Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting device for shelves and a shelf having the lighting device.
  • Lighting devices of shelves are known from the prior art, as they are used for example in supermarkets. These shelves relate in particular to so-called dry shelves, which are to be distinguished, for example, from refrigerated shelves or the like.
  • the lighting devices have the task of illuminating the product presented on the shelves.
  • a first variant provides the attachment of the light source 102 on the underside of a shelf 101 of a shelf 100 before. Since corresponding shelves 100 usually have metal floors, in this case, the attachment to the shelf 100 by means of magnets. Thus, the light sources or their carrier are equipped with magnets and can thus be attached to the shelf bottom. In this case, the product P is illuminated from the top.
  • the price tag 103 has such a profile shape that the snapping or latching of a light source 102, preferably an elongated transparent tube, in which a corresponding light source is arranged, is made possible on the underside of the price tag 103.
  • a matching luminaire profile element is snapped onto the existing price tag 103, which enables the light source 102 to be received on the price tag 103.
  • the price tag 103 equipped with the light source 102 is then in turn attachable to the end profile of the shelf 101, as in FIG. 8 shown.
  • a lighting device for a shelf which has an elongated profile body, and at least one arranged in the profile body lighting element.
  • the profile body has on a longitudinal side on a first holding profile to be attached to a front profile of a shelf - in a geometrically corresponding manner.
  • the profiled body has at the first longitudinal side opposite the first longitudinal side opposite a second holding profile, which emulates the contour of the end profile according to a first aspect of the invention or formed according to a second aspect of the invention with the first holding profile geometrically corresponding.
  • “replication" of the end profile is understood to mean that, in particular, the geometrical regions of the shelf or end profile required for the attachment of the profile body are simulated or imitated by the second retaining profile, so that a part which is originally to be fastened to the end profile, such as, for example, a price tag or even another profile body, can be easily attached to the end face or the second holding profile of the profile element.
  • Reproducing may therefore also include an embodiment in which the second retaining profile is designed in such a way that, in addition to the elements to be provided on the end profile (eg price tags), other elements can also be attached.
  • geometrically correspondingly formed means that the two holding profiles are designed such that the first holding profile can theoretically be brought into engagement with the second holding profile;
  • the second holding profile has a contour which corresponds to that of the end profile of the shelf insofar as they have the same geometric areas required for the attachment of a price tag or even a further profile body.
  • a kind of adapter which can be attached to a "standard" shelf and thus can be attached, for example, like a price tag.
  • the so-provided adapter or profile body displaces the contour of the end profile of the shelf forward, thus forming the shelf front edge, and thus in turn offers a standardized profile on which, for example, all popular price tags can be attached.
  • the profile body thus provides enough space to provide a (standardized) lighting element therein.
  • Profile elements leads.
  • the shelves are more or less standardized, i. there are only a very limited number of different shelf types or shelf (front edge) profiles, so that only a small number of corresponding profile bodies or adapters must be provided in order to provide a holding device for all known price tag types.
  • the profile body in turn provides a standardized recording for lighting elements, which in turn leads to a small number of standardized lighting elements.
  • the proposed solution is accordingly much cheaper and, despite everything, more flexible.
  • the illumination device may be designed such that it radiates in the direction of an area above a plane connecting the first and the second retaining profile and extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the profile body and / or in the direction of an area below this plane. It is thus also possible for the lighting device, in addition to the emission or light extraction downwards, to also illuminate the products in an overlying shelf area from below and thus to improve the illuminance and the illumination homogeneity, if a shelf area simultaneously from above as well as from below is illuminated. Overall, the light output, unlike in the known devices of the prior art, now not limited to certain directions.
  • At least two light-emitting elements can be provided, one of the light-emitting elements radiating in the direction of an area above the aforementioned plane (hereinafter also called “uplight”) and the other light-emitting element radiating in the direction of an area below this plane ( hereinafter also called “downlight”).

This bi-directional radiation (uplight and downlight) leads to a particularly effective illumination of a shelf area B.
  • the profile body 3 of the lighting device 1 is equipped with at least one light-emitting element 4.
  • the lighting device 1 can then be attached with its first holding profile 30 to the end profile 20 of the shelf 2, preferably snapped become.
  • the lighting elements 4, the holding elements 37, 38 and / or the light-guiding elements 60 can be adjusted according to the desired emission direction and the emission angle, preferably pivoted.
  • a further element, such as, for example, a price tag 70 or another lighting element 1 with its first holding profile 30 can be clipped or snapped onto the second holding profile 35.
  • the profile shape of the end profile 20 and the profile body 3 with the first and second retaining profile 30, 35 may be formed as desired, as long as they are formed correspondingly corresponding.
  • a lighting element 1 can be equipped with any of the above-described elements individually and in combination with each other or complement each other. The equipping of the lighting element 1 with the respective components can by successive insertion and fixing or by encapsulation of the components in the production of the plastic profile body (part) sstatten.
  • the profile body 3 is not limited to the above-described materials, as long as it allows the single or multi-part profile body 3 to emit light from the light-emitting element 4 in the shelf area B (preferably targeted and directed).
