In the present context, LEDs also mean OLEDs, where OLED stands for organic LED. LEDs are characterized by a high light output with comparatively low power consumption. A corresponding lighting device comprises a plurality of LEDs on at least one circuit board. For holding the respective board, the respective lighting device may then have a straight and elongated mounting rail. A light with such a lighting device is for example from the DE 10 2012 206 070 A1 known.

Während Leuchtstoffröhren keine bevorzugte Lichtabstrahlrichtung besitzen, weist eine Leuchteinrichtung, auf deren Tragkörper eine Platine mit mehreren LEDs angeordnet ist, eine bevorzugte Lichtabstrahlrichtung auf. Um die Lichtabstrahlrichtung der jeweiligen Leuchteinrichtung relativ zum Geräteträger bzw. relativ zum Tragprofil einstellen zu können, kann die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung mittels wenigstens einer Halterung um eine Schwenkachse verschwenkbar am Geräteträger befestigt sein. Die Realisierung einer derartigen Halterung ist dabei vergleichsweise aufwändig. Insbesondere in Verbindung mit der Schaffung einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen der Leuchteinrichtung und einer am Geräteträger angeordneten Leistungselektronik kann dabei vergleichsweise aufwändig sein.While fluorescent tubes have no preferred light emission direction, a lighting device, on whose supporting body a printed circuit board with a plurality of LEDs is arranged, has a preferred light emission direction. In order to adjust the light emission direction of the respective lighting device relative to the equipment carrier or relative to the support profile, the respective lighting device can be attached by means of at least one holder about a pivot axis pivotally mounted on the equipment carrier. The realization of such a holder is comparatively complicated. In particular, in connection with the creation of an electrical connection between the lighting device and an arranged on the equipment carrier power electronics can be relatively complex.

Eine gattungsgemäße Leuchte ist grundsätzlich aus der DE 690 22 913 T2 bekannt. Sie umfasst eine Halterung, mit der eine Leuchteinrichtung um eine Schwenkachse verschwenkbar an einem Geräteträger gehalten ist. Diese Halterung ist dabei mittels wenigstens vier separaten Halteteilen realisiert. Zwei erste Halteteile sind an der Leuchteinrichtung unmittelbar befestigt, ein zweites Halteteil ist um besagte Schwenkachse schwenkbar am ersten Halteteil unmittelbar befestigt, ein drittes Halteteil ist am zweiten Halteteil unmittelbar befestigt und ein viertes Halteteil ist einerseits unmittelbar am dritten Halteteil und andererseits am Geräteträger befestigt.A generic light is basically from the DE 690 22 913 T2 known. It comprises a holder with which a lighting device is held pivotably about a pivot axis on a device carrier. This holder is realized by means of at least four separate holding parts. Two first holding parts are attached directly to the lighting device, a second holding part is pivotally mounted about said pivot axis on the first holding part, a third holding part is directly attached to the second holding part and a fourth holding part is on the one hand directly to the third holding part and on the other hand attached to the equipment carrier.

Weitere Leuchten mit mehrteiligen Halterungen sind aus der US 2005/002182 A1 und aus der DE 34 37 667 A1 bekannt.Other lights with multi-part brackets are from the US 2005/002182 A1 and from the DE 34 37 667 A1 known.

Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für eine Leuchte der eingangs genannten Art eine verbesserte Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere durch einen vereinfachten Aufbau auszeichnet, der eine vergleichsweise einfache Montage der Leuchte ermöglicht.The present invention is concerned with the problem of providing for a luminaire of the type mentioned an improved embodiment, which characterized in particular by a simplified structure that allows a comparatively simple installation of the lamp.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, die jeweilige Halterung mit wenigstens vier separaten Halteteilen zu realisieren, die vergleichsweise einfach, insbesondere werkzeuglos, aneinander befestigt werden können, um die Halterung zu bilden. Dabei ist eine Elektrifizierung der Leuchte durch eine solche Halterung hindurchgeführt, also in diese baulich integriert. Sofern die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung mit mehr als einer solchen Halterung am Geräteträger befestigt ist, reicht es natürlich aus, die Elektrifizierung der jeweiligen Leuchteinrichtung nur durch eine dieser Halterungen hindurchzuführen.The invention is based on the general idea of realizing the respective holder with at least four separate holding parts, which can be attached to one another relatively simply, in particular without tools, in order to form the holder. In this case, an electrification of the lamp is passed through such a holder, so integrated into this structurally. If the respective lighting device is fastened with more than one such holder on the equipment carrier, it is of course sufficient to pass the electrification of the respective lighting device only by one of these brackets.

Durch die Verwendung mehrerer, leicht aneinander befestigbarer Halteteile lässt sich die Halterung einfach montieren, und zwar vorzugsweise ohne Verwendung von Werkzeugen. Beispielsweise können die aneinander festzulegenden Halteteile miteinander verrastet bzw. miteinander verclipst sein. Auch lassen sich elektrische Kontakte einfach in derartige steckbare Verbindungen integrieren, so dass auch hier eine einfache Montage möglich ist.By using multiple, easily fastened together holding parts, the holder can be mounted easily, preferably without the use of tools. For example, the holding parts to be fixed to each other can be locked together or clipped together. Also, electrical contacts can be easily integrated into such pluggable connections, so that even here a simple assembly is possible.

Im Einzelnen schlägt die Erfindung zur Realisierung der jeweiligen Halterung vor, zumindest ein erstes Halteteil an einer Rückseite der jeweiligen Tragschiene zu befestigen, wobei das jeweilige erste Halteteil an einem zweiten Teil um die Schwenkachse verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Ferner umfasst die jeweilige Halterung ein drittes Halteteil, das am zweiten Halteteil angeordnet ist und das elektrische Steckkontakte aufweist, die quasi durch das zweite Halteteil hindurch mit wenigstens einem Leuchtmittel der Leuchteinrichtung elektrisch verbunden sind. Ein viertes Halteteil der jeweiligen Halterung ist dann am Geräteträger befestigt. Ferner ist das vierte Halteteil am zweiten Halteteil befestigt und besitzt elektrische Gegensteckkontakte, die komplementär zu den Steckkontakten des dritten Halteteils ausgestaltet und mit diesem elektrisch kontaktiert sind und die mit einer Stromversorgung, insbesondere mit einer Leistungselektronik der Leuchte, elektrisch verbunden sind. Durch diese Bauweise erfolgt die Anbindung der jeweiligen Halterung an die Leuchteinrichtung über das wenigstens eine erste Halteteil. Die Verbindung zum Geräteträger erfolgt über das vierte Halteteil. Die schwenkbare Lagerung zur Realisierung der Schwenkachse erfolgt zwischen dem jeweiligen ersten Halteteil und dem zweiten Halteteil. Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen der Leuchteinrichtung und der beispielsweise am Geräteträger angeordneten Stromversorgung erfolgt über eine elektrische Steckverbindung zwischen dem dritten Halteteil und dem vierten Halteteil. Die mechanische Verbindung zwischen der jeweiligen Leuchteinrichtung und dem Geräteträger erfolgt innerhalb der Halterung zwischen dem vierten Halteteil und dem zweiten Halteteil. Somit werden den unterschiedlichen Halteteilen unterschiedliche Funktionen zugeordnet, wobei diese Aufteilung der Funktionen gezielt so erfolgt, dass die Montage besonders einfach realisierbar ist.In detail, the invention proposes for the realization of the respective holder, to attach at least a first holding part to a rear side of the respective support rail, wherein the respective first holding part is pivotally mounted on a second part about the pivot axis. Furthermore, the respective holder comprises a third holding part, which is arranged on the second holding part and has the electrical plug contacts, which are quasi through the second holding part through electrically connected to at least one lamp of the lighting device. A fourth Holding part of each bracket is then attached to the equipment rack. Furthermore, the fourth holding part is attached to the second holding part and has electrical mating plug contacts, which are designed to be complementary to the plug contacts of the third holding part and electrically contacted with the latter and which are electrically connected to a power supply, in particular to a power electronics of the light. By this construction, the connection of the respective holder to the lighting device via the at least one first holding part. The connection to the equipment carrier via the fourth holding part. The pivotable mounting for the realization of the pivot axis takes place between the respective first holding part and the second holding part. The electrical connection between the lighting device and arranged for example on the equipment rack power supply via an electrical plug connection between the third holding part and the fourth holding part. The mechanical connection between the respective lighting device and the device carrier takes place within the holder between the fourth holding part and the second holding part. Thus, different functions are assigned to the different holding parts, wherein this division of the functions is targeted so that the assembly is particularly easy to implement.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte ist das vierte Halteteil durch das dritte Halteteil hindurch am zweiten Halteteil befestigt. Hierdurch lässt sich das dritte Halteteil durch Formschluss zwischen viertem Halteteil und zweitem Halteteil fixieren. Ferner lässt sich dadurch das dritte Halteteil mit reduzierter Steifigkeit und somit leichter und preiswerter realisieren, da die Haltefunktion hauptsächlich vom zweiten Halteteil erbracht wird.In the luminaire according to the invention, the fourth holding part is fastened through the third holding part to the second holding part. As a result, the third holding part can be fixed by positive locking between the fourth holding part and the second holding part. Furthermore, this makes it possible to realize the third holding part with reduced rigidity and thus easier and cheaper, since the holding function is mainly provided by the second holding part.

Entsprechend einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann das jeweilige erste Halteteil über eine Verrastung am zweiten Halteteil gehalten sein, die eine Schwenkverstellung um die Schwenkachse zwischen erstem Halteteil und zweitem Halteteil in mehreren Raststufen ermöglicht, denen jeweils ein vorbestimmter Schwenkwinkel zugeordnet ist. Die Realisierung derartiger Raststufen ermöglicht zum einen das Einstellen vorbestimmter Abstrahlwinkel für die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung. Zum anderen bewirken die Raststufen, dass die jeweils eingestellte Abstrahlrichtung vergleichsweise einfach aufrechterhalten bleibt, ohne dass zusätzliche Fixiermaßnahmen zum Festlegen der eingestellten Ausrichtung zwischen Leuchteinrichtung und Geräteträger erforderlich sind.According to an advantageous embodiment, the respective first holding part may be held by a latching on the second holding part, which allows a pivotal adjustment about the pivot axis between the first holding part and the second holding part in a plurality of latching steps, each having a predetermined pivoting angle assigned. The realization of such detent stages allows for a setting of predetermined radiation angle for the respective lighting device. On the other hand, the latching steps cause that each set radiation direction is maintained comparatively easy without additional fixing measures for setting the set orientation between the lighting device and equipment carrier are required.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann das jeweilige erste Halteteil einen Ring aufweisen. Das zweite Halteteil kann für das jeweilige erste Halteteil einen Zapfen aufweisen, auf den der jeweilige Ring axial aufgesteckt ist, wodurch die Schwenkachse der Halterung definiert wird. Die vorstehend genannte Verzahnung zwischen erstem und zweitem Halteteil kann grundsätzlich an beliebiger Stelle ausgebildet sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist jedoch eine Integration dieser Verrastung in den Ring und/oder in den Zapfen. In diesem Fall kann gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung vorgesehen sein, dass das jeweilige erste Halteteil einen Ring aufweisen, der an seinem Innenumfang eine Innenverzahnung aufweist. Das zweite Halteteil kann für das jeweilige erste Halteteil einen Zapfen aufweisen, auf den der jeweilige Ring axial aufgesteckt ist und der an seinem Außenumfang eine Außenverzahnung aufweist, die mit der jeweiligen Innenverzahnung zum Ausbilden der Raststufen zusammenwirkt. Die jeweilige Innenverzahnung kann dabei zumindest einen Innenzahn aufweisen. Die jeweilige Außenverzahnung kann dabei zumindest einen Außenzahn aufweisen. Zur Realisierung mehrerer Raststufen besitzt zumindest eine der Verzahnungen mehrere Zähne. Vorzugsweise besitzt die Innenverzahnung mehrere Innenzähne, während die Außenverzahnung im einfachsten Fall für jede Drehrichtung nur einen Außenzahn besitzt.According to an advantageous development, the respective first holding part may have a ring. The second holding part may have a pin for the respective first holding part, on which the respective ring is fitted axially, whereby the pivot axis of the holder is defined. The above gearing between the first and second holding part can basically be formed at any point. However, an integration of this latching in the ring and / or in the pin is particularly advantageous. In this case, according to an advantageous development, it may be provided that the respective first holding part has a ring which has internal teeth on its inner circumference. The second holding part may have a pin for the respective first holding part, on which the respective ring is fitted axially and which has on its outer periphery an external toothing, which cooperates with the respective internal toothing for forming the latching steps. The respective internal toothing can have at least one internal tooth. The respective outer toothing can have at least one outer tooth. To realize a plurality of latching steps, at least one of the teeth has a plurality of teeth. Preferably, the internal toothing has a plurality of inner teeth, while the outer toothing has only one external tooth for each direction of rotation in the simplest case.

Zumindest ein solcher Zapfen kann hohl ausgestaltet sein und insbesondere einen Durchgang zum Durchführen elektrischer Kabel definieren, wodurch elektrische Kabel vom jeweiligen Leuchtmittel durch den Zapfen hindurch in das zweite Halteteil hineingeführt werden können.At least one such pin may be hollow and in particular define a passage for passing electrical cables, whereby electrical cables from the respective lighting means can be guided into the second holding part through the pin.

Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann der jeweilige Ring distal zur Tragschiene einen Federbereich aufweisen, der gegen eine Rückstellkraft eine elastische Aufweitung des Rings zulässt. Diese Maßnahme ermöglicht einerseits eine vergleichsweise leichtgängige Verschwenkbarkeit zum Einstellen unterschiedlicher Abstrahlwinkel zwischen Leuchteinrichtung und Geräteträger. Andererseits wird eine ausreichende Haltekraft geschaffen, welche die jeweils eingestellte Ausrichtung hinreichend fixiert, um ein unerwünschtes, selbsttätiges Verstellen zu vermeiden. Beispielsweise kann der Federbereich durch einen U-förmigen Federbügel gebildet sein, der zwei Ringsegmente des Rings miteinander verbindet.In another advantageous development, the respective ring can have a spring region distal to the mounting rail, which allows an elastic widening of the ring against a restoring force. On the one hand, this measure enables comparatively smooth pivoting for setting different emission angles between lighting device and equipment carrier. On the other hand, a sufficient holding force is created which sufficiently fixes the respectively set orientation, in order to avoid an undesired, automatic adjustment. For example, the spring area by a U-shaped Be formed spring clip, which connects two ring segments of the ring together.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform kann die Tragschiene an ihrer Rückseite eine Axialführung aufweisen, in welche das jeweilige erste Halteteil mit einem Fuß axial eingesteckt ist und die das jeweilige erste Halteteil quer zur Axialrichtung an der Tragschiene festlegt. Hierdurch lässt sich das jeweilige erste Halteteil besonders einfach an der Tragschiene anbringen. Beispielsweise kann die jeweilige Axialführung an der jeweiligen Längsseite des Fußes des zugehörigen ersten Halteteils nach Art einer Nut-Feder-Führung ausgestaltet sein. Hierzu kann der jeweilige Fuß an seinen Längsseiten jeweils einen seitlich abstehenden Vorsprung aufweisen, der in eine entsprechende Längsnut der Tragschiene seitlich eingreift. Sobald für die jeweilige Halterung die gewünschte Axialposition entlang der Tragschiene gefunden ist, lässt sich das jeweilige erste Halteteil optional mit Hilfe eines separaten Befestigungselements an der Tragschiene fixieren. Beispielsweise kann eine Schraube oder ein Kerbstift den jeweiligen Fuß an der Tragschiene festlegen.In another embodiment, the mounting rail may have on its rear side an axial guide, in which the respective first holding part is axially inserted with a foot and which defines the respective first holding part transversely to the axial direction of the mounting rail. As a result, the respective first holding part can be attached particularly easily to the mounting rail. For example, the respective axial guide can be configured on the respective longitudinal side of the foot of the associated first holding part in the manner of a tongue and groove guide. For this purpose, the respective foot may each have on its longitudinal sides a laterally protruding projection, which laterally engages in a corresponding longitudinal groove of the mounting rail. As soon as the desired axial position along the carrier rail is found for the respective holder, the respective first holder part can optionally be fixed to the carrier rail with the aid of a separate fastening element. For example, a screw or a grooved pin define the respective foot on the support rail.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform können elektrische Kabel, deren jeweils von einem elektrischen Isolator umhüllter elektrischer Leiter mit dem wenigstens einen Leuchtmittel elektrisch verbunden sind, in einen Kontaktbereich des zweiten Halteteils hineingeführt und darin mit Positioniermitteln positioniert sein. Beispielsweise lassen sich die Kabel wie vorstehend genannt durch einen der Zapfen hindurch in das zweite Halteteil hereinführen. Zweckmäßig können nun die Steckkontakte des dritten Halteteils bzw. darin enthaltene metallische Kontaktelemente an ihrem dem zweiten Halteteil zugewandten Ende als Schneidkontakte ausgestaltet sein, die beim Anbringen des dritten Halteteils am zweiten Halteteil im Kontaktbereich die jeweilige Isolation der Kabel durchdringen und unmittelbar den jeweiligen elektrischen Leiter kontaktieren. Durch diese Bauweise kann ein aufwendiges Abisolieren der Kabel in einem zur Kontaktierung mit den Steckkontakten des dritten Halteteils vorgesehenen Abschnitt entfallen, da die Schneidkontakte beim Anbringen des dritten Halteteils am zweiten Halteteil die jeweilige Isolation selbsttätig durchdringen, um die gewünschte unmittelbare Kontaktierung zwischen den Steckkontakten bzw. deren Kontaktelementen und den elektrischen Leitern herzustellen.In another embodiment, electrical cables, each of which is electrically connected by an electrical insulator electrical conductors are electrically connected to the at least one light source, guided into a contact region of the second holding member and positioned therein with positioning. For example, the cables can, as mentioned above, pass through one of the pins into the second holding part. Conveniently, the plug contacts of the third holding part or metallic contact elements contained therein can now be configured as cutting contacts on their end facing the second holding part, which penetrate the respective insulation of the cables when the third holding part is attached to the second holding part in the contact area and contact the respective electrical conductor directly , This design can be a complex Stripping the cable omitted in a provided for contacting with the plug contacts of the third holding part section, since the cutting contacts when attaching the third holding part on the second holding part penetrate the respective insulation automatically to the desired direct contact between the plug contacts or their contact elements and the electrical conductors manufacture.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform kann das dritte Halteteil mit dem zweiten Halteteil verrastet sein. Somit lassen sich zweites Halteteil und drittes Halteteil besonders einfach und werkzeuglos aneinander festlegen.In another embodiment, the third holding part may be locked to the second holding part. Thus, the second holding part and third holding part can be particularly easily and without tools set together.

Entsprechendes kann auch für das vierte Halteteil und das zweite Halteteil gelten, so dass sich auch hier mittels einer Verrastung eine einfach herstellbare Verbindung ergibt.The same can also apply to the fourth holding part and the second holding part, so that also here by means of a locking results in an easily produced connection.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform kann das dritte Halteteil in einer Befestigungsrichtung, in der das vierte Halteteil am zweiten Halteteil befestigt ist, zwischen dem zweiten Halteteil und dem vierten Halteteil angeordnet sein. Auf diese Weise ist das dritte Halteteil zwischen dem zweiten Halteteil und dem vierten Halteteil verbaut. Da das zweite Halteteil am vierten Halteteil befestigt wird, kann dadurch auch automatisch eine Fixierung des dritten Halteteils innerhalb der Halterung, zwischen dem zweiten Halteteil und dem vierten Halteteil erfolgen.In another embodiment, the third holding part may be arranged between the second holding part and the fourth holding part in a fastening direction in which the fourth holding part is attached to the second holding part. In this way, the third holding part is installed between the second holding part and the fourth holding part. Since the second holding part is fastened to the fourth holding part, this can also automatically fix the third holding part within the holder, between the second holding part and the fourth holding part.

Entsprechend einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann das vierte Halteteil zumindest einen Rasthaken aufweisen, der eine Durchgangsöffnung des dritten Halteteils durchdringt und der mit einer Rastöffnung des zweiten Halteteils verrastet. Auf diese Weise wird das dritte Halteteil beim Verrasten des vierten Halteteils am zweiten Halteteil sicher und zuverlässig festgelegt.According to a particularly advantageous development, the fourth holding part may comprise at least one latching hook, which penetrates a passage opening of the third holding part and which engages with a latching opening of the second holding part. In this way, the third holding part is securely and reliably fixed when locking the fourth holding part on the second holding part.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann das vierte Halteteil mit dem Geräteträger verrastet sein. Somit kann auch hier eine besonders einfach herstellbare Verbindung zwischen Geräteträger und Halterung realisiert werden.In a further embodiment, the fourth holding part may be latched to the device carrier. Thus, a particularly easy to produce connection between the equipment carrier and holder can also be realized here.

Bei einer Weiterbildung kann das vierte Halteteil eine an einer Vorderseite des Geräteträgers anliegende Platte aufweisen, von der ausgehend ein die Gegensteckkontakte aufweisender Steckbereich durch eine Stecköffnung des Geräteträgers hindurchragt und mit wenigstens einem am Steckbereich ausgebildeten Rastelement mit der Stecköffnung verrastet ist. Hierdurch kann bereits eine ausreichend feste Fixierung zwischen viertem Halteteil und Geräteträger realisiert werden. Die Platte des vierten Halteteils sorgt dabei für eine flächige Kontaktierung zwischen dem vierten Halteteil und dem Geräteträger.In a further development, the fourth holding part may have a voltage applied to a front of the device carrier plate, starting from the mating plug having Stecksteck range protrudes through a plug opening of the device carrier and is latched with at least one latching element formed on the plug-in area with the insertion opening. As a result, a sufficiently firm fixation between fourth holding part and equipment carrier can already be realized. The plate of the fourth holding part ensures a surface contact between the fourth holding part and the device carrier.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass an der Platte außerdem distal zum Steckbereich wenigstens eine Rastnase ausgeht, die eine Rastöffnung des Geräteträgers durchdringt und damit verrastet ist. Durch diese zusätzliche Verbindung zwischen dem vierten Halteteil und dem Geräteträger können außerdem Momente zwischen viertem Halteteil und Geräteträger abgestützt werden, was die Fixierung zwischen viertem Halteteil und Geräteträger zusätzlich stabilisiert.In an advantageous development, it may be provided that at least one latching lug, which penetrates a latching opening of the device carrier and is latched therewith, on the plate also extends distally to the plug-in region. By virtue of this additional connection between the fourth holding part and the device carrier, moments between the fourth holding part and the device carrier can also be supported, which additionally stabilizes the fixation between the fourth holding part and the device carrier.

Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann das jeweilige Leuchtmittel durch mehrere, an einer geradlinigen und länglichen Platine angeordnete LEDs gebildet sein. Bei mehreren Leuchtmitteln können dementsprechend auch mehrere derartige Platinen an der Tragschiene angeordnet sein. Der Geräteträger weist an seiner Rückseite, also in einem Inneren des Tragprofils, eine Leistungselektronik zum Versorgen des jeweiligen Leuchtmittels mit elektrischer Energie auf, die im montierten Zustand der Leuchte an ein Stromnetz angeschlossen ist. Die Leistungselektronik umfasst z.B. ein Netzgerät. Die Leistungselektronik bildet somit die Stromversorgung des jeweiligen Leuchtmittels. Die Gegensteckkontakte des vierten Halteteils sind mit besagter Leistungselektronik elektrisch verbunden. Hierzu können die Gegensteckkontakte an einer von der Leuchteinrichtung abgewandten Seite Steckplätze aufweisen, in welche abisolierte Enden von Kabeln einsteckbar sind, die zur Leistungselektronik führen.In another advantageous embodiment, the respective lighting means may be formed by a plurality of LEDs arranged on a rectilinear and oblong circuit board. In the case of several light sources, accordingly, a plurality of such boards can also be arranged on the mounting rail. The device carrier has on its rear side, that is to say in an interior of the carrier profile, power electronics for supplying the respective lighting device with electrical energy, which is connected to a power supply in the mounted state of the luminaire. The power electronics include, for example, a power supply. The power electronics thus forms the power supply of the respective bulb. The mating plug contacts of the fourth holding part are electrically connected to said power electronics. For this purpose, the mating plug contacts on a side remote from the lighting device side slots have, in which stripped ends of cables can be inserted, which lead to the power electronics.

Gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass zwei Leuchteinrichtungen nebeneinander am Geräteträger angeordnet sind, die unabhängig voneinander jeweils um eine separate Schwenkachse verschwenkbar sind, wobei die jeweilige Halterung für die beiden Leuchteinrichtungen jeweils wenigstens ein separates erstes Halteteil, ein gemeinsames zweites Halteteil, ein gemeinsames drittes Halteteil und ein gemeinsames viertes Halteteil aufweist.According to another advantageous embodiment it can be provided that two lighting devices are arranged side by side on the equipment carrier, which are each independently pivotable about a separate pivot axis, wherein the respective holder for the two lighting devices each at least a separate first holding part, a common second holding part, a has common third holding part and a common fourth holding part.

Entsprechend Figur 1 umfasst eine geradlinige und längliche Leuchte 1 ein gerades und längliches Tragprofil 2, einen geraden und länglichen Geräteträger 3 und wenigstens eine gerade und längliche Leuchteinrichtung 4, die auch als Lampe bezeichnet werden kann. Figur 1 zeigt dabei eine einflammige Leuchte 1, bei der nur eine solche Leuchteinrichtung 4 am Geräteträger 3 angeordnet ist. Im Unterschied dazu zeigt Figur 9 eine zweiflammige Leuchte 1, bei der am Geräteträger 3 zwei derartige Leuchteinrichtungen 4 nebeneinander angeordnet sind.Corresponding FIG. 1 For example, a rectilinear and oblong luminaire 1 comprises a straight and elongated supporting profile 2, a straight and elongate device carrier 3 and at least one straight and oblong lighting device 4, which may also be referred to as a lamp. FIG. 1 shows a single-lamp 1, in which only such a lighting device 4 is arranged on the equipment carrier 3. In difference to show FIG. 9 a two-lamp lamp 1, in which the device carrier 3, two such lighting devices 4 are arranged side by side.

Das Tragprofil 2 dient zur Montage der Leuchte 1 an einer Wand oder Decke. Der Geräteträger 3 trägt zumindest einen elektrischen Verbraucher, nämlich zumindest die Leuchteinrichtung 4. Der Geräteträger 3 ist am Tragprofil 2 lösbar befestigt. Beispielsweise kann der Geräteträger 3 mit dem Tragprofil 2 verrastet sein. Insbesondere können dabei nach außen gerichtete Abschnitte von Längsseitenrändern des Geräteträgers 3 mit nach innen gerichteten Längsseitenrändern des Tragprofils 2 zusammenwirken, um jeweils über die gesamte Länge des Tragprofils 2 und des Geräteträgers 3 eine seitliche Verrastung 5 zu bilden, die optional außerdem eine Dichtfunktion erfüllen kann. Mit Hilfe einer Riegeleinrichtung 6 lässt sich außerdem eine Verriegelung zwischen Geräteträger 3 und Tragprofil 2 erzeugen.The support profile 2 is used for mounting the lamp 1 on a wall or ceiling. The device carrier 3 carries at least one electrical load, namely at least the lighting device 4. The device carrier 3 is releasably secured to the support section 2. For example, the device carrier 3 may be locked to the support section 2. In particular, outwardly directed sections of longitudinal side edges of the equipment carrier 3 can cooperate with inwardly directed longitudinal side edges of the support profile 2 to form over the entire length of the support section 2 and the device carrier 3, a lateral latching 5, which can optionally also fulfill a sealing function. With the help of a locking device 6 can also create a lock between the device carrier 3 and support section 2.

Die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung 4 weist eine geradlinige und längliche Tragschiene 7 auf und ist mittels wenigstens einer Halterung 8 um eine Schwenkachse 9 schwenkbar am Geräteträger 3 befestigt. Die Schwenkachse 9 erstreckt sich dabei parallel zu den Längsachsen der Leuchte 1, des Tragprofils 2, des Geräteträgers 3 und der Leuchteinrichtung 4. Dabei erstreckt sich die Schwenkachse 9 zwischen dem Geräteträger 3 und der Leuchteinrichtung 4 durch die Halterung 8 hindurch. Die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung 4 weist an einer vom Geräteträger 3 abgewandten Vorderseite der zugehörigen Tragschiene 7 zumindest ein elektrisches Leuchtmittel 10 auf. Bei den hier gezeigten, bevorzugten Ausführungsformen ist das jeweilige Leuchtmittel 10 durch eine Platine gebildet, die im Folgenden ebenfalls mit 10 bezeichnet wird und die eine Vielzahl von LEDs 11 trägt. Die LEDs 11 sind dabei bevorzugt entlang einer geradlinigen Reihe an der Platine 10 angeordnet. Grundsätzlich kann die Leuchteinrichtung 4 mit einer einzigen derartigen Platine 10 ausgestattet sein. Ebenso ist es möglich, an der Leuchteinrichtung 4 mehrere derartige Platinen 10 anzuordnen, vorzugsweise in der Längsrichtung hintereinander.The respective lighting device 4 has a straight and elongated support rail 7 and is secured by means of at least one holder 8 about a pivot axis 9 pivotally mounted on the equipment carrier 3. The pivot axis 9 extends parallel to the longitudinal axes of the lamp 1, the support section 2, the device carrier 3 and the lighting device 4. In this case, the pivot axis 9 extends between the equipment carrier 3 and the lighting device 4 through the holder 8 therethrough. The respective lighting device 4 has at least one electrical illuminant 10 on a front side of the associated support rail 7 facing away from the device support 3. In the preferred embodiments shown here, the respective luminous means 10 is formed by a printed circuit board, which is also referred to below as 10 and which carries a multiplicity of LEDs 11. The LEDs 11 are preferably arranged along a rectilinear row on the circuit board 10. In principle, the lighting device 4 can be equipped with a single such board 10. It is also possible at the lighting device 4 to arrange several such boards 10, preferably in the longitudinal direction one behind the other.

Obwohl bei den hier gezeigten Ausführungsformen nur eine einzige Halterung 8 zum Halten der jeweiligen Leuchteinrichtung 4 am Geräteträger 3 erkennbar ist, werden zweckmäßig zumindest zwei derartigen Halterungen 8 verwendet, um die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung 4 verschwenkbar am Geräteträger 3 anzuordnen. Nachfolgend wird mit Bezug auf die Figuren 2 bis 8 der Aufbau einer derartigen Halterung 8 näher erläutert.Although only a single holder 8 for holding the respective lighting device 4 on the equipment carrier 3 can be seen in the embodiments shown here, at least two such holders 8 are expediently used to pivot the respective lighting device 4 on the equipment carrier 3. Hereinafter, referring to the FIGS. 2 to 8 the structure of such a holder 8 explained in more detail.

Dementsprechend umfasst zumindest eine solche Halterung 8 wenigstens ein erstes Halteteil 12, das an einer Rückseite der jeweiligen Tragschiene 7 befestigt ist. Bevorzugt umfasst die Halterung 8 je Tragschiene 7 zwei derartige erste Halteteile 12. Ferner besitzt die jeweilige Halterung 8 ein zweites Halteteil 13, an dem das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 um die Schwenkachse 9 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Halterung 8 besitzt ein in Figur 4 erkennbares drittes Halteteil 14, das am zweiten Halteteil 13 angeordnet ist und das elektrische Steckkontakte 15 aufweist, die durch das zweite Halteteil 13 hindurch mit der jeweiligen Platine 10 elektrisch verbunden sind. Sofern die Leuchteinrichtung 4 mehrere Platinen 10 aufweist, sind diese untereinander elektrisch verbunden, so dass letztlich nur eine Platine 10 mit den Steckkontakten 15 des dritten Halteteils 14 verbunden werden muss. Diese Verbindung erfolgt dabei zweckmäßig über elektrische Kabel 16, die zumindest in Figur 4 angedeutet sind.Accordingly, at least one such holder 8 comprises at least one first holding part 12, which is fastened to a rear side of the respective support rail 7. Preferably, the holder 8 per support rail 7 comprises two such first holding parts 12. Further, the respective holder 8 has a second holding part 13, on which the respective first holding part 12 is pivotally mounted about the pivot axis 9. The holder 8 has an in FIG. 4 recognizable third holding part 14 which is arranged on the second holding part 13 and the electrical plug contacts 15 which are electrically connected through the second holding part 13 with the respective board 10. If the lighting device 4 has a plurality of circuit boards 10, these are electrically connected to each other, so that ultimately only one board 10 must be connected to the plug contacts 15 of the third holding part 14. This connection takes place expediently via electrical cable 16, at least in FIG. 4 are indicated.

Die jeweilige Halterung 8 weist gemäß den Figuren 2, 3, 5 und 6 außerdem ein viertes Halteteil 17 auf, das am Geräteträger 3 befestigt ist und das am zweiten Halteteil 13 befestigt ist. Das vierte Halteteil 17 weist gemäß Figur 3 elektrische Gegensteckkontakte 18 auf, die komplementär zu den Steckkontakten 15 des dritten Halteteils 14 ausgestaltet sind und die im montierten Zustand mit diesen Steckkontakten 15 kontaktiert sind. Entsprechend Figur 5 sind die Gegensteckkontakte 18 des vierten Halteteils 17 zum Beispiel über Kabel 19 mit einer Stromversorgung 20 elektrisch verbunden, die hier durch eine Leistungselektronik gebildet ist, die zum Betreiben der Platinen 10 bzw. der LEDs 11 dient und die im Folgenden ebenfalls mit 20 bezeichnet wird.The respective holder 8 has according to the Figures 2 . 3 . 5 and 6 In addition, a fourth holding part 17 which is fixed to the equipment carrier 3 and which is secured to the second holding part 13. The fourth holding part 17 has according to FIG. 3 electrical mating plug contacts 18, which are designed to be complementary to the plug contacts 15 of the third holding part 14 and in the assembled state with these Plug contacts 15 are contacted. Corresponding FIG. 5 For example, the mating plug contacts 18 of the fourth holding part 17 are electrically connected to a power supply 20 via cable 19, which is formed here by power electronics which serve for operating the boards 10 or the LEDs 11 and which is also designated 20 below.

Das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 ist über eine Verrastung 21 am zweiten Halteteil 13 gehalten, wobei die Verrastung 21 eine Schwenkverstellung um die Schwenkachse 9 zwischen dem ersten Halteteil 12 und dem zweiten Halteteil 13 um mehrere Raststufen ermöglicht. Dabei ist jeder Raststufe ein vorbestimmter Schwenkwinkel zwischen der Leuchteinrichtung 4 und dem Geräteträger 3 zugeordnet. Wie sich insbesondere den Figuren 7 und 8 entnehmen lässt, weist das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 einen Ring 22 auf, der an seinem Innenumfang eine Innenverzahnung 23 aufweist. Das zweite Halteteil 13 besitzt gemäß den Figuren 4 und 7 für das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 jeweils einen Zapfen 24, auf den der jeweilige Ring 22 axial aufgesteckt und damit verrastet ist. Der jeweilige Zapfen 24 besitzt dabei an seinem Außenumfang eine Außenverzahnung 25, die mit der jeweiligen Innenverzahnung 23 zum Ausbilden der Raststufen zusammenwirkt. Im Beispiel besitzt die Innenverzahnung 23 des Rings 22 mehrere nach innen vorstehende Innenzähne. Die Außenverzahnung 25 besitzt für jede Drehrichtung zumindest einen Außenzahn. Zweckmäßig werden für jede Drehrichtung zumindest drei oder vier verschiedene, vorgegebene Raststellungen bzw. Schwenkwinkel definiert. Beispielsweise ist in einem Ausgangszustand ein Schwenkwinkel von 0° eingestellt, in dem die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung 4 im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Geräteträger 3 abstrahlt. Ausgehend von dieser Ausgangslage sind für jede Drehrichtung beispielsweise Schwenkwinkel von 15°, 30° und 45° einstellbar. Insgesamt ergeben sich dadurch sieben Raststufen.The respective first holding part 12 is held on the second holding part 13 via a catch 21, the catch 21 permitting pivotal adjustment about the pivot axis 9 between the first holding part 12 and the second holding part 13 by a plurality of latching steps. In this case, each latching step is associated with a predetermined pivoting angle between the lighting device 4 and the device carrier 3. How in particular the FIGS. 7 and 8th can be seen, the respective first holding part 12 has a ring 22 which has an internal toothing 23 on its inner circumference. The second holding part 13 has according to the FIGS. 4 and 7 for the respective first holding part 12 each have a pin 24, on which the respective ring 22 is plugged axially and thus locked. The respective pin 24 has on its outer periphery an external toothing 25 which cooperates with the respective internal toothing 23 for forming the latching steps. In the example, the internal teeth 23 of the ring 22 has a plurality of inwardly projecting internal teeth. The external toothing 25 has at least one external tooth for each direction of rotation. At least three or four different, predetermined locking positions or pivoting angles are expediently defined for each direction of rotation. For example, in an initial state, a pivoting angle of 0 ° is set, in which the respective lighting device 4 radiates substantially perpendicular to the device carrier 3. Starting from this initial position, for example, pivoting angles of 15 °, 30 ° and 45 ° are adjustable for each direction of rotation. Overall, this results in seven click stops.

Wie sich insbesondere Figur 8 entnehmen lässt, kann der jeweilige Ring 22 an einer von der Tragschiene 7 abgewandten Seite einen Federbereich 26 aufweisen, der hier als U-förmige Bügelfeder ausgestaltet ist. Der Federbereich 26 ist so ausgestaltet, dass er gegen eine Rückstellkraft eine elastische Aufweitung des Rings 22 zulässt. Beispielsweise kann sich der Ring 22 dabei so aufweiten, dass sein Umfang zunimmt. Hierdurch wird der Kraftschluss zwischen der Innenverzahnung 23 und der Außenverzahnung 25 entlastet, wodurch ein Verschwenken zwischen der Leuchteinrichtung 4 und dem Geräteträger 3 vereinfacht ist. Die Rückstellkraft des Federbereichs 26 bewirkt dabei jedoch, dass die jeweilige Schwenkstellung hinreichend sicher aufrecht erhalten wird, so dass ein selbsttätiges Verschwenken der Leuchteinrichtung 4 relativ zum Geräteträger 3 weitgehend vermieden werden kann.How, in particular FIG. 8 can be removed, the respective ring 22 may have on a side remote from the support rail 7 side a spring portion 26 which is designed here as a U-shaped bow spring. The spring portion 26 is designed such that it allows an elastic expansion of the ring 22 against a restoring force. For example, the ring 22 can expand so that its circumference increases. As a result, the frictional connection between the inner toothing 23 and the outer toothing 25 is relieved, whereby a pivoting between the lighting device 4 and the device carrier 3 is simplified. The restoring force of the spring region 26, however, causes the respective pivoting position to be maintained sufficiently reliably, so that an automatic pivoting of the lighting device 4 relative to the device carrier 3 can be largely avoided.

Wie sich insbesondere den Figuren 4 und 7 entnehmen lässt, kann die Tragschiene 7 an ihrer dem Geräteträger 3 zugewandten Rückseite eine Axialführung 27 aufweisen, in die das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 gemäß einem in Figur 7 angedeuteten Pfeil 28 jeweils mit einem Fuß 29 in die Tragschiene 7 einsteckbar ist. Der jeweilige Fuß 29 kann dabei gemäß den Figuren 7 und 8 seitlich abstehende Vorsprünge 30 aufweisen, die jeweils in eine seitliche Längsnut 31 der Tragschiene 7 eingreifen. Die Axialführung 27 wirkt dadurch an jeder Seite des jeweiligen ersten Halteteils 12 nach Art einer Nut-Feder-Führung. Die Axialführung 27 sorgt außerdem dafür, dass das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 an der Tragschiene 7 quer zu deren Längsrichtung an der Tragschiene 7 festgehalten ist. Wie sich den Figuren 4 und 7 entnehmen lässt, kann das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 im Bereich des Fußes 29 eine Durchgangsöffnung 32 aufweisen, durch die ein stiftförmiges Befestigungselement zum Festlegen des jeweiligen ersten Halteteils 12 an der Tragschiene 7 durchführbar ist. Beispielsweise kann das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12 mit der Tragschiene 7 verschraubt oder verstiftet werden.How in particular the FIGS. 4 and 7 can be removed, the support rail 7 on its the device carrier 3 facing the back of an axial guide 27, into which the respective first holding part 12 according to a in FIG. 7 indicated arrow 28 each with a foot 29 in the mounting rail 7 can be inserted. The respective foot 29 can according to the FIGS. 7 and 8th have laterally projecting projections 30 which engage in each case in a lateral longitudinal groove 31 of the support rail 7. The axial guide 27 thereby acts on each side of the respective first holding part 12 in the manner of a tongue and groove guide. The axial guide 27 also ensures that the respective first holding part 12 is held on the support rail 7 transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support rail 7. How the FIGS. 4 and 7 can be, the respective first holding part 12 in the region of the foot 29 have a through hole 32 through which a pin-shaped fastening element for fixing the respective first holding part 12 to the support rail 7 can be performed. For example, the respective first holding part 12 can be screwed or pinned to the mounting rail 7.

Die in Figur 4 erkennbaren Kabel 16, die zur jeweiligen Platine 10 führen, sind in üblicher Weise mit Hilfe eines elektrischen Leiters gebildet, zum Beispiel ein Kupferdraht, der in üblicher Weise von einem elektrischen Isolator aus Kunststoff umhüllt ist. Die Kabel 16 sind hier durch den Zapfen 24 hindurchgeführt und in das Innere des zweiten Halteteils 13 hineingeführt. Dabei werden die Kabel 16 im zweiten Halteteil 13 in einem Kontaktbereich 33 positioniert, wobei entsprechende Positioniermittel zum Einsatz kommen. Derartige Positioniermittel sind beispielsweise integral am zweiten Halteteil 13 ausgeformte Klemmen. Die Steckkontakte 15 des dritten Halteteils 14 enthalten metallische Kontaktelemente. Diese können nun jeweils an ihrem dem zweiten Halteteil 13 zugewandten Ende als Schneidkontakt ausgestaltet sein. Beim Anbringen des dritten Halteteils 14 am zweiten Halteteil 13 kann der jeweilige Schneidkontakt im zuvor genannten Kontaktbereich 33 die jeweilige Isolation des jeweiligen Kabels 16 durchdringen und unmittelbar den jeweiligen elektrischen Leiter des Kabels 16 kontaktieren. Auf ein separates Abisolieren des jeweiligen Leiters 16 kann somit verzichtet werden. Zweckmäßig kann dabei das dritte Halteteil 14 mit dem zweiten Halteteil 13 verrasten. Durch Einsetzen des dritten Halteteils 14 in das zweite Halteteil 13 werden somit die von der Leuchteinrichtung 4 kommenden Kabel 16 automatisch mit den Steckkontakten 15 des dritten Halteteils 14 elektrisch verbunden. Die Verrastung bewirkt dabei eine sichere Fixierung des dritten Halteteils 14 am zweiten Halteteil 13.In the FIG. 4 recognizable cables 16 which lead to the respective board 10 are formed in the usual way by means of an electrical conductor, for example a copper wire, which is enveloped in the usual way by an electrical insulator made of plastic. The cables 16 are here passed through the pin 24 and guided into the interior of the second holding part 13. In this case, the cables 16 are positioned in the second holding part 13 in a contact region 33, wherein corresponding positioning means are used. Such positioning means are, for example, integrally formed on the second holding part 13 terminals. The plug contacts 15 of the third holding part 14 contain metallic contact elements. These can now be configured in each case at its second holding part 13 end facing as a cutting contact. When attaching the third holding part 14 on the second holding part 13 of the respective cutting contact in the aforementioned contact area 33 can penetrate the respective insulation of the respective cable 16 and directly contact the respective electrical conductor of the cable 16. On a separate stripping of the respective conductor 16 can thus be dispensed with. Expediently, the third holding part 14 can latch with the second holding part 13. By inserting the third holding part 14 into the second holding part 13, the cables 16 coming from the lighting device 4 are thus automatically electrically connected to the plug contacts 15 of the third holding part 14. The latching causes a secure fixation of the third holding part 14 on the second holding part 13.

Auch zwischen dem vierten Halteteil 17 und dem zweiten Halteteil 13 ist eine Verrastung vorgesehen. In den Figuren 2 und 3 sind entsprechende, am vierten Halteteil 17 ausgebildete Rasthaken 34 erkennbar, die mit am zweiten Halteteil 13 ausgebildeten Rastöffnungen 35 zusammenwirken. Wie sich insbesondere Figur 4 entnehmen lässt, ist das dritte Halteteil 14 nahezu vollständig in das zweite Halteteil 13 eingesetzt. Hierdurch ist das dritte Halteteil 14 in einer in Figur 3 durch einen Pfeil angedeuteten Befestigungsrichtung 36 zwischen dem zweiten Halteteil 13 und dem vierten Halteteil 17 angeordnet. Die mit Hilfe der Rasthaken 34 und der Rastöffnungen 35 realisierte Verrastung zwischen dem vierten Halteteil 17 und dem zweiten Halteteil 13 ist dabei so konfiguriert, dass die Rasthaken 34 jeweils eine im dritten Halteteil 14 ausgebildete, in Figur 4 erkennbare Durchgangsöffnung 37 durchsetzen, um mit der zugehörigen Rastöffnung 35 des zweiten Halteteils 13 zu verrasten. Im Bereich des zweiten Halteteils 13 ergibt sich durch das darin eingesetzte, komplementär geformte dritte Halteteil 14 eine intensive Aussteifung des zweiten Halteteils 13, wodurch auch die Verrastung eine erhöhte Festigkeit erhält.Also between the fourth holding part 17 and the second holding part 13, a locking is provided. In the Figures 2 and 3 are corresponding, formed on the fourth holding part 17 latch hook 34 recognizable, which cooperate with the second holding part 13 formed locking openings 35. How, in particular FIG. 4 can be seen, the third holding part 14 is almost completely inserted into the second holding part 13. As a result, the third holding part 14 in an in FIG. 3 indicated by an arrow fastening direction 36 between the second holding part 13 and the fourth holding part 17 is arranged. The latching between the fourth holding part 17 and the second holding part 13 realized with the aid of the latching hooks 34 and the latching openings 35 is configured so that the latching hooks 34 each have a latching hook formed in the third holding part 14 FIG. 4 recognizable through opening 37 enforce to lock with the associated latching opening 35 of the second holding part 13. In the region of the second holding part 13 results from the inserted therein, complementarily shaped third holding part 14 an intensive stiffening of the second holding part 13, whereby the latch receives increased strength.

Wie sich insbesondere den Figuren 3, 5 und 6 entnehmen lässt, ist auch das vierte Halteteil 17 zweckmäßig mit dem Geräteträger 3 verrastet. Hierzu kann das vierte Halteteil 17 eine an einer vom Tragprofil 2 abgewandten Vorderseite 38 des Geräteträgers 3 anliegende Platte 39 aufweisen. Von dieser Platte 39 geht ein Steckbereich 40 aus, der die Gegensteckkontakte 18 aufweist. Der Steckbereich 40 ragt im montierten Zustand durch eine Stecköffnung 41 des Geräteträgers 3 hindurch. Am Steckbereich 40 sind an zwei voneinander abgewandten Seiten je ein Rastelement 42 ausgebildet, die mit der Stecköffnung 41 verrasten. Gemäß den Figuren 5 und 6 ist an der Platte 39 außerdem beabstandet zum Steckbereich 40 zumindest eine Rastnase 43 ausgebildet, die gemäß Figur 5 eine Rastöffnung 44 des Geräteträgers 3 durchdringt und damit verrastet. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine intensive Anbindung des vierten Halteteils 17 am Geräteträger 3. Wie sich Figur 5 entnehmen lässt, sind die Gegensteckkontakte 18 des vierten Halteteils 17 im Steckbereich 40 durch den Geräteträger 3 hindurchgeführt, wodurch sie an einer dem Tragprofil zugewandten Rückseite 45 des Geräteträgers 3 über die zuvor genannten Kabel 19 mit der Leistungselektronik 20 elektrisch verbunden sind. Zweckmäßig können die Gegensteckkontakte 18 hierzu metallische Kontaktelemente aufweisen, die an einem vom dritten Halteteil 14 abgewandten Ende als Steckverbinder 46 ausgestaltet sein können, in welche abisolierte Enden der Kabel 19 einfach einsteckbar sind, um die darin verlaufenden Leiter mit den Gegensteckkontakten 18 elektrisch zu verbinden. Beim Stecken der Steckkontakte 15 mit den Gegensteckkontakten 18 wirken die zugehörigen Kontaktelemente wie elektrische Steckverbinder.How in particular the Figures 3 . 5 and 6 can be removed, the fourth holding member 17 is suitably locked to the device carrier 3. For this purpose, the fourth holding part 17 may have a plate 39 which adjoins a front side 38 of the equipment carrier 3 facing away from the supporting profile 2. From this plate 39 is a plug-in area 40, which has the mating plug contacts 18. The plug-in area 40 protrudes through a plug-in opening 41 of the device carrier 3 in the mounted state. At the plug-in area 40, a latching element 42 is formed on each of two sides facing away from each other, which engage with the plug-in opening 41. According to the Figures 5 and 6 is at the plate 39 also spaced from the plug portion 40 at least one locking lug 43 is formed according to FIG. 5 a detent opening 44 of the device carrier 3 penetrates and thus locked. This results in an intensive connection of the fourth holding part 17 on the equipment carrier 3rd As itself FIG. 5 can be seen, the mating plug contacts 18 of the fourth holding member 17 are passed through the device carrier 3 in the plug-in region 40, whereby they are electrically connected to the support profile facing back 45 of the device carrier 3 via the aforementioned cable 19 with the power electronics 20. Appropriately, the mating plug contacts 18 can for this purpose have metallic contact elements which can be configured at a side remote from the third holding part 14 end as a connector 46, in which stripped Ends of the cables 19 are simply plugged in to electrically connect the conductors running therein with the mating plug contacts 18. When plugging the plug contacts 15 with the mating plug contacts 18, the associated contact elements act like electrical connectors.

Das jeweilige erste Halteteil 12, das zweite Halteteil 13, das dritte Halteteil 14 und das vierte Halteteil 17 sind jeweils Kunststoffteile, die durch Spritzformen besonders preiswert in hoher Stückzahl hergestellt werden können. Um im dritten Halteteil 14 die Steckkontakte auszubilden, sind entsprechende elektrische Kontaktelemente eingebaut. Zum Ausbilden der Gegensteckkontakte 18 sind ebenfalls entsprechende elektrische Kontaktelemente in das vierte Halteteil 17 eingebaut. Das vierte Halteteil 17 kann gemäß Figur 6 einen Grundkörper 47 aufweisen, auf das ein separater Verschlusskörper 48 aufgesetzt ist. Bei fehlendem Verschlusskörper 48 lassen sich die elektrischen Kontaktelemente in den Steckbereich 40 einsetzen, um die Gegensteckkontakte 18 zu bilden. Durch Anbringen des Verschlusskörpers 48 werden die eingesetzten Kontaktelemente dann gesichert.The respective first holding part 12, the second holding part 13, the third holding part 14 and the fourth holding part 17 are each plastic parts, which can be produced by injection molding particularly inexpensive in large quantities. In order to form the plug-in contacts in the third holding part 14, corresponding electrical contact elements are installed. To form the mating plug contacts 18, corresponding electrical contact elements are likewise installed in the fourth holding part 17. The fourth holding part 17 can according to FIG. 6 a base body 47, on which a separate closure body 48 is placed. If the closure body 48 is missing, the electrical contact elements can be inserted into the plug-in region 40 in order to form the mating plug-in contacts 18. By attaching the closure body 48, the contact elements used are then secured.

Sofern zwei Halterungen 8 verwendet werden, um die jeweilige Leuchteinrichtung 4 am Geräteträger 3 zu befestigen, reicht es grundsätzlich aus, nur eine dieser Halterungen 8 so auszugestalten, dass eine elektrische Verbindung der jeweiligen Leuchteinrichtung 4 durch die Halterung 8 hindurch erfolgen kann. Zweckmäßig kann dann vorgesehen sein, nur eine der Halterungen 8 mit den besagten elektrischen Kontaktelementen auszustatten. Die andere Halterung 8 kann dann grundsätzlich baugleich ausgestaltet sein, wobei lediglich die elektrischen Kontaktelemente fehlen.If two holders 8 are used to fix the respective lighting device 4 on the equipment carrier 3, it is basically sufficient to design only one of these holders 8 in such a way that an electrical connection of the respective lighting device 4 through the holder 8 can take place. It may then be expedient to provide only one of the holders 8 with the said electrical contact elements. The other holder 8 can then be designed basically identical, with only the electrical contact elements are missing.

Wie sich Figur 9 entnehmen lässt, kann bei einer zweiflammigen Leuchte 1 vorgesehen sein, dass mit Hilfe derselben Halterung 8 zwei Leuchteinrichtungen 4 um separate, jedoch zueinander parallele Schwenkachsen 9 schwenkbar am Geräteträger 3 befestigt werden können. Die jeweilige Halterung 8 weist dann für die beiden Leuchteinrichtungen 4 jeweils zumindest ein separates erstes Halteteil 12, ein gemeinsames zweites Halteteil 13, ein gemeinsames drittes Halteteil 14 und ein gemeinsames viertes Halteteil 17 auf.Like yourself FIG. 9 can be seen in a two-lamp lamp 1 may be provided that with the help of the same holder 8 two lighting devices 4 to separate, but mutually parallel pivot axes 9 pivotally mounted on the equipment carrier 3 can be attached. The respective holder 8 then has at least one separate first holding part 12, a common second holding part 13, a common third holding part 14 and a common fourth holding part 17 for the two lighting devices 4.
