Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Leuchte mit wenigstens einer Leuchtvorrichtung, welche ein Leuchtmittel aufweist.The invention relates to a lamp with at least one lighting device, which has a lighting means.

Es gibt eine Reihe von Anwendungen, bei denen Leuchten hinsichtlich des auszuleuchtenden Raumes flexibel gestaltet sein sollen. Ein Problem, welches dabei auftritt, liegt darin, dass die Leuchtvorrichtungen mit Spannung zu versorgen sind. Je flexibler die Anbringung und die Ausrichtbarkeit von Leuchtvorrichtungen sein soll, desto höher sind die Anforderungen an die Spannungsversorgung hinsichtlich der Unterbringung. Insbesondere sind solche Spannungsversorgungen nicht beliebig miniaturisierbar, so dass schon aus diesem Grund das Mitschleppen solcher Spannungsversorgungen in der Nähe des Leuchtmittels aus optischen Gründen nachteilig anmutet.There are a number of applications where luminaires are designed to be flexible in terms of the space to be illuminated. A problem that arises is that the lighting devices are to be supplied with voltage. The more flexible the attachment and the adjustability of lighting devices should be, the higher the requirements for the power supply in terms of housing. In particular, such power supplies are not arbitrarily miniaturized, so that even for this reason, the entrainment of such power supplies in the vicinity of the bulb for optical reasons seems disadvantageous.

Durch das Aufkommen der Niedervolttechnik wurden die Sicherheitsanforderungen an die Spannungsführung geringer und die Beleuchtungsaufbauten variabler. Über Seilzüge, die auch der Stromversorgung dienen, werden Leuchtobjekte aufgehängt. Bekannt sind auch parallel gespannte Seile, zwischen die die Leuchtmittel aufgehängt werden.Due to the advent of low-voltage technology, the safety requirements for the voltage control were reduced and the lighting structures more variable. About cables, which also serve the power supply, lighting objects are suspended. Also known are parallel tensioned cables, between which the bulbs are suspended.

In der Regel sind die Leuchtkörper an den Drähten fixiert, um einen guten Kontakt herzustellen. Solche Leuchten sind gerade in Umgebungen mit hoher Feuchtigkeit (Badezimmer, Küche) nicht ohne weiteres einsetzbar und eignen sich insbesondere nicht zur Wandmontage.In general, the filaments are fixed to the wires to make a good contact. Such lights are just in environments with high humidity (bathroom, kitchen) not readily usable and are particularly not suitable for wall mounting.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, eine Leuchte der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, die die erwähnten Nachteile nicht aufweist.The object of the invention is to provide a luminaire of the type mentioned, which does not have the mentioned disadvantages.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Leuchte mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen werden in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben. Eine Leuchte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 wird in US 2014/268835 A1 offenbart. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Leuchtmittel an einer stromführenden, stabförmigen und aus elektrisch leitendem Material gebildeten Kontaktvorrichtung angebracht, wobei die Kontaktvorrichtung einen ersten stabförmigen Abschnitt und einen demgegenüber elektrisch isolierten zweiten stabförmigen Abschnitt aufweist und zwischen den beiden stabförmigen Abschnitten eine elektrische Spannung anliegt. Über eine erste Halterung ist die Leuchtvorrichtung am ersten stabförmigen Abschnitt und über eine zweite Halterung am zweiten stabförmigen Abschnitt gehalten, wobei ein erster elektrischer Kontaktbereich der Leuchtvorrichtung an dem ersten stabförmigen Abschnitt und ein zweiter elektrischer Kontaktbereich der Leuchtvorrichtung am zweiten Abschnitt anliegt. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass sich die beiden stabförmigen Abschnitte entlang einer gemeinsamen Achse erstrecken und axial hintereinander angeordnet sind, wobei in axialer Richtung eine Isolierung zwischen den beiden stabförmigen Abschnitten vorgesehen ist. Mit einer solchen Befestigung der Leuchtvorrichtung an einer stabförmigen Kontaktvorrichtung ist es möglich, einen platzsparenden Aufbau der Leuchte zu erreichen.The object is achieved by a luminaire with the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments are described in the dependent claims. A luminaire according to the preamble of claim 1 is in US 2014/268835 A1 disclosed. According to the invention, the luminous means is attached to a current-carrying, rod-shaped contact device formed from electrically conductive material, wherein the contact device has a first rod-shaped section and a second electrically rod-shaped section which is electrically insulated and an electrical voltage is applied between the two rod-shaped sections. The lighting device is held on the first rod-shaped section via a first holder and on the second rod-shaped section via a second holder, wherein a first electrical contact region of the lighting device adjoins the first bar-shaped section and a second electrical contact region of the lighting device adjoins the second section. According to the invention, it is provided that the two rod-shaped sections extend along a common axis and are arranged axially one behind the other, with insulation being provided between the two rod-shaped sections in the axial direction. With such an attachment of the lighting device to a rod-shaped contact device, it is possible to achieve a space-saving design of the lamp.

Wenn die stabförmige Kontaktvorrichtung bevorzugt senkrecht zum Boden angebracht ist, kann die Leuchtvorrichtung platzsparend untergebracht werden.If the rod-shaped contact device is preferably mounted perpendicular to the ground, the lighting device can be accommodated to save space.

Derartige Leuchten lassen sich beispielsweise gut in Möbel integrieren. Dort können sie sowohl allein dekorativen wie durchaus auch anwendungsbezogenen Zwecken dienen. So können so ausgeführte Leuchtvorrichtungen z.B. in Spiegelschränken oder Spiegelhaltern angebracht werden und dabei noch viel Raum zum Anbringen eines Spiegels lassen. Auch ein Anbau an Vitrinen oder anderen Ausstellungs- und/oder Präsentationsflächen in Möbeln ist mit derartigen Leuchten möglich.Such lights can be well integrated into furniture, for example. There they can be used for decorative as well as application purposes. Thus, lighting devices thus configured can be used e.g. in mirror cabinets or mirror holders and still leave a lot of space for attaching a mirror. An extension of showcases or other exhibition and / or presentation surfaces in furniture is possible with such lights.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Kontaktbereiche Schleifkontakte auf. So ist es möglich, die Leuchtvorrichtung in unterschiedlichen Positionen an der stabförmigen Kontaktvorrichtung anzubringen, um so eine individuell ausgerichtete Beleuchtung zu ermöglichen.In a preferred embodiment, the contact areas have sliding contacts. Thus, it is possible to attach the lighting device in different positions on the rod-shaped contact device, so as to allow an individually aligned lighting.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind deshalb die Halterungen so ausgelegt, dass die Leuchtvorrichtung an der Kontaktvorrichtung drehbar und/oder in Axialrichtung der Kontaktvorrichtung verschieblich ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist dann die Positionierung nicht nur einstellbar fest, sondern unmittelbar variabel. So kann beispielsweise bei einer Präsentationsfläche die Leuchtvorrichtung so gedreht werden, dass das Objekt optimal ausgeleuchtet wird. Eine Verschiebung entlang der stabförmigen Kontaktvorrichtung kann, wenn die Kontaktvorrichtung waagerecht angebracht wurde, zur Ausleuchtung einer bestimmten Position ausgerichtet werden.In a further preferred embodiment, therefore, the brackets are designed so that the lighting device on the contact device is rotatable and / or displaceable in the axial direction of the contact device. In this embodiment, then the positioning is not only adjustable fixed, but directly variable. For example, in the case of a presentation surface, the lighting device can be rotated in such a way that the object is optimally illuminated. A displacement along the rod-shaped contact device, if the contact device has been mounted horizontally, be aligned to illuminate a particular position.

Bei einer senkrechten Anbringung der Kontaktvorrichtung kann durch die Verschiebung eine optimale Ausleuchtposition erreicht werden.With a vertical attachment of the contact device can be achieved by the displacement of an optimal illumination position.

Bei einer Kombination von Drehung und Verschiebung entlang der Kontaktvorrichtung ist es möglich, die Ausleuchtung einfacher zu optimieren. So könnte beispielsweise bei einem Spiegelschrank im Bad die Leuchtvorrichtung so positioniert werden, dass die Ausleuchtung beispielsweise eines Gesichts hinsichtlich der Höhe und der Position optimiert wird.With a combination of rotation and displacement along the contact device, it is possible to simplify the illumination easier. For example, in the case of a mirror cabinet in the bathroom, the lighting device could be positioned in such a way that the illumination of, for example, a face is optimized in terms of height and position.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist das Leuchtmittel eine LED und/oder OLED auf. Mit diesen Leuchtmitteln kann die Bautiefe der Leuchtvorrichtung weiter reduziert werden. Mit LEDs bzw. OLEDs lassen sich Leuchtflächen von nahezu beliebiger Fläche gestalten, ohne die Bauhöhe zu beeinflussen. Der Einsatz derartiger Leuchtmittel erhöht die Einsatzmöglichkeiten.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the luminous means has an LED and / or OLED. With these bulbs, the depth of the lighting device can be further reduced. LEDs or OLEDs can be used to create lighting surfaces of almost any surface without affecting the overall height. The use of such bulbs increases the potential applications.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Leuchte 1 mit einem Zwischenraum, der durch die obere Abdeckung 2, der Rückwand 4 und der Bodenplatte 3 begrenzt wird. Seitlich wird der Zwischenraum durch je eine Leuchtvorrichtung 10 begrenzt. Im gezeigten Beispiel kann der Zwischenraum zum Beispiel zur Aufnahme eines Spiegels verwendet werden. Die Leuchtvorrichtung 10 weist ein Leuchtmittel 11, das hier flächig ausgeführt ist, und eine stabförmige Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b auf, an der das Leuchtmittel 11 befestigt ist. Die stabförmige, metallisch leitende Kontaktvorrichtung umfasst einen ersten stabförmigen Abschnitt 5a und einen demgegenüber elektrisch isolierten zweiten stabförmigen Abschnitt 5b. Die Isolierung ist in dieser Figur 1 nicht gezeigt. Zwischen den stabförmigen Abschnitten der Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b kann Spannung angelegt werden, um das Leuchtmittel zu betreiben. Wird die in Figur 1 gezeigte Leuchte 1 als Spiegel oder Spiegelschrank ausgebildet, so ist die Rückwand 4 verspiegelt bzw. als Spiegeltür ausgeführt. Hierbei könnte die Bodenplatte 3 als zusätzliche Ablage benutzt werden. Bei einer derartigen Anwendung ist es vorteilhaft, die Leuchtmittel 11 drehbar und in Axialrichtung der Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b verschieblich auszuführen. Ein Benutzer kann dann beispielsweise sein Gesicht bei subjektivem Abstand vom Spiegel optimal mit dem Leuchtmittel 11 ausleuchten.The FIG. 1 shows a lamp 1 with a gap which is bounded by the upper cover 2, the rear wall 4 and the bottom plate 3. Laterally, the gap is limited by a respective lighting device 10. In the example shown, the gap can be used, for example, to receive a mirror. The lighting device 10 has a lighting means 11, which is designed here flat, and a rod-shaped contact device 5a, 5b, to which the lighting means 11 is attached. The rod-shaped, metallically conductive contact device comprises a first rod-shaped portion 5a and a second electrically-insulated second rod-shaped portion 5b. The insulation is in this FIG. 1 Not shown. Voltage can be applied between the rod-shaped sections of the contact device 5a, 5b in order to operate the luminous means. Will the in FIG. 1 shown lamp 1 designed as a mirror or mirror cabinet, the rear wall 4 is mirrored or executed as a mirror door. Here, the bottom plate 3 could be used as additional storage. In such an application, it is advantageous, the light emitting means 11 rotatably and in the axial direction of the contact device 5a, 5b slidably perform. A user can then, for example, optimally illuminate his face with the illuminant 11 at a subjective distance from the mirror.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b senkrecht angebracht. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, die Kontaktvorrichtung waagerecht oder in einer beliebigen Raumrichtung auszurichten. Des Weiteren wird in der Figur die Leuchtfläche des Leuchtmittels 11 rechteckig dargestellt. Die Ausgestaltung der Leuchtfläche ist beliebig; sie kann auch rund, oval, dreieckig, sechseckig oder in jeder beliebigen Form ausgeführt sein. Dabei ist es nicht wichtig, ob die Fläche dabei eben oder irgendwie gewölbt ist. Gerade bei einem Einsatz von LEDs und/oder OLEDs ist jede beliebige Oberflächentopographie ausführbar.In the embodiment shown, the contact device 5a, 5b is mounted vertically. However, it is also possible to align the contact device horizontally or in any spatial direction. Furthermore, in the figure, the luminous area of the luminous means 11 is shown rectangular. The design of the luminous surface is arbitrary; it can also be round, oval, triangular, hexagonal or in any shape. It does not matter if the surface is flat or curved. Especially with the use of LEDs and / or OLEDs any surface topography is executable.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine Leuchtvorrichtung 10, umfassend ein Leuchtmittel 10 und eine stabförmige Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b. In der Figur 2A wird gezeigt, wie das Leuchtmittel 11 mit einer ersten Halterung 14 an dem ersten stabförmigen Abschnitt 5a der Kontaktvorrichtung gehalten wird und mit einer zweiten Halterung 13 an dem zweiten Abschnitt 5b der Kontaktvorrichtung. Die Halterungen 13, 14 sind am unteren bzw. am oberen Ende des Leuchtmittels 11 angebracht und sind mit einem Kontaktabnehmer ausgestattet. Da die beiden Abschnitte 5a, 5b voneinander elektrisch isoliert sind (hier nicht gezeigt), kann zwischen den jeweiligen Abschnitten 5a, 5b der Kontaktvorrichtung eine elektrische Spannung angelegt werden, mit der das Leuchtmittel 11 betrieben werden kann. Aufgrund der dargestellten Länge des Leuchtmittels 11 wurde das Leuchtmittel 11 mit einer weiteren Halterung 12, mit der es an die Kontaktvorrichtung angebracht ist, stabilisiert. Die dargestellten Halterungen 12 - 14 sind so ausgeführt, dass das Leuchtmittel 11 um die stabförmige Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b gedreht werden kann, was mit dem gebogenen Pfeil P angezeigt wird. Da es sich bei dieser Ausführung bei den Kontakten in den Halterungen 14 und 13 um Schleifkontakte handelt, lässt sich das Leuchtmittel 11 auch in Axialrichtung X der Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b verschieben.The FIG. 2 shows a lighting device 10, comprising a lighting means 10 and a rod-shaped contact device 5a, 5b. In the FIG. 2A It is shown how the light-emitting means 11 is held with a first holder 14 on the first rod-shaped portion 5a of the contact device and with a second holder 13 on the second portion 5b of the contact device. The brackets 13, 14 are attached to the lower and the upper end of the lamp 11 and are equipped with a contact pickup. Since the two sections 5a, 5b are electrically insulated from one another (not shown here), an electrical voltage can be applied between the respective sections 5a, 5b of the contact device, with which the lighting device 11 can be operated. Due to the illustrated length of the luminous means 11, the luminous means 11 has been stabilized with a further holder 12 with which it is attached to the contact device. The illustrated brackets 12-14 are designed so that the lamp 11 to the rod-shaped contact device 5a, 5b can be rotated, which is indicated by the bent arrow P. Since in this embodiment the contacts in the holders 14 and 13 are sliding contacts, the light source 11 can also be displaced in the axial direction X of the contact device 5a, 5b.

Es ist durchaus auch möglich, die Kontaktvorrichtung einseitig oder beidseitig mit Vertiefungen oder umlaufenden Nuten zu versehen. Werden dann in den Halterungen 13 und/ oder 14 Kugelkontakte eingesetzt, so rasten diese jeweils in die Vertiefungen ein und fixieren das Leuchtmittel 11 oder sie rasten in die umlaufenden Nuten ein, was dann die Höhe fixiert, aber ein weiteres Drehen des Leuchtmittels 11 erlaubt. Andere Kontakte in den Halterungen 13 und 14 sind je nach Anforderungen an die Flexibilität der Leuchtvorrichtung 10 denkbar.It is quite possible to provide the contact device on one side or on both sides with recesses or circumferential grooves. Become then used in the brackets 13 and / or 14 ball contacts, so they each rest in the wells and fix the bulb 11 or they snap into the circumferential grooves, which then fixes the height, but allows further rotation of the bulb 11. Other contacts in the brackets 13 and 14 are conceivable depending on the requirements of the flexibility of the lighting device 10.

Die Figur 2B zeigt die Seitenansicht einer Leuchtvorrichtung 10 gemäß der Figur 2A. Das sehr flach ausgeführte Leuchtmittel 11 ist mit drei Halterungen 12 - 14 an der stabförmigen Kontaktvorrichtung befestigt. Die Figur 2C zeigt einen Schnitt durch die Leuchtmittelvorrichtung 10 durch die Linie D der Figur 2B senkrecht zu der Zeichenebene.The FIG. 2B shows the side view of a lighting device 10 according to the FIG. 2A , The very flat running light source 11 is fixed with three brackets 12-14 on the rod-shaped contact device. The Figure 2C shows a section through the illuminating device 10 through the line D of FIG. 2B perpendicular to the drawing plane.

In den Halterungen 13 und 14 sind die Kontakte angebracht, mit denen das Leuchtmittel 11 über die Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b mit Strom versorgt wird. In Höhe des Halters 12 ist die Isolierung 15 dargestellt, die die Abschnitte 5a und 5b der Kontaktvorrichtung elektrisch isoliert. Somit kann eine Spannung an die Abschnitte angelegt werden, um die Leuchtvorrichtung 10 zu betreiben.In the holders 13 and 14, the contacts are attached, with which the lamp 11 is supplied via the contact device 5a, 5b with power. At the level of the holder 12, the insulation 15 is shown, the sections 5a and 5b the contact device electrically isolated. Thus, a voltage can be applied to the sections to operate the lighting device 10.

Die Positionierung der Isolierung 15 zwischen den beiden Abschnitten 5a, 5b der Kontaktvorrichtung ist beliebig.The positioning of the insulation 15 between the two sections 5a, 5b of the contact device is arbitrary.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist, die Isolierung mittig oder zumindest fast mittig anzubringen, so dass die Abschnitte 5a, 5b gleich lang oder zumindest etwa gleich lang sind. Die Möglichkeit der Verschiebung in axialer Richtung X ist umso größer, je weiter der Abstand zwischen den Halterungen 13 und 14 ist. Um das Leuchtmittel 11 betreiben zu können, muss ein Halter 14 den Kontakt mit dem ersten Abschnitt 5a und der zweite Halter 13 den Kontakt mit dem zweiten Abschnitt 5b herstellen. Gerät einer der Kontakte auf die Isolierung 15 oder gar auf denselben Abschnitt wie der andere Halter, so kann das Leuchtmittel 11 nicht mehr betrieben werden. Soll die ganze Länge der Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b ausgenutzt werden, empfiehlt es sich, die Ausdehnung des Leuchtmittels 11 in Richtung der Kontaktvorrichtung mindestens etwas mehr als halb so lang wie die Länge der Kontaktvorrichtung 5a, 5b auszubilden. Sind die entsprechenden Halterungen 13, 14 an den äußeren Enden angebracht, kann die Leuchte 1 in jeder Position des Leuchtmittels 11 betrieben werden.A preferred embodiment is to attach the insulation centrally or at least almost centrally, so that the sections 5a, 5b are the same length or at least approximately the same length. The possibility of displacement in the axial direction X is greater, the further the distance between the brackets 13 and 14. In order to operate the lamp 11, a holder 14 must make contact with the first portion 5a and the second holder 13 make contact with the second portion 5b. Device one of the contacts on the insulation 15 or even on the same section as the other holder, the light-emitting means 11 can no longer be operated. If the entire length of the contact device 5a, 5b to be exploited, it is recommended that the extension of the lamp 11 in the direction of the contact device at least slightly more than half as long as the length of the contact device 5a, 5b form. Are the corresponding brackets 13, 14 attached to the outer ends, the lamp 1 can be operated in any position of the bulb 11.

Ist die Ausdehnung des Leuchtmittels 11 geringer oder die Halterungen 13, 14 nicht an den Enden des Leuchtmittels 11 montiert, besteht die Gefahr, die Leuchte 1 nicht in allen Positionen des Leuchtmittels 11 betreiben zu können.If the extent of the luminous means 11 is lower or the holders 13, 14 are not at the ends of the luminous means 11 mounted, there is a danger not to operate the lamp 1 in all positions of the bulb 11 can.

Die in den Figuren 2 offenbarten Halterungen 12 - 14 sind so ausgeführt, dass sie die gesamte Breite des Leuchtmittels 11 abdecken. Dies ist von Vorteil bez. der Stabilität, insbesondere wenn das Leuchtmittel 11 sehr flach ausgeführt ist. Es ist durchaus möglich, dass die Halterungen 12 - 14 nicht die gesamte Breite des Leuchtmittels überdecken.The in the Figures 2 disclosed brackets 12-14 are designed so that they cover the entire width of the lamp 11. This is advantageous bez. the stability, in particular when the lamp 11 is made very flat. It is quite possible that the brackets 12 - 14 do not cover the entire width of the lamp.

Die Figur 2D zeigt den Ausschnitt A der Figur 2C detaillieriter. Der Halter 13 umschließt den Abschnitt 5b der Kontaktvorrichtung derart, dass das Leuchtmittel 11 in der derzeitigen Position gehalten wird. Wird eine Kraft auf den Halter 13 ausgeübt, so bewegt er sich über die Oberfläche des Abschnitts 5b. Im Innern der Halterung ist ein Kontakt 17 angeordnet, der mit einem Ende 16 bevorzugt federnd oder kraftschlüssig gegen die Kontaktvorrichtung 5b drückt und somit den elektrischen Kontakt sicher herstellt. So kann das Leuchtmittel 11 in jede beliebige Position gebracht werden. Pos. 18 deutet ein optionales Gleitlager an, so dass sich - sofern vorhanden - der Halter 13 und auch die so ausgestatteten Halterungen 12 und 14 und damit die gesamte Leuchtvorrichtung 10 an den Abschnitten 5a, 5b mit möglichst wenig Reibung verschieben/drehen lässt.The FIG. 2D shows the section A of Figure 2C detaillieriter. The holder 13 encloses the portion 5b of the contact device such that the lighting means 11 is held in the current position. When a force is exerted on the holder 13, it moves over the surface of the portion 5b. In the interior of the holder, a contact 17 is arranged, which preferably presses with one end 16 resiliently or non-positively against the contact device 5b and thus produces the electrical contact safely. Thus, the light source 11 can be brought into any position. Item 18 indicates an optional sliding bearing, so that - if present - the holder 13 and the holders 12 and 14 thus equipped and thus the entire lighting device 10 at the sections 5a, 5b with as little friction move / rotate.
