Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte für ein Lichtband. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft außerdem einen Geräteträger für eine derartige Leuchte.The present invention relates to a luminaire for a light band. The present invention also relates to a device carrier for such a luminaire.

Als Lichtband wird üblicherweise eine geradlinige Aneinanderreihung mehrerer Leuchten bezeichnet, wobei innerhalb des Lichtbands mehrere Leuchten eine gemeinsame Stromversorgung aufweisen und gemeinsam angesteuert werden.As a light band usually a linear juxtaposition of several lights is referred to, within the light band several lights have a common power supply and are controlled together.

Eine Leuchte für ein derartiges Lichtband weist üblicherweise ein Tragprofil zur Decken- und Wandmontage sowie einen Geräteträger auf, der am Tragprofil, vorzugsweise lösbar, befestigt werden kann und der zumindest eine Fassung für ein Leuchtmittel trägt. Dabei kann die funktionale Trennung zwischen Tragprofil und Geräteträger zweckmäßig so realisiert sein, dass das Tragprofil auch ohne daran angebrachten Geräteträger an der Wand oder Decke montiert werden kann. Insbesondere lässt sich der Geräteträger auch vom Tragprofil entfernen, derart, dass das Tragprofil an der Wand bzw. Decke verbleibt. Eine derartige Fassung kann beispielsweise einen Fuß aufweisen, der in eine Öffnung des Geräteträgers eingesteckt und an einem die Öffnung einfassenden Öffnungsrand festgelegt, z. B. damit verrastet, werden kann. Der Geräteträger kann beispielsweise als Blechformteil konzipiert sein, wobei zur Erzielung niedriger Herstellungskosten und eines geringen Bauteilsgewicht vergleichsweise geringe Blechstärken verwendet werden. Eine in den so hergestellten Geräteträger eingebrachte, insbesondere eingestanzte, Öffnung zur Aufnahme des Fassungsfußes besitzt einen Öffnungsrand, der eine vergleichsweise geringe Steifigkeit besitzt. Bei einer Querbelastung der Fassung kann daher der Fall auftreten, dass die Verrastung zwischen Fuß und Öffnungsrand gelockert und im Extremfall auch gelöst wird, so dass sich der Fuß aus der Öffnung herausbewegen und sich die Fassung relativ zum Geräteträger bewegen kann. Eine derartige Querbelastung der Fassung kann beispielsweise dann auftreten, wenn als Leuchtmittel eine Leuchtstoffröhre verwendet wird, die an ihren Längsenden in zwei derartigen Fassungen gehalten ist. Die Leuchtstoffröhre oder ein bei bestimmten Anwendungen und Einbausituationen vorgeschriebenes, die Leuchtstoffröhre umhüllendes und ebenfalls in den Fassungen gehaltenes Schutzrohr kann sich thermisch bedingt ausdehnen und dadurch Querkräfte in die Fassungen einleiten. Diese Querkräfte können ausreichen, die Verrastung aufzuheben, wobei im Extremfall sich der jeweilige Fuß in der zugehörigen Öffnung soweit verbiegen kann, dass sich die jeweilige Fassung vom Geräteträger entfernen kann. Dabei besteht die Gefahr, dass sich auch das jeweilige Leuchtmittel in der Fassung vom jeweiligen elektrischen Kontakt löst und in der Folge unbestromt ist.A luminaire for such a light band usually has a support profile for ceiling and wall mounting and a device carrier, which can be fastened to the support profile, preferably releasably, and which carries at least one socket for a light source. In this case, the functional separation between the support profile and equipment carrier can be advantageously implemented so that the support profile can be mounted without attached equipment carrier on the wall or ceiling. In particular, the device carrier can also be removed from the support profile, such that the support profile remains on the wall or ceiling. Such a version, for example, have a foot which is inserted into an opening of the device carrier and fixed to an opening edge enclosing the opening, z. B. locked so can be. The device carrier can be designed, for example, as a sheet metal part, with comparatively small plate thicknesses being used to achieve low production costs and a low component weight. An introduced into the device carrier thus prepared, in particular punched, opening for receiving the socket foot has an opening edge, which has a comparatively low rigidity. In a transverse load of the socket can therefore be the case that the catch between the foot and opening edge loosened and in extreme cases also solved, so that the foot out of the opening move and the socket can move relative to the equipment rack. Such a transverse load of the Socket can occur, for example, when a fluorescent tube is used as the light source, which is held at its longitudinal ends in two such versions. The fluorescent tube or a prescribed in certain applications and installation situations, the fluorescent tube enveloping and also held in the sockets thermowell can extend thermally induced and thereby introduce lateral forces in the sockets. These transverse forces may be sufficient to cancel the latching, wherein in extreme cases, the respective foot in the associated opening can bend so far that the respective version can move away from the equipment rack. There is a risk that the respective bulb in the version of the respective electrical contact dissolves and is energized in the sequence.

Aus der DE 195 20 177 A1 ist eine Einbauleuchte bekannt, deren Geräteträger mittels entsprechender Befestigungselemente unmittelbar in eine deckenseitige oder wandseitiege Einbaunische eingebaut werden kann. Der Geräteträger weist mittig zur Aussteifung eine Profileinziehung auf, die einen zentralen Tragbereich definiert, in dem Öffnungen zur Anbringung von Fassungen ausgebildet sind.From the DE 195 20 177 A1 is known a recessed luminaire whose device carrier can be installed by means of appropriate fasteners directly into a cover-side or wandseitiege installation niche. The device carrier has centrally to the stiffening on a profile education, which defines a central support area, are formed in the openings for attaching sockets.

Hier setzt die vorliegende Erfindung an. Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für eine Leuchte der eingangs genannten Art eine verbesserte Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere durch eine erhöhte Zuverlässigkeit der Fixierung zwischen Fassung und Geräteträger auszeichnet.This is where the present invention begins. The invention is concerned with the problem of providing an improved embodiment for a luminaire of the type mentioned, which is characterized in particular by an increased reliability of the fixation between the socket and device carrier.

Dieses Problem wird bei der vorliegenden Erfindung insbesondere durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved in the present invention, in particular by the subject of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, den die Öffnung begrenzenden Öffnungsrand an einem Tragbereich des Geräteträgers auszubilden, der die Öffnung einfasst und der gegenüber einem in der Längsrichtung der Leuchte daran angrenzenden Bereich des Geräteträgers versetzt angeordnet ist. Beispielsweise liegen Öffnung, Öffnungsrand und Tragbereich in einer Öffnungsebene oder Tragbereichsebene, die parallel zu einer Ebene (Geräteträgerebene) beabstandet verläuft, in welcher der an den Tragbereich angrenzenden Bereich des Geräteträgers liegt. Mit anderen Worten, der Tragbereich ist gegenüber dem daran angrenzenden Bereich des Geräteträgers senkrecht zur Öffnungsebene versetzt angeordnet. Durch diesen Versatz entsteht in einem Schnitt durch den Geräteträger im Bereich der Öffnung ein Stufenprofil, was zu einer intensiven Aussteifung des Geräteträgers im Tragbereich führt. Da der Tragbereich den Öffnungsrand aufweist, wird dadurch auch der Öffnungsrand stabilisiert, wodurch die Verbindung, insbesondere eine Verrastung, zwischen Fuß und Öffnungsrand eine höhere Auszugsfestigkeit erhält. Es ist klar, dass der Tragbereich kein separates Bauteil, sondern ein integraler Bestandteil des Geräteträgers ist.The invention is based on the general idea to form the opening edge limiting opening edge on a support portion of the device carrier, the surrounds the opening and which is arranged offset relative to a region of the device carrier adjacent thereto in the longitudinal direction of the luminaire. For example, the opening, opening edge and support area lie in an opening plane or support area plane which runs parallel to a plane (device support plane) in which the area of the equipment support adjacent to the support area lies. In other words, the support area is offset from the adjoining area of the equipment carrier offset perpendicular to the opening plane. This offset creates a step profile in a section through the equipment carrier in the area of the opening, which leads to an intensive stiffening of the equipment carrier in the carrying area. Since the support region has the opening edge, thereby also the opening edge is stabilized, whereby the connection, in particular a catch, receives a higher pull-out strength between foot and opening edge. It is clear that the support area is not a separate component, but an integral part of the device carrier.

Besonder zweckmäßig ist hierbei eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher das Tragprofil so ausgestaltet ist, dass es ohne daran angebrachten Geräteträger an der jeweiligen Decke oder Wand montiert werden kann. Die Montage vereinfacht sich, da so zuerst das im Vergleich zum Geräteträger leichte Tragprofil einfach an der Wand oder Decke montiert werden kann, während der im Vergleich zum Tragprofil schwere Geräteträger mit daran angebrachten Geräten, z.B. Leuchtmitteln, dann ebenfalls einfach an das Tragprofil angebaut werden kann. Dies ist insbesondere bei der Montage der Leuchte an einer Decke besonders vorteilhaft, da dies vom jeweiligen Monteur als Überkopfmontage auszuführen ist, bei der jede Gewichtsreduzierung von großem Vorteil ist.Particularly useful here is an embodiment in which the support profile is designed so that it can be mounted without attached equipment carrier to the respective ceiling or wall. The assembly is simplified, since so the first compared to the equipment carrier light support profile can be easily mounted on the wall or ceiling, while in comparison to the support profile heavy equipment carrier with attached devices, e.g. Bulbs, then also can be easily attached to the support profile. This is particularly advantageous when mounting the luminaire to a ceiling, since this is to be performed by the respective fitter as an overhead assembly, in which any weight reduction is of great advantage.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher der jeweilige Tragbereich durch Umformung am Geräteträger ausgebildet ist. Hierbei ist der Tragbereich integral am Geräteträger ausgeformt, also kein bezüglich des Geräteträgers separates Bauteil. Eine derartige Umformung erzeugt im Bereich der vorstehend genannten Stufe, die den Übergang zwischen Tragbereich und daran angrenzenden Bereich bildet, eine Materialverfestigung bzw. Versteifung, die zur Aussteifung des Tragbereichs führt.Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the respective support region is formed by deformation on the equipment carrier. Here, the support area is integrally formed on the equipment carrier, so no relative to the equipment carrier separate component. Such deformation generates in the region of the above-mentioned stage, which forms the transition between the support region and the region adjacent thereto, a material hardening or stiffening, which leads to the stiffening of the support region.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher der jeweilige Tragbereich durch eine Verprägung am Geräteträger ausgebildet ist. Eine Verprägung entspricht dabei einem Tiefziehen zum Herstellen einer Stufe zu Versteifungszwecken. Auch hierbei ist der Tragbereich integral am Geräteträger ausgeformt und ist folglich kein bezüglich des Geräteträgers separates Bauteil. Eine derartige Verprägung kann besonders einfach durch einen Prägevorgang mit einem entsprechenden Prägestempel realisiert werden. Beispielsweise kann für die Verprägung ein entsprechend modifizierter Schneidstempel verwendet werden, mit dessen Hilfe die jeweilige Öffnung am Geräteträger ausgestanzt wird. So können in einem einzigen Verarbeitungsschritt sowohl der Öffnungsrand als auch die Verprägung hergestellt werden.In this case, an embodiment in which the respective support region is formed by embossing on the equipment carrier is particularly advantageous. An embossing corresponds to a deep drawing for producing a step for stiffening purposes. Again, the support portion is integrally formed on the equipment carrier and is therefore not a separate component with respect to the device carrier. Such embossing can be realized particularly easily by an embossing process with a corresponding embossing punch. For example, a correspondingly modified cutting punch can be used for the stamping, with the aid of which the respective opening on the equipment carrier is punched out. Thus, both the opening edge and the embossment can be produced in a single processing step.

Zweckmäßig kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Tragbereich in einer Tragbereichsebene liegt, die sich parallel und beabstandet zu einer Geräteträgerebene erstreckt, in welcher der an den Tragbereich angrenzende Bereich des Geräteträgers liegt. Hierdurch ergeben sich besonders einfach herstellbare geometrische Strukturen, was eine preiswerte Herstellung des Geräteträgers und somit der Leuchte begünstigt.It may be expedient to provide for the support area to lie in a support area plane which extends parallel to and at a distance from a device support plane in which the area of the equipment support adjoining the support area lies. This results in particularly easy to produce geometric structures, which favors an inexpensive production of the equipment carrier and thus the lamp.

Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass der an den Tragbereich angrenzende Bereich des Geräteträgers den Tragbereich ringförmig geschlossen umfasst bzw. einfasst. Insbesondere lässt sich eine solche Konfiguration mittels einer Verprägung einfach herstellen, die im Geräteträger den Tragbereich in Form einer Erhebung oder Vertiefung erzeugt, die im Längsschnitt und/oder Querschnitt über zwei, vorzugsweise symmetrische, Stufen in den an den Tragbereich angrenzenden Bereich übergeht. Die jeweilige Erhebung bzw. Vertiefung ist zweckmäßig eben ausgestaltet.In another advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the region of the equipment carrier adjacent to the support region surrounds or encloses the support region in an annular manner. In particular, such a configuration can be easily produced by means of an embossing which generates the supporting area in the device carrier in the form of a raised area or depression, which in the device carrier Longitudinal section and / or cross section over two, preferably symmetrical, steps merges into the area adjacent to the support area. The respective survey or depression is expedient just designed.

Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann zumindest ein Randabschnitt des Öffnungsrands vom Tragbereich abgewinkelt sein. Durch die Abwinklung des Randabschnitts des Öffnungsrands vom Tragbereich ergibt sich zum einen eine signifikante Aussteifung des Tragbereichs, die sich vor allem auf eine erhöhte Steifigkeit des Öffnungsrands in besagtem Randabschnitt auswirkt. Zum anderen erhält der Öffnungsrand im Bereich des jeweiligen Randabschnitts dadurch auch eine vergrößerte Materialstärke, die senkrecht zur Öffnungsebene gemessen ist. Auch dies führt zu einer Aussteifung des Tragbereichs im jeweiligen Randabschnitt. Gleichzeitig vereinfacht sich dadurch eine formschlüssige Verrastung zwischen Fuß und Öffnungsrand.In another advantageous embodiment, at least one edge portion of the opening edge may be angled away from the support area. By the angling of the edge portion of the opening edge from the support area results in a significant stiffening of the support area, which mainly affects an increased rigidity of the opening edge in said edge portion. On the other hand, the opening edge in the region of the respective edge section thereby also receives an increased material thickness, which is measured perpendicular to the opening plane. This also leads to a stiffening of the support area in the respective edge portion. At the same time this simplifies a positive locking between foot and opening edge.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann der jeweilige Randabschnitt um etwa 90° gegenüber einer Tragbereichsebene, in welcher der Tragbereich liegt, abgewinkelt sein. Durch die Abwinklung um etwa 90° ergibt sich eine maximale Wandstärke für den Öffnungsrand im jeweiligen Randabschnitt, was eine hochwertige Verrastung vereinfacht. Gleichzeitig wird dadurch die Biegesteifigkeit des Öffnungsrand im jeweiligen Randabschnitt optimiert.In an advantageous development of the respective edge portion by about 90 ° with respect to a support area level, in which the support area is located, be angled. By bending by about 90 ° results in a maximum wall thickness for the opening edge in the respective edge portion, which simplifies a high-quality locking. At the same time, the bending stiffness of the opening edge in the respective edge section is thereby optimized.

Zweckmäßig kann der jeweilige abgewinkelte Randabschnitt geradlinig sein.Suitably, the respective angled edge portion may be rectilinear.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind zumindest zwei einander gegenüberliegende abgewinkelte Randabschnitte vorgesehen, was zur Erzielung einer symmetrischen Verrastung von Vorteil ist. Zweckmäßig sind zumindest diejenigen Randabschnitte abgewinkelt, die sich senkrecht zu einer Längsrichtung des Geräteträgers erstrecken.According to a preferred embodiment, at least two opposing angled edge portions are provided, which is advantageous for achieving a symmetrical locking. Suitably, at least those edge portions are angled, which extend perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the device carrier.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform kann der jeweilige Randabschnitt entgegen einer Richtung, in welcher der Tragbereich gegenüber dem angrenzenden Bereich versetzt ist, vom Tragbereich abgewinkelt sein. Auf diese Weise baut der abgewinkelte Randabschnitt nicht zusätzlich auf den Tragbereich auf, wodurch die Ausgestaltung des Geräteträgers im Bereich der Öffnung kompakt und flach bleibt. Bezüglich des Tragprofils kann der Tragbereich nach außen versetzt sein, während der jeweilige Randabschnitt nach innen abgewinkelt ist. Somit kann an der vom Tragprofil abgewandten Außenseite des Geräteträgers eine scharfe Kontur vermieden werden.In another embodiment, the respective edge section may be angled away from the support area, counter to a direction in which the support area is offset from the adjacent area. In this way, the angled edge portion does not additionally build on the support area, whereby the design of the device carrier in the region of the opening remains compact and flat. With respect to the support profile of the support portion may be offset outwards, while the respective edge portion is angled inward. Thus, a sharp contour can be avoided on the side facing away from the support profile outside of the equipment carrier.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Fuß wenigstens ein Rastelement auf, das zum Verrasten des Fußes mit dem Öffnungsrand den jeweiligen abgewinkelten Randabschnitt hintergreift. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein Formschluss zwischen abgewinkeltem Randabschnitt und Rastelement, wodurch besonders hohe Auszugskräfte realisierbar sind.According to a preferred embodiment, the foot has at least one latching element, which engages behind the respective angled edge section for latching the foot with the opening edge. This results in a positive connection between the angled edge portion and locking element, whereby particularly high extraction forces can be realized.

Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann der Geräteträger ein Blechformteil sein, das aus einem Blechkörper mit einer Wandstärke hergestellt ist. Derartige Blechformteile lassen sich besonders einfach und preiswert herstellen.In another advantageous embodiment of the device carrier may be a sheet metal part, which is made of a sheet metal body with a wall thickness. Such sheet metal parts can be produced in a particularly simple and inexpensive.

Zweckmäßig kann nun der jeweilige abgewinkelte Randabschnitt um eine Höhe vom Tragbereich abstehen, die etwa gleich groß ist wie die Wandstärke des Blechkörpers, aus dem der Geräteträger hergestellt ist. Mit anderen Worten, der abgewinkelte Randbereich steht mit der Wandstärke des Geräteträgers vom Tragbereich ab. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann der Tragbereich um einen Versatz gegenüber dem angrenzenden Bereich versetzt sein, der etwa gleich groß ist wie die Wandstärke des Blechkörpers, aus dem der Geräteträger hergestellt ist. Mit anderen Worten, der Tragbereich ist gegenüber dem angrenzenden Bereich um die Wandstärke des Geräteträgers versetzt. Die Formulierung "etwa gleich groß" soll grundsätzlich Abweichungen von ± 50 % oder ± 20 % gegenüber dem Wert der Wandstärke zulassen.Expediently, the respective angled edge section can now protrude from the support region by a height which is approximately the same as the wall thickness of the sheet metal body from which the device carrier is made. In other words, the angled edge region is with the wall thickness of the device carrier from the support area. Additionally or alternatively, the support region may be offset by an offset relative to the adjacent region, which is approximately the same size as the wall thickness of the sheet metal body from which the device carrier produced is. In other words, the support area is offset from the adjacent area by the wall thickness of the device carrier. The wording "about the same size" should allow deviations of ± 50% or ± 20% compared to the value of the wall thickness.

Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann das Leuchtmittel eine Leuchtstoffröhre sein, so dass am Geräteträger zwei einander gegenüberliegende Fassungen zum Halten der Leuchtstoffröhre vorgesehen sind. Zweckmäßig kann nun ein die Leuchtstoffröhre umhüllendes Schutzrohr vorgesehen sein, das ebenfalls an den beiden Fassungen gehalten ist.In another advantageous embodiment, the lighting means may be a fluorescent tube, so that the device carrier two opposing sockets are provided for holding the fluorescent tube. Appropriately, a protective tube surrounding the fluorescent tube can now be provided, which is likewise held on the two sockets.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Geräteträger charakterisiert somit durch eine Öffnung für einen Fuß einer Fassung, deren Öffnungsrand an einem Tragbereich des Geräteträgers ausgebildet ist, der gegenüber einem daran angrenzenden Bereich des Geräteträgers versetzt angeordnet ist.An inventive device carrier thus characterized by an opening for a foot of a socket whose opening edge is formed on a support portion of the device carrier, which is arranged offset relative to an adjacent thereto region of the device carrier.

Üblicherweise nimmt das Tragprofil eine Verkabelung zur Stromversorgung des jeweiligen Leuchtmittels auf. Die Verkabelung kann dabei durch den Fuß zur Fassung und über die Fassung dann zum jeweiligen Leuchtmittel geführt sein.Usually, the support profile receives a wiring to the power supply of the respective bulb. The wiring can be performed by the foot to the socket and then on the socket to the respective bulb.

Zweckmäßig kann der Fuß einen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweisen und insbesondere vier Rastelemente besitzen, die beispielsweise kreuzförmig angeordnet sein können. Komplementär zum Fuß kann die Öffnung einen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweisen.Suitably, the foot may have a rectangular cross-section and in particular have four locking elements, which may be arranged, for example, cross-shaped. Complementary to the foot, the opening may have a rectangular cross-section.

Der an den Tragbereich angrenzende Bereich kann den Tragbereich vollständig umschließen, wodurch die Aussteifung des Tragbereichs allseitig realisierbar ist. Eine Tragbereichebene, in welcher sich der ebene Tragbereich erstreckt, ist gegenüber einer Geräteträgerebene, in welcher sich der zumindest in der Längsrichtung des Geräteträgers an den Tragbereich angrenzende ebene Bereich des Geräteträgers erstreckt, senkrecht versetzt, derart, dass die Tragbereichebene parallel und beabstandet zur Geräteträgerebene verläuft.The region adjacent to the support region can completely surround the support region, as a result of which the stiffening of the support region can be realized on all sides. A support region plane, in which the planar support region extends, is offset vertically relative to a device support plane in which the planar region of the device support adjoins the support region, at least in the longitudinal direction of the device support, such that the support region plane extends parallel to and spaced from the device support plane ,

Der Geräteträger ist zweckmäßig lösbar am Tragprofil befestigt. Vorzugsweise ist der Geräteträger mit dem Tragprofil verclipst, was die Montage vereinfacht.The equipment carrier is suitably releasably attached to the support profile. Preferably, the equipment carrier is clipped to the support profile, which simplifies installation.

Entsprechend den Figuren 1 und 2 umfasst eine Leuchte 1, die alleine oder zum Aufbauen eines Lichtbands verwendet werden kann, ein Tragprofil 2, das sich zur Deckenmontage sowie zur Wandmontage eignet, und einen Geräteträger 3, der am Tragprofil 2 befestigt ist, insbesondere mittels einer Clipsverbindung 4, die sich entlang der beiden Längsseiten des Geräteträgers 3 erstreckt. Der Geräteträger 3 trägt außerdem wenigstens eine Fassung 5 für ein Leuchtmittel 6, das in Figur 1 mit unterbrochener Linie angedeutet ist. Beim Leuchtmittel 6 handelt es sich beispielsweise um eine Leuchtstoffröhre. Dementsprechend sind zwei Fassungen 5 vorgesehen, die den beiden Längsenden der Leuchtstoffröhre 6 zugeordnet sind. Grundsätzlich kann eine derartige Fassung 5 auch zur Aufnahme eines anderen Leuchtmittels 6 konzipiert sein. Eine Längsrichtung der Leuchte 1 ist in Fig. 4 durch einen Doppelpfeil angedeutet und mit 4 bezeichnet.According to the Figures 1 and 2 comprises a luminaire 1, which can be used alone or for building a light band, a support profile 2, which is suitable for ceiling mounting and for wall mounting, and a device carrier 3, which is fixed to the support section 2, in particular by means of a clip connection 4, along the two longitudinal sides of the device carrier 3 extends. The device carrier 3 also carries at least one socket 5 for a lamp 6, the in FIG. 1 indicated by a broken line. The illuminant 6 is, for example, a fluorescent tube. Accordingly, two versions 5 are provided, which are assigned to the two longitudinal ends of the fluorescent tube 6. In principle, such a version 5 can also be designed to accommodate another illuminant 6. A longitudinal direction of the lamp 1 is in Fig. 4 indicated by a double arrow and denoted by 4.

Gemäß den Figuren 1 bis 3 weist die jeweilige Fassung 5 einen Fuß 7 auf, der in eine in Figur 4 besonders deutlich erkennbare Öffnung 8 des Geräteträgers 3 eingesteckt ist. Die Öffnung 8 besitzt einen Öffnungsrand 9, der die Öffnung 8 einfasst. Im montierten Zustand ist der Fuß 7 mit diesem Öffnungsrand 9 verrastet. Hierzu kann der Fuß 7 mehrere Rastelemente 10 aufweisen, die den Öffnungsrand 9 an einer dem Tragprofil 3 zugewandten Innenseite des Geräteträgers 3 übergreifen, wodurch der Fuß 7 an einer dem Leuchtmittel 6 zugewandten Außenseite des Geräteträgers 3 positioniert ist.According to the FIGS. 1 to 3 has the respective version 5 a foot 7, which in an in FIG. 4 particularly clearly visible opening 8 of the device carrier 3 is inserted. The opening 8 has an opening edge 9 which encloses the opening 8. In the assembled state, the foot 7 is locked with this opening edge 9. For this purpose, the foot 7 may have a plurality of locking elements 10 which engage over the opening edge 9 on a support profile 3 facing the inside of the device carrier 3, whereby the foot 7 is positioned on a side facing the lamp 6 outside of the equipment carrier 3.

Entsprechend den Figuren 3 und 4 weist der Geräteträger 3 einen die Öffnung 8 einfassenden Tragbereich 11 auf, der den Öffnungsrand 9 aufweist und der gegenüber einem daran in der Längsrichtung 15 der Leuchte 1 angrenzenden Bereich 12 des Geräteträgers 3 versetzt angeordnet ist. Dieser Versatz kann beispielsweise durch eine Umformung am Geräteträger 3, insbesondere durch eine Verprägung des Geräteträgers 3 im Bereich der Öffnung 8 hergestellt werden. Der Tragbereich 11 ist eben ausgestaltet und liegt dementsprechend in einer Tragbereichsebene. Der Geräteträger 3 ist in dem an den Tragbereich 11 angrenzenden Bereich 12 ebenfalls eben ausgestaltet, so dass dieser Bereich in einer Geräteträgerebene liegt. Die Tragbereichsebene erstreckt sich parallel zur Geräteträgerebene und ist dazu beabstandet. Demensprechend definiert der Tragbereich 11 eine im Bereich 12 ausgebildete Vertiefung oder Erhebung, je nach Blickrichtung. Durch die Verprägung bzw. durch den Versatz entsteht eine Stufe 13, die den Übergang zwischen dem Tragbereich 11 und dem angrenzenden Bereich 12 definiert und die eine intensive Aussteifung des Tragbereichs 11 bewirkt. Der Tragbereich 11 ist hier vom daran angrenzenden Bereich 12 vollständig umfasst, so dass auch die Stufe 13 geschlossen umlaufend ausgestaltet ist. Bei der hier gezeigten, bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind außerdem zwei einander gegenüberliegende Randabschnitte 14 des Öffnungsrands 9 vom Tragbereich 11 abgewinkelt. Die beiden Randabschnitte 14 sind im Beispiel um etwa 90° gegenüber einer Tragbereichsebene abgewinkelt, in welcher der Tragbereich 11 liegt. Ferner erstrecken sich die beiden Randabschnitte 14 jeweils geradlinig und parallel zueinander. Außerdem erstrecken sich die beiden abgewinkelten Randabschnitte 14 im Beispiel senkrecht zur Längsrichtung 15 des Geräteträgers 3.According to the FIGS. 3 and 4 For example, the device carrier 3 has a support region 11 enclosing the opening 8, which has the opening edge 9 and which is offset relative to a region 12 of the device carrier 3 adjoining it in the longitudinal direction 15 of the luminaire 1. This offset can be produced for example by forming on the equipment carrier 3, in particular by embossing the equipment carrier 3 in the region of the opening 8. The support area 11 is configured flat and is accordingly in a support area level. The device carrier 3 is likewise planar in the region 12 adjoining the carrier region 11, so that this region lies in a device carrier plane. The support area plane extends parallel to the device support plane and is spaced therefrom. Demensprechend defines the support portion 11 formed in a region 12 recess or survey, depending on the viewing direction. By stamping or by the offset creates a step 13, which defines the transition between the support portion 11 and the adjacent region 12 and causes an intensive stiffening of the support portion 11. The support region 11 is completely enclosed here by the region 12 adjoining it, so that the step 13 is designed to be closed in a closed manner. In the preferred embodiment shown here, two opposing edge portions 14 of the opening edge 9 are also angled from the support portion 11. The two edge portions 14 are angled in the example by about 90 ° relative to a support area level, in which the support portion 11 is located. Furthermore, the two edge portions 14 each extend in a straight line and parallel to each other. In addition, in the example, the two angled edge sections 14 extend perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 15 of the device carrier 3.

Bei der hier gezeigten, bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist außerdem vorgesehen, dass der jeweilige Randabschnitt 14 entgegen einer Richtung, in welcher der Tragbereich 11 gegenüber dem angrenzenden Bereich 12 versetzt ist, vom Tragbereich 11 abgewinkelt ist. Im Beispiel der Figur 3 ist der Tragbereich 11 gegenüber dem angrenzenden Bereich 12 nach unten also zur Außenseite des Geräteträgers 3 versetzt, während die Randabschnitte 14 vom Tragbereich 11 nach oben also zur Innenseite des Geräteträgers 3 abgewinkelt sind.In the preferred embodiment shown here, provision is also made for the respective edge section 14 to be counter to a direction in which the support region 11 is offset from the adjacent region 12, from the support region 11 is angled. In the example of FIG. 3 is the support portion 11 relative to the adjacent region 12 downwardly offset to the outside of the device carrier 3, while the edge portions 14 are angled from the support portion 11 upwards to the inside of the device carrier 3.

Die Rastelemente 10 des Fußes 7 können nun so ausgestaltet sein, dass sie den jeweiligen abgewinkelten Randabschnitt 14 hintergreifen, um den Fuß 7 mit dem Öffnungsrand 9 zu verrasten. Im Beispiel besitzt der Fuß 7 vier Rastelemente 10, wobei zwei voneinander abgewandte Rastelemente 10 die beiden abgewinkelten Randabschnitte 14 übergreifen, während zwei weitere Rastelemente 10 senkrecht dazu den Öffnungsrand 9 im Bereich der nicht abgewinkelten Seiten übergreifen, die sich zwischen den abgewinkelten Randabschnitten 14 in der Öffnung 8 gegenüberliegen.The locking elements 10 of the foot 7 can now be designed so that they engage behind the respective angled edge portion 14 in order to lock the foot 7 with the opening edge 9. In the example, the foot 7 has four locking elements 10, wherein two locking elements facing away from each other 10 overlap the two angled edge portions 14, while two further locking elements 10 perpendicular to the opening edge 9 in the region of non-angled sides overlap, extending between the angled edge portions 14 in the Opposite opening 8.

Der Geräteträger 3 ist ein Blechformteil und dementsprechend mittels Umformung aus einem Blechkörper hergestellt, der gemäß Figur 3 eine Wandstärke 16 aufweist. Diese Wandstärke 16 besitzt der Geräteträger 3 sowohl im Tragbereich 11 als auch im daran angrenzenden Bereich 12. Der Tragbereich 11 ist um einen Versatz 17 senkrecht gegenüber dem angrenzenden Bereich 12 versetzt. Der abgewinkelte Rand 14 steht um eine Höhe 18 vom Tragbereich 11 ab. Die Formgebung ist zweckmäßig so realisiert, dass der Versatz 17 etwa gleich groß ist wie die Wandstärke 16 und/oder dass die Höhe 18 etwa gleich groß ist wie die Wandstärke 16. Hierdurch fällt die durchgeführte Versteifungsmaßnahme extrem flach aus.The device carrier 3 is a sheet metal part and accordingly made by forming from a sheet metal body, according to FIG. 3 has a wall thickness 16. This wall thickness 16 has the equipment carrier 3 both in the support area 11 and in the area 12 adjacent thereto. The support area 11 is offset by an offset 17 perpendicular to the adjacent area 12. The angled edge 14 is about a height 18 from the support portion 11 from. The shaping is expediently realized so that the offset 17 is about the same size as the wall thickness 16 and / or that the height 18 is about the same size as the wall thickness 16. This makes the performed stiffening measure extremely flat.

Gemäß Figur 1 kann die Leuchte 1 außerdem ein mit unterbrochener Linie angedeutetes Schutzrohr 19 aufweisen, das die Leuchtstoffröhre 6 umhüllt und das an seinen Längsenden jeweils an einer solchen Fassung 5 gehalten ist. Im Beispiel besitzt die Fassung 5 zumindest eine ringförmig umlaufende Dichtlippe 20, die radial außen dicht am Schutzrohr 19 anliegt.According to FIG. 1 For example, the luminaire 1 may also have a protective tube 19, indicated by a broken line, which encloses the fluorescent tube 6 and which is held at its longitudinal ends to such a holder 5. For example the socket 5 has at least one annular circumferential sealing lip 20, which rests radially on the outside of the protective tube 19.

Die Öffnung 8 besitzt vorzugsweise einen rechteckigen Querschnitt, so dass der Öffnungsrand 9 vier Randabschnitte aufweist, die sich paarweise parallel gegenüberliegen. Im bevorzugten Beispiel sind nur die beiden senkrecht zur Längsrichtung 15 des Geräteträgers 3 verlaufenden Randabschnitte 14 abgewinkelt, während die beiden anderen, parallel zur Längsrichtung 15 des Geräteträgers 3 verlaufenden Randabschnitte nicht abgewinkelt sind. Grundsätzlich ist jedoch auch denkbar, zusätzlich auch die beiden parallel zur Längsrichtung 15 des Geräteträgers 3 verlaufenden Randabschnitte abzuwinkeln.The opening 8 preferably has a rectangular cross-section, so that the opening edge 9 has four edge portions, which lie opposite each other in pairs. In the preferred example, only the two perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 15 of the device carrier 3 extending edge portions 14 are angled, while the other two, parallel to the longitudinal direction 15 of the device carrier 3 extending edge portions are not angled. In principle, however, it is also conceivable to additionally angle the two edge portions extending parallel to the longitudinal direction 15 of the device carrier 3.
