Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mounting device comprising a cylindrical mounting ring and a mounting plate with a circular recess for fixing a recessed light in an opening of a building surface, such as a false ceiling or partition.
  • a fastening device for recessed luminaires in an intermediate ceiling is known from the prior art, in which a flexible perforated plate, which is provided centrally with a circular recess, is suitably inserted into the mounting hole of the false ceiling and positioned so that it is flat at the back the false ceiling rests and the entire cross section of its recess is accessible in the mounting hole. Subsequently, a cylindrical ring, the outer periphery of a stepped shoulder as a transition between two sections with different Outer diameter, inserted into the mounting hole of the false ceiling and through the circular recess of the perforated plate.
  • the cylindrical ring is in the interior of the opening, ie behind the false ceiling, rotated accordingly and pulled from the top or rear with the side with a smaller outer diameter in the recess of the perforated plate that he circulates with its stepped shoulder to the section with a larger outer diameter of the perforated plate rests or locks and is fixed in such a way.
  • the cylindrical ring is provided on its inside with a circumferential recess into which the recessed light is screwed or snapped. Thereafter, the perforated plate is screwed together from below through the false ceiling together with this and thus fixed in position.
  • a disadvantage of this design is that for a flush with the false ceiling installation of the lamp in each case an individual ring with different installation height, which must be adapted to the material thickness of the ceiling plate used, is required.
  • the present invention therefore has as its object to avoid the known from the prior art disadvantages for the attachment of recessed lighting of the type mentioned, and to provide a mounting device that allows recessed lighting regardless of the material thickness of the ceiling panels flush with each to install the underside of the false ceiling.
  • the mounting plate is designed so that it can be pushed or pushed through the opening in the plate-shaped building surface, such as a false ceiling, and thus arranged behind an intermediate wall or above a suspended false ceiling.
  • the mounting ring is then screwed into the recess of the mounting plate by means of thread.
  • the mounting ring can be very flexibly adjusted by turning in its axial position relative to the mounting plate or against the building surface. A flush conclusion between mounting ring and building surface is thus easily adjusted by deep corresponding screwing the mounting ring.

  • the mounting ring can be quickly brought by twisting in a flush with the building surface location.
  • the mounting ring may have easier to handle on its inside at its rear mounting position in the free end tabs or webs on which the mounting ring for manual twisting and adjusting can be attacked.
  • an inventive mounting ring is equipped on its inner side with at least one radially circumferential recess, which serves to fasten the recessed light.
  • the recessed light has on its cylindrical outer side fastening devices, such as resiliently mounted balls that snap or snap in the installed state in the groove of the mounting ring and thus fix the recessed light in the mounting ring. Due to the circumferential groove, there is no preferred direction of attachment of the recessed light, i.
  • the luminaire body can be rotated as desired in the mounting ring and be adjusted for optimal illumination of the object.
  • a recessed light can be installed by snapping into a deeper inside recess also set back in the false ceiling, although the mounting ring is preferably flush with the false ceiling.
  • the mounting ring forms part of a reflector for the lamp and emerging from the false ceiling light of the recessed light can be bundled more concentrated by the mounting ring.
  • the mounting plate has at least one perforated section for receiving fastening screws.
  • a screwing of the mounting plate on the back of the plate-shaped building surface, such as a false ceiling much easier.
  • a fixing screw which is screwed from the front of the false ceiling through this into the mounting plate, is securely held in the corresponding perforated portion of the mounting plate and thus a stable connection between the mounting plate and false ceiling is achieved.
  • the mounting plate according to the invention may also have a plurality of perforated sections in different embodiments.
  • a mounting plate according to the invention can further be constructed in sections of different materials. For example, a perforated section may be made of a more robust material than the remainder of the mounting plate construction.
  • the mounting plate on the circumference of the circular recess at least a portion of an internal thread, which is suitable for the external thread of the mounting ring.
  • This female threaded portion accommodates the complementary external thread of the mounting ring and may include one or more threads depending on the design.
  • the internal thread can also be formed by a very short section of a thread, for example a web or a notch.
  • Another advantageous feature of a mounting device is that both the mounting ring on the outside, as well as the mounting plate on the circumference of the circular recess to each other arranged, mechanically acting locking devices, such as toothed notches, which in the screwed position the mounting ring against rotation relative to the Secure mounting plate.
  • a mounting device according to the invention can be used everywhere versatile, where a preferably flush installation with building surfaces is desired.
