Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly for attaching a preferably elongated article to an elongate, flexible suspension element according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to an arrangement for attaching a lamp or an elongate support member for a lamp to a cable or cable.
  • Luminaires can be divided into different categories with regard to the way in which they are installed.
  • so-called pendant luminaires are often used, which are arranged at a certain distance from the ceiling or a ceiling element.
  • the suspension of such lights is carried out by means of elongated flexible suspension elements, for example by means of ropes or cables.
  • a fastening device provided for this purpose is for example from the DE 103 41 550 A1 the applicant known.
  • the cable suspension described above is used both in individual lights as well as in elongated lighting systems in which elongated mounting rails are fastened to the ceiling over several cables, these mounting rails in turn represent support elements on which lighting units can be attached. If fastening devices are used, as for example from the above DE 103 41 550 A1 are known, so also the distance to the ceiling can be adjusted in a flexible manner.
  • the US 2007/0147050 A1 refers to a device for vertically positioning a lamp which is suspended from a cable.
  • the lamp has a turntable with an upper surface which has two holes and a threaded lower part. Both holes are offset from the center of the upper surface, with one hole sized to allow the cable to pass through.
  • a screw can be inserted.
  • the turntable is rotated. As a result, the cable is moved, so that thus the lamp enters a vertical position, in which the turntable can be fixed in this position to an extension piece by means of the screw.
  • the WO 2008/095491 A1 relates to a device system comprising a fixture for a lighting fixture, which is connected to the fixture with the aid of connecting means, the fixture having an adapter comprising at least one rotatable means, the fixture having a slope from the vertical, which by means of Rotation of the at least one rotatable means can be adjusted.
  • the DE 20 2005 015 148 U1 relates to an adjusting device for positioning vertically suspended objects, consisting of a hanging object, a hanging element for hanging the above-mentioned object, an adjusting device for accurately positioning vertical objects, which is arranged between the above-mentioned hanging object and the hanging element, one with the a lower rotary member, an upper rotary member, a shutter member connecting the upper and lower rotary members in a rotatable form, at least one lid connected to the upper rotary member, and on the end side of which an arcuate slot is eccentrically arranged; a sliding lid disposed on a surface of the lid, and in which a through hole is disposed and an axis member and a shutter member.
  • the axle member connects to the hanger member and passes through the arcuate slot of the lid and through the through hole of the sliding lid to join the closure member.
  • the hanging element is brought within the arcuate slot in motion to change the center of gravity position of the suspension so that the hanging object is hanging vertically.
  • the lights or lighting systems which are attached by means of cables to the ceiling, symmetrical.
  • the center of gravity of the elements to be suspended also lies in the central axis and, accordingly, a simple cable suspension is sufficient.
  • fastening devices which engage centrally on the lamp or the support member.
  • the present invention is based on the object to avoid such problems. In this case, if possible, the previously used wire suspension should be maintained and only in case of need with the least possible effort, a correction of the situation to be made.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the idea of maintaining the previous wire suspension. If necessary, the corresponding arrangement for fixing the lamp or the light band can be supplemented by an adjusting element, which causes a deflection of the suspension element, so the rope or cable and accordingly allows for correction.
  • an arrangement for fixing an object such as a lamp or a support member for a luminaire is proposed accordingly, wherein the attachment to an elongated, flexible suspension element, in particular on a cable or cable takes place and wherein the arrangement is arranged on the object to be fastened fastener at which an end portion of the suspension member is fixed.
  • the arrangement further comprises an adjusting element, which on the one hand on the fastening element - directly or indirectly - supported and on the other hand forms a guide for deflection of the suspension element, wherein the adjusting element is C-shaped, wherein a leg is supported on the fastener and a further leg forms the guide for the suspension element.
  • the adjusting element according to the invention thus represents a supplementary element, which can be added to the known cable suspension in case of need to make appropriate corrections.
  • the solution according to the invention is accordingly feasible in a simple and fast manner.
  • the adjusting element relative to the fastening element adjustable is rotatable.
  • the degree of deflection of the suspension element can be changed in order to compensate for different degrees of skew.
  • the adjusting element is then fixed in a correspondingly suitable position on the fastening element. This can be done for example by a clamping or fixing screw.
  • the adjustment element according to the invention in fasteners used as standard.
  • fasteners used as standard.
  • These can, for example, according to the DE 103 41 550 A1 be configured, in which case the suspension element extends through the sleeve-like fastening element.
  • a spring-mounted locking element such as a ball or the like provided over which the cable or cable is clamped such that it is securely and effectively fixed to the fastener.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention, with the aid of an elongate support member 105 is to be attached to a ceiling.
  • This support element 105 is, for example, an elongate support rail of a lighting system 100 to which luminaire modules or other units, in particular emitters, can also be attached.
  • a plurality of the arrangements shown for suspension distributed to the support rail 105 are arranged.
  • an elongate luminaire could also be fastened to a ceiling with the aid of the arrangement according to the invention.
  • usually corresponding cable suspensions are provided at the two ends of the lamp.
  • the first essential element of the arrangement generally designated by the reference numeral 1 is a flexible elongated suspension element formed by a cable 2 or cable.
  • the cable 2 is fixed with its upper end to a ceiling mounting element 3, which in a manner not shown on the Ceiling is attached.
  • the design of this ceiling fastening element 3 may be different and is not relevant to the present invention.
  • the cable 2 is fixed to a fastening element 5.
  • This fastener 5 is in the Figures 1 and 2 recognizable, in which the adjusting element discussed in more detail below is shown semi-transparent.
  • the term "fixing” is to be understood below that the rope 2 is anchored or fixed to the fastener 5 so that it does not accidentally solve can not slide up.
  • the fastening element 5 may be configured, for example, as in the aforementioned DE 103 41 550 A1 is described.
  • a special clamping device within the fastener 5 extending through the fastener 5 rope 2 is fixed or clamped so that it can not slip out.
  • this clamping device can be solved to allow a relative displacement between the cable 2 and fastener 5, whereby a height adjustment can be made.
  • the present invention is by no means limited to such suspension systems.
  • the fastening element 5 could also represent only an anchorage for the rope 2, which for this purpose has, for example, at its lower end a widening, which prevents slipping upwards. A height adjustment is then not possible in this case.
  • the fastening element 5 is arranged on the upper side of a retaining clip 7, which engages with two lateral arms 8 in elongate recesses of the mounting rail 105.
  • Other types of arrangement of the fastener 5 to the light or the lighting system 100 would be conceivable.
  • fasteners 5 are arranged centrally on the support rail 105 and the lamp. Further, since the rope 2 is guided through the fastener 5 so that it protrudes from a central opening, the center of gravity of the suspension is in the region of the central longitudinal axis I (see FIG. 3 of the system). In the case of a symmetrical design of the luminaire or the light band system 100, this has the consequence that a symmetrical distribution of force exists and, accordingly, the luminaire or the system is currently suspended.
  • an adjusting element is used according to the invention, the function of which will be explained in more detail below.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 is provided with the reference numeral 10 adjusting element formed as a sleeve.
  • This sleeve 10 is placed from the top of the fastener 5, so it this - as in FIG. 1 represented - encompasses.
  • the inner diameter of the sleeve-like adjusting element 10 is dimensioned such that there is a sufficient clearance to the fastening element 5. So it is no press or sliding seat required.
  • this adjustment sleeve 10 is that an inclination of the object to be suspended is compensated by a deflection of the rope 2.
  • the sleeve bottom 11 which faces away from the support rail 105, a hole 12 through which the cable 2 is guided.
  • This hole 12 is off-center, preferably arranged as close to the edge region of the sleeve 10 and causes the rope 2 is deflected laterally.
  • This deflection of the cable 2 has the consequence that now the point of application of the suspension is off-center or asymmetrical, whereby the asymmetric weight distribution of the lamp to be suspended or the lighting system 100 can be compensated. Ultimately, this leads to an inclination of the light or the lighting system 100 is prevented.
  • the compensation of the asymmetrical weight distribution of the object to be suspended is thus achieved by a displacement of the point of application of the cable 2 away from the central or symmetrical axis I. It is possible, the adjustment 10 - as indicated by the double arrow in FIG. 4 shown - to rotate relative to the fastener 5 to compensate for different degrees of skew. The twisting has the consequence that the deviation of the position of the hole 12 from the central axis I can be changed.
  • the rotation can be done both to the right side and to the left side to To compensate for inclinations in both directions.
  • the frictional forces between the adjustment sleeve 10 and the fastening element 5, which are caused by the deflection and the weight of the system, in this case cause the adjustment sleeve 10 is then fixed in the appropriate position.
  • the sleeve 10 could be locked in the appropriate position by additional measures, for example by the use of a clamping or fixing screw. This can ensure that the system remains permanently in the balanced position.
  • the adjusting sleeve 10 is supported only indirectly on the fastening element 5, that is, for example, on the support rail 105 or the bracket 7 attacks.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 A second embodiment of the adjusting element according to the invention is in the FIGS. 5 to 8 shown. Comparable elements are provided here with the same reference numerals.
  • This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment primarily in the leadership of the rope 2.
  • the adjusting element 10 has a lateral slot 13 in the sleeve edge.
  • This slot 13 extends preferably over the entire height of the sleeve 10 to the sleeve bottom 11.
  • the end of the slot 13 in this case in turn causes the deflection of the rope 2 shown in the figures.
  • the degree of deflection of the rope 2 are changed in order to be able to flexibly balance asymmetrical weight distributions of the object to be suspended.
  • An advantage of this second variant is that, due to the slit 13 extending over the entire height, it is possible to fit the adjusting sleeve 10 in the suspended state already when the luminaire is completely assembled. Unlike the variant of FIGS. 1 to 4 Thus, no need to thread and thread, so in a very simple and fast way to unexpectedly resulting inclinations of the system can be responded.
  • FIG. 9 in this case shows a light band system 100, which is arranged by means of the inventive arrangement 1 on a - not shown ceiling - suspended.
  • the light band system 100 essentially consists of an elongated support rail 105, on which the clamp 7 engages. Within the support rails 105 extend in the longitudinal directions conductor wires for electrical Power supply of luminaire inserts and for transmission of control commands. Shown is also a lamp insert 120, which is attached from the bottom to the mounting rail and locked to this. In the present case, this luminaire insert 120 is formed symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the system 100.
  • an asymmetric weight distribution may be present due to an eccentric laying of the cable or the like, which can now be compensated in a simple manner by the adjusting element 10 according to the invention.
  • the deflection of the rope 2 can be ensured that the point of application of the rope 2 is above the center of gravity of the lighting system 100, with the result that this - as shown - can be hung without skew.
  • FIGS. 10 to 12 A third inventive embodiment of an adjusting element is in the FIGS. 10 to 12 shown.
  • the adjusting element 20 is formed as a C-shaped sheet metal part.
  • From this lower leg 21 extends obliquely upward a second leg 22, at its upper end a short third leg 23 is formed.
  • This third leg 23 has a lateral notch 24 through which the cable 2 is guided.
  • the dimensions and arrangements of the legs 22 and 23 are such that the recess 24 is in turn offset from the center of the fastener 5 is arranged.
  • the offset with respect to the axis of symmetry or the longitudinal axis of the system can then be changed by turning the adjusting element 20.
  • the adjusting element 20 could be fixed in the appropriate position by additional measures.
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 still a fourth embodiment.
  • This is similar to the embodiment in the FIGS. 5 to 8 and is accordingly again designed as an attachable sleeve, which has a lateral slot 13.
  • the upper end portion of the sleeve is formed in the form of an oblique cone.
  • the adjusting element 10 there are no changes to the previously described embodiments. Again, therefore, by twisting the amount of deflection of the rope 2 can be varied. If necessary, the adjusting element could be locked in the appropriate position by means of a clamping or fixing screw.
  • the sleeve-shaped adjusting elements can be made of different materials and manufactured in different ways. It would be conceivable, for example, the use of plastic, including the use of a transparent plastic material would be conceivable steel or aluminum. In the case of the use of plastic, the adjusting elements can be sprayed, for example, aluminum parts can be rotated, for example, or produced as extruded part.
  • the solution of the invention opens up the possibility to compensate for inclinations in suspended lights or lighting systems in a simple manner.
  • a particular advantage of the solution according to the invention consists in the fact that hitherto known suspension devices can be used and only in addition an adjusting element is used, with which the required correction is carried out.
