Description

Technology area

The present invention relates to devices and methods intended for use in the field of construction and lighting technology and can be used for mounting pendant lighting fixtures on a stretch ceiling.

State of the art

From the prior art, various methods and devices are known that allow fixing lighting elements in a stretch ceiling, as a rule, such devices are represented by the following composition of structural elements of the mounting element and its holder.

Most of similar solutions are presented either by complex designs or rather costly and / or complicated installation methods, for example, the solution according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 196403, the DEVICE FOR FIXING THE LUMINAIR IN A STRETCH CEILING, or the solution described in the WIPO application WO 2018002356.

Known DEVICE FOR FIXING SUSPENDED INSTRUMENTS according to RF patent No. 177123, containing a plate with a flat one side, on which fastening holes are made, located in the form of radially directed rows, on the other side of the plate there are T-shaped ribs aligned with radially directed rows of fastening holes, fastening pads, while the plate is made with a central hole, and holes are made in the plate between the T-shaped ribs with a perimeter that repeats the location of the outer edge of the plate, made in the form of a side on the side of the T-shaped ribs, the inner hole and the T-shaped ribs, and each mounting pad is located at the corresponding outer end of the T-rib. Installation of this device is carried out by attaching special suspensions at two or four points at the height required for installing the equipment. Then, to the specified suspensions using fasteners, respectively, is attached at two or four points (depending on the weight of the equipment to be installed) the claimed device for fastening the suspended devices through the fastening holes.

Known DEVICE FOR FIXING THE LAMP (VERSIONS) according to RF patent 139023, made in the form of a reinforcing element in the form of a truncated cone, on the inner side of the lateral surface of which there are at least two diametrical stiffening ribs protruding inward, forming the inner cavity of the reinforcing element, divided into sector with radial stiffeners, at least two of which are diametrically opposite and extend from the inner to outer diameter of the reinforcing element, each of the at least two radial stiffeners being made integral with a fixing platform located near the outer diameter and projecting inwardly with blind holes, while on the outer side of the lateral surface there are blind holes extending into at least two radial stiffeners and having a conical part expanding outward, and the fixing platforms have an elongated shape or the shape of a disk fragment with a flat side , perpendicular to the plane of the base of the truncated cone and directed outward relative to the reinforcing element, and the fixing platforms protrude from the inner side of the lateral surface of the reinforcing element perpendicular to the plane of the base of the truncated cone, are made with at least one blind socket extending parallel to the plane of the base of the truncated cone, and with guide collars on the outside of the fixing platform. The device is rigidly fixed by means of a metal perforated mounting tape or a plasterboard mounting hanger on the main ceiling by means of fasteners. The metal perforated tape is attached to the fixing platform at one end and to the ceiling at the other end. The ends of the perforated metal strip are aligned with the fixing platforms and rigidly secured by screwing the fasteners into the blind holes.

Also known is the UNIVERSAL DOUBLE-SIDED PLATFORM FOR MOUNTING LIGHTING DEVICES ON A STRETCH CEILING, described in the Patent for a useful model of the Russian Federation No. 161993, made in the form of a plate with attachment points to the main ceiling, on the outer surface of which fastening holes are made in the form of radially arranged rows the holder of the lighting device, while the attachment points to the main ceiling are platforms with sockets for self-tapping screws, the surface of the platform is recessed relative to the level of the outer surface of the plate, and the sockets are made from the outer and inner sides of the platform. The platform is attached using flexible hangers fixed to the platform by means of self-tapping screws either from the outside or from the inside.

The closest to the claimed solution are universal platforms of various diameters for installing lamps for stretch ceilings, both round and square or oval, with a cone-shaped or pyramid-shaped central part in the center of which there is a round hole installed by attaching flexible suspensions to them -implemented due to the use of perforated mounting tapes, fixed by means of self-tapping screws to the surfaces of platforms platforms located on opposite sides of each other.

The disadvantages of these known solutions are that:

These structures and their methods of fastening take quite a long time with the inconvenience, complexity and inaccuracy of installation due to the fact that fastening by means of a mounting tape through a hole with a self-tapping screw to the platform is carried out by a canopy by an employee who fixes the platform with one hand together with the tape with the other screws.

The complexity of dismantling the platform to eliminate defects and when replacing the product, it is necessary to disassemble the structure as a whole;

Fastening only by means of self-tapping screws does not have sufficient strength, the platforms may tear off from the plates or split the platform elements during assembly / disassembly.

Disclosure of invention

The technical problem to be solved by the claimed invention is a significant simplification of the process of mounting and dismantling the platform.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to simplify the process of installation and dismantling due to the self-tapping fastening of the mounting tape to the platform by threading through a separate hole followed by bending the tape.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution is achieved by the fact that

Proposed:

a method of attaching lighting fixtures to a stretch ceiling, which consists in attaching at least one mounting tape to the bearing surface, fixing the ends of the mounting tape in the platform body, by threading narrow sections of the tapes into the holes - the slots of the platform until they stop in the tape stoppers, further bending the narrow sections of the tapes;

and a device for attaching lighting fixtures to a stretch ceiling, which includes a platform with stiffeners and a central hole and a plate with attachment points to the main ceiling, while the edges of the plates intended for attachment to the platform are made at least 2 mm narrower than the width of the main part of the plate, and have a length of 8 mm, the platform contains holes - slots in the places where the plates are attached by 0.1-2 mm larger than their sizes, fastening the plates to the platform is characterized by the placement of a narrow part of the tape in the hole-slot in the platform until it stops in the transitions of the narrow part of the plate to the main one with a bend the protruding part of the plate.

Preferred options:

the plate contains elements for fastening wires;

the places for placing the folds on the body of the platform contain recesses for receiving the folded end of the plate;

on the reverse side of the recess for accommodating the folded end of the plate, stiffeners are better located.

The combination of the above essential features leads to the fact that:

- the processes of precise installation and dismantling of the platform are simplified;

- the possibility of tearing off the mounting tape from the platform is excluded;

- the reliability of fixing the platform as a whole increases.

Implementation and examples of implementation

The claimed invention is illustrated by figures 1-3, the device, as well as similar solutions, consists of a platform 4, which can be both round and square, can also be oval or rectangular. Platform 4 contains a central hole 1 for outputting wires or installing a lamp or a hood in the future, as in the prototype, platform 4 may contain platforms (not shown by the positions in the drawings) as stiffeners, remote elements and / or elements with sockets or holes 3 for fastening with self-tapping screws. The central hole 1 of the platform 4, as in similar solutions, can be cut out with a large diameter, due to the design of the platform body.

The platform 4 is intended for attachment to a vertical plane or any other bearing surface by means of suspensions - mounting tapes 10, fixed to the platform 4 at diametrically opposite points of FIG. 3, while the fastening can be carried out with one long mounting tape 10 so that the edges 11 are attached to the platform 4, and the central part with holes 8 to the vertical plane or several mounting tapes so that the edges 11 are attached to the platform 4, and the opposite edges to the vertical plane, it is possible to use 2 long mounting strips 10 located crosswise relative to each other, fastening to the vertical plane or any other bearing surface in this case is carried out through the central parts of both strips to the vertical plane.

The claimed device differs from the known solutions by the presence of holes 2 in FIG. 1, which are slots for attaching the suspension-mounting tape 10, the dimensions of the holes 2 are 0.2-1 mm larger than the cross-sectional dimensions of the ends 11 of the mounting tapes 10.

The hangers themselves - the mounting tapes 10 of Fig. 2 are represented by a rectangular profile, at both ends of which there are narrower sections 11 necessary for launching in the slot 2 of the platform 4. The length of the narrow sections 11 is from 8 mm, the transitions 6 of the narrow sections 11 to the main width of the mounting tape 10 should preferably be made at a right angle or a sufficiently large angle (more than 30 degrees) to form an abutment - stopper 6 when attaching the tape 10 to the platform 4. To secure the fastening-stop-stopper 6, the difference in the basic width of the mounting tape 10 with narrow edges 11 should be at least 2 mm for the formation of stoppers-stops at least 1 mm each, the most effective stoppers are stops from 2 mm each.

Additional holes 9 of the plate 10 are intended both for attaching additional elements or the plate to the plate, and for making the plate 10 flexible in this part of it. It is preferable that the sections of transition of the narrow parts of the plate to the main part were without holes-perforations, this adds rigidity to this section of the plate 10, and therefore increases the reliability of fixing the platform 4 on the tape-plate 10. There may not be holes in the narrow part of the plate 10 if available, they are intended for additional fixing of plate 10 to platform 4 or for attaching additional items

For ease of installation and increase the strength of the location of the bends on the body of the platform 4 of the narrow ends 11 of the plate 10 may contain recesses of a size that would slightly exceed the dimensions of the bending end 11 of the plate 10; to increase the strength on the reverse side of this recess, it is better to use additional stiffeners.

The fastening of the claimed device is carried out by the following procedure:

1) Fastening the mounting tape 10 to a vertical plane or any other supporting surface, for example, by fastening with self-tapping screws into the holes 8 of the central part of the tape 10

2) Both ends of the mounting tape 10 (more than one can be used) are folded down.

3) Fixing the wires with clamps 7 on the tape 10

4) Fastening the platform 4 to the tape 10 by passing the ends 11 of the mounting tape 10 into the corresponding holes 2 of the platform 4 until it stops against the stoppers 6 - the transitions of the narrow sections of the tape into the main width, the subsequent bending of the protruding ends 11 of the mounting tape 10

Dismantling of the device is carried out by removing the finished structure of the device (platform with suspension) from a vertical or other base (concrete) by unscrewing self-tapping screws, etc. Further, the wire clamps are bent, releasing the latter, and then the edges of the mounting tape are bent, followed by the separation of the platform and the tape.

Implementation example

The example below illustrates a variation of the claimed invention, but does not limit it.

The mounting tape is attached to a vertical, horizontal or any supporting surface (plane), for example, a concrete ceiling slab. When using one or two long mounting tapes, they are fastened by means of self-tapping screws through the central part; when using short mounting tapes, one standard non-narrow end of the tape is attached to the bearing surface (plane) with self-tapping screws. Further, the suspensions are fixed in the platform body by threading the narrow sections of the tapes into the holes-slots of the platform until they stop in the stoppers with further bending of the narrow sections of the tapes.

Thus, the claimed technical solution solves the following analog problems, namely:

Installation and dismantling of the platform can be easily carried out by one person;

Reliable and fast fixing or dismantling of the platform is carried out;

The strength of the connection between the suspension and the platform is increased.
