  • a well-known light line system is sold by the applicant under the name "TECTON" and is characterized in that lights or other electrical loads can be flexibly positioned on the mounting rail over the entire length of the system. This is made possible by the fact that due to a special mounting of the lines of the busbar, these are accessible to consumers over essentially the entire length of the continuous lighting system, so that the lines can be contacted not only at fixed positions, but at any point.

  • the object of the present invention is to provide a mounting rail of the type mentioned above which, in comparison to the prior art, enables even more flexible connection options for electrical loads, lights or other units.
  • the mounting rail according to the invention has a mounting rail profile which, with two side walls and a connecting wall connecting the side walls, encloses an elongated receiving space, on the side walls of which at least one busbar with contactable lines is arranged.
  • an additional conductor rail is now provided, which is arranged on the connecting wall of the carrier rail profile and also has lines that can be contacted. This increases the number of lines available, which expands the connection options for a wide variety of loads or lights and—as explained in more detail below—also allows a more flexible arrangement of lights or other electrical loads on the mounting rail.

These areas to be opened can be formed in particular by punchings or other incisions which form tabs that can be bent out or areas that can be broken out in the wall of the channel or the mounting rail profile. In this case, the lines that can be contacted are initially covered by walls of the mounting rail profile.

  • This busbar which is designed in a special shape and can also be used as an additional busbar in the aspect of the invention explained first, opens up the possibility of additional connection options for the mounting rail or the light line system realized with it, due to the fact that one of the areas is positioned back to build.

  • all three areas 33, 34 of the conductor rail 30 are preferably formed by a common line holding profile 31, which forms the channels or grooves 32 open to a contacting side for receiving the lines 35 in the manner described above.
  • the lateral areas 33 of the busbar 30 can only be contacted from the underside or the interior of the mounting rail 1, as was previously known.
  • the central region 34 which is set back and extends into the channel 8, is analogous to the exemplary embodiment in FIG figures 6 and 7 designed in such a way that, on the one hand, it can also be contacted from the receiving space 3, i.e. from the underside, and on the other hand, at least in sections, there is also the option, as indicated by the arrows, of connecting the corresponding lines 35 from the side, in particular from outside the mounting rail 1 to contact.
  • There are therefore more flexible contacting options for this middle area 34 in comparison to the areas 33 so that in turn there are additional options for arranging electrical components on the mounting rail 1 .
  • busbar 30 For the case shown that within the mounting rail profile 2 only the in figure 9 shown busbar 30 is provided, units to be connected to the mounting rail 1 from the underside can in turn be designed with relatively simply designed contacting means, since the contacts do not have to be designed to be movable, but the corresponding ones within the scope of insertion or attachment to the mounting rail 1 Contact lines 35.
  • further busbars can certainly be arranged on the side walls 4, in which case the consumers to be connected are then configured in the manner described above with corresponding contacting means, which on the one hand the lines of the busbar 30 and on the other hand the lines of the - not shown - side arranged busbars can contact.
