Of the
Leuchtmittelträger umfasst dabei die eigentlichen Leuchtmittel, beispielsweise in Form von Leuchtdioden oder Leuchtstoffröhren. Light source carrier includes the actual bulbs, for example in the form of light emitting diodes or fluorescent tubes.
In der Praxis hat sich nunmehr gezeigt, dass bei der Montage einer derartigen Lichtbandleuchte die Anordnung des Leuchtmittelträgers in der Lichtbandschiene relativ umständlich und damit zeitintensiv ist, da diese Bauteile oftmals miteinander verschraubt oder in sonstiger Weise in einem separaten Arbeitsschritt miteinander verbunden werden müssen. Darüber hinaus ist eine Wartung einer solchen Lichtbandleuchte ebenfalls zeitintensiv, da zunächst die Verbindung zwischen dem Leuchtmittelträger und der Lichtbandschiene in einem separaten Schritt gelöst werden muss, um an den darunter liegenden Geräteträger gelangen zu können. Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik stellt sich die vorliegendeIn practice, it has now been found that in the assembly of such a continuous-line luminaire, the arrangement of the illuminant carrier in the Lichtbandschiene is relatively cumbersome and therefore time-consuming, since these components often need to be bolted together or otherwise connected in a separate step with each other. In addition, a maintenance of such Continuous line light also time-consuming, since first the connection between the illuminant carrier and the light rail must be solved in a separate step in order to get to the underlying device carrier can. Based on this prior art, the present invention

Diese und andere Aufgaben die in der folgenden Beschreibung noch genannt werden oder vom Fachmann erkannt werden können, werden mit dem Gegenstand der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Ausführliche Beschreibung der Erfindung Ein erfindungsgemäßer Leuchtmittelträger für eine Lichtbandleuchte umfasst: These and other objects, which will be referred to in the following description or may be recognized by those skilled in the art, are achieved by the subject matter of the independent claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An illuminant carrier for a continuous-line luminaire according to the invention comprises:
- zumindest ein Federelement zum lösbaren Verbinden des - At least one spring element for releasably connecting the
Leuchtmittelträgers mit einer Lichtbandschiene einer  Illuminant carrier with a Lichtbandschiene a
Lichtbandleuchte; - wobei das zumindest eine Federelement zumindest ein Rastelement umfasst, das mit einem korrespondierend ausgebildeten Rastelement oder einem korrespondierend ausgebildeten Wandungsabschnitt der Lichtbandschiene in Eingriff bringbar ist, um dem Leuchtmittelträger mit der Lichtbandschiene derart zu verrasten, dass eine Bewegung des Leuchtmittelträgers entgegen einer Einbringrichtung des  Trunking luminaire; - wherein the at least one spring element comprises at least one latching element which can be brought into engagement with a correspondingly formed latching element or a correspondingly formed wall section of the light rail in order to lock the illuminant carrier with the light rail in such a way that movement of the illuminant carrier counter to an insertion direction of the
Leuchtmittelträgers in die Lichtbandschiene verhindert wird.  Illuminant carrier is prevented in the light rail.
Mit anderen Worten schlägt die vorliegende Erfindung vor, am In other words, the present invention proposes to
Leuchtmittelträger ein Federelement mit zumindest einem Rastelement vorzusehen, das mit der Lichtbandschiene während des Einführens des Leuchtmittelträgers in die Lichtbandschiene selbsttätig verrastet, und zwar derart dass jedenfalls ein Herausfallen aus der Lichtbandschiene (also in einer Richtung entgegen der Einführrichtung) verhindert wird. Lamp carrier to provide a spring element with at least one locking element which automatically locks with the light rail during the insertion of the illuminant carrier in the Lichtbandschiene, and Although in such a way that in any case falling out of the light rail (ie in a direction opposite to the insertion) is prevented.
