Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtungsanordnung mit mindestens drei Eckprofilen, die zwischen zwei Endwänden befestigt sind und zwischen sich mindestens zwei Seitenwände tragen.The invention relates to a lighting arrangement with at least three corner profiles, which are fastened between two end walls and carry at least two side walls between them.

Das Dokument JP2000276915A zeigt eine Beleuchtungsanordnung mit einem länglichen, rechteckigen Gehäuse mit drei Seitenwänden und zwei Endwänden. Vier Profile sind zwischen den Endwänden befestigt und zwischen den Profilen sind Platten durch Winkelstücke gehalten, welche mittels Schrauben gegen die Profile gedrückt werden. An Stelle einer vierten Seitenwand ist ein Kasten mit einem Vorschaltgerät und Halterungen für ein Leuchtmittel angeordnet. Der Kasten trägt zur Versteifung der Beleuchtungsanordnung bei, jedoch kann dadurch an der vierten Seitenwand kein Licht austreten. Ohne den Kasten wäre die Beleuchtungsanordnung ab einer bestimmten Länge mechanisch instabil, insbesondere nicht genügend steif.The document JP2000276915A shows a lighting arrangement with an elongated, rectangular housing with three side walls and two end walls. Four profiles are fixed between the end walls and between the profiles plates are held by elbows which are pressed against the profiles by means of screws. Instead of a fourth side wall, a box with a ballast and brackets for a light source is arranged. The box contributes to the stiffening of the lighting arrangement, but can thereby leak on the fourth side wall no light. Without the box, the lighting arrangement would be mechanically unstable from a certain length, in particular not sufficiently rigid.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Beleuchtungsanordnung vorzuschlagen, die modular aufbaubar ist und auch bei grösseren Längen eine ausreichende Steifigkeit aufweist.The invention is based on the object to propose a lighting arrangement that can be modularly constructed and has sufficient rigidity even with larger lengths.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäss dadurch, dass jedes Eckprofil eine in das Innere der Beleuchtungsanordnung weisende Rippe aufweist und dass zwischen den Endwänden mindestens eine Stütze angeordnet ist, die mit den Rippen formschlüssig verbunden ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that each corner profile has a rib pointing into the interior of the lighting arrangement and that at least one support is arranged between the end walls, which is positively connected to the ribs.

Diese Lösung hat den Vorteil, dass durch die formschlüssige Verbindung die Eckprofile auch bei grosser Länge zusammen gehalten werden, wodurch sich eine formstabile Anordnung ergibt. Ausserdem ist diese Beleuchtungsanordnung sehr einfach in nahezu beliebigen Längen herzustellen und zusammenzubauen, wobei die Anzahl der Stützen entsprechend der Länge gewählt werden kann.This solution has the advantage that the corner profiles are held together even at great length by the positive connection, resulting in a dimensionally stable arrangement. In addition, this lighting arrangement is very easy to manufacture and assemble in almost any length, the number of columns can be selected according to the length.

Eine Ausführungsart der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Beleuchtungsanordnung ein Tragteil für die Aufnahme von Geräten aufweist. Die Geräte können beispielsweise Anschlussklemmen oder Vorschaltgeräte für Leuchtstofflampen sein.An embodiment of the invention provides that the lighting arrangement has a support member for receiving devices. The devices can be, for example, terminals or ballasts for fluorescent lamps.

Nach einer besonderen Ausführungsart ist das Tragteil mit einem Abstand zwischen zwei Eckprofilen angeordnet, welcher Abstand den Durchtritt von Licht gestattet. Dadurch wird es möglich, eine Beleuchtungsanordnung zu schaffen, bei der auf allen Längsseiten Licht austreten kann.According to a particular embodiment, the support member is arranged with a distance between two corner profiles, which distance allows the passage of light. This makes it possible to provide a lighting arrangement in which light can escape on all longitudinal sides.

Gemäss einer anderen Ausführungsart weist die Stütze Rastmittel auf, in welche Federmittel eingreifen, wobei die Federmittel mit dem Tragteil verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise ist es besonders einfach und ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeugen möglich, das Tragteil von den übrigen Komponenten der Beleuchtungsanordnung zu trennen, beispielsweise um ein Leuchtmittel auszuwechseln.According to another embodiment, the support has latching means in which spring means engage, wherein the spring means are connected to the support member. In this way, it is particularly easy and without the aid of tools possible to separate the support member of the other components of the lighting arrangement, for example, to replace a light source.

Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsart ist das Tragteil mit einem Gehäuse verbunden und bildet vorzugsweise einen Teil dieses Gehäuses. Dies ergibt eine besonders einfach aufgebaute, aus wenigen Einzelteilen bestehende Beleuchtungsanordnung.According to a further embodiment, the support member is connected to a housing and preferably forms a part of this housing. This results in a particularly simple structure, consisting of a few parts lighting arrangement.

Eine andere Ausführungsart sieht vor, dass zwischen den Eckprofilen und den Seitenwänden Nut-Feder-Verbindungen vorhanden sind. Dies ermöglicht einen einfachen Zusammenbau der Anordnung, im Gegensatz zum eingangs erwähnten Stand der Technik, bei dem für die Befestigung der Seitenwände Winkel und Schrauben erforderlich sind.Another embodiment provides that between the corner profiles and the side walls tongue and groove connections are available. This allows a simple assembly of the arrangement, in contrast to the aforementioned prior art, in which for the attachment of the side walls angle and screws are required.

Gemäss einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsart ist die Stütze flach und nicht dicker als die Seitenwände. Dies ermöglicht einerseits eine besonders einfache Herstellung der Stütze, beispielsweise durch Stanzen aus Blech. Andererseits wirft eine derartige Stütze kaum Schatten auf die bevorzugt transparenten Seitenwände.According to another preferred embodiment, the support is flat and not thicker than the side walls. On the one hand, this enables a particularly simple production of the support, for example by stamping from sheet metal. On the other hand, such a support barely casts shadows on the preferably transparent side walls.

Nach einer zusätzlichen Ausführungsart weist die Stütze eine zentrale, zu einer Seite hin offene Ausnehmung auf. Diese Ausnehmung dient insbesondere zur Aufnahme eines Leuchtmittels, beispielsweise einer Leuchtstoffröhre und ermöglicht, dieses Leuchtmittel unabhängig von den Stützen ein-oder auszubauen.According to an additional embodiment, the support has a central, open to one side recess. This recess serves in particular for receiving a luminous means, for example a fluorescent tube, and makes it possible to install or remove this luminaire independently of the supports.

Gemäss einer weiteren Ausführungsart verläuft die Rippe etwa in der Winkelhalbierenden der beiden benachbarten Seitenwände. Dadurch wird bei einem zentral in der Beleuchtungsanordnung angeordneten Leuchtmittel ein Schattenwurf durch die Rippen auf die Seitenwände verhindert.According to another embodiment, the rib extends approximately in the bisector of the two adjacent side walls. As a result, a shadow is prevented by the ribs on the side walls in a centrally arranged in the lighting arrangement bulbs.

Eine andere Ausführungsart sieht vor, dass die Rippen an ihrem freien Ende eine Erweiterung aufweisen und die Stütze Ausnehmungen aufweist, welche die Erweiterungen formschlüssig umgreifen. Somit lassen sich die Stützen entlang den Profilen verschieben und an beliebigen Stellen platzieren.Another embodiment provides that the ribs have an extension at their free end and the support has recesses which engage around the extensions in a form-fitting manner. Thus, the supports can be moved along the profiles and placed anywhere.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsart weist die Erweiterung eine längs verlaufende Öffnung auf. Diese Öffnung kann beispielsweise isolierte elektrische Leiter aufnehmen.According to a preferred embodiment, the extension has a longitudinal opening. This opening can accommodate, for example, insulated electrical conductors.

Gemäss einer weiteren Ausführungsart sind die Endwände mit Schrauben mit den Eckprofilen verbunden, wobei die Schrauben in die in den Erweiterungen vorhandenen Öffnungen greifen. Dadurch wird die Montage der Beleuchtungsanordnung sehr einfach und es entfällt Aufwand für das Herstellen gesonderter Befestigungsbohrungen.According to a further embodiment, the end walls are connected with screws with the corner profiles, wherein the screws engage in the openings present in the extensions. As a result, the assembly of the lighting arrangement is very simple and it eliminates the hassle of making separate mounting holes.

Schliesslich sieht eine andere Ausführungsart vor, dass die Erweiterung einen längs verlaufenden Schlitz aufweist, der bis in die Öffnung reicht. Diese Massnahme vereinfacht erheblich die Herstellung der Eckprofile.Finally, another embodiment provides that the extension has a longitudinal slot extending into the opening. This measure considerably simplifies the production of the corner profiles.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die angefügten Zeichnungen beispielsweise erläutert. Es zeigt:

Figur 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Teils der Beleuchtungsanordnung und
Figur 2
eine Querschnittsansicht der Beleuchtungsanordnung.
An embodiment of the invention will be explained below with reference to the attached drawings, for example. It shows:
FIG. 1
a perspective view of a portion of the lighting arrangement and
FIG. 2
a cross-sectional view of the lighting arrangement.

Einleitend wird festgehalten, dass die in der nachfolgenden Beispielsbeschreibung gewählten Lageangaben, wie z.B. oben, unten, seitlich usw. auf die unmittelbar beschriebene sowie dargestellte Figur bezogen und bei einer Lageänderung sinngemäss auf die neue Lage zu übertragen sind.In the introduction, it is stated that the position data selected in the following example description, such as eg top, bottom, side, etc., refer to the directly described and illustrated figure and, in the case of a change in position, are to be transferred analogously to the new position.

Figur 1 zeigt eine gegen den Betrachter hin aufgeschnittene perspektivische Ansicht eines Ausführungsbeispiels der erfindungsgemässen Beleuchtungsanordnung, wobei Komponenten wie Leuchtmittel und Halter dafür in dieser Figur nicht dargestellt sind. Die Anordnung ist im Beispiel im Querschnitt viereckig, wobei in jeder Ecke ein Eckprofil 1, 2 angeordnet ist. Es können aber nach dem erfindungsgemässen Prinzip auch Beleuchtungsanordnungen mit anderen Querschnitten gebaut werden, beispielsweise mit einem dreieckigen oder fünfeckigen Querschnitt. An beiden Längsenden sind die Eckprofile 1, 2 mit Endwänden verbunden, von denen in der Figur nur die Endwand 3 sichtbar ist. Die Endwände 3 sind mit Schrauben mit den Eckprofilen 1, 2 verbunden. Eine dieser Schrauben ist in Figur 1 mit der Bezugszahl 4 angedeutet. Jedes Eckprofil 1, 2 hat eine im Beispiel in einem Winkel von etwa 45 Grad in das Innere der Anordnung ragende, über die ganze Länge des Eckprofils 1, 2 reichende Rippe 8, 9, an deren freiem Ende eine Erweiterung 10, 11 angeformt ist. Jede Erweiterung 10, 11 hat eine über die ganze Profillänge verlaufende Längsöffnung 12, 13, welche einen über die ganze Länge offenen Schlitz 14, 15 aufweist. Bevorzugt greifen die Schrauben 4 zur Befestigung der Endwände 3 in diese Längsöffnungen. Wenn selbstschneidende Schrauben 4 verwendet werden, kann der Aufwand zum Gewindeschneiden in den Längsöffnungen 12, 13 eingespart werden. Wie unten rechts in Figur 1 zu sehen ist, können die Längsöffnungen 12, 13 auch zur Unterbringung von Kabeln 23 benutzt werden. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view cut away from the viewer of an embodiment of the illumination arrangement according to the invention, wherein components such as lamps and holders are not shown in this figure. The arrangement is quadrangular in cross section in the example, wherein in each corner a corner profile 1, 2 is arranged. But it can also be built according to the inventive principle, lighting arrangements with other cross sections, for example, with a triangular or pentagonal cross-section. At both longitudinal ends of the corner profiles 1, 2 are connected to end walls, of which only the end wall 3 is visible in the figure. The end walls 3 are connected by screws with the corner profiles 1, 2. One of these screws is in FIG. 1 indicated by the reference numeral 4. Each corner profile 1, 2 has an example in an angle of about 45 degrees in the interior of the arrangement projecting, over the entire length of the corner profile 1, 2 reaching rib 8, 9, at the free end an extension 10, 11 is formed. Each extension 10, 11 has a running over the entire profile length longitudinal opening 12, 13, which has a slot 14, 15 open over the entire length. Preferably, the screws 4 for fastening the end walls 3 engage in these longitudinal openings. If self-tapping screws 4 are used, the effort for thread cutting in the longitudinal openings 12, 13 can be saved. As below right in FIG. 1 can be seen, the longitudinal openings 12, 13 are also used to accommodate cables 23.

Das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel weist zwei unterschiedliche Eckprofile 1, 2 auf. Oben in den Figuren sind zwei Eckprofile 1 angeordnet, die mit jeweils einem einzigen Aufnahmeschlitz 31 (Figur 2) für eine Seitenwand 5, 7 ausgestattet sind. Die in den Figuren unten angeordneten Eckprofile 2 weisen jeweils zwei Aufnahmeschlitze 32 (Figur 2) auf, wobei einer für die Aufnahme der genannten Seitenwände 5, 7 und ein anderer für eine Bodenwand 6 vorgesehen ist. Die Beleuchtungsanordnung kann aber auch mit vier gleichen Eckprofilen 2 hergestellt werden, wobei dann im in den Figuren oberen Bereich jeweils ein Aufnahmeschlitz 32 leer bleibt.The illustrated embodiment has two different corner profiles 1, 2. At the top of the figures, two corner profiles 1 are arranged, which are each provided with a single receiving slot 31 (FIG. FIG. 2 ) are equipped for a side wall 5, 7. The arranged in the figures below Eckprofile 2 each have two receiving slots 32 ( FIG. 2 ), one being provided for receiving said sidewalls 5, 7 and another for a bottom wall 6. However, the illumination arrangement can also be produced with four identical corner profiles 2, in which case a receiving slot 32 remains empty in the upper area in the figures.

Die Seitenwände 5, 7 und die Bodenwand 6 können aus beliebigen Materialien bestehen, beispielsweise aus durchsichtigen oder durchscheinenden Material in beliebigen Farben. Je nach Verwendungszweck und beabsichtigter Wirkung der Leuchte können aber teilweise auch Materialien verwendet werden, die für Licht nicht durchlässig sind.The side walls 5, 7 and the bottom wall 6 may be made of any materials, such as transparent or translucent material in any colors. Depending on the intended use and the intended effect of the luminaire, however, materials which are not permeable to light can also be used to some extent.

Zwischen den Endwänden 3 sind Stützen 16 angeordnet, von denen in den Figuren nur eine zu sehen ist. Jede Stütze 16 ist aus relativ dünnem Material, beispielsweise Metallblech gefertigt und weist eine nach oben offene Ausnehmung 17 auf, die Raum für ein längliches Leuchtmittel, beispielsweise eine Leuchtstoffröhre bietet. Die Stütze 16 weist im dargestellten Beispiel zwei obere Eckbereiche 18 und zwei untere Eckbereiche 19 auf. In jedem Eckbereich 18, 19 ist in der Stütze 16 eine hinterschnittene Ausnehmung 20, 21 vorhanden, die über eine der Erweiterungen 10, 11 der Eckprofile 1, 2 greift. Damit stabilisiert jede Stütze 16 die Anordnung mechanisch und wirft auf Grund ihrer geringen Dicke kaum Schatten auf die umliegenden Wände.Between the end walls 3 supports 16 are arranged, of which only one can be seen in the figures. Each support 16 is made of relatively thin material, such as sheet metal and has an upwardly open recess 17, which provides space for an elongate light source, such as a fluorescent tube. In the example shown, the support 16 has two upper corner regions 18 and two lower corner regions 19. In each corner region 18, 19, an undercut recess 20, 21 is present in the support 16, which engages over one of the extensions 10, 11 of the corner profiles 1, 2. Thus, each support 16 stabilizes the assembly mechanically and casts little shadow on the surrounding walls due to its small thickness.

Die Stützen 16 werden vor der Montage der zweiten Endwand 3 auf die Eckprofile 1, 2 aufgeschoben und über deren Länge verteilt angeordnet. Damit die Stützen 16 jeweils an der gewünschten Stelle verbleiben, können diese an den Eckprofilen 1, 2 fixiert werden. Dies kann auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise bewerkstelligt werden, beispielsweise kann das Material der Profile 1, 2 leicht verformt, beispielsweise verstemmt werden. Es können aber auch Klammern vorgesehen sein, die vor und hinter den Stützen 16 auf die Erweiterungen 10, 11 der Profile 1, 2 geklemmt werden. Eine besonders einfache Methode zum Fixieren der Stützen besteht darin, dass die Stützen 16 mit den Profilen 1, 2 verklebt werden, beispielsweise mittels eines Heissklebers. In der Ausnehmung 17 der Stütze 16 sind nach innen weisende Nocken 22 angeordnet, deren Funktion anschliessend an Hand der Figur 2 erläutert wird.The supports 16 are pushed onto the corner profiles 1, 2 before assembly of the second end wall 3 and arranged distributed over the length thereof. So that the supports 16 each remain at the desired location, they can be fixed to the corner profiles 1, 2. This can be done in a very different way, for example The material of the profiles 1, 2 can be easily deformed, for example caulked. But it can also be provided brackets which are clamped in front of and behind the supports 16 on the extensions 10, 11 of the profiles 1, 2. A particularly simple method for fixing the supports is that the supports 16 are glued to the profiles 1, 2, for example by means of a hot melt adhesive. In the recess 17 of the support 16 inwardly facing cam 22 are arranged, whose function then on hand of FIG. 2 is explained.
