Dies ist auch dadurch begründet, weil die elektrische Leuchte über Schleifkontakte verfügt, die kontaktgebend mit kreisförmig angeordneten Schleifbahnen zusammenwirken, welche sich auf einer Koppelleiterplatte befinden, die in der topfförmigen Vertiefung des Aufsatzes angeordnet ist.With such a design of electric lights, it is particularly advantageous if the housing base of the electric light is provided with a cylindrical coupling part and if a precisely fitting, also cylindrical, pot-shaped recess is provided on the attachment as a coupling device, into which the coupling part of the electric light can rotate can be inserted. Through such a configuration of the mechanical coupling, Simultaneous electrical and data technology coupling, it is advantageously possible that the coupled electrical light can be aligned in a particularly simple manner by the user by twisting in a function-optimized manner. This is also due to the fact that the electric light has sliding contacts, which interact in a contacting manner with circularly arranged sliding tracks which are located on a coupling circuit board which is arranged in the pot-shaped recess of the attachment.

Wie aus den Figuren hervorgeht, weist die elektrische Leuchte L zur Kopplung mit einem, als Aufsatz A ausgeführten zweiten Funktionsmodul eines elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerätes I an seiner Gehäuseanordnung ein hutförmiges Koppelteil 1 auf. Das hutförmige Koppelteil 1 ist einstückig an einen Gehäusesockel 2 der Gehäuseanordnung angeformt. Im Innenraum 3 des Gehäusesockels 2 ist eine elektrische Leiterplatte 4 gehalten, die einerseits elektrisch leitend mit mehreren, aus dem hutförmigen Koppelteil 1 nach außen geführten Schleifkontakten 5 und die andererseits elektrisch leitend mit einer Leuchtmittelleiterplatte 7 in Verbindung steht. Die Leuchtmittelleiterplatte 7 ist über eine Schraubverbindung an der äußeren Hauptfläche 8 eines an den Gehäusesockel 2 angeschraubten Gehäusedeckels 9 festgelegt. Zudem ist eine Designabdeckung 10 vorgesehen, welche ebenfalls am Gehäusesockel 2 festgelegt ist.As can be seen from the figures, the electrical light L has a hat-shaped coupling part 1 on its housing arrangement for coupling to a second functional module of an electrical / electronic installation device I, which is designed as an attachment A. The hat-shaped coupling part 1 is integrally formed on a housing base 2 of the housing arrangement. In the interior 3 of the housing base 2, an electrical circuit board 4 is held, which is on the one hand electrically conductive with a plurality of sliding contacts 5 led outward from the hat-shaped coupling part 1 and on the other hand is electrically conductive with a lamp circuit board 7. The lamp circuit board 7 is connected to the housing base via a screw connection on the outer main surface 8 2 screwed housing cover 9 fixed. In addition, a design cover 10 is provided, which is also fixed on the housing base 2.

Wie des Weiteren aus den Figuren hervorgeht, ist das hutförmige Koppelteil 1 an den Gehäusesockel 2 angeformt. Das hutförmige Koppelteil 1 und der Gehäusesockel 2 sind somit einstückig ausgeführt. Der Gehäusesockel 2 weist eine rechteckige Außenkontur auf. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist am Gehäusesockel 2 ein Gehäusedeckel 9 angeschraubt, welcher als Träger für die Leuchtmittelleiterplatte 7 dient. Die Leuchtmittelleiterplatte 7 ist mit mehreren, als LED ausgeführten Leuchtmitteln 6 bestückt. Um eine gute Wärmeabfuhr zu gewährleisten, besteht der Kern der Leuchtmittelleiterplatte 7 aus Aluminium. Wie ebenfalls bereits erwähnt, ist eine Designabdeckung 10 vorgesehen, welche außenseitig den formschönen Abschluss bildet und mit ihrem freien Randbereich die Außenkontur des rechteckigen Gehäusesockels 2 umfasst. Sowohl die als LED ausgeführten Leuchtmittel 6 als auch weitere federnde Kontaktstifte 21 sind an der dem Gehäusedeckel 9 zugewandten Leiterplattenfläche der Leuchtmittelleiterplatte 7 angeordnet. Für den Lichtdurchtritt des von den Leuchtmitteln 6 abgegebenen Lichtes weist der Gehäusedeckel 9 entsprechende Lichtdurchtrittsöffnungen auf. Zur Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung durchdringen die weiteren federnden Kontaktstifte 21 die äußere Hauptfläche 8 des Gehäusedeckels 9 und kommen kontaktgebend an, auf der elektrischen Leiterplatte 4 vorhandenen, Kontaktflächen zur Anlage. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind zur Kontaktierung vier weitere federnde Kontaktstifte 21 vorgesehen, welche zu einer Kontaktanordnung zusammengefasst sind.As can also be seen from the figures, the hat-shaped coupling part 1 is molded onto the housing base 2. The hat-shaped coupling part 1 and the housing base 2 are thus made in one piece. The housing base 2 has a rectangular outer contour. As already mentioned, a housing cover 9 is screwed onto the housing base 2, which serves as a carrier for the light conductor circuit board 7. The illuminant circuit board 7 is equipped with a plurality of illuminants 6 designed as LEDs. In order to ensure good heat dissipation, the core of the lamp circuit board 7 is made of aluminum. As also already mentioned, a design cover 10 is provided which forms the shapely end on the outside and, with its free edge region, comprises the outer contour of the rectangular housing base 2. Both the lamps 6 designed as LEDs and further resilient contact pins 21 are arranged on the circuit board surface of the lamp circuit board 7 facing the housing cover 9. The housing cover 9 has corresponding light passage openings for the light passage of the light emitted by the illuminants 6. To establish an electrical connection, the further resilient contact pins 21 penetrate the outer main surface 8 of the housing cover 9 and come into contact with the existing contact surfaces on the electrical circuit board 4. In the present exemplary embodiment, four further resilient contact pins 21 are provided for contacting, which are combined to form a contact arrangement.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 1 hervorgeht, ist am Gehäusesockel 2 ein als Reflektor 11 ausgeführtes Lichtbeeinflussungselement gehalten. Der Reflektor 11 weist eine bogenförmige Kontur auf und stützt sich rückseitig an entsprechend geformten, einstückig am Gehäusesockel 2 vorhandenen, Stegen 12 ab. Die Frontseite des Reflektors 11 ist den auf der Leuchtmittelleiterplatte 7 befindlichen Leuchtmitteln 6 zugewandt. Der Gehäusedeckel 9 ist rechteckförmig in Art eines Kastens ausgebildet und ist an einer seiner vier Umfangswände 13 mit einem Lichtaustrittsfenster 14 versehen, welches einen definierten Lichtaustritt des von den Leuchtmitteln 6 erzeugten und vom Reflektor 11 umgeleiteten Lichtes ermöglicht. Das Lichtaustrittsfenster 14 ist mit einer seiner Kantenflächen direkt dem Reflektor 11 zugeordnet. Die dieser Kantenfläche gegenüberliegende Kantenfläche des Lichtaustrittsfensters 14 weist eine angeformte Halteschiene 22 auf, welche haltend mit entsprechend gestalteten Haltebereichen des Gehäusedeckels 9 zusammenwirkt. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind zur Herstellung von elektrischen und datentechnischen Verbindungen mit dem elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerät I sechs Schleifkontakte 5 vorgesehen, wobei jeder der sechs Schleifkontakte 5 als federnder Kontaktstift ausgebildet ist. Drei Schleifkontakte 5 sind jeweils zu einer Kontaktanordnung zusammengefasst. Es sind zwei Kontaktanordnungen vorgesehen, die jeweils drei Schleifkontakte 5 aufweisen, damit eine redundante Kontaktierung von drei, am Aufsatz A des elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerätes I vorhandenen, Schleifbahnen 15 gewährleistet ist (siehe insbesondere Figur 3). Zu diesem Zweck sind die einerseits an der elektrischen Leiterplatte 4 festgelegten, als federnde Kontaktstifte ausgeführten, Schleifkontakte 5 andererseits mit ihrem freien Endbereich aus dem hutförmigen Koppelteil 1 des Gehäusesockels 2 nach außen geführt (siehe insbesondere Figur 2).How especially out Figure 1 emerges, a light influencing element designed as a reflector 11 is held on the housing base 2. The reflector 11 has an arcuate contour and is supported on the back on appropriately shaped webs 12 which are integral with the housing base 2. The front of the reflector 11 faces the lamps 6 located on the lamp circuit board 7. The housing cover 9 has a rectangular shape in the manner of a box and is provided on one of its four peripheral walls 13 with a light exit window 14, which enables a defined light exit of the light generated by the lamps 6 and redirected by the reflector 11. The Light exit window 14 is directly assigned to reflector 11 with one of its edge surfaces. The edge surface of the light exit window 14 opposite this edge surface has an integrally formed holding rail 22 which cooperates in a holding manner with correspondingly designed holding regions of the housing cover 9. In the present exemplary embodiment, six sliding contacts 5 are provided for establishing electrical and data technology connections with the electrical / electronic installation device I, each of the six sliding contacts 5 being designed as a resilient contact pin. Three sliding contacts 5 are combined to form a contact arrangement. Two contact arrangements are provided, each having three sliding contacts 5, so that redundant contacting of three sliding tracks 15 present on the attachment A of the electrical / electronic installation device I is ensured (see in particular Figure 3 ). For this purpose, the sliding contacts 5 fixed on the one hand on the electrical printed circuit board 4, designed as resilient contact pins, on the other hand are led outwards with their free end region from the hat-shaped coupling part 1 of the housing base 2 (see in particular Figure 2 ).

Wie zudem aus den Figuren hervorgeht, ist zur Kopplung mit dem Aufsatz A im Innenraum des Gehäusesockels 2 ein Gegenmagnet 16 angeordnet, welcher haltend mit einem im Aufsatz A des elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgeräts I befindlichen - der Einfachheit halber nicht dargestellten - Koppelmagneten zusammenwirkt. Weiterhin ist in der umfänglichen Außenwand des hutförmigen Koppelteils 1 eine umlaufend angeordnete, nutförmige Ausnehmung 17 eingebracht, welche mit zwei Riegelelementen 18 einer im Aufsatz A des elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerätes I befindlichen Verriegelungseinrichtung zusammenwirkt. Das zur Kopplung mit dem Aufsatz A vorgesehene hutförmige Koppelteil 1 weist beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel eine zylindrische Form auf. Auch die zur Kopplung der elektrischen Leuchte L vorgesehene, im Aufsatz A befindliche, topfförmige Vertiefung 19 weist deshalb, maßlich angepasst, eine zylindrische Form auf. Die beiden Riegelelemente 18 durchgreifen partiell die Umfangswand 23 der topfförmigen Vertiefung 19, weshalb sich in der Umfangswand 23 zwei schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen befinden.As can also be seen from the figures, a counter magnet 16 is arranged for coupling to the attachment A in the interior of the housing base 2, which magnet interacts with a coupling magnet located in attachment A of the electrical / electronic installation device I, which is not shown for the sake of simplicity. Furthermore, a circumferentially arranged, groove-shaped recess 17 is made in the peripheral outer wall of the hat-shaped coupling part 1, which cooperates with two locking elements 18 of a locking device located in the attachment A of the electrical / electronic installation device I. The hat-shaped coupling part 1 provided for coupling with the attachment A has a cylindrical shape in the present exemplary embodiment. The cup-shaped recess 19 provided in the attachment A for coupling the electric light L therefore also has a cylindrical shape, adapted to the dimensions. The two locking elements 18 partially extend through the peripheral wall 23 of the cup-shaped recess 19, which is why there are two slot-shaped recesses in the peripheral wall 23.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, besteht das elektrische/elektronische Installationsgerät I aus einem in einer Installationsdose unterzubringenden Einsatz E, in dessen Gehäuse mehrere elektrische/elektronische Bauteile untergebracht sind. Der Einsatz E weist rückseitig Verbindungselemente zum Anschluss an ein Installationssystem eines Gebäudes auf. Frontseitig ist der Einsatz E mit einem elektrischen Steckerteil versehen, welches zum Anschluss des wandseitig anzuordnenden Aufsatzes A vorgesehen ist. Wie bereits beschrieben, ist der Aufsatz A dazu vorgesehen, zugehörige elektrische Leuchten L wiederlösbar anzukoppeln, wobei gleichzeitig eine mechanische, eine elektrische und eine datentechnische Ankopplung realisiert wird. Frontseitig weist der Aufsatz A dazu die topfförmige Vertiefung 19 auf, in welcher eine Koppelleiterplatte 20 angeordnet ist, die drei kreisförmig angeordnete, elektrische Schleifbahnen 15 aufweist, um eine elektrische Kontaktierung mit den sechs Schleifkontakten 5 der elektrischen Leuchte L herzustellen. Wie des Weiteren insbesondere aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, besteht der Aufsatz A aus einem, die topfförmige Vertiefung 19 aufweisenden Zentralstück Z und einem, das Zentralstück Z umgebenden Abdeckrahmen R.How especially out Figure 3 emerges, the electrical / electronic installation device I consists of an insert E to be accommodated in an installation box, in the housing of which several electrical / electronic components are accommodated. The insert E has connection elements on the back for connection to an installation system of a building. The front of the insert E is provided with an electrical plug part, which is provided for connecting the attachment A to be arranged on the wall. As already described, the attachment A is provided for releasably coupling the associated electrical lights L, a mechanical, an electrical and a data-technology coupling being implemented at the same time. To this end, the attachment A has the pot-shaped recess 19, in which a coupling circuit board 20 is arranged, which has three circularly arranged electrical sliding tracks 15 in order to make electrical contact with the six sliding contacts 5 of the electric light L. As further in particular from Figure 3 the attachment A consists of a central piece Z having the pot-shaped recess 19 and a cover frame R surrounding the central piece Z

Es ist somit eine elektrische Leuchte L geschaffen, welche ohne die Verwendung einer Kabelverbindung auf besonders einfache Art und Weise an ein elektrisches Installationssystem eines Gebäudes angeschlossen werden kann. Vorteilhafterweise erfolgt die mechanische, die elektrische und die datentechnische Ankopplung über ein hutförmiges Koppelteil 1 der Gehäuseanordnung, welches maßlich und funktionstechnisch auf eine Koppeleinrichtung abgestimmt ist, die sich, ausgebildet als topfförmige Vertiefung 19, im Aufsatz A eines an das elektrische Installationssystem eines Gebäudes angeschlossenen elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerätes I befindet. Somit besteht lediglich die Notwendigkeit, dass die zur Ankopplung vorgesehenen elektrischen Leuchten L über ein einheitliches, hutförmig ausgebildetes Koppelteil 1 verfügen.An electrical luminaire L is thus created which can be connected to an electrical installation system of a building in a particularly simple manner without the use of a cable connection. The mechanical, electrical and data technology coupling is advantageously carried out via a hat-shaped coupling part 1 of the housing arrangement, which is dimensionally and functionally matched to a coupling device which, designed as a pot-shaped recess 19, is located in the top part A of an electrical one connected to the electrical installation system of a building / electronic installation device I is located. Thus, there is only the need for the electrical lights L provided for coupling to have a uniform, hat-shaped coupling part 1.
