Dabei ist das wenigstens eine Halteelement gegenüber dem Basiselement derart beweglich angeordnet, dass es zwischen einer Montageposition und einer Halteposition hin- und her bewegt werden kann, wobei der Einbauring in die Einbauöffnung hinein bewegt werden kann, wenn sich das wenigstens eine Halteelement in der Montageposition befindet und wobei der Einbauring in der Einbauöffnung gehalten ist, wenn sich das Basiselement wie vorgesehen in der Einbauöffnung positioniert befindet und sich das wenigstens eine Halteelement in der Halteposition befindet. Der Einbauring ist dabei derart gestaltet, dass das wenigstens eine Halteelement derart beweglich an dem Basiselement angeordnet ist, dass es ohne eine Formveränderung des Basiselements und/oder des wenigstens einen Halteelements nicht von dem Basiselement getrennt werden kann.According to the invention, a recessed ring for installing a recessed luminaire in a recess formed in a ceiling or wall element is provided, which has an annular base element with a flange area for bearing against the ceiling or Has wall element. Furthermore, the installation ring has at least one holding element for holding the base element in the installation opening. The at least one holding element is arranged such that it can move relative to the base element such that it can be moved back and forth between an assembly position and a holding position, the installation ring being able to be moved into the installation opening when the at least one holding element is in the assembly position and wherein the mounting ring is held in the mounting opening when the base element is positioned as intended in the mounting opening and the at least one holding element is in the holding position. The mounting ring is designed in such a way that the at least one holding element is movably arranged on the base element such that it cannot be separated from the base element without changing the shape of the base element and / or the at least one holding element.

Hierdurch lässt sich bei insgesamt einfacher Gestaltungsmöglichkeit die Gefahr verringern, dass sich das wenigstens eine Halteelement ungewollt von dem Basiselement löst. Dadurch ist die Handhabung des Einbaurings erleichtert.As a result, the risk that the at least one holding element unintentionally detaches from the base element can be reduced with an overall simple design option. This makes handling the mounting ring easier.

Vorzugsweise ist der Einbauring dabei derart gestaltet, dass das wenigstens eine Halteelement durch eine, vorzugsweise manuell erzeugbare, Formveränderung des Basiselements und/oder des wenigstens einen Halteelements von dem Basiselement vollständig und reversibel getrennt werden kann. Hierdurch ist der Zusammenbau des Einbaurings erleichtert. Zudem lässt sich beispielsweise ein defektes Halteelement besonders leicht austauschen.The mounting ring is preferably designed in such a way that the at least one holding element can be completely and reversibly separated from the base element by a, preferably manually generated, change in shape of the base element and / or of the at least one holding element. This simplifies the assembly of the mounting ring. In addition, a defective holding element, for example, can be exchanged particularly easily.

Vorteilhaft bestehen das Basiselement und/oder das wenigstens eine Halteelement aus Kunststoff. Hierdurch sind bei einfacher Herstellung besonders geeignete mechanische Eigenschaften erzielbar.The base element and / or the at least one holding element are advantageously made of plastic. As a result, particularly suitable mechanical properties can be achieved with simple manufacture.

Vorzugsweise besteht das Halteelement aus einem einzigen Stück bzw. bestehen gegebenenfalls die Halteelemente jeweils aus einem einzigen Stück. Hierdurch lässt sich der Einbauring mit besonders wenigen Einzelteilen gestalten. Dies ist vorteilhaft mit Bezug auf die Herstellung und die Handhabung.The holding element preferably consists of a single piece or, if appropriate, the holding elements each consist of a single piece. This allows the mounting ring to be designed with very few individual parts. This is advantageous in terms of manufacture and handling.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das wenigstens eine Halteelement zur beweglichen Anordnung an dem Basiselement erste Führungselemente auf und das Basiselement zweite Führungselemente, die mit den ersten Führungselementen derart wechselwirken, dass das wenigstens eine Halteelement geführt beweglich an dem Basiselement angeordnet ist. Hierdurch ist herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft eine besonders sichere Funktionsweise des Einbaurings ermöglicht.According to the invention, the at least one holding element for movable arrangement on the base element has first guide elements and the base element has second guide elements which interact with the first guide elements in such a way that the at least one holding element is movably arranged on the base element. This enables a particularly safe functioning of the mounting ring in terms of manufacturing technology.

Dabei umfassen die ersten Führungselemente und die zweiten Führungselemente erfindungsgemäß einen Führungszapfen sowie eine Führungsfläche zur Führung des Führungszapfens. Hierdurch ist eine sichere und dabei einfach herzustellende Führung ermöglicht. Besonders bevorzugt umfassen dabei die ersten Führungselemente und die zweiten Führungselemente außerdem einen weiteren Führungszapfen und eine weitere Führungsfläche zur Führung des weiteren Führungszapfens, wobei der zuerst genannte Führungszapfen und der weitere Führungszapfen derart gestaltet sind, dass sie mit ihren freien Enden aufeinander zu oder voneinander weg weisen. Hierdurch ist eine besonders zuverlässige Führung ermöglicht.According to the invention, the first guide elements and the second guide elements comprise a guide pin and a guide surface for guiding the guide pin. This enables safe and easy to manufacture guidance. Particularly preferably, the first guide elements and the second guide elements also comprise a further guide pin and a further guide surface for guiding the further guide pin, the first-mentioned guide pin and the further guide pin being designed such that their free ends point towards or away from one another . This enables particularly reliable guidance.

Besonders handhabungsfreundlich ist das wenigstens eine Halteelement über eine Rastverbindung mit dem Basiselement verbunden. Hierdurch sind insbesondere die Handhabung und auch der Zusammenbau des Einbaurings erleichtert.The at least one holding element is connected to the base element via a snap-in connection in a particularly easy-to-use manner. This particularly facilitates the handling and also the assembly of the mounting ring.

Ein besonders sicherer Halt in der Einbauöffnung lässt sich erzielen, wenn ein, auf das wenigstens eine Halteelement wirkender, reversibel lösbarer Feststellmechanismus vorgesehen ist, über den das wenigstens eine Halteelement in der Halteposition gehalten werden kann.A particularly secure hold in the installation opening can be achieved if a reversibly releasable locking mechanism is provided which acts on the at least one holding element and by means of which the at least one holding element can be held in the holding position.

Dabei weist das wenigstens eine Halteelement vorzugsweise ein Löseelement auf, wobei der Einbauring derart gestaltet ist, dass bei einer Betätigung des Löseelements der Feststellmechanismus gelöst wird. Hierdurch lässt sich das Halteelement besonders einfach wieder aus der Halteposition lösen, zum Beispiel um den Einbauring wieder aus der Einbauöffnung zu demontieren.The at least one holding element preferably has a release element, the mounting ring being designed such that the locking mechanism is released when the release element is actuated. As a result, the holding element can be released from the holding position in a particularly simple manner, for example in order to remove the installation ring from the installation opening again.

Ein besonders zuverlässiger Halt in der Einbauöffnung bei insgesamt einfacher Ausführung ist ermöglicht, wenn der Einbauring wenigstens zwei Halteelemente aufweist, vorzugsweise wenigstens drei Halteelemente aufweist.A particularly reliable hold in the installation opening with an overall simple design is made possible if the installation ring has at least two holding elements, preferably has at least three holding elements.

Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung ist eine Einbauleuchte, insbesondere eine Deckeneinbauleuchte, vorgesehen, die einen erfindungsgemäßen Einbauring aufweist.According to a further aspect of the invention, a recessed luminaire, in particular a recessed ceiling luminaire, is provided which has an installation ring according to the invention.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und mit Bezug auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Skizze einer Einbauleuchte gemäß der Erfindung. Die Einbauleuchte umfasst einen erfindungsgemäßen Einbauring 1, der in Fig. 2 in separierter Form skizziert dargestellt ist. Der Einbauring 1 dient zum Einbau der Einbauleuchte in einer Einbauöffnung; wie in Fig. 3 in einer geschnittenen perspektivischen Skizze angedeutet, ist dabei die Einbauöffnung in einem Decken- oder Wandelement D ausgebildet. Fig. 1 shows a perspective sketch of a recessed light according to the invention. The built-in lamp comprises a built-in ring 1 according to the invention, which in Fig. 2 is outlined in a separate form. The mounting ring 1 is used to install the recessed light in an installation opening; as in Fig. 3 indicated in a cut perspective sketch, the installation opening is formed in a ceiling or wall element D.

In der vorliegenden Beschreibung wird davon ausgegangen, dass es sich bei dem Decken- oder Wandelement um ein horizontal orientiertes Element handelt, so dass durch die Einbauöffnung eine horizontale Ebene festgelegt ist und dass sich die Einbauleuchte im eingebauten Zustand überwiegend oberhalb der horizontalen Ebene befindet, so wie bei einer Deckeneinbauleuchte der Fall. Allerdings eignet sich der Einbauring grundsätzlich auch für eine andersartige Orientierung, beispielsweise zum Einbau in ein vertikales Wandelement. In einem solchen Fall sind die vorliegenden Richtungsangaben etc. entsprechend umzudeuten.In the present description it is assumed that the ceiling or wall element is a horizontally oriented element, so that a horizontal plane is defined by the installation opening and that the built-in lamp is predominantly above the horizontal plane when installed like the case with a recessed ceiling light. However, the mounting ring is generally also suitable for a different orientation, for example for installation in a vertical wall element. In such a case, the present directions etc. have to be reinterpreted accordingly.

Der Einbauring 1 umfasst ein ringförmiges Basiselement 3 mit einem Flanschbereich 4, der zur Anlage von unten an das Decken- oder Wandelement D vorgesehen ist.The mounting ring 1 comprises an annular base element 3 with a flange area 4, which is provided for contacting the ceiling or wall element D from below.

Weiterhin umfasst der Einbauring 1 wenigstens ein Halteelement 5 zum Halten des Basiselements 3 in der Einbauöffnung. Das wenigstens eine Halteelement 5 ist dabei insbesondere dazu vorgesehen, den Einbauring 1 in Verbindung mit dem Flanschbereich 4 in der Einbauöffnung zu halten. Insbesondere kann hierzu der Flanschbereich 4 dafür vorgesehen sein, gegen einen, zu einer Außenseite der Einbauöffnung hin weisenden Randbereich der Einbauöffnung in Anlage gebracht zu werden, hier also "von unten" und das wenigstens eine Halteelement 5 gegen einen, zu einer Innenseite der Einbauöffnung hin weisenden Randbereich der Einbauöffnung in Anlage gebracht zu werden, hier also von oben, so dass durch Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Flanschbereich 4 und dem wenigstens einen Halteelement 5 der Einbauring 1 bzw. die Einbauleuchte in der Einbauöffnung gehalten ist.Furthermore, the installation ring 1 comprises at least one holding element 5 for holding the base element 3 in the installation opening. The at least one holding element 5 is provided in particular to hold the mounting ring 1 in connection with the flange area 4 in the mounting opening. In particular, the flange area 4 can be provided for this purpose in order to be brought into abutment against an edge area of the installation opening which points towards an outside of the installation opening, in this case "from below", and the at least one holding element 5 against an inside of the installation opening to be brought into contact with the edge region of the installation opening, in this case from above, so that by interaction between the flange region 4 and the at least one holding element 5, the installation ring 1 or the installation light is held in the installation opening.

Bei der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Ausführung weist der Einbauring 1 insgesamt genau drei Halteelemente 5 auf. Es können aber auch beispielsweise lediglich zwei Halteelemente 5 oder vier Halteelemente 5 vorgesehen sein oder eine noch andere Anzahl von Halteelementen 5. Grundsätzlich ist mindestens ein Halteelement 5 vorgesehen, wobei wenigstens zwei Halteelemente 5 bevorzugt sind. Wenn der Einbauring 1 bzw. das Basiselement 3 einen Durchmesser von etwa 200 mm oder größer aufweist, sind wenigstens drei Halteelemente 5 bevorzugt.At the in Fig. 2 In the embodiment shown, the mounting ring 1 has a total of exactly three holding elements 5. However, only two holding elements can also be used, for example 5 or four holding elements 5 may be provided or a still different number of holding elements 5. Basically at least one holding element 5 is provided, at least two holding elements 5 being preferred. If the mounting ring 1 or the base element 3 has a diameter of approximately 200 mm or larger, at least three holding elements 5 are preferred.

Herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft sind im Fall von wenigstens zwei Halteelementen 5 alle Halteelemente 5 des Einbaurings 3 baugleich ausgeführt und ebenso die Verbindungsbereiche, die für die Verbindungen zu den Halteelementen 5 am Basiselement 3 ausgebildet sind. In diesem Sinn ist im Folgenden der Einfachheit halber die Beschreibung mit Bezug auf das wenigstens eine Halteelement 5 und dessen Verbindung zum Basiselement 3 lediglich auf "das" Halteelement 5 bzw. "den" Verbindungsbereich gerichtet.In terms of manufacturing technology, in the case of at least two holding elements 5, all holding elements 5 of the mounting ring 3 are constructed identically and likewise the connection areas which are designed for the connections to the holding elements 5 on the base element 3. In this sense, for the sake of simplicity, the description below with reference to the at least one holding element 5 and its connection to the base element 3 is directed only to "the" holding element 5 or "the" connection area.

Das Halteelement 5 ist gegenüber dem Basiselement 3 derart beweglich angeordnet, dass es - wie in Fig. 3 angedeutet - zwischen einer Montageposition M und einer Halteposition H hin- und her bewegt werden kann. Wenn sich das Halteelement 5 (bzw. jedes der Halteelemente 5) in der Montageposition M befindet, kann der Einbauring 1 von der Außenseite her bzw. von unten kommend in die Einbauöffnung hinein bewegt werden, bis sich das Basiselement 3 in der vorgesehenen Einbauposition befindet. Und wenn sich das Basiselement 3 wie vorgesehen in der Einbauöffnung positioniert befindet und sich das Halteelement 5 (bzw. jedes der Halteelemente 5) in der Halteposition H befindet, ist der Einbauring 1 in der Einbauöffnung gehalten.The holding element 5 is arranged such that it can move relative to the base element 3 such that it - as in FIG Fig. 3 indicated - can be moved back and forth between an assembly position M and a holding position H. When the holding element 5 (or each of the holding elements 5) is in the assembly position M , the installation ring 1 can be moved into the installation opening from the outside or from below until the base element 3 is in the intended installation position. And when the base element 3 is positioned as intended in the installation opening and the holding element 5 (or each of the holding elements 5) is in the holding position H , the installation ring 1 is held in the installation opening.

Dabei ist der Einbauring 1 so gestaltet, dass das Halteelement 5 derart beweglich an dem Basiselement 3 angeordnet ist, dass es ohne eine Formveränderung des Basiselements 3 und/oder des Halteelements 5 nicht von dem Basiselement 3 getrennt bzw. separiert werden kann. Mit Trennung bzw. Separierung sei dabei eine vollständige Trennung bezeichnet, also eine Trennung derart, dass - mit Bezug auf eine Ebene - das Halteelement 5 vollständig auf eine Seite der Ebene verbracht werden kann und das Basiselement 3 gleichzeitig vollständig auf die andere Seite der Ebene. Selbstverständlich ist in diesem Sinn auch eine Zerstörung zwangsläufig mit einer Formveränderung verbunden.The mounting ring 1 is designed in such a way that the holding element 5 is movably arranged on the base element 3 in such a way that it cannot be separated from the base element 3 without changing the shape of the base element 3 and / or the holding element 5. A separation is a complete separation, that is, a separation such that - with reference to one level - the holding element 5 can be moved completely to one side of the level and the base element 3 at the same time completely to the other side of the level. In this sense, of course, destruction is inevitably associated with a change in shape.

Durch die genannte Gestaltung lässt sich erzielen, dass die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Separierens des Halteelements 5 vom Basiselement 3 bzw. eines Verlierens des Halteelements 5 signifikant vermindert ist. Hierdurch ist insbesondere die Handhabung des Einbaurings 1, insbesondere bei der Anbringung des Einbaurings 1 in der Einbauöffnung erleichtert.The design mentioned means that the risk of inadvertent separation of the holding element 5 from the base element 3 or of losing the holding element 5 is significantly reduced. As a result, the handling of the mounting ring 1, in particular when mounting the mounting ring 1 in the mounting opening, is facilitated in particular.

Vorzugsweise ist der Einbauring 1 weiterhin derart gestaltet, dass das Halteelement 5 durch eine Formveränderung des Basiselements 3 und/oder des wenigstens einen Halteelements 5 von dem Basiselement 3 vollständig und reversibel getrennt werden kann.The mounting ring 1 is preferably also designed such that the holding element 5 can be completely and reversibly separated from the base element 3 by changing the shape of the base element 3 and / or the at least one holding element 5.

Hierdurch lässt sich das Halteelement 5 besonders einfach mit dem Basiselement 3 verbinden und somit der Einbauring 1 besonders einfach zusammenbauen. Wenn dabei die Formveränderung manuell erzeugbar ist, kann das Halteelement 5 ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Werkzeugs mit dem Basiselement 3 wie vorgesehen verbunden und auch wieder von Letzterem gelöst werden.As a result, the holding element 5 can be connected to the base element 3 in a particularly simple manner and thus the mounting ring 1 can be assembled particularly easily. If the change in shape can be generated manually, the holding element 5 can be connected to the base element 3 as intended without the aid of a tool and can also be detached from the latter.

Herstellungstechnisch besonders vorteilhaft besteht das Halteelement 5 und/oder das Basiselement 3 aus Kunststoff. Durch diese Materialwahl lassen sich die genannten Eigenschaften besonders gut erzielen. Dabei besteht das Halteelement 5 vorteilhaft aus lediglich einem Stück bzw. ist einstückig ausgebildet.The holding element 5 and / or the base element 3 are made of plastic, particularly advantageously in terms of production technology. The properties mentioned can be achieved particularly well by this choice of material. The holding element 5 advantageously consists of only one piece or is formed in one piece.

In Fig. 4 ist eine Variante bzw. eine Ausführung des Einbaurings 1 mit genau zwei Halteelementen 5 skizziert, wobei die Halteelemente 5 jeweils sowohl in der Montageposition M, als auch in der Halteposition H gegenüber dem Basiselement 3 skizziert sind.In Fig. 4 is a variant or an embodiment of the mounting ring 1 with exactly two holding elements 5, the holding elements 5 being sketched both in the mounting position M and in the holding position H relative to the base element 3.

In den Figuren 5 und 6 ist das Halteelement 5 separiert aus zwei unterschiedlichen Perspektiven skizziert. Zur beweglichen Anordnung an dem Basiselement 3 weist das Halteelement 5 erfindungsgemäß erste Führungselemente 6, 9 auf und das Basiselement 3 - in Fig. 4 bezeichnete - zweite Führungselemente 10, 13, die mit den ersten Führungselementen 6, 9 derart wechselwirken, dass hierdurch das Halteelement 5 geführt beweglich an dem Basiselement 3 angeordnet ist.In the Figures 5 and 6 the holding element 5 is outlined separately from two different perspectives. For the movable arrangement on the base element 3, the holding element 5 according to the invention has first guide elements 6, 9 and the base element 3-in Fig. 4 designated - second guide elements 10, 13, which interact with the first guide elements 6, 9 in such a way that the holding element 5 is thereby movably arranged on the base element 3.

Erfindungsgemäß umfassen die ersten Führungselemente 6, 9 einen Führungszapfen 6 und die zweiten Führungselemente 10, 13 eine Führungsfläche 10 zur Führung des Führungszapfens 6. Alternativ kann (in den Figuren nicht gezeigt) der Führungszapfen als Teil der zweiten Führungselemente ausgebildet sein und die Führungsfläche als Teil der ersten Führungselemente.According to the invention, the first guide elements 6, 9 comprise a guide pin 6 and the second guide elements 10, 13 a guide surface 10 for guiding the guide pin 6. Alternatively (not shown in the figures), the guide pin can be formed as part of the second guide elements and the guide surface as part of the first leadership elements.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft umfassen die ersten Führungselemente 6, 9 außerdem einen weiteren Führungszapfen 9 und die zweiten Führungselemente 10, 13 eine weitere Führungsfläche 13 zur Führung des weiteren Führungszapfens 9, wobei der zuerst genannte Führungszapfen 6 und der weitere Führungszapfen 9 vorteilhaft derart gestaltet sind, dass sie mit ihren freien Enden aufeinander zu weisen, wie beispielsweise aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich. Alternativ können die beiden Führungszapfen auch voneinander weg weisen.Furthermore advantageously, the first guide elements 6, 9 also comprise a further guide pin 9 and the second guide elements 10, 13 a further guide surface 13 for guiding the further guide pin 9, the first-mentioned guide pin 6 and the further guide pin 9 being advantageously designed such that they with their free ends facing each other, such as from Fig. 5 evident. Alternatively, the two guide pins can also point away from each other.

Alternativ können (in den Figuren nicht gezeigt) die beiden Führungszapfen als Teile der zweiten Führungselemente gestaltet sein und die beiden Führungsflächen als Teile der ersten Führungselemente.Alternatively (not shown in the figures), the two guide pins can be designed as parts of the second guide elements and the two guide surfaces as parts of the first guide elements.

Wie beispielsweise in Fig. 2 bezeichnet, umfasst vorzugsweise der Verbindungsbereich des Basiselements 3 zwei nach oben gerichtete Vertikalelemente 31, 32, wobei jeweils eine der Führungsflächen 10, 13 an einem der beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 ausgebildet ist. Im gezeigten Beispiel ist die erste Führungsfläche 10 an dem ersten Vertikalelement 31 ausgebildet und die zweite Führungsfläche 13 an dem zweiten Vertikalelement 32. Zwischen den beiden Vertikalelementen 31, 32 ist ein Spalt gebildet. Vorzugsweise sind die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 mit Bezug auf den Spalt spiegelsymmetrisch gestaltet, wobei insbesondere die Führungsflächen 10, 13 mit Bezug auf den Spalt jeweils an den entsprechenden äußeren vertikalen Endbereichen bzw. Kantenbereichen der Vertikalelemente 31, 32 ausgebildet sind.Like for example in Fig. 2 referred to, the connection area of the base element 3 preferably comprises two upwardly directed vertical elements 31, 32, one of the guide surfaces 10, 13 being formed on one of the two vertical elements 31, 32, respectively. In the example shown, the first guide surface 10 is formed on the first vertical element 31 and the second guide surface 13 on the second vertical element 32. A gap is formed between the two vertical elements 31, 32. The two vertical elements 31, 32 are preferably designed with mirror symmetry with respect to the gap, in particular the guide surfaces 10, 13 with respect to the gap being formed in each case on the corresponding outer vertical end regions or edge regions of the vertical elements 31, 32.

Im gezeigten Beispiel ist die Führungsfläche 10 derart gestaltet, dass sie den Führungszapfen 6 mit Bezug auf die Mitte des ringförmigen Basiselements 3 nach radial außen und nach radial innen lagebegrenzt, jedoch eine vertikale Bewegung des Führungszapfens 6 ermöglicht. Vorzugsweise ist die Gestaltung mit Bezug auf die weitere Führungsfläche 13, den weiteren Führungszapfen 9 und das zweite Vertikalelement 32 analog, insbesondere spiegelsymmetrisch baugleich.In the example shown, the guide surface 10 is designed such that it limits the position of the guide pin 6 with respect to the center of the ring-shaped base element 3 radially outwards and inwards, but enables vertical movement of the guide pin 6. Preferably, the design is related to the further guide surface 13, the further guide pin 9 and the second vertical element 32 analog, in particular mirror-symmetrically identical.

Die beiden Führungsflächen 10, 13 weisen an ihren oberen Enden jeweils einen Anschlag 101, 131 auf, derart, dass die beiden Führungszapfen 6, 9 ohne Formveränderung des Basiselements 3 und/oder des Halteelements 5 nicht nach oben aus ihren Führungsflächen 10, 13 heraus bewegt werden können.The two guide surfaces 10, 13 each have a stop 101, 131 at their upper ends, such that the two guide pins 6, 9 do not move upward out of their guide surfaces 10, 13 without changing the shape of the base element 3 and / or the holding element 5 can be.

Vorzugsweise ist das Halteelement 5 über eine Rastverbindung mit dem Basiselement 3 verbunden. Hierdurch lässt sich das Halteelement 5 besonders handhabungsfreundlich mit dem Basiselement 3 verbinden. Beim gezeigten Beispiel ist vorgesehen, dass zum Verbinden des Halteelements 5 mit dem Basiselement 5 die beiden Führungszapfen 6, 9 an den oberen Endbereichen der Vertikalelemente 31, 32 in die Führungsflächen 10, 13 eingeklipst werden, wobei sich die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 mit ihren oberen freien Endbereichen beim Einklipsen aufeinander zu bewegen, so dass sich der Spalt zwischen ihnen verkleinert. Es ist bei diesem Beispiel also eine Formveränderung des Basiselements 3 erforderlich, um das Halteelement 5 mit dem Basiselement 5 wie vorgesehen zu verbinden.The holding element 5 is preferably connected to the base element 3 via a snap-in connection. As a result, the holding element 5 can be connected to the base element 3 in a manner which is particularly easy to handle. In the example shown, it is provided that in order to connect the holding element 5 to the base element 5, the two guide pins 6, 9 are clipped into the guide surfaces 10, 13 at the upper end regions of the vertical elements 31, 32, the two vertical elements 31, 32 with their to move the upper free end areas towards one another when clipping in, so that the gap between them narrows. In this example it is therefore necessary to change the shape of the base element 3 in order to connect the holding element 5 to the base element 5 as intended.

Durch das genannte Einklipsen der Führungszapfen 6, 9 ist eine besonders einfache Montage des Halteelements 5 an dem Basiselement 3 ermöglicht. Vorzugsweise ist die Gestaltung derart, dass die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 dabei manuell ausgelenkt werden können, so dass das Einklipsen der beiden Führungszapfen 6, 9 ohne Werkzeug möglich ist.A particularly simple assembly of the holding element 5 on the base element 3 is made possible by the aforementioned clipping of the guide pins 6, 9. The configuration is preferably such that the two vertical elements 31, 32 can be deflected manually, so that the two guide pins 6, 9 can be clipped in without tools.

Wie beispielsweise aus den Figuren 3 und 4 hervorgeht, ist durch die genannte geführte Anordnung des Halteelements 5 am Basiselement 3 ermöglicht, dass das Halteelement 5 in der Montageposition M mit Bezug auf die Ringform des Basiselements 3 mit seinem Schwerpunkt innerhalb der beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 angeordnet ist. Zum Bewegen in die Halteposition H wird das Halteelement 5 von der Position aus, in der sich die beiden Führungszapfen 6, 9 in ihren obersten Positionen befinden, also an den Anschlägen 101, 131, durch eine Schwenkbewegung unter Drehung um eine horizontale Achse, die durch die beiden Führungszapfen 6, 9 verläuft, nach außen geschwenkt, so dass sein Schwerpunkt oberhalb der beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 herüber nach außen bewegt wird. Anschließend lässt sich das Halteelement 5 mit seinem Schwerpunkt außerhalb der beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 nach unten bewegen, bis es sich in der Halteposition H befindet. Die ersten und zweiten Führungselenente 6, 9, 10, 13 dienen dabei zur definierten Führung des Halteelements 5 aus der Montageposition M in die Halteposition H. For example from the Figures 3 and 4th emerges, the aforementioned guided arrangement of the holding element 5 on the base element 3 enables the holding element 5 to be arranged in the mounting position M with respect to the ring shape of the base element 3 with its center of gravity within the two vertical elements 31, 32. To move into the holding position H , the holding element 5 is moved from the position in which the two guide pins 6, 9 are in their uppermost positions, that is to say to the stops 101, 131, by a pivoting movement while rotating about a horizontal axis the two guide pins 6, 9 extend, pivoted outwards, so that its center of gravity is above the two Vertical elements 31, 32 is moved outwards. The holding element 5 can then be moved downward with its center of gravity outside the two vertical elements 31, 32 until it is in the holding position H. The first and second guide elements 6, 9, 10, 13 serve for the defined guidance of the holding element 5 from the mounting position M into the holding position H.

Weiterhin vorzugsweise weist das Halteelement 5 zwei in einem Schnitt U-förmige Umklammerungsbereiche 40, 41 auf, die die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 von außen mit geringem Spiel umgreifen, wenn sich das Halteelement 5 in der Halteposition H befindet. Dabei ist die Gestaltung weiterhin derart, dass sich die beiden Umklammerungsbereiche 40, 41 - bei entsprechender Orientierung des Halteelements 5 - oberhalb der Vertikalelemente 31, 32 befinden, wenn sich die beiden Führungszapfen 6, 9 in ihren obersten Positionen, also an den Anschlägen 101, 131 befinden; auf diese Weise lässt sich die oben beschriebene Schwenkbewegung ermöglichen. Wenn ausgehend von dieser obersten Position das nach außen geschwenkte Halteelement 5 nach unten bewegt wird, bewegen sich die beiden Umklammerungsbereiche 40, 41 dementsprechend ebenso nach unten, bis sie die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 umgreifen. Bei der weiteren Bewegung nach unten können die Umklammerungsbereiche 40, 41 auch zur Führung des Halteelements 5 in die Halteposition H dienen. Insofern können die Umklammerungsbereiche 40, 41 als weitere Teile der ersten Führungselemente aufgefasst werden und die Vertikalelemente 31, 32 als weitere Teile der zweiten Führungselemente.Furthermore, the holding element 5 preferably has two clasping regions 40, 41 which are U-shaped in one section and which grip around the two vertical elements 31, 32 from the outside with little play when the holding element 5 is in the holding position H. The design is further such that the two clasping areas 40, 41 - with the corresponding orientation of the holding element 5 - are above the vertical elements 31, 32 when the two guide pins 6, 9 are in their uppermost positions, that is to say on the stops 101, 131 located; in this way the pivoting movement described above can be made possible. If, starting from this uppermost position, the holding element 5 pivoted outwards is moved downward, the two clasping regions 40, 41 accordingly also move downwards until they grip around the two vertical elements 31, 32. With the further downward movement, the clasping regions 40, 41 can also serve to guide the holding element 5 into the holding position H. In this respect, the clasping areas 40, 41 can be understood as further parts of the first guide elements and the vertical elements 31, 32 as further parts of the second guide elements.

Wie beispielsweise aus den Figuren 5 und 6 ersichtlich, weist das Halteelement 5 vorzugsweise ein Anlageelement 15 auf, das dazu vorgesehen ist, zum Halten des Einbaurings 1 in der Einbauöffnung von oben her gegen den Randbereich der Einbauöffnung in Anlage gebracht zu werden.For example from the Figures 5 and 6 As can be seen, the holding element 5 preferably has an abutment element 15, which is intended to be brought into abutment against the edge region of the installation opening from above for holding the installation ring 1 in the installation opening.

Um das Halteelement 5 besonders handhabungsfreundlich auf der Außenseite der beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 nach unten bewegen zu können, weist es vorzugsweise wenigstens ein Betätigungselement 17 auf, vorzugsweise zwei Betätigungselemente 17, 18, die insbesondere dazu ausgebildet sind, mit zwei Fingern einer Hand betätigt zu werden.In order to be able to move the holding element 5 downwards on the outside of the two vertical elements 31, 32 in a manner which is particularly easy to handle, it preferably has at least one actuating element 17, preferably two actuating elements 17, 18, which are in particular designed to be actuated with two fingers of one hand will.

Vorzugsweise ist weiterhin ein, auf das wenigstens eine Halteelement 5 wirkender, reversibel lösbarer Feststellmechanismus vorgesehen, über den bzw. durch den das Halteelement 5 in der Halteposition H gehalten werden kann. Beim gezeigten Beispiel ist hierzu am Halteelement 5 wenigstens eine Rastnase 19 ausgebildet, bevorzugt sind zwei Rastnasen 19, 20 ausgebildet, die mit Rastlaschen 21, 22 derart wechselwirken, dass hierdurch das Halteelement 5 zwar aus der Montageposition M kommend in die Halteposition H verbracht werden kann, sich aber nicht selbsttätig aus der Halteposition H heraus lösen kann. Vorzugsweise sind die Rastlaschen 21, 22 an den beiden Vertikalelementen 31, 32 ausgebildet, insbesondere - mit Bezug auf die Ringform des Basiselements 3 - auf den nach außen weisenden Flächen der Vertikalelemente 31, 32. In Verbindung mit einer Wechselwirkung zwischen den beiden Umklammerungsbereichen 30, 31 einerseits und den beiden Vertikalelementen 31, 32 andererseits ist das Anlageelement 15 durch den genannten Feststellmechanismus in der Halteposition H gegenüber dem Basiselement 3 lagegesichert gehalten. Wenn sich das Halteelement 5 in der Halteposition H befindet, klemmt das Anlageelement 15 einerseits und der Flanschbereich 4 andererseits einen Randbereich der Einbauöffnung zwischen sich ein, so dass es sich bei der Halteposition H insoweit um eine Klemmposition handelt.Preferably, a reversibly releasable locking mechanism, which acts on the at least one holding element 5, is also provided, via which or by which the holding element 5 can be held in the holding position H. In the example shown, at least one locking lug 19 is formed on the holding element 5 for this purpose, preferably two locking lugs 19, 20 are formed which interact with locking tabs 21, 22 in such a way that the holding element 5 can be moved from the mounting position M to the holding position H as a result , but can not automatically get out of the holding position H. The latching tabs 21, 22 are preferably formed on the two vertical elements 31, 32, in particular - with reference to the ring shape of the base element 3 - on the outwardly facing surfaces of the vertical elements 31, 32. In connection with an interaction between the two clasping regions 30, 31 on the one hand and the two vertical elements 31, 32 on the other hand, the abutment element 15 is held securely in position in the holding position H relative to the base element 3 by the locking mechanism mentioned. When the holding element 5 is in the holding position H , the contact element 15, on the one hand, and the flange region 4, on the other hand, clamp an edge region of the installation opening between them, so that the holding position H is a clamping position.

Zum Lösen des Feststellmechanismus weist das Halteelement 5 vorteilhaft ein Löseelement 23 auf, das zum Lösen des Feststellmechanismus - mit Bezug auf den Einbauring 1 - von innen betätigt werden kann. Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Gestaltung derart, dass sich bei einem Druck auf das Löseelement 23 die Rastnasen 19, 20 aus ihrem Eingriff in die Rastlaschen 21, 22 lösen und anschließend das Halteelement 5 nach oben bewegt werden kann. Das Halteelement 5 kann, wie in den Figuren gezeigt, so gestaltet sein, dass sich das Löseelement 23 durch den Spalt zwischen den beiden Vertikalelementen 31, 32 hindurch erstreckt, wenn sich das Halteelement 5 in der Halteposition H befindet.To release the locking mechanism, the holding element 5 advantageously has a release element 23, which can be actuated from the inside - with reference to the mounting ring 1 - to release the locking mechanism. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the design is such that when the release element 23 is pressed, the catches 19, 20 release from their engagement in the catch tabs 21, 22 and the holding element 5 can then be moved upward. As shown in the figures, the holding element 5 can be designed such that the release element 23 extends through the gap between the two vertical elements 31, 32 when the holding element 5 is in the holding position H.

An ihren oberen Endbereichen können die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 jeweils ein Stützelement 106 aufweisen, durch das das Halteelement 5 in einer Zwischenposition auf dem Weg von der Montageposition M in die Halteposition H gehalten werden kann. Dabei ist die Gestaltung vorzugsweise so, dass sich das Halteelement 5 aus der Zwischenposition durch manuelles Überdrücken des Halts und eine Linearbewegung nach unten in die Halteposition H bewegen lässt. Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass zum Überdrücken des Halts die beiden Führungszapfen 6, 9 des Halteelements 5 über die Stützelemente 106 geführt werden müssen. Das Stützelement 106 kann insbesondere durch einen kleinen Vorsprung an dem betreffenden Vertikalelement 31, 32 bzw. an der entsprechenden Führungsfläche 10 bzw. 13 gebildet sein.At their upper end regions, the two vertical elements 31, 32 can each have a support element 106, by means of which the holding element 5 can be held in an intermediate position on the way from the mounting position M to the holding position H. The design is preferably such that the holding element 5 moves out of the intermediate position by manually pushing the stop over and a linear movement can be moved down to the holding position H. For example, it can be provided that the two guide pins 6, 9 of the holding element 5 must be guided over the support elements 106 in order to press the hold over. The support element 106 can in particular be formed by a small projection on the relevant vertical element 31, 32 or on the corresponding guide surface 10 or 13.

Hierdurch kann oberhalb des Stützelements 106 ein definierter Stützbereich gebildet sein, so dass das Halteelement 5 - ohne äußere Krafteinwirkung - in der Zwischenposition ruht und nicht selbsttätig nach unten gleitet. Durch diese Ausführung lässt sich erzielen, dass zum Einbau des Einbaurings 1 in der Einbauöffnung zunächst das Halteelement 5 aus der Montageposition M wie beschrieben über die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 nach außen geschwenkt wird und sich das Halteelement 5 in der Folge - im Wesentlichen schwerkraftbedingt - bis in die Zwischenposition nach unten bewegt, wo es durch die Stützelemente 106 gehalten wird. Dann kann der Benutzer bequem die beiden Betätigungselemente 17, 18 ergreifen und nach unten drücken, so dass der Halt der Stützelemente 106 überdrückt wird und das Halteelement 5 in die Halteposition H bewegt wird.As a result, a defined support region can be formed above the support element 106, so that the holding element 5 rests in the intermediate position without external force and does not slide downwards automatically. With this embodiment it can be achieved that, for installing the installation ring 1 in the installation opening, the holding element 5 is first pivoted outward from the mounting position M as described via the two vertical elements 31, 32 and the holding element 5 subsequently - essentially due to gravity - moved down to the intermediate position, where it is held by the support elements 106. Then the user can comfortably grasp the two actuating elements 17, 18 and press them down, so that the hold of the support elements 106 is overpressed and the holding element 5 is moved into the holding position H.

Die Vertikalelemente 31, 32 sind vorzugsweise in einem Horizontalschnitt betrachtet gerundet ausgebildet, insbesondere im Fall eines kreisrunden Basiselements 3 in ihrer Rundung derjenigen des Basiselements 3 angepasst bzw. mit entsprechendem Krümmungsradius gestaltet. Diese Ausführung eignet sich besonders für Fälle, in denen der Einbauring 1 relativ klein ist, beispielsweise einen Durchmesser von weniger als 100 mm aufweist.The vertical elements 31, 32 are preferably rounded when viewed in a horizontal section, in particular in the case of a circular base element 3, their rounding is adapted to that of the base element 3 or is designed with a corresponding radius of curvature. This embodiment is particularly suitable for cases in which the mounting ring 1 is relatively small, for example has a diameter of less than 100 mm.

Das Halteelement 5 ist vorzugsweise in analoger Weise gerundet ausgebildet, wie beispielsweise bei genauer Betrachtung der Figuren 5 und 6 ersichtlich.The holding element 5 is preferably rounded in an analogous manner, for example when looking closely at the Figures 5 and 6 evident.

Vorzugsweise besteht der Einbauring 1 lediglich aus dem Basiselement 3 und dem wenigstens einen Halteelement 5. In diesem Fall sind insbesondere keine weiteren Teile beim Einbau des Einbaurings 1 in die Einbauöffnung erforderlich.The mounting ring 1 preferably consists only of the base element 3 and the at least one holding element 5. In this case, in particular no further parts are required when installing the mounting ring 1 in the mounting opening.

Der Einbauring 1 lässt sich so gestalten, dass er ohne Werkzeug montiert und demontiert werden kann.The mounting ring 1 can be designed so that it can be assembled and disassembled without tools.

Durch die beschriebene Gestaltung lässt sich ferner erzielen, dass der Einbauring 1 in seinem äußeren Erscheinungsbild mit der dazugehörigen restlichen Leuchte besonders gut harmoniert.The design described can furthermore achieve that the mounting ring 1 harmonizes particularly well in terms of its external appearance with the associated remaining luminaire.

Das Halteelement 5 kann als Zweikomponenten-Bauteil ausgebildet sein und am Anlageelement 15 eine Gummierung aufweisen. Insbesondere ist diejenige Fläche des Anlageelements 15, die zur Anlage an das Decken- oder Wandelement D vorgesehen ist, gummiert. Hierdurch ist ein Verdrehen des Einbaurings 1 im eingebauten Zustand erschwert.The holding element 5 can be designed as a two-component component and have a rubber coating on the contact element 15. In particular, that surface of the contact element 15 which is provided for contact with the ceiling or wall element D is rubberized. This makes it difficult to twist the mounting ring 1 in the installed state.

Die Gestaltung des Einbaurings 1 kann beispielsweise derart sein, dass ein Klemmbereich des Halteelements 5 zwischen 20 mm und 60 mm beträgt, insbesondere zwischen 30 mm und 50 mm, beispielsweise 40 mm.The design of the mounting ring 1 can, for example, be such that a clamping area of the holding element 5 is between 20 mm and 60 mm, in particular between 30 mm and 50 mm, for example 40 mm.

In Fig. 7 ist eine perspektivische Skizze zu einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt. Im Folgenden wird lediglich auf Unterschiede zu dem oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel eingegangen. Die Bezugszeichen sind analog gebraucht.In Fig. 7 a perspective sketch of a further embodiment is shown. In the following, only differences from the exemplary embodiment described above are discussed. The reference symbols are used analogously.

Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Basiselement 3 nicht kreisförmig, sondern eckig und dabei ringförmig geschlossen gestaltet sein, insbesondere - wie gezeigt - viereckig. In Fig. 8 ist das separierte Halteelement 5 skizziert und in Fig. 9 das separierte Basiselement 3.In this exemplary embodiment, the base element 3 is not circular, but has an angular and annular design, in particular — as shown — square. In Fig. 8 is the separated holding element 5 outlined and in Fig. 9 the separated base element 3.

Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel umfassen die ersten Führungselemente vier Führungszapfen 6, 7, 8, 9, und die zweiten Führungselemente vier Führungsflächen in Form von vier Führungsnuten 10', 11', 12', 13 ', wobei jeweils einer der Führungszapfen 6, 7, 8, 9 in jeweils einer der Führungsnuten 10', 11 ', 12', 13' geführt angeordnet ist.In this exemplary embodiment, the first guide elements comprise four guide pins 6, 7, 8, 9, and the second guide elements four guide surfaces in the form of four guide grooves 10 ', 11', 12 ', 13', one of each of the guide pins 6, 7, 8 , 9 is arranged in each of the guide grooves 10 ', 11', 12 ', 13' guided.

Wie beispielsweise aus Fig. 9 hervorgeht, sind die Führungsnuten 10', 11', 12', 13' jeweils geradlinig gestaltet und dabei alle vier normal zu der Ebene der Einbauöffnung, in einer vertikalen Ebene orientiert (also nicht wie oben im Fall eines kreisförmigen Einbaurings beschrieben gerundet) ausgebildet. Die vier Führungszapfen 6, 7, 8, 9 sind längs einer horizontalen Geraden ausgebildet.Like for example Fig. 9 emerges, the guide grooves 10 ', 11', 12 ', 13' are each designed in a straight line and all four are oriented normal to the plane of the installation opening in a vertical plane (ie not as above in the case of a circular one Installation ring described rounded). The four guide pins 6, 7, 8, 9 are formed along a horizontal straight line.

Die beiden mittleren Führungsnuten 11', 12' erstrecken sich dabei weiter von der Ebene des Flanschbereichs 4 nach oben fort als die beiden äußeren Führungsnuten 10', 13'.The two middle guide grooves 11 ', 12' extend further upward from the plane of the flange region 4 than the two outer guide grooves 10 ', 13'.

Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass zum Verbinden zunächst die beiden mittleren Führungszapfen 7, 8 von oben in die beiden mittleren Führungsnuten 11', 12' eingeführt werden, anschließend das Halteelement 5 ein kleines Stück nach unten bewegt wird und dann die beiden äußeren Führungszapfen 6, 9 - unter Formveränderung des Halteelements 5 und/oder des Basiselements 3 - in die beiden äußeren Führungsnuten 10', 13' eingerastet bzw. eingeklipst werden.In this exemplary embodiment, it is provided that for connection the two middle guide pins 7, 8 are first inserted into the two middle guide grooves 11 ', 12' from above, then the holding element 5 is moved a little bit downward and then the two outer guide pins 6 , 9 - with a change in the shape of the holding element 5 and / or the base element 3 - are snapped into or clipped into the two outer guide grooves 10 ', 13'.

Nach unten hin können zwei analog wirkende weitere Anschläge 102, 132 der beiden äußeren Führungsnuten 10', 13' gebildet sein.At the bottom, two further stops 102, 132 of the two outer guide grooves 10 ', 13' which act in an analog manner can be formed.

Das Anlageelement 15 kann insbesondere federnd gestaltet sein und dabei zwei Anlageflächen bilden, die sich - mit Bezug auf die beiden Vertikalelemente 31, 32 - auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten erstrecken, wenn sich das Halteelement 5 in der Halteposition H befindet.The contact element 15 can in particular be designed to be resilient and thereby form two contact surfaces which - with reference to the two vertical elements 31, 32 - extend on two opposite sides when the holding element 5 is in the holding position H.
