Description

Fastening piece for fastening a lighting device or part of it to light mounting holes in an electrical installation box or a building
Background of the Invention
The object of the invention is a fastening piece according to the preamble of Claim 1 for fastening a lighting device or part of it to light mounting holes in an electrical installation box or in a building, for example to light mounting holes in an interior or exterior wall or ceiling of a building or in a similar building structure.
The fastening piece that is the object of the invention is especially, but not exclusively, suitable for mounting a lighting device or part of it to a flush mounting box according to Finnish standard SFS 2283, which flush mounting box comprises two diametrically located tapped holes for fastening a lighting device to the flush mounting box. The fastening piece that is the object of the invention is also suitable for fastening a lighting device directly to the interior or exterior wall or ceiling of a building.
When fastening lighting devices to electrical installation boxes, it is known to use a separate fastening piece, which is first fastened by screws to an electrical installation box and to which the lighting device is then fastened. In addition, it is known to use such a separate fastening piece also for fastening a lighting device when the lighting device is not fastened to an electrical installation box but directly to the interior or exterior wall or ceiling of a building.
A fastening piece is known that is provided with first holes that can be used for fastening the fastening piece by screws to the tapped holes of an electrical installation box or to light fastening holes in a wall or ceiling of a building. This known fastening piece furthermore comprises second holes that can be used for fastening the lighting device to the fastening piece at pre-determined locations, for example holes or suchlike that have been made into the lighting device, by screws or similar mounting members.
This known solution entails the drawback that the lighting device can not always be fastened into the desired position for example in a ceiling or a similar part of a building. This is due to the fact that the position of the tapped holes in the electrical installation box or the mounting holes in the ceiling or wall of a building may be such that the fastening piece needs to be fastened to the electrical installation box into such a position that the lighting device then needs to be fastened to the fastening piece into an unfavourable position, for example slantwise to the room. This poses a problem especially when using elongated lights or similar rotationally unsymmetrical lighting devices, in which the position of the lighting device in respect to the room, for example, is significant. Since the electrical installation box is usually fixedly mounted to the building structure, for example embedded into the ceiling of a building, the problem can not usually be solved by turning the electrical installation box in such a way that the position of the mounting holes would become more favourable for the fastening of the lighting device. In case the light mounting holes that have been already provided in the wall or ceiling of a building are unsuitably positioned or if the light mounting holes made in connection with the light fastening operation are made into an incorrect position, the problem can be solved by drilling new mounting holes, but this requires extra work.
Brief Description of the Invention
The object of the invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem.
The object of the invention can be achieved by a fastening piece characterized by the features defined in the independent claim 1.
Preferred embodiments of the fastening device according to the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.
The invention is based on the division of the fastening piece into at least two fastening piece parts, which have been rotationally connected to each other; into a first fastening piece part comprising first fastening members for fastening the fastening piece to light mounting holes located in an electrical installation box or a building, and into another fastening piece part comprising second fastening members for fastening lighting device or part of it to the fastening piece. The fastening piece according to the invention is preferably, but not necessarily, formed as a separate part from the lighting device, and its specific function is to serve as a fastening member for the lighting device as it is being fastened to an electrical installation box, building or a similar structure.
Since the first fastening piece part is rotationally connected to the second fastening piece part, the relative positioning and location of the first and second mounting members to each other may be altered by turning the second fastening piece part relative to the first fastening piece part, hi this manner, it becomes possible to change the swivelling position of the second mounting members in respect to the electrical installation box or the ceiling or wall of a building after the fastening piece has been fastened to place. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to fasten the lighting device into the desired swivelling position irrespective of the swivelling position of the tapped holes of the electrical installation box or the positioning of the light mounting holes in the ceiling or wall of a building.
In a preferred embodiment of the fastening piece according to the invention the first fastening piece part is in a fixed manner connected rotationally to the second fastening piece part. This makes mounting more simple, since it is not necessary during the mounting operation to couple the first fastening piece member with the second fastening piece member and fasten them together.
