Description

The present invention relates to a set of conductive

  open electrical power, assembled on an arc of a circle, in a

  the particularly small space required to replace

  electrical conductors closed under a stick.

  Usually, the power supplies are made of closed conductors and eventually locally supplemented by open conductor parts called rail feed.

for luminaire.

  These open conductor parts are defined by

  precise standards in their different dimensions in order to respect the

security of the user.

  In order to allow the introduction of the connector plugs or socket, these conductors are assembled in parallel rows forming strip assemblies with low inertia in a plane and a large inertia in the perpendicular plane or the field of view.

  said band. This great inertia does not allow the achievement of

  for example, right angle radius. In addition, these strips of conductors are placed in a metal profile or other holding, realizing

so a straight and rigid set.

  It appears that the dimensions of the section of the

  seems thus realized are very important and in all cases far away from the section of the normal electric wooden rods or

  plastic containing closed conductors.

  In addition, the rail thus formed can not deform in both planes to match the curvatures and angles of the support of

  fixation that can be, for example, the wall of a housing. A circuit

  plex can only be achieved by splitting it into straight sections,

  then using elbow or tee couplers in different planes.

  fers, reassembled, causing as much break in the continuity of

  the active part of the drivers, and a very high cost.

  To overcome these disadvantages, the invention

  object a rail-rod feeding system for luminaire

  reduced by the very small dimensions compared to its power and the number of its drivers. This remarkable reduction is due to

  the arrangement of the conductors inside the rod rail.

  Figure 1, this example being non-limiting, has a rail assembly composed of two insulating sleeves each containing two conductors. The body of the rail being metallic, the assembly realizes a

  rail system consisting of four conductors plus ground for one

16 A at 250 volts.

  -2 - The conductors (1) and (2) are placed in sheaths

  insulating (3). These ducts of approximately circular section,

  feel a substantially equal inertia in all planes passing through their center of gravity. Openings are provided to access the S conductors using the flat pins of the connectors. If we print

  to these sheaths a torment, the openings close again, the sheath (3)

  its outer dimensions and can then take place in the rail (4). By removing the tortion, the lugs (5) and (6) then deviate and the sheath is trapped in the rod-rail (4). A second

  sheath can be placed in the rail by repeating the same operations.

  The insertion opening of the contact pins is placed tangentially

  to the driver. This provision is not exhaustive and it is pos-

  to consider this opening directly on the driver, the con-

  tact being then assured by the elasticity of the spindle. In the case of Figure 1, the contact is provided by the lateral elasticity of the driver

  free in his home. The pins of a connector are shifted

  geographically to respect the necessary distances between two parties

  active, in accordance with the standards in force.

  The drivers are placed on a circular arc in the

  inside of the rail-rod, which allows, despite the strict respect of the protection dimensions according to standards, to achieve a very reduced assembly shown in Figure 1. This example, non-limiting, allows to obtain in section for example the dimensions of 11 mm thick for 20 mm wide for

  the rail-rod assembly. In FIG. 1, the flexible cover (7) represents

  half-sighted closes the rail-rod in a zone without a connector

  or adapter. This rail-rod like a heath

  closed stands first on its support, the sheaths with the

  ductors being put in place after installation of the rod rail.

  Figure 2 shows the open rail and shows the

  connection of an adapter (11) or socket mechanically fixed to the

  rail-wand. The adapter is slid longitudinally to

  ge of the fixing bracket (12) and the rod rail (4).

  Various adapters, switch, connector, are provided, mounting on the rail, connecting to one or the other of

  two sheaths and mechanically attaching to the rod rail.

  The laying of a rail-rod power supply is carried out as follows: 1) placing the rail-rod (4) on the support: wall, baseboard, ceiling and fixing thereof by screws (8), collage or other depending on the nature of the support. Belts can thus be made 3 - in skirting for supply of plug or floor lamp at the top of wall for supply of wall or spot, in ceiling for chandelier supply or electric ramp, these belts being connected together by risers also realized rail-rod and through S single or double switches. Switch housings

  allow the wiring of the various electrical schematics of the

  tion. The electrical continuity of the rail-rod is provided by two pins (9) placed in the two rear grooves (10) which ensure

  also the mechanical alignment between two sections.

  2) Installation of insulating sleeves (3). These

  packaged in rolls like closed electrical cables are placed

  directly in the rod rail by torment to the advancement of

  Continuous and marrying the various shapes of the rod-rail. A conductor

  may be interrupted to install a switch. For this purpose, before inserting the sheath, extract the driver and cut it on

  the necessary length, the switch does not move.
