Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Montagevorrichtung für einen Strahler, der zum Einbau in die Montageöffnung einer Decke oder Wand bestimmt ist.The present invention relates to a mounting device for a radiator, which is intended for installation in the mounting opening of a ceiling or wall.

Soll bei Beleuchtungsanwendungen die Möglichkeit bestehen, die Richtungsabgabe der Beleuchtung beeinflussen zu können, so kommen oftmals sog. Strahler zum Einsatz. Diese weisen in der Regel die Lichtquelle bzw. Lichtquellen umfassende Strahlerköpfe auf, welche in einem verhältnismäßig engen Winkelbereich Licht abgeben, allerdings schwenk- und/oder drehbar gelagert sind. Dementsprechend kann durch ein Verstellen des Strahlerkopfs die Richtung der Lichtabgabe in einfacher und schneller Weise beeinflusst werden.If, in lighting applications, it should be possible to influence the directional output of the lighting, so-called spotlights are often used. These generally have the light source or light sources comprehensive radiator heads, which emit light in a relatively narrow angular range, however, are pivotally and / or rotatably mounted. Accordingly, by adjusting the radiation head, the direction of the light emission can be influenced in a simple and fast manner.

Es sind im Wesentlichen zwei Möglichkeiten bekannt, derartige Strahler zu montieren. In einer ersten Variante sind die Strahler mit sogenannten Stromschienen verbunden, in denen Leitungen zur Stromversorgung und/oder Signalübertragung verlaufen. Die Strahlerköpfe sind in einem derartigen Fall an einem Arm, dem so genannten Ausleger, befestigt, wobei am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Auslegers ein Adapter vorgesehen ist, der in die Stromschiene eingesetzt und dort verankert wird. In diesem Fall sind der Ausleger und der Strahlerkopf, nicht jedoch der Adapter sichtbar.There are essentially two ways known to mount such emitters. In a first variant, the radiators are connected to so-called busbars, in which run lines for power and / or signal transmission. The radiator heads are in such a case on an arm, the so-called boom, attached, wherein at the opposite end of the boom, an adapter is provided, which is inserted into the busbar and anchored there. In this case, the boom and the radiation head, but not the adapter are visible.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Strahler in Montageöffnungen einer abgehängten Decke oder einer Wand anzuordnen. Hierfür sind spezielle Montagevorrichtungen bekannt, welche in der Decke oder Wand verankert werden und der Halterung des Strahlers dienen. Der Vorteil hierbei besteht darin, dass von der Unterseite her im Wesentlichen lediglich der Strahlerkopf erkennbar ist, nicht jedoch die Mittel zur Stromabnahme und dergleichen. Eine derartige Montagevorrichtung, welche die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 offenbart, ist beispielsweise aus der GB 2 450 986 A bekannt. Auch die US 2003/0210551 A1 sowie die US 2007/0047241 A1 zeigen Vorrichtungen zum Montieren von Strahlern in einer Decke.Another possibility is to arrange the spotlights in mounting holes of a suspended ceiling or a wall. For this purpose, special mounting devices are known, which are anchored in the ceiling or wall and serve the holder of the spotlight. The advantage here is that essentially only the emitter head can be seen from the underside, but not the means for current collection and the like. Such a mounting device, which discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1, is for example from the GB 2 450 986 A known. Also the US 2003/0210551 A1 as well as the US 2007/0047241 A1 show devices for mounting spotlights in a ceiling.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die zweite Variante des Einbaus des Strahlers in einer abgehängten Decke oder einer Wand, wobei die Montage in möglichst einfacher Weise erfolgen soll. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die Stärke bzw. Dicke der Decke unterschiedlich groß sein kann, wobei allerdings in sämtlichen Fällen eine möglichst schnelle und einfache Montage ermöglicht sein soll.The present invention relates to the second variant of the installation of the radiator in a suspended ceiling or a wall, the assembly should be carried out in the simplest possible way. It should be noted that the thickness or thickness of the ceiling can be of different sizes, but in all cases a quick and easy installation should be possible.

Aus der DE 202 01 313 U1 ist eine Leuchte zum Einbau in eine Deckenöffnung bekannt. Die Leuchte umfasst ein Bügelgestell, an dem über zwei Gelenkarmpaare ein Fassungskörper beweglich gehalten ist.From the DE 202 01 313 U1 is a luminaire for installation in a ceiling opening known. The lamp comprises a bracket frame, on which a pair of Gelenkarmpaare a socket body is movably held.

Aus der CA 2 428 807 A1 ist eine Topf-förmige Leuchtenhalterung mit zwei seitlichen ausbiegbaren Federelementen zum Halten in einer Deckeneinbauöffnung bekannt.From the CA 2 428 807 A1 For example, a pot-shaped light fixture with two lateral deflectable spring elements for holding in a ceiling installation opening is known.

Aus der US 5,077,650 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung einer Leuchte in einer Deckeneinbauöffnung bekannt, die seitlich ausbiegbare Federelemente aufweist.From the US 5,077,650 a device for mounting a lamp in a ceiling mounting opening is known, which has laterally bendable spring elements.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabenstellung zugrunde, eine Montagemöglichkeit für einen Strahler anzugeben, welche ein einfaches und schnelles Montieren des Strahlers in der Montageöffnung einer Decke oder Wand ermöglicht.The present invention is therefore the task of specifying a mounting option for a spotlight, which allows a simple and quick mounting of the radiator in the mounting hole of a ceiling or wall.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Montagevorrichtung, welche die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist, gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a mounting device, which has the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung beruht auf dem Gedanken, einen Einbaurahmen zu verwenden, der Mittel zur schwenkbaren Halterung des Strahlerkopfs aufweist. Die Verankerung des Einbaurahmens in der Montageöffnung erfolgt mit Hilfe mindestens eines Rastelements, welches durch eine seitliche Verformung von einer Montagestellung in eine Raststellung überführbar ist, wozu entsprechende Betätigungsmittel vorgesehen sind, welche in einem ausgeschwenkten Zustand des Strahlerkopfs zugänglich sind.The solution according to the invention is based on the idea of using a mounting frame which has means for the pivotable mounting of the radiator head. The anchoring of the mounting frame in the mounting opening takes place with the aid of at least one latching element, which is convertible by a lateral deformation of a mounting position in a locking position, including corresponding actuating means are provided which are accessible in a swung-out state of the radiator head.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dementsprechend eine Montagevorrichtung für einen Strahler, der zum Einbau in die Montageöffnung einer Decke oder Wand bestimmt ist, vorgeschlagen, wobei die Montagevorrichtung einen Einbaurahmen aufweist, der Mittel zur schwenkbaren Halterung eines Strahlerkopfs aufweist und mit zumindest einem Rastelement verbunden ist, welches durch eine seitliche Verformung von einer Montagestellung in eine Raststellung überführbar ist, sowie dem Rastelement zugeordnete Betätigungsmittel zum Überführen des Rastelements von der Montagestellung in die Raststellung, wobei die Betätigungsmittel in einem ausgeschwenkten Zustand des Strahlerkopfs zugänglich sind.According to the invention, a mounting device for a spotlight, which is intended for installation in the mounting opening of a ceiling or wall, proposed, wherein the mounting device comprises a mounting frame having means for pivotally mounting a radiating head and is connected to at least one locking element, which by a lateral deformation of a mounting position can be converted into a locking position, and the locking element associated actuating means for transferring the locking element from the mounting position to the locking position, wherein the actuating means are accessible in a swung-out state of the radiator head.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung erlaubt es also, den Einbaurahmen mit dem bereits daran befestigten Strahlerkopf in die Montageöffnung einzusetzen und dort mit Hilfe der Betätigungsmittel in der Decke oder Wand zu verankern. In einfacher Weise kann hierbei also eine Montage der gesamten Anordnung stattfinden, ohne dass zunächst der Einbaurahmen separat befestigt und dann der Strahlerkopf damit verbunden werden müsste.The solution according to the invention thus makes it possible to insert the mounting frame with the already attached thereto radiating head in the mounting hole and there to anchor using the actuating means in the ceiling or wall. In a simple way can In this case, therefore, a mounting of the entire arrangement take place without first mounting the mounting frame separately and then the spotlight head would have to be connected.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Rastelement durch ein biegbares Federelement gebildet, welches an einem der beiden Enden fixiert und dessen anderes Ende durch die Betätigungsmittel verschiebbar ist. Dabei kann das bewegbare Ende des Federelements mit einem Schiebeelement gekoppelt sein, welches durch die Betätigungsmittel verstellbar ist. Vorzugsweise weist die Montagevorrichtung zwei einander gegenüberliegende Federelemente auf, welche an ihrem oberen Ende durch das Schiebeelement miteinander verbunden sind. Das Betätigungsmittel kann dabei insbesondere eine mit dem Schiebeelement zusammenwirkende Schraube sein, welche erfindungsgemäß im ausgeschwenkten Zustand des Strahlerkopfs in einfacher Weise von der Unterseite her zugänglich ist.According to the invention, the latching element is formed by a flexible spring element which is fixed at one of the two ends and whose other end is displaceable by the actuating means. In this case, the movable end of the spring element may be coupled to a sliding element, which is adjustable by the actuating means. Preferably, the mounting device on two opposing spring elements, which at its upper end by the Sliding element are interconnected. The actuating means may in particular be a cooperating with the sliding element screw, which is accessible according to the invention in the swung-out state of the radiator head in a simple manner from the bottom.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Federelement eine Längsschlitzung auf, welche zumindest teilweise durch ein Führungselement durchgriffen wird. Hierdurch wird die Zuverlässigkeit bei der Verankerung des Einbaurahmens in der Decke weiter erhöht, da eine gleichmäßige Kraftverteilung gewährleistet ist. Das Rastelement selbst kann einen zur Anlage gegen die Decke oder Wand vorgesehenen Rastbereich aufweisen, der mit Rastvorsprüngen versehen ist. Dieser Rastbereich kann bspw. durch ein perforiertes Blechteil gebildet sein und/oder eine zur Verrastung vorgesehene Beschichtung mit entsprechenden Vorsprüngen aufweisen. Durch die Nutzung eines entsprechenden flexiblen Rastelements wird die Möglichkeit eröffnet, dass die Verankerung des Einbaurahmens an der Decke oder Wand unabhängig von der Stärke bzw. Dicke erfolgen kann.According to the invention, the spring element has a longitudinal slot which is at least partially penetrated by a guide element. As a result, the reliability in the anchoring of the mounting frame in the ceiling is further increased, since a uniform force distribution is ensured. The locking element itself may have a provided for abutment against the ceiling or wall locking portion which is provided with locking projections. This latching region can be formed, for example, by a perforated sheet-metal part and / or have a coating provided for latching with corresponding projections. By using a corresponding flexible locking element opens up the possibility that the anchoring of the mounting frame on the ceiling or wall can be done regardless of the thickness or thickness.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen zunächst aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven ein abgehängtes Deckenelement 100, welches eine etwa kreisrunde Einbauöffnung 101 zur Montage eines Strahlers 1 aufweist. Die Montage soll dabei derart erfolgen, dass von der Unterseite her im Wesentlichen lediglich der Strahlerkopf 10 sichtbar ist. Wie später noch erläutert wird, ist der Strahlerkopf 10 schwenkbar gelagert und kann in verschiedene Stellungen gebracht werden, um die Richtung der Lichtabgabe zu beeinflussen.The Fig. 1 and 2 show first from different perspectives a suspended ceiling element 100, which has an approximately circular mounting hole 101 for mounting a radiator 1. The assembly should be done in such a way that of the Bottom forth essentially only the radiator head 10 is visible. As will be explained later, the radiator head 10 is pivotally mounted and can be placed in various positions to affect the direction of the light output.

Die Montage der gesamten Anordnung in der Einbauöffnung 101 des Deckenelements 100 soll in möglichst einfacher und schneller Weise erfolgen. Hierzu weist der Strahler 1 erfindungsgemäß eine Montagevorrichtung auf, welche nachfolgend näher beschrieben wird. Wesentlicher Bestandteil dieser Montagevorrichtung ist dabei ein Einbaurahmen 20, der der Halterung des Strahlerkopfs 10 dient und mit entsprechenden Mitteln zur Befestigung dem Deckenelement 100 ausgebildet ist.The assembly of the entire assembly in the mounting hole 101 of the ceiling element 100 should be done in the simplest and quickest possible way. For this purpose, the radiator 1 according to the invention a mounting device, which will be described in more detail below. An essential part of this mounting device is a mounting frame 20, which serves to hold the radiator head 10 and is formed with corresponding means for fastening the ceiling element 100.

Der Einbaurahmen 20 kann näher den Fig. 3 und 4 entnommen werden. Er ist etwa zylinderförmig ausgebildet und weist an seiner Unterseite einen umlaufenden Flansch 21 auf. Im montierten Zustand liegt dieser Flansch - wie in Fig. 1 erkennbar - an der Unterseite des Deckenelements 100 an und deckt insbesondere auch die Montageöffnung 101 ab.The mounting frame 20 can closer to the Fig. 3 and 4 be removed. It is approximately cylindrical and has a circumferential flange 21 on its underside. When mounted, this flange is located as in Fig. 1 recognizable - on the underside of the ceiling element 100 and in particular covers the mounting hole 101 from.

Im Inneren des Einbaurahmens 20 ist ein scheibenfömiges Halteelement 25 zur Halterung des Strahlerkopfs 10 angeordnet, welches insbesondere in den Fig. 6 und 7 gezeigt ist. Es weist einen Schlitz 26 auf, der zur Aufnahme eines säulenartigen Vorsprungs 11 des Strahlerkopfs ausgebildet ist. An der Unterseite befinden sich hierbei zwei Ösen 27, die zur Aufnahme einer durch den Vorsprung 11 des Strahlerkopfs 10 geführten Schraube 12 ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch wird einerseits eine Befestigung des Strahlerkopfs 10 an dem Halteelement 25 ermöglicht. Gleichzeitig wird hierdurch allerdings auch eine Schwenkachse definiert, um welche ein Verschwenken des Strahlerkopfs 10 ermöglicht ist. In dem Strahlerkopf 10 befinden sich Lichtquellen und optische Elemente, die nachfolgend nicht näher beschrieben werden sollen, da sie nicht Gegenstand der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung zur Montage des Strahlers sind. Es kann sich sowohl um herkömmliche Lichtquellen als auch um LEDs handeln.In the interior of the mounting frame 20 a scheibenfömiges support member 25 for holding the radiator head 10 is arranged, which in particular in the 6 and 7 is shown. It has a slot 26 which is designed to receive a columnar projection 11 of the radiator head. On the underside there are two eyelets 27, which are designed to receive a guided through the projection 11 of the radiator head 10 screw 12. As a result, on the one hand, attachment of the radiation head 10 to the holding element 25 is made possible. At the same time, however, this also defines a pivot axis about which a pivoting of the radiator head 10 is made possible. In the radiator head 10 are light sources and optical elements, which will not be described in more detail below, since they are not the subject of the inventive solution for mounting the radiator. They can be both conventional light sources and LEDs.

Die Verankerung des Einbaurahmens 20 in der Montageöffnung 101 des Deckenelements 100 erfolgt mit Hilfe zweier Rastelemente 30, die als biegbare Federelemente ausgebildet sind. Mit ihrem unteren Ende greifen die Federelemente 30 in eine umlaufende Nut 22 ein, die am Übergang zwischen Einbaurahmen 20 und Flansch 21 ausgebildet ist. Beide Federelemente 30 sind hierdurch mit ihrem unteren Ende fixiert. An ihrem oberen Ende wiederum sind die Federelemente 30 über ein Schiebeelement 33 miteinander verbunden. Das Schiebeelement 33 weist zentral eine Öffnung 34 auf, durch welche eine Stellschraube 35 geführt ist, die mit ihrem oberen Ende 36 an dem in Fig. 3 gezeigten Anlageelement 37 anliegt. Durch ein Verstellen der Schraube 35 wird die Länge des über das Schiebeelement 33 vorstehenden stirnseitigen Endes der Schraube 35 vergrößert oder verkleinert, was zur Folge hat, dass das Schiebeelement 33 in vertikaler Richtung nach oben oder unten verschoben wird.The anchoring of the mounting frame 20 in the mounting hole 101 of the ceiling member 100 is carried out by means of two locking elements 30 which are formed as bendable spring elements. With its lower end, the spring elements 30 engage in a circumferential groove 22, which is formed at the transition between mounting frame 20 and flange 21. Both spring elements 30 are thereby fixed with its lower end. At its upper end, in turn, the spring elements 30 are connected to one another via a sliding element 33. The sliding element 33 has a central Opening 34, through which an adjusting screw 35 is guided, with its upper end 36 to the in Fig. 3 shown contact element 37 is applied. By adjusting the screw 35, the length of the over the sliding element 33 protruding front end of the screw 35 is increased or decreased, with the result that the sliding element 33 is displaced in the vertical direction up or down.

Die beiden Federelemente 30 weisen entsprechend der Darstellung von Fig. 4 ferner an ihrem oberen Endbereich längliche Schlitzungen 31 auf, durch welche jeweils eine an dem Einbaurahmen 20 befindliche Schraube 24 greift. Diese Schrauben 24 dienen dementsprechend jeweils als Führungselement für das Federelement 30.The two spring elements 30 have according to the illustration of Fig. 4 Furthermore, at its upper end portion elongated slits 31, through which each one located on the mounting frame 20 screw 24 engages. Accordingly, these screws 24 each serve as a guide element for the spring element 30.

Wird also nunmehr die Stellschraube 35 derart verstellt, dass das Schiebelement 33 nach unten bewegt wird, so ruft dies eine seitliche Verformung der Federelemente 30 hervor. Insbesondere werden die Federelemente 30 in ihrem unteren Bereich seitlich ausgewölbt. Ein im unteren Bereich ausgebildeter Rastbereich 32 mit entsprechenden Rastvorsprüngen wird hierdurch gegen die Decke bzw. das Deckenelement 100 gepresst, wie dies in Fig. 8 gezeigt ist. Die Verzahnung führt hierbei zu einem Verkeilen des Einbaurahmens 20 in der Deckenöffnung 101, so dass die gesamte Anordnung zuverlässig fixiert wird.Thus, if now the adjusting screw 35 is adjusted such that the sliding element 33 is moved downward, this causes a lateral deformation of the spring elements 30. In particular, the spring elements 30 are bulged laterally in their lower area. A trained in the lower region locking portion 32 with corresponding locking projections is thereby pressed against the ceiling or the ceiling element 100, as in Fig. 8 is shown. The toothing leads to a wedging of the mounting frame 20 in the ceiling opening 101, so that the entire assembly is reliably fixed.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Rastbereich 32 durch ein perforiertes Blechteil gebildet. Es wäre allerdings auch denkbar, im unteren Bereich der Federelemente 30 eine entsprechende Beschichtung mit einem zum Verklemmen geeigneten Material oder entsprechenden Vorsprüngen vorzusehen. Ein Vorteil besteht dabei darin, dass eine Verklemmung bei unterschiedlich starken Deckenelementen ermöglicht ist, da sich das Federelement 30 jeweils in geeigneter Weise an das unterschiedlich starke Deckenelement anpasst. Insbesondere ist ein Einbau bei Deckenstärken im Bereich von 1 bis 25 mm ermöglicht.In the illustrated embodiment, the locking portion 32 is formed by a perforated sheet metal part. However, it would also be conceivable to provide a corresponding coating with a material suitable for clamping or corresponding projections in the lower region of the spring elements 30. An advantage consists in that a deadlock is made possible with ceiling elements of different thicknesses, since the spring element 30 in each case adapts in a suitable manner to the different thickness ceiling element. In particular, an installation with ceiling thicknesses in the range of 1 to 25 mm is possible.

Die Besonderheit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht nunmehr darin, dass das Verstellen der Schraube 35 und damit das Fixieren des Einbaurahmens 20 in der Decke bei eingebautem Strahlerkopf 10 ermöglicht ist. Es ist lediglich erforderlich, den Strahlerkopf 10 seitlich zu verschwenken, da in diesem Fall dann - bei einem ausreichenden Ausschwenken des Strahlerkopfs 10 - die Schraube 35 von der Unterseite her zugänglich ist. Dargestellt ist dies in Fig. 5, wobei aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit auf die Darstellung des Strahlerkopfs 10 verzichtet wurde. Dieser kann allerdings in jedem Fall soweit ausgeschwenkt werden, dass von der Unterseite her der Schlitz 26, der sich nahezu durch das gesamte Halteelement 25 erstreckt, zugänglich ist. Der Schlitz 26 wiederum ermöglicht einen durchgängigen Zugriff auf die Schraube 35. Letztendlich bedeutet dies, dass beim Montieren des erfindungsgemäßen Strahlers es lediglich erforderlich ist, zunächst die elektrische Verbindung herzustellen. Anschließend kann die gesamte Anordnung bestehend aus Einbaurahmen und Strahlerkopf in die Decke eingesetzt werden. Wird nunmehr der Strahlerkopf 10 seitlich ausgeschwenkt, so kann über die Stellschraube 35 die Verankerung mit der Decke erzielt werden und die Montage ist beendet.The peculiarity of the solution according to the invention is now that the adjustment of the screw 35 and thus the fixing of the mounting frame 20 in the ceiling with built-in radiator head 10 is made possible. It is only necessary to pivot the radiation head 10 laterally, since in this case - with sufficient pivoting of the radiator head 10 - the screw 35 is accessible from the bottom. This is shown in Fig. 5 , for reasons of clarity on the representation of the radiator head 10 has been omitted. However, this can in any case be pivoted so far that from the bottom of the slot 26 which extends almost through the entire holding member 25, is accessible. The slot 26 in turn allows a continuous access to the screw 35. Ultimately, this means that when mounting the radiator according to the invention, it is only necessary to first make the electrical connection. Subsequently, the entire arrangement consisting of mounting frame and spotlight head can be used in the ceiling. Now, if the radiator head 10 is swung laterally, it can be achieved via the screw 35 anchoring to the ceiling and the assembly is completed.

Die vorliegende Schilderung zeigt, dass die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ein besonders einfaches und schnelles Montieren des gesamten Strahlers ermöglicht. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass aufgrund der Flexibilität der Rastelemente die Montage bei unterschiedlich starken Decken erfolgen kann.The present description shows that the solution according to the invention enables a particularly simple and quick mounting of the entire radiator. Another advantage is that due to the flexibility of the locking elements, the assembly can be done with different thickness ceilings.
