Definitions

  • the invention relates to a busbar system according to the preamble of claim 1 and a contact element for a busbar.
  • busbar systems are well known and are used in particular to operate lights of various designs at selectable positions. Both in terms of their configuration and in terms of their installation location, the busbars are variable and depend on the general manufacturing conditions, design requirements and, if the busbars are used as a design element in living rooms, the mechanical strength or the like.
  • the conductor rail should be integrated into the corresponding furniture part at the factory with only little effort. On the other hand, there is a requirement to mount different lights or consumers with little effort and to connect them electrically to the busbar.
  • busbars do not meet the aforementioned requirements to the desired extent, above all because the busbars are of relatively large cross-section and are therefore often perceived as disruptive, particularly from a design point of view.
  • the at least one contact element for example in the form of a current feeder.
  • the cross-sectional dimensioning is relatively large due to the configuration of the two contacts in particular, so that the conductor rail system as a whole no longer meets today's design requirements.
  • this contact band has proven itself. However, it lies on the surface of the corresponding furniture part and is therefore fully visible. In this respect, it is for a specific application, namely as an integrated, i.e. largely invisible functional part in a piece of furniture, not suitable to the required extent.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop a busbar system of the generic type in such a way that it can be manufactured and assembled with little constructional and technical outlay and meets the design requirements for assembly.
  • busbar Due to the constructive design of the busbar, especially the spaced-apart contact strips, which are now convex in cross-section in the direction facing each other, a very small cross-sectional dimensioning of the busbar is possible, with the open longitudinal slot of the profile rail into which the contacts of the Consumer can be used, can be kept very narrow, so that the conductor rail can be integrated inconspicuously in a furniture part, preferably a furniture panel.
  • the busbar system in addition to the busbar, also comprises a contact element, for example a feeder, in particular a power feeder, which can be connected to an on-site power supply or to a transformer which can be connected to the power supply, the latter when, as is preferred, the busbar system is operated at low voltage becomes.
  • a contact element for example a feeder, in particular a power feeder, which can be connected to an on-site power supply or to a transformer which can be connected to the power supply, the latter when, as is preferred, the busbar system is operated at low voltage becomes.
  • the contact element can also be designed as an adapter, e.g. as a pantograph, which is connected to a consumer, such as a lamp or the like, or as a current transformer in the form of a linear, corner, T or cross connector with several, each having resilient contacts in the sense of the invention having connection parts, the front or longitudinal side in the busbars are plugged in. This creates a variety of design options by assembling several busbars.
  • an adapter e.g. as a pantograph, which is connected to a consumer, such as a lamp or the like, or as a current transformer in the form of a linear, corner, T or cross connector with several, each having resilient contacts in the sense of the invention having connection parts, the front or longitudinal side in the busbars are plugged in.
  • the spherical configuration of the contacts is to be understood in the broadest sense, both as a spherical section in the sense of a spherical cap and in two directions perpendicular to one another, that is to say convexly shaped in the X and Y directions.
  • the flat design of the contacts enables a particularly narrow conductor rail to be dimensioned, since the width of the slot into which the connecting part with the contacts held thereon is inserted can be very small.
  • the new shape of the respective contact introduces bevels, which facilitates the assembly of the contact element in any direction.
  • the height of the U-shaped profile rail which is preferably in the assembled position, is smaller than the thickness of the furniture panel provided with a longitudinal groove, which in turn corresponds in depth to the height of the profile rail, so that the profile rail is flush with the surface with the adjacent surface of the furniture panel.
  • the longitudinal slot in particular in combination with the new contact element, can be kept very small, the distance between the two contact strips being smaller than the assigned dimension of contact elements of the consumer, so that the Contact elements of the consumer securely, if necessary, frictionally.
  • the profile rail is preferably made of plastic, which is designed in cross section in such a way that, on the one hand, the contact strips are held in a form-fitting manner and, on the other hand, there are receiving chambers, which engage in the latching projections of a current feeder and of adapters.
  • the profile rail which is U-shaped in cross section, is located before assembly, i.e. before being inserted into a furniture-side receptacle, for example the aforementioned longitudinal groove, as an essentially flat structure which has a film hinge in the region of an axis of symmetry, by means of which the two legs receiving the contact strips are pivoted toward one another during assembly such that the U Shape results.
  • This type of design of the profile rail enables a particularly simple manufacture and simple insertion and fastening of the contact strips, as a result of which the overall cost is reduced accordingly.
  • the contact element can be designed differently, and in each case it has two contacts that are electrically separated from one another and held on a connecting part, each of which contacts one of the two contact strips.
  • the current feeder can be provided with a receiver, so that the connected consumer can be switched on or dimmed via a transmitter, for example a remote control or a smartphone. Furthermore, the current feeder can correspond as a sensor to a furniture door, in particular to the interior lighting of a piece of furniture when the door is opened.
  • adapters in different design variants are also conceivable.
  • an axial adapter which is part of a linear lamp and which extends with its contacts in the longitudinal direction of the linear lamp.
  • the contacts of the adapter are arranged transversely to the longitudinal extent of the consumer, so that it runs parallel to the conductor rail.
  • the adapter can have, for example, a USB connection for supplying power to a connected functional part, such as smartphones, tablets, battery lamps or the like.
  • a plurality of adapters can be connected to the busbar, the respective adapter being connected via a cable to a housing which is inserted adjacent to a blind hole-like recess provided in a furniture floor opening for a furniture lamp.
  • the contacts of the respective adapter which abut the contact strips of the busbar, are also convex or dome-like in the longitudinal direction of the contact strips and transversely thereto, so that a spherical configuration results.
  • the adapter can be held as a contact slide in the busbar, the contact slide being guided over a driver of a sliding door of a piece of furniture and a connecting line to the slide supplying power to a lamp attached to the sliding door.
  • connecting rails can be used to accommodate the busbar according to the invention, so that longitudinal grooves to be introduced separately are not required.
  • At least one magnet is positioned in the busbar, preferably in the longitudinal direction of the busbar is displaceable and is in operative connection with a consumer, for example a lamp, when in use.
  • a consumer for example a lamp
  • the consumer has a correspondence element in the form of a magnetic metal part.
  • the magnet is mounted in an undercut receiving groove in such a way that it is prevented from moving in such a way that the connected lamp, for example, is held securely even when the busbar is oriented vertically.
  • An additional attachment e.g. screwing is not necessary. Nevertheless, the magnet can be moved into any position with appropriate manual effort, which of course brings a clear advantage in terms of design options.
  • FIG 1 is a busbar 1 of a busbar system recognizable, which has a cross-section approximately U-shaped profile rail 2, preferably made of plastic, with two opposite, on the legs of the profile rail 2 held contact strips 3, according to the invention in the mutually facing direction in cross section are convex, which is particularly evident in the Figure 2 is recognizable.
  • busbar 1 is inserted into a longitudinal groove 6 of a furniture panel 5 and held there by means of speargun webs 9.
  • busbar 1 on its open side forming a longitudinal slot 4, is flush with the adjacent surface of the furniture panel 5.

  • the contacts 11 are inserted into a housing which has on its underside a sword-shaped connecting part 11 'with latching lugs, which forms both a receptacle for the contacts 11 and a holder in the busbar 1, the thickness of the connecting part 11' being approximately the same Width of the slot 4 corresponds.
  • the housing On the side facing away from the connecting part 11 ', the housing is closed by a cover 13. A form-fitting mounting of the adapter 10 and a current feeder 14 described below is achieved by the locking lugs of the connection part 11 ', which engage in locking chambers 8 of the profile rail 2.
  • this can be provided with a coding which corresponds to a coding of the current feeder 14 or the adapter 10 which is adapted to it.
  • a power feeder 14 that can be inserted laterally into the busbar 1 is shown, which is connected via a cable 15 to a power source, preferably a transformer, and also has two contacts 11 that are electrically separated from one another.
  • a power source preferably a transformer
  • the illustrated current feeders 14 differ in size, the larger current feeder 14 according to the Figure 4 can have, for example, a radio receiver or the like.
