  • Learner the present invention relates to a light line system with a corresponding light line component.
  • Light line systems that allow a more or less flexible arrangement of different consumers, in particular lights along an elongate support structure, are known in different ways from the prior art. Many known systems are based on the use of what are known as mounting rail systems with an elongated mounting rail profile and a conductor rail held in the mounting rail profile.
  • a well-known continuous-row system constructed in this way is marketed by the applicant under the name "TECTON" and is characterized in that lights or other electronic loads can be positioned on the mounting rail in a particularly flexible manner over the entire length of the system be able.
  • This is made possible by the fact that, due to a special mounting of the cables of the busbar, they are seamlessly accessible to consumers over essentially the entire length of the light line system, so that the lines do not only make contact at fixed positions, as is often the case with other light line systems is, but can take place anywhere.
  • WO 2001/091250 A1 shows such a continuous-row system.
  • two busbars are arranged opposite one another on the inside of the two side walls of a U-shaped trunking profile that is open at the bottom.
  • the lines of these busbars are contacted by the lamp or, in general, the consumer having a rotatable contacting element, which is inserted into the mounting rail from below and then rotated by about 45°.
  • Contacts arranged on the contacting element are designed in such a way that they are pivoted out to the side as a result of the twisting and ultimately contact the lines of the busbars in the twisted state.
  • the contacting element is also designed such that it is for a mechanical interlocking with the mounting rail profile and thus ensures attachment of the light or the consumer to the mounting rail.
  • the previously known continuous-row components ie those units that can be releasably connected to the mounting rail in the manner described above, are usually designed in such a way that they close or cover the corresponding opening in the mounting rail after they have been attached to the mounting rail. Over the length of the corresponding light line component, this has the consequence that the corresponding conductors of the busbar or the busbars are no longer accessible and thus the connection of further components in this area of the light line system is prevented. Additional contacting options can only be created in these areas by complex measures, such solutions being based, for example, on modifying the mounting rail and/or the busbar(s) in such a way that the corresponding lines can also be contacted from a different direction. As already mentioned, however, such solutions are associated with a relatively high level of effort.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to offer a simple way of connecting additional components to a light line system, even if a first light line component, for example a lamp, has already been installed in a specific area of the light line system.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the idea of designing the light line component in such a way that although it can be connected to the mounting rail in the usual way and correspondingly connected to the lines of the mounting rail, it is essentially located on one or both sides of the mounting rail profile when installed and accordingly does not close the opening of the mounting rail. Only the parts of the light line component required for attachment to the mounting rail thus close the corresponding opening of the mounting rail. However, this then only takes place over a very short area in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail. Over the further length of the light line component, however, the mounting rail with the corresponding electrical cables remains accessible, so here additional components of a light line system can be connected.
  • Additional components can in particular be components that are not primarily responsible for light emission—even if this would of course be conceivable, for example, in the form of spotlights—but further increase the functionality of the light line system. Escape sign lights, emergency lights, cameras, loudspeakers, sensors or comparable units could be considered here.

  • the central idea of the present invention is therefore that, apart from the components required for attachment and contacting, all other components of the light line component are arranged laterally next to the mounting rail profile in such a way that they do not close its opening.
  • the light line component can also be designed in such a way that parts of the light line component are located in the mounting rail profile on both sides of the mounting rail profile when the fastening and contacting element is in place.

  • the fastening and contacting element is preferably designed as already known from the prior art.

  • the configuration of the fastening and contacting elements 15 could also be selected differently. While previously known lights that were intended to be connected to a corresponding mounting rail profile 3 used elongated support elements which covered the opening of the mounting rail 2 directly between the two fastening and contacting elements 15 and served to hold all other components of the light , It is provided in the present case that the area between the two fastening and contacting elements 15 is kept free as seen in the longitudinal direction. Instead, the lamp 10 according to the invention has, viewed in the longitudinal direction, only luminous bodies 20 which are arranged on both sides of the fastening and contacting elements 15 and via which the light is to be emitted.
  • the luminous bodies 20 are embodied as elongated bodies with an approximately rectangular cross section, which contain means for generating and emitting light, for example LEDs or the like, and are embodied in such a way that light is emitted over at least part of the surface of the luminous bodies 20 will.
  • a bottom surface or a side wall of the luminous element 20 can be designed to be correspondingly translucent in order to achieve light emission over this surface.
  • the corresponding luminous element 20 can also be designed to be adapted thereto. It would also be conceivable, in particular, for the two luminous bodies 20 to emit light over all side walls or at least also to emit part of the light upwards in order to achieve indirect light emission.

This makes it possible to actuate the two fastening and contacting elements 15 after the luminaire 20 has been placed on the mounting rail profile 3, i.e. to pivot or rotate them, and thereby to electrically contact the lines and mechanically fix them to the mounting rail profile 3. An electrical supply to the luminous elements 20 positioned at the side then takes place with the aid of corresponding electrical lines which extend from the fastening and contacting element 15 via the carrier element 30 to the luminous element 20 .

This carrier element can then be used to hold another busbar, which runs parallel to the actual mounting rail 2 and allows additional consumers to be connected easily. As a result, there would then be the possibility of creating additional connection options locally over the length of the light strip components designed according to the invention.

This can therefore continue to be used unchanged in the previously known form, with additional advantages being able to be obtained solely through the corresponding configuration of the light strip component according to the invention.
