Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anbauleuchte mit deckenseitigen und leuchtenseitigen Befestigungselementen, die miteinander verbindbar sind, wobei die deckenseitigen Befestigungselemente durch ein Winkelelement mit einem Basisschenkel und sich quer erstreckenden Halteschenkeln gebildet sind.The invention relates to a surface-mounted luminaire with cover-side and luminaire-side fastening elements, which are connectable to one another, wherein the cover-side fastening elements are formed by an angle element with a base leg and transversely extending retaining legs.

Eine derartige Anbauleuchte ist beispielsweise in der EP 1267119 B1 der Anmelderin beschrieben. Diese Leuchte zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Leuchte zwischen einer ersten Montageposition und einer zweiten endgültigen Anbauposition verschwenkt bzw. verfahren werden kann. Dies bietet die Möglichkeit, dass die Leuchte in der ersten Montageposition an die Decke gehängt werden kann und dann der elektrische Anschluss der Leuchte durchgeführt werden kann, ohne dass die Leuchte während dieser Phase der Montage vom Elektriker gehalten werden muss.Such a surface-mounted luminaire is for example in the EP 1267119 B1 the applicant described. This lamp is characterized in that the lamp can be pivoted or moved between a first mounting position and a second final mounting position. This offers the possibility that the lamp can be hung in the first mounting position to the ceiling and then the electrical connection of the lamp can be performed without the lamp must be held during this phase of assembly by the electrician.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Montage der deckenseitigen Befestigungselemente insbesondere bei Verwendung von Akkuschraubern schwierig ist, weil das deckenseitige Befestigungselement beim abschließenden Festziehen der Schraube nicht immer in der gewünschten Position verbleibt, sondern sich mit der Schraube mitdrehen kann.It has been found that the mounting of the ceiling-side fasteners is difficult, especially when using cordless screwdrivers, because the cover-side fastener does not always remain in the desired position during final tightening of the screw, but can rotate with the screw.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es die Anbauleuchte der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, dass das deckenseitige Befestigungselement bei der Montage nicht mehr unbeabsichtigt verdreht wird.The object of the invention is to improve the surface-mounted luminaire of the type mentioned so that the ceiling-side fastener is not accidentally rotated during assembly.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Hierbei ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass einem Basisschenkel des deckenseitigen Befestigungselements, an der der Leuchte abgewandten Seite aus der Ebene des Basisschenkels austretende Elemente angeformt sind, die geeignet sind, sich im montierten Zustand des deckenseitigen Befestigungselements mittels eines Montagelements, wie beispielsweise Schrauben, in eine Decke zu verkrallen. Hierzu sind die aus der Ebene des Basisschenkels austretenden Elemente durch frei gestanzte Zungen gebildet. Diese liegen in Übergangsbereichen von Basisschenkel und Halteschenkeln. Nachdem beim Festschrauben des deckenseitigen Befestigungselements dieses zwischen Schraubenkopf und ggf. einer Beilagscheibe und Decke eingeklemmt wird, wird das deckenseitige Befestigungselement gegen die Decke gedrückt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich die aus der Ebene des Basisschenkels austretende Elemente in die Decke verkrallen können und einer Verdrehung während des Festziehens der Schraube
entgegen wirken.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Here, the invention provides that a base leg of the ceiling-side fastener, on the side facing away from the lamp from the plane of the base leg emerging elements are formed, which are suitable in the assembled state of the ceiling side Fastening element by means of a mounting element, such as screws, to dig into a ceiling. For this purpose, the emerging from the plane of the base leg elements are formed by freely punched tongues. These lie in transition areas of the base legs and holding legs. After clamping the cover-side fastening element is clamped this between the screw head and possibly a washer and ceiling, the ceiling-side fastener is pressed against the ceiling. This has the consequence that the emerging from the plane of the base leg elements can dig into the ceiling and a twist during the tightening of the screw
counteract.

Die Anbauleuchte weist in der Regel ein Leuchtengehäuse auf, welches Leuchtmittel, Betriebsgeräte und lichtlenkende Elemente aufnimmt. Außerdem können an oder im Gehäuse die leuchtenseitigen Befestigungselemente angeordnet sein. Alternativ dazu kann das Gehäuse selbst oder das Gehäuse bildende Teile, insbesondere Stirn- oder Profilteile, so ausgebildet werden, dass die leuchtenseitigen Befestigungselemente integriert sind. In der Regel sind für eine Anbauleuchte zwei leuchtenseitige und damit auch zwei deckenseitige Befestigungselemente vorzusehen. Hierbei ist das erste leuchtenseitige Befestigungselement in einem sich in Längsrichtung der Leuchte erstreckenden Abstand zum zweiten leuchtenseitiges Befestigungselement angeordnet.The surface-mounted luminaire usually has a luminaire housing which accommodates lamps, operating devices and light-directing elements. In addition, the light-side fastening elements can be arranged on or in the housing. Alternatively, the housing itself or the housing forming parts, in particular end or profile parts, are formed so that the light-side fastening elements are integrated. As a rule, two luminaire-side and thus also two cover-side fastening elements are to be provided for a surface-mounted luminaire. Here is the first light side Attachment arranged in a longitudinal direction of the lamp extending distance to the second light-side fastener.

Vorzugsweise wird ein deckenseitiges Befestigungselement and die Decke geschraubt. Zur Aufnahme von Montagelementen, insbesondere Schrauben, ist eine bevorzugt als Langloch ausgebildete Ausnehmung im Befestigungselement vorgesehen.Preferably, a ceiling-side fastener is screwed to the ceiling. For receiving mounting elements, in particular screws, a preferably formed as a slot recess is provided in the fastener.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das deckenseitige Befestigungselement als ein U-förmiges Winkelelement mit mindestens zwei Halteschenkeln gestaltet. Um eine erste Montageposition der Anbauleuchte zu realisieren, sind die die freien Enden der Halteschenkel hakenförmig ausgebildet. Alternativ dazu können im Bereich der freien Enden Freistanzungen vorgesehen sind, die hakenförmig ausgebildet sein.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ceiling-side fastening element is designed as a U-shaped angle element with at least two retaining legs. In order to realize a first mounting position of the surface-mounted luminaire, the free ends of the retaining legs are hook-shaped. Alternatively, free punches may be provided in the region of the free ends, which may be hook-shaped.

Bevorzugt sind die deckenseitigen Befestigungselemente aus Federstahl hergestellt.Preferably, the ceiling-side fasteners are made of spring steel.

In der Figur 1 ist ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Anbauleuchte 1 gezeigt. Die Leuchte 1 besteht aus einem Gehäuse 2, einem Leuchtenraster 3, welcher für die Lichtlenkung und Lichtverteilung sorgt und Stirnteilen 4, 4'. Das Gehäuse 2 ist aus einem profilierten Blech gefertigt und nimmt Fassungen 8 für nicht dargestellte Leuchtstofflampen sowie an einem Halteblech 9 montierte Klemmen 7 und Betriebsgeräte 6 auf. In diesem Zusammenhang sei darauf verwiesen, dass die Leuchte 1 selbstverständlich auch mit anderen marktgängigen Leuchtmitteln anstelle von Leuchtstofflampen bestückt werden kann.In the FIG. 1 a first embodiment of a surface-mounted luminaire 1 is shown. The lamp 1 consists of a housing 2, a light grid 3, which provides for the light guidance and light distribution and end parts 4, 4 '. The housing 2 is made of a profiled sheet and accommodates sockets 8 for fluorescent lamps, not shown, as well as on a holding plate 9 mounted terminals 7 and 6 operating devices. In this context, it should be noted that the lamp 1 can of course be equipped with other common bulbs instead of fluorescent lamps.

An der Rückseite des Gehäuses 2 greifen deckeseitig zu montierende Befestigungselemente 5, 5' in zugeordnete Ausnehmungen, welche die leuchtenseitigen Befestigungselemente bilden, im profilierten Gehäuse 2 ein. Wie in Figur 2 - wenn auch nur für die Prägung 12' - ersichtlich ist, wird das deckenseitige Befestigungselement 5 so tief in die zugeordneten Ausnehmungen im Gehäuse 2 eingeführt, bis die Prägungen 12, 12' innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 zu liegen kommen und damit die freien Ränder der Prägungen 12, 12' eine Auflage für das Gehäuse 2 bilden. Damit ist das Gehäuse 2 in seiner endgültigen Betriebsposition fixiert. Um die Anbauleuchte 1 in einem kleinen aber definierten Abstand zur Decke montieren zu können, weisen die deckenseitigen Befestigungselemente 5, 5' Anschläge 16, 16' auf, die verhindern, dass die Halteschenkel 11, 11' zu tief in das Gehäuse 2 geschoben werden können.At the back of the housing 2 access the deck side mounting fasteners 5, 5 'in associated recesses, which form the light-side fastening elements, in the profiled housing 2 a. As in FIG. 2 - If only for the stamp 12 '- can be seen, the ceiling-side fastener 5 is inserted so deeply into the associated recesses in the housing 2 until the embossments 12, 12' come to rest within the housing 2 and thus the free edges of the embossing 12, 12 'form a support for the housing 2. Thus, the housing 2 is fixed in its final operating position. In order to mount the surface-mounted luminaire 1 in a small but defined distance from the ceiling, the cover-side fastening elements 5, 5 'stops 16, 16', which prevent the retaining legs 11, 11 'can be pushed too deeply into the housing 2 ,

In Figur 5 ist ein deckenseitiges Befestigungselement 5 entsprechend der in den Figuren la, lb und 2 gezeigten Art dargestellt. Im Wesentlichen handelt es sich um einen aus Federstahl gestanzten und gebogenen U-förmigen Federbügel, der einen Basisschenkel 10 aufweist an den beidseitig Halteschenkel 11, 11' angeformt sind. Im zentralen Bereich des Basisschenkels 10 ist eine als Langloch ausgebildete Ausnehmung 15 platziert. Durch diese Ausnehmungen greifen im Falle der Montage (nicht dargestellte) Montaqemittel, beispielsweise Schrauben, hindurch, um das deckenseitige Befestigungselement 5 an einer Decke oder dergleichen zu fixieren. Dabei wird das Befestigungselement 5 so montiert, dass die freien Enden der Kantenabschnitte 14, 14' direkt auf der Decke aufliegen. Beim Festziehen eines Montagemittels, also beispielsweise einer Schraube, werden diese Kantenabschnitte immer stärker gegen die Decke gepresst und verhindern, dass sich das Befestigungselement 5 beim Festziehen verdreht. Im Bereich der freien Enden der Halteschenkel 11, 11' befinden sich hakenförmige Freistanzungen 13, 13'. Diese sind dazu geeignet, die Anbauleuchte 1 in einer vorläufigen Montageposition zu halten. Hierbei ist das leuchtenseitige Befestigungselement lediglich an einem der beiden Halteschenkel 11, 11' eingehängt. Weil der Eingriff des Befestigungselemente 5, 5' außerhalb der Ebene erfolgt in der sich der Schwerpunkt der Anbauleuchte 1 befindet, neigt sich die Leuchte 1 so, dass die Rückseite und somit die Klemmen 7 zugänglich sind. In dieser Montageposition kann der elektrische Anschluss der Leuchte 1 auf einfache Weise erfolgen. Nachdem die elektrischen Verbindungen hergestellt sind, wird die Leuchte 1 zur Decke hin verschwenkt, bis der zweite - als der bisher freie Halteschenkel in Eingriff mit dem leuchtenseitigen Befestigungsmittel gebracht werden kann. Danach muss die Anbauleuchte 1 lediglich zur Decke hin gedrückt bzw. verschoben werden, um in die endgültige Anbauposition zu gelangen.In FIG. 5 a cover-side fastener 5 is shown in accordance with the manner shown in Figures la, lb and 2. It is essentially a U-shaped spring clip punched out of spring steel and having a base leg 10 integrally formed on the retaining legs 11, 11 'on both sides. In the central region of the base leg 10, a recess 15 formed as a slot is placed. By means of these recesses, mounting means (not shown), for example screws, engage in the case of assembly in order to fix the cover-side fastening element 5 to a ceiling or the like. In this case, the fastening element 5 is mounted so that the free ends of the edge portions 14, 14 'rest directly on the ceiling. When tightening a mounting means, so for example a screw, these edge portions are increasingly against the ceiling pressed and prevent the fastener 5 rotates when tightening. In the area of the free ends of the retaining legs 11, 11 'are hook-shaped free-punching 13, 13'. These are suitable for holding the surface-mounted luminaire 1 in a provisional installation position. Here, the light-side fastening element is mounted on only one of the two retaining legs 11, 11 '. Because the engagement of the fastening elements 5, 5 'takes place outside the plane in which the center of gravity of the surface-mounted luminaire 1 is located, the luminaire 1 tilts so that the rear side and thus the terminals 7 are accessible. In this mounting position, the electrical connection of the lamp 1 can be done in a simple manner. After the electrical connections are made, the lamp 1 is pivoted to the ceiling until the second - can be brought as the previously free holding leg in engagement with the light-side fastener. Thereafter, the surface-mounted luminaire 1 only needs to be pressed or moved towards the ceiling in order to reach the final mounting position.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 sind weitere Ausführungsformen deckenseitiger Befestigungselemente gezeigt. Das erfindungsgemäße Befestigungselement 105 gemäß Figur 3 weist ebenfalls einen Basisschenkel 110 und Halteschenkel 111, 111' auf.
Die freien Enden der Halteschenkel 111, 111' sind als Haken 113, 113' ausgeführt, in die zugeordnete leuchtenseitige Befestigungselemente einer Anbauleuchte gemäß Figur 1 eingehängt werden können, um diese in der Montageposition zu halten. Die Prägung 112, 112', die Ausnehmung 115 sowie die Anschläge 116, 116' erfüllen dieselben Funktionen wie beim zuvor erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 5. Zur Versteifung des 25 Basisschenkels 110 sind längsgerichtete Längsprägungen 118, 118' eingearbeitet. Die aus der Ebene des Basisschenkels 110 austretenden Elemente, die geeignet sind, sich im montierten Zustand des deckenseitigen Befestigungselements 105 in eine Decke zu verkrallen, sind 30 durch Zungen 117, 117' gebildet. Diese sind im Übergangsbereich zwischen Basisschenkel 110 und Halteschenkeln 111, 111' im Bereich einer gedachten
zentralen Symmetrieachse angeordnet und durch entsprechende Freistanzungen realisiert.In the FIGS. 3 and 4 Further embodiments of ceiling-side fasteners are shown. The fastening element 105 according to the invention FIG. 3 also has a base leg 110 and retaining legs 111, 111 '.
The free ends of the retaining legs 111, 111 'are designed as hooks 113, 113', in accordance with the associated light-side fastening elements of a surface-mounted luminaire FIG. 1 can be hung in order to keep them in the mounting position. The embossment 112, 112 ', the recess 115 and the stops 116, 116' meet the same functions as in the previously described embodiment according to FIG. 5 , For stiffening the base leg 110, longitudinal longitudinal embossments 118, 118 'are incorporated. The emerging from the plane of the base leg 110 elements that are suitable to dig in the mounted state of the ceiling-side fastener 105 in a ceiling, 30 are formed by tongues 117, 117 '. These are in the area of an imaginary one in the transition region between base legs 110 and retaining legs 111, 111 '
arranged central symmetry axis and realized by appropriate free distances.

Figur 4 zeigt ein weiteres deckenseitiges Befestigungselement 205. Ausgehend von einem Basisschenkel 210 erstrecken sich wiederum Halteschenkel 211, 211', die gemeinsam ein U-förmiges Federelement bilden. Die Enden der Halteschenkel 211, 211' sind hakenförmig umgebogen. Die Prägung 212, 212', die Ausnehmung 215 sowie die Anschläge 216, 216' erfüllen ebenso wie die hakenförmig umgebogenen Enden 213, 213' der Halteschenkel 211, 211' dieselben Funktionen wie bei den zuvor erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen gemäß Figuren 3 und 5. FIG. 4 shows another cover-side fastening element 205. Starting from a base leg 210 in turn extend holding leg 211, 211 ', which together form a U-shaped spring element. The ends of the retaining legs 211, 211 'are hook-shaped bent. The embossing 212, 212 ', the recess 215 and the stops 216, 216' as well as the hook-shaped bent-over ends 213, 213 'of the holding legs 211, 211' fulfill the same functions as in the embodiments explained above Figures 3 and 5 ,

Der Basisschenkel 210 ist breiter als die Halteschenkel 211, 211'. Der Überstehende Randbereich ist zu den Halteschenkeln 211, 211' hin gebogen. In Längsrichtung überstehende Abschnitte der Randbereiche bilden die beidseitig neben den Halteschenkeln 211, 211' liegende Anschläge 216, 216'. Durch das Umbiegen der überstehenden Randbereiche ist der Basisschenkel ausreichend stabil, d.h. versteift.
