Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leuchte mit einem drehbar gelagerten Lichtkopf.The invention relates to a lamp with a rotatably mounted light head.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist eine derartige Leuchte in Form einer Deckeneinbauleuchte bekannt. Der Lichtkopf der Leuchte weist eine Lichtquelle auf und ist an einem Einbauring drehbar gelagert. Durch eine Drehung des Lichtkopfes gegenüber dem Einbauring kann somit die Richtung der Lichtabgabe der Leuchte verändert werden.Such a light in the form of a ceiling light is known from the prior art. The light head of the lamp has a light source and is rotatably mounted on a mounting ring. By rotating the light head with respect to the mounting ring, the direction of the light output of the light can be changed.

Zur Realisierung der drehbaren Lagerung des Lichtkopfes dient ein Schraubgelenk, das mehrere unterschiedliche Einzelteile umfasst, wie eine Schraube, eine Mutter und Scheiben. Zur Herstellung der Leuchte ist es daher erforderlich, diese Einzelteile entsprechend zusammenzubauen. Dies ist nachteilig mit Bezug auf den Aufwand zur Herstellung der Leuchte.A screw joint that comprises several different individual parts, such as a screw, a nut and washers, is used to realize the rotatable mounting of the light head. To manufacture the lamp, it is therefore necessary to assemble these items accordingly. This is disadvantageous in terms of the effort required to manufacture the lamp.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind ferner Haltevorrichtungen beispielsweise für Strahler bekannt, bei denen mit Hilfe einer Gelenkvorrichtung ein Verdrehen oder Verschwenken des Strahlers um zumindest eine Achse ermöglicht wird. Derartige Anordnungen sind z.B. in der WO 2006/087216 6 A1 oder der EP 2 740 988 A1 beschreiben, wobei es sich um vergleichsweise komplexe und aus vielen Teilen bestehende Mechanismen handelt. Eine weitere Anordnung zur schwenkbaren Halterung einer Leuchte ist aus der US 4,034,946 bekannt.Holding devices, for example for radiators, are also known from the prior art, in which the radiator can be rotated or pivoted about at least one axis with the aid of a joint device. Such arrangements are for example in the WO 2006/087216 6 A1 or the EP 2 740 988 A1 describe, which are comparatively complex mechanisms consisting of many parts. Another arrangement for pivoting a lamp holder is from U.S. 4,034,946 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine entsprechende verbesserte Leuchte anzugeben. Insbesondere soll die Leuchte eine einfachere Herstellung ermöglichen.The invention is based on the object of specifying a corresponding improved lamp. In particular, the luminaire should enable simpler manufacture.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung mit dem in dem unabhängigen Anspruch genannten Gegenstand gelöst. Besondere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention with the subject matter mentioned in the independent claim. Particular embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Leuchte vorgesehen, die einen Lichtkopf mit einer darin angeordneten Lichtquelle aufweist, sowie ein Halteelement, wobei der Lichtkopf um eine Drehachse drehbar an dem Halteelement gelagert angeordnet ist. Dabei weist der Lichtkopf einen Gelenkzapfen auf und das Halteelement weist zwei Aufnahmebacken auf, die den Gelenkzapfen umgreifend angeordnet sind, so dass der Gelenkzapfen um die Drehachse drehbeweglich gegenüber den Aufnahmebacken angeordnet ist.According to the invention, a luminaire is provided which has a light head with a light source arranged therein, as well as a holding element, the light head being arranged on the holding element so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The light head has a hinge pin and the holding element has two receiving jaws which are arranged encompassing the hinge pin so that the hinge pin is arranged so that it can rotate about the axis of rotation relative to the receiving jaws.

Weiterhin weist die Leuchte ein Federelement auf, das derart die zwei Aufnahmebacken umgreifend angeordnet ist, dass es zur Hemmung der Drehbeweglichkeit des Gelenkzapfens die zwei Aufnahmebacken zusammendrückt.Furthermore, the lamp has a spring element which is arranged around the two receiving jaws in such a way that it presses the two receiving jaws together to inhibit the rotational mobility of the pivot pin.

Diese Gestaltung bringt insbesondere den Vorteil mit sich, dass zur Realisierung der drehbaren Lagerung weniger Einzelteile erforderlich sind und eine einfachere und schnellere Montage ermöglicht ist. Dadurch, dass der Gelenkzapfen als Teil des Lichtkopfes gestaltet ist und die Aufnahmebacken als Teil des Halteelements gestaltet sind, lässt sich erzielen, dass das Federelement insoweit das einzige weitere Einzelteil darstellt. Zum Zusammenbau lässt sich der Gelenkzapfen einfach zwischen die Aufnahmebacken drücken und anschließend das Federelement die Aufnahmebacken umgreifend anordnen.This design has the particular advantage that fewer individual parts are required to implement the rotatable mounting, and easier and faster assembly is made possible. Because the pivot pin is part of the Light head is designed and the receiving jaws are designed as part of the holding element, it can be achieved that the spring element is the only other individual part. For assembly, the pivot pin can simply be pressed between the receiving jaws and then the spring element can be arranged around the receiving jaws.

Vorzugsweise ist das Federelement eine Drahtfeder oder eine Blattfeder. Dies ist herstellungstechnisch vorteilhaft und erlaubt zudem eine besonders einfache Handhabung beim Anbringen des Federelements an den Aufnahmebacken.The spring element is preferably a wire spring or a leaf spring. This is advantageous in terms of manufacturing technology and also allows particularly simple handling when attaching the spring element to the receiving jaws.

Vorzugsweise ist das Federelement über eine Rastverbindung mit den Aufnahmebacken verbunden angeordnet. Hierdurch ist eine besonders zuverlässige und dabei einfach herzustellende Verbindung zwischen dem Federelement und den Aufnahmebacken ermöglicht.The spring element is preferably arranged connected to the receiving jaws via a latching connection. This enables a particularly reliable and, at the same time, easy to produce connection between the spring element and the receiving jaws.

Vorzugsweise sind die Aufnahmebacken aus Kunststoff bestehend gebildet. Dieses Material eignet sich besonders zur Realisierung geeigneter elastischer Eigenschaften der Aufnahmebacken, so dass sich zum Zusammenbau der Gelenkzapfen einfach zwischen die sich elastisch auseinanderbewegenden Aufnahmebacken drücken lässt.The receiving jaws are preferably made of plastic. This material is particularly suitable for realizing suitable elastic properties of the receiving jaws, so that to assemble the pivot pins it is easy to press between the receiving jaws, which move elastically apart.

Vorzugsweise sind die Aufnahmebacken und das restliche Halteelement einstückig miteinander verbunden gebildet. So lässt sich erzielen, dass zum Zusammenbau besonders wenige Einzelteile erforderlich sind.The receiving jaws and the rest of the holding element are preferably formed integrally connected to one another. In this way it can be achieved that particularly few individual parts are required for assembly.

Vorzugsweise ist das Halteelement ein Einbauring der Leuchte. Auf diese Weise lässt sich erzielen, dass das Halteelement auch als Einbauring fungiert.The holding element is preferably an installation ring of the lamp. In this way it can be achieved that the holding element also functions as an installation ring.

Vorzugsweise ist die Lichtquelle eine LED-Lichtquelle (LED: Licht emittierende Diode). Eine solche Lichtquelle weist grundsätzlich ein vergleichsweise besonders geringes Gewicht auf. In der Folge lässt sich auch der Lichtkopf mit geringem Gewicht gestalten, wodurch die Auslegung der drehbeweglichen Lagerung des Lichtkopfes am Halteelement grundsätzlich vereinfacht ist.The light source is preferably an LED light source (LED: light-emitting diode). Such a light source basically has a comparatively particularly low weight. As a result, the light head can also be designed with a low weight, as a result of which the design of the rotatable mounting of the light head on the holding element is fundamentally simplified.

Besonders eignet sich die anmeldungsgemäße Gestaltung, wenn die Leuchte eine Deckenleuchte ist, insbesondere eine Deckeneinbauleuchte.The design according to the application is particularly suitable when the lamp is a ceiling lamp, in particular a recessed ceiling lamp.

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

Fig. 2
eine Skizze zu einem ersten Schritt eines Zusammenbaus der Leuchte und
Fig. 3
eine Skizze zu einem zweiten Schritt des Zusammenbaus der Leuchte.
The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment and with reference to the drawings. Show it:
Fig. 1
a sketch of the embodiment of a lamp according to the application,
Fig. 2
a sketch for a first step in assembling the lamp and
Fig. 3
a sketch for a second step in assembling the lamp.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Skizze zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel einer anmeldungsgemäßen Leuchte. Die Leuchte weist einen Lichtkopf 1 auf, in dem eine Lichtquelle zur Erzeugung eines von der Leuchte abzugebenden Lichts angeordnet ist. Bei der Lichtquelle kann es sich insbesondere um eine LED-Lichtquelle handeln. Fig. 2 zeigt eine Skizze zu einem ersten Schritt eines Zusammenbaus der Leuchte, wobei der Lichtkopf 1 deutlicher erkennbar ist. Fig. 1 shows a sketch of the embodiment of a lamp according to the application. The lamp has a light head 1 in which a light source for generating a light to be emitted by the lamp is arranged. The light source can in particular be an LED light source. Fig. 2 shows a sketch for a first step in assembling the lamp, wherein the light head 1 can be seen more clearly.

Insbesondere kann der Lichtkopf Kühlrippen 11 aufweisen, die dazu gestaltet sind, Wärme abzugeben, die bei einem Betrieb der Leuchte durch die LED-Lichtquelle entsteht. Weiterhin kann der Lichtkopf 1 einen ringförmigen Bereich 12 aufweisen, durch den eine Lichtabgabeöffnung der Leuchte gebildet ist, durch die hindurch das Licht der Lichtquelle in den Außenraum gelangt. Im gezeigten Beispiel handelt es sich bei der Leuchte um eine Deckenleuchte, spezieller um eine Deckeneinbauleuchte, so dass eine Lichtabgabe in den unteren Halbraum vorgesehen ist und dementsprechend die Lichtabgabeöffnung der Leuchte in den unteren Halbraum weist.In particular, the light head can have cooling ribs 11, which are designed to give off heat that is generated when the lamp is operated by the LED light source. Furthermore, the light head 1 can have an annular region 12 through which a light emission opening of the lamp is formed, through which the light from the light source reaches the outside space. In the example shown, the lamp is a ceiling lamp, more specifically a recessed ceiling lamp, so that light output is provided in the lower half-space and the light output opening of the lamp accordingly points into the lower half-space.

Weiterhin umfasst die Leuchte ein Halteelement 2, im gezeigten Beispiel in Form eines Einbaurings. Das Halteelement 2 weist eine Öffnung 21 auf, durch die hindurch die Lichtabgabe der Leuchte vorgesehen ist. Dementsprechend ist die Gestaltung vorzugsweise derart, dass der ringförmige Bereich 12 des Lichtkopfes 1 in die Öffnung 21 des Halteelements 2 eingreifend angeordnet ist.Furthermore, the luminaire comprises a holding element 2, in the example shown in the form of an installation ring. The holding element 2 has an opening 21 through which the light output of the lamp is provided. Accordingly, the design is preferably such that the annular region 12 of the light head 1 is arranged so as to engage in the opening 21 of the holding element 2.

Das Halteelement 2 weist einen Anlagerand 22 auf, der zur Anlage von unten an einen Randbereich einer Deckeneinbauöffnung für die Leuchte vorgesehen ist. Dementsprechend erstreckt sich der Anlagerand 22 vorzugsweise in einer Ebene. In dieser Beschreibung wird davon ausgegangen, dass das Halteelement 2 bzw. der Einbauring gegenüber der Vertikalen so ausgerichtet ist, wie für einen Betrieb der Leuchte vorgesehen. Die Ebene des Anlagerands 22 ist dementsprechend horizontal orientiert. Im Allgemeinen kann jedoch auch eine anderweitige, beispielsweise schräge Ausrichtung des Anlagerands 22 vorgesehen sein.The holding element 2 has an abutment edge 22 which is provided for abutment from below against an edge region of a ceiling installation opening for the lamp. Accordingly, the contact edge 22 preferably extends in one plane. In this description it is assumed that the holding element 2 or the mounting ring is aligned with respect to the vertical in such a way as intended for operation of the lamp. The plane of the abutment edge 22 is accordingly horizontal oriented. In general, however, a different, for example inclined, alignment of the abutment edge 22 can also be provided.

Der Lichtkopf 1 ist um eine Drehachse D drehbar an dem Halteelement 1 gelagert angeordnet. Auf diese Weise lässt sich durch eine Drehung des Lichtkopfes 1 gegenüber dem Halteelement 2 die Richtung der Lichtabgabe der Leuchte verändern. Die Drehachse D ist vorzugsweise horizontal bzw. parallel zu der Ebene des Anlagerands 22 orientiert.The light head 1 is mounted on the holding element 1 so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation D. In this way, by rotating the light head 1 with respect to the holding element 2, the direction of the light output of the lamp can be changed. The axis of rotation D is preferably oriented horizontally or parallel to the plane of the abutment edge 22.

Zur Realisierung der drehbaren Lagerung des Lichtkopfes 1 an dem Halteelement 2 weist der Lichtkopf 1 einen Gelenkzapfen 3 auf und das Halteelement 2 zwei Aufnahmebacken 4, 5. Wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, die den zusammengebauten Zustand zeigt, sind diese Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 den Gelenkzapfen 3 umgreifend angeordnet, so dass der Gelenkzapfen 3 um die Drehachse D drehbeweglich gegenüber den Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 angeordnet ist.To implement the rotatable mounting of the light head 1 on the holding element 2, the light head 1 has a pivot pin 3 and the holding element 2 has two receiving jaws 4, 5 Fig. 1 shown, which shows the assembled state, these receiving jaws 4, 5 are arranged to encompass the pivot pin 3 so that the pivot pin 3 is arranged so that it can rotate about the axis of rotation D with respect to the receiving jaws 4, 5.

Vorzugsweise ist der Gelenkzapfen 3 von dem ringförmigen Bereich 12 seitlich vorstehend ausgebildet.The pivot pin 3 is preferably designed to protrude laterally from the annular region 12.

Vorzugsweise weist der Gelenkzapfen 3 eine kreiszylindrische Außenfläche 31 auf, die zur Kontaktierung mit den Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 gestaltet ist. Die durch die kreiszylindrische Außenfläche 31 festgelegte Zylinderachse Z fällt vorzugsweise mit der Drehachse D zusammen.The pivot pin 3 preferably has a circular cylindrical outer surface 31 which is designed for contacting the receiving jaws 4, 5. The cylinder axis Z defined by the circular cylindrical outer surface 31 preferably coincides with the axis of rotation D.

Die Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 weisen vorzugsweise auf ihren zueinander gerichteten Seiten konkave Bereiche auf, die die kreiszylindrische Außenfläche 31 gleichsam flächig kontaktieren.The receiving jaws 4, 5 preferably have concave areas on their mutually facing sides, which contact the circular cylindrical outer surface 31 as it were flat.

Wie im gezeigten Beispiel der Fall, können die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 freie Endbereiche aufweisen, die insbesondere nach oben weisen. Auf der anderen Seite, hier also unten, gehen die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 vorzugsweise fließend ineinander über, insbesondere können die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 einstückig miteinander verbunden ausgebildet sein.As is the case in the example shown, the two receiving jaws 4, 5 can have free end regions which, in particular, point upwards. On the other side, here at the bottom, the two receiving jaws 4, 5 preferably merge smoothly into one another; in particular, the two receiving jaws 4, 5 can be designed to be integrally connected to one another.

Auch die beiden konkaven Bereiche können fließend ineinander übergehend gestaltet sein, so dass hierdurch eine Anlagefläche für die kreiszylindrische Außenfläche 31 des Gelenkzapfens 3 gebildet ist, die - im Schnitt normal zu der Drehachse D betrachtet - einen Halbkreis oder mehr als einen Halbkreis beschreibt. Diese Anlagefläche ist vorzugsweise ebenfalls kreiszylindrisch, so dass eine flächige Kontaktierung zu der Außenfläche 31 des Gelenkzapfens 3 erzielt ist. Hierdurch ist die Drehbeweglichkeit des Gelenkzapfens 3 gegenüber den Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 besonders geeignet geführt ermöglicht.The two concave areas can also be designed to flow smoothly into one another, so that this forms a contact surface for the circular cylindrical outer surface 31 of the pivot pin 3, which - viewed in section normal to the axis of rotation D - describes a semicircle or more than a semicircle. This contact surface is preferably likewise circular-cylindrical, so that flat contact with the outer surface 31 of the pivot pin 3 is achieved. This enables the pivot pin 3 to be able to rotate relative to the receiving jaws 4, 5 in a particularly suitable manner.

In den Figuren ist - lediglich zur besseren Erkennbarkeit des Bereichs um den Gelenkzapfen 3 - das Halteelement 2 ein Stück weit abgeschnitten skizziert. Der Anlagerand 22 ist daher vorzugsweise nicht, wie dargestellt, unterbrochen, sondern geschlossen umlaufend, insbesondere kreisförmig umlaufend vorgesehen.In the figures, the holding element 2 is sketched cut off a little, merely to make the area around the pivot pin 3 easier to see. The abutment edge 22 is therefore preferably not interrupted, as shown, but is provided in a closed circumferential manner, in particular in a circular manner.

Weiterhin weist die Leuchte ein Federelement 6 auf, das derart angeordnet ist, dass es zur Hemmung der Drehbeweglichkeit des Gelenkzapfens 3 die zwei Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 zusammendrückt. Das Federelement 6 ist vorzugsweise - wie gezeigt - in Form einer Drahtfeder gebildet. Alternativ kann es auch als eine Blattfeder gestaltet sein.Furthermore, the lamp has a spring element 6 which is arranged in such a way that it presses the two receiving jaws 4, 5 together to inhibit the rotational mobility of the pivot pin 3. The spring element 6 is preferably - as shown - in the form of a wire spring. Alternatively, it can also be designed as a leaf spring.

Durch das Federelement 6 lässt sich bewirken, dass der Lichtkopf 1 gegenüber dem Halteelement 2 so schwergängig um die Drehachse D drehbar ist, dass er sich zwar durch eine insbesondere manuell aufzubringende Kraft zum Einstellen einer gewünschten Lichtrichtung drehen lässt, aber in einer eingestellten Drehposition zuverlässig verbleibt, solange keine äußere Kraft einwirkt. Dies ist vorteilhaft, weil so eine besonders einfache und dabei zuverlässige Einstellbarkeit der Lichtabgaberichtung der Leuchte ermöglicht ist. Diese Wirkung lässt sich insbesondere durch entsprechende Auslegung der Form des Federelements 6 im unbelasteten Zustand sowie die Drahtstärke erzielen. Dies bedeutet, dass durch entsprechende Wahl des Federelements 6 die auf die Gelenkzapfen 3 ausgeübte Klemmkraft bedarfsweise angepasst werden kann.The spring element 6 can cause the light head 1 to be rotatable about the axis of rotation D with respect to the holding element 2 so that it can be rotated by a force that is particularly manually applied to set a desired direction of light, but remains reliably in a set rotational position as long as no external force acts. This is advantageous because it enables the light output direction of the lamp to be adjusted in a particularly simple and reliable manner. This effect can be achieved in particular by appropriate design of the shape of the spring element 6 in the unloaded state and the wire thickness. This means that by appropriate selection of the spring element 6, the clamping force exerted on the pivot pins 3 can be adapted as required.

Vorzugsweise weist das Federelement 6 in erster Näherung eine U-Form auf, wobei die beiden U-Schenkel nach unten weisen und aufgrund der elastischen Eigenschaft des Federelements 6 von außen gegen die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 drücken, wie in Fig. 1 durch zwei Pfeile angedeutet.The spring element 6 preferably has a U-shape in a first approximation, with the two U-legs pointing downwards and, due to the elastic property of the spring element 6, pressing from the outside against the two receiving jaws 4, 5, as in FIG Fig. 1 indicated by two arrows.

Vorzugsweise ist die Gestaltung weiterhin derart, dass das Federelement 6 über eine Rastverbindung R mit den Aufnahmebacken 3, 4 verbunden angeordnet ist. In Fig. 3, die eine Skizze zu einem zweiten Schritt des Zusammenbaus der Leuchte zeigt, ist das Federelement 6 deutlicher zu erkennen. Wie im gezeigten Beispiel der Fall, kann zur Realisierung der Rastverbindung R die Gestaltung vorteilhaft wie folgt sein. An jedem der beiden freien Enden der U-Schenkel des Federelements 6 ist jeweils ein Hakenelement 61, 62 gebildet, wobei die beiden Hakenelemente 61, 62 aufeinander zu gerichtet ausgebildet sind. Die Hakenelemente 61, 62 weisen also freie Enden auf, die mit Bezug auf die U-Form des Federelements 6 nach innen weisen. Weiterhin ist in jedem der beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 jeweils eine Aufnahmeöffnung gebildet, wobei jedes der beiden Hakenelement 61, 62 in jeweils eine dieser Aufnahmeöffnungen eingreift. Hierdurch ist das Federelement 6 zuverlässig an den beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 gehalten angeordnet.The design is preferably also such that the spring element 6 is arranged connected to the receiving jaws 3, 4 via a latching connection R. In Fig. 3 , which shows a sketch of a second step in assembling the lamp, the spring element 6 can be seen more clearly. As is the case in the example shown, the design can advantageously be as follows to implement the latching connection R. At each of the two free ends of the U-legs of the spring element 6 there is one Hook element 61, 62 formed, wherein the two hook elements 61, 62 are designed to face one another. The hook elements 61, 62 thus have free ends which point inwards with respect to the U-shape of the spring element 6. Furthermore, a receiving opening is formed in each of the two receiving jaws 4, 5, each of the two hook elements 61, 62 engaging in one of these receiving openings. As a result, the spring element 6 is arranged reliably held on the two receiving jaws 4, 5.

Vorzugsweise bestehen die Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 aus einem Kunststoff. So lässt sich erzielen, dass die Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 derart elastisch sind, dass sich der Gelenkzapfen 3 zum Zusammenbau der Leuchte zwischen die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 drücken lässt. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Gestaltung derart, dass die Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 und das restliche Halteelement 2 einstückig miteinander verbunden gebildet sind, was beispielsweise dadurch realisiert werden kann, dass das gesamte Halteelement 2 durch ein Spritzgußteil aus Kunststoff gebildet ist. Der Lichtkopf 1 mit den Gelenkzapfen 3 wiederum ist vorzugsweise durch ein Aluminiumdruckgußteil gebildet.The receiving jaws 4, 5 are preferably made of a plastic. It can thus be achieved that the receiving jaws 4, 5 are elastic in such a way that the pivot pin 3 can be pressed between the two receiving jaws 4, 5 to assemble the lamp. Preferably, the design is such that the receiving jaws 4, 5 and the rest of the holding element 2 are formed integrally connected to one another, which can be achieved, for example, in that the entire holding element 2 is formed by an injection-molded part made of plastic. The light head 1 with the pivot pin 3, in turn, is preferably formed by an aluminum die-cast part.

Zum Zusammenbau der Leuchte kann insbesondere Folgendes vorgesehen sein: In einem ersten Schritt wird - wie in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellt - der Gelenkzapfen 3 zwischen die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 gesteckt, insbesondere durch eine einfache nach unten gerichtete Steckbewegung des Gelenkzapfens 3, wie in Fig. 1 durch einen Pfeil angedeutet. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Gestaltung derart, dass die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 durch Wechselwirkung mit dem Gelenkzapfen 3 bei dieser Steckbewegung zunächst ein Stück weit elastisch auseinanderbewegt werden. Wenn sich dann der Gelenkzapfen 3 wie vorgesehen zwischen den beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 angeordnet befindet, ist die flächige Kontaktierung zwischen den Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 und der kreiszylindrischen Außenfläche 31 des Gelenkzapfens 3 hergestellt.In particular, the following can be provided for assembling the lamp: In a first step - as in Fig. 1 shown schematically - the pivot pin 3 inserted between the two receiving jaws 4, 5, in particular by a simple downward insertion movement of the pivot pin 3, as in FIG Fig. 1 indicated by an arrow. The design is preferably such that the two receiving jaws 4, 5 are initially moved elastically apart a little by interacting with the pivot pin 3 during this plugging movement. If the pivot pin 3 is then arranged between the two receiving jaws 4, 5 as provided, the flat contact between the receiving jaws 4, 5 and the circular cylindrical outer surface 31 of the pivot pin 3 is established.

In einem darauffolgenden, zweiten Schritt wird - wie ein Fig. 3 angedeutet - das Federelement 6 um die beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 herumgreifend angeordnet, also gleichsam aufgesteckt bzw. aufgeclipst, vorzugsweise durch eine, nach unten gerichtete Aufsteckbewegung, wie in Fig. 3 durch einen Pfeil angedeutet. Die beiden U-Schenkel des Federelements 6 werden dabei durch Wechselwirkung mit den Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 elastisch auseinandergebogen. Zum Abschluss dieses Schrittes werden die beiden Hakenelemente 61, 62 des Federelements 6 in die beiden Aufnahmeöffnungen der beiden Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 eingerastet.In a subsequent, second step - like a Fig. 3 indicated - the spring element 6 is arranged gripping around the two receiving jaws 4, 5, so as it were plugged on or clipped on, preferably by a downward push-on movement, as in FIG Fig. 3 indicated by an arrow. The two U-legs of the spring element 6 are elastically bent apart by interaction with the receiving jaws 4, 5. At the end of this step, the two hook elements 61, 62 of the spring element 6 are snapped into the two receiving openings of the two receiving jaws 4, 5.

Um das Federelement 6 besonders leicht um die Aufnahmebacken 3, 4 herum anordnen zu können, weisen Letztere vorzugsweise Anlaufschrägen auf, durch die die Hakenelemente 61, 62 und damit die beiden U-Schenkel beim Aufstecken des Federelements 6 auseinandergebogen werden. Die Anlaufschrägen können dabei - wie aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, vorteilhaft durch die Hakenelemente 61, 62 selbst gebildet sein. Hierzu sind die beiden Hakenelemente 61, 62 vorzugsweise mit ihren freien Enden nach schräg oben gerichtet ausgebildet.In order to be able to arrange the spring element 6 particularly easily around the receiving jaws 3, 4, the latter preferably have starting bevels through which the hook elements 61, 62 and thus the two U-legs are bent apart when the spring element 6 is attached. The run-up bevels can - like from Fig. 3 is shown, advantageously be formed by the hook elements 61, 62 themselves. For this purpose, the two hook elements 61, 62 are preferably designed with their free ends directed obliquely upwards.

Das Aufstecken des Federelements 6 kann gegebenenfalls durch Zuhilfenahme eines geeigneten Werkzeugs erleichtert sein.Attaching the spring element 6 can optionally be facilitated with the aid of a suitable tool.

Weiterhin kann die Leuchte einen weiteren Gelenkzapfen 3' aufweisen, und das Halteelement 2 weitere Aufnahmebacken 4', 5', sowie ein weiteres Federelement, wobei diese Elemente analog zu den entsprechenden beschriebenen Elementen Gelenkzapfen 3, Aufnahmebacken 4, 5 und Federelement 6 gestaltet sind und auch die Verbindung untereinander in analoger Weise vorgesehen ist. Der weitere Gelenkzapfen 3' ist vorzugsweise mit Bezug auf den ringförmigen Bereich 12 dem zuerst genannten Gelenkzapfen 3 gegenüberliegend gebildet. Vorzugsweise ist dabei die drehbewegliche Lagerung des Lichtkopfs 1 an dem Halteelement 2 lediglich über die beiden Gelenkzapfen 3, 3' gebildet.Furthermore, the lamp can have a further hinge pin 3 ', and the holding element 2 further receiving jaws 4', 5 ', as well as a further spring element, these elements being designed analogously to the corresponding described elements hinge pin 3, receiving jaws 4, 5 and spring element 6 and the connection to one another is also provided in an analogous manner. The further pivot pin 3 ′ is preferably formed opposite the first-mentioned pivot pin 3 with respect to the annular region 12. Preferably, the rotatable mounting of the light head 1 on the holding element 2 is only formed via the two pivot pins 3, 3 '.

Eine anmeldungsgemäße Leuchte weist zur Realisierung der drehbeweglichen Lagerung des Lichtkopfs 1 am Halteelement 2 vergleichsweise wenige Einzelteile auf, so dass der Zusammenbau erleichtert ist. Insgesamt ist so ein besonders einfacher und schneller Zusammenbau ermöglicht, was zu einer Reduzierung der Fertigungszeit führt.A luminaire according to the application has comparatively few individual parts for realizing the rotatable mounting of the light head 1 on the holding element 2, so that assembly is facilitated. Overall, a particularly simple and quick assembly is made possible in this way, which leads to a reduction in the production time.
