so that the bridging fitting portion 115 faces it and is arranged at a certain distance from such a plate. Thereafter, the fixing spring clip can be pushed towards the base plate 48 so as to elastically deform the clamping arms 103, 105, in particular, so as to open such arms, up until the latching portions engage by snapping-in with the corresponding matching portions of the base plate and the bridging fitting portion 115 comes into contact with such a plate.
  • the clamping arms have respective end portions which protrude from such a plate.
  • the connection between such a device and the reflector 22 can be carried out in a substantially analogous way to that described above. Specifically, in this case, during the translation movement of the reflector towards the mounting plate 38, the grasping tabs 108, 112 slide through the guiding portions 139 of the movement openings 135, 137 until they pass through the movement portions 142 of such openings. More specifically, when the mounting device and the reflector are stably coupled together, the grasping tabs pass through the movement portions 142 and the bridging fitting portion 115 is intermediate between the reflector and the base plate 48.
  • the coupling operations between the aforementioned mounting device and reflector can be repeated in an analogous way for a further mounting device 24 so that the reflector is intermediate between two mounting devices fixed at the opposite ends of the reflector itself.
  • the reflector group including the reflector 22 and the mounting devices 24 can be coupled with the supporting structure 58 in a similar manner to that previously described. More specifically, in this case, preferably when the centring projection 64 ( figure 14 ) is inserted between the rails 60, the reflector group can be pushed towards such rails so as to allow such a group to be coupled with the supporting structure 58 through the fixing spring clip.
  • the rails 60 cooperating with the end portions of the clamping arms 103, 105, elastically deform such arms, in particular opening them, until the reflector group comes into contact with the rails 60 and the clamping arms snap-into the rails themselves.
  • the reflector group can subsequently be secured to the supporting structure 58, for example, by inserting a screwdriver in the actuation recess 129 of the locking pins 118 so as to actuate such pins in rotation bringing them into the locking position.
