Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection system for mounting rails of lamp inserts, as they are used to form light bands.
  • Several mounting rails can be connected in series through the connection system and are still movable against each other.
  • Light bands are usually composed of a variety of elongated lights or lighting inserts, which are mounted frontally adjacent to each other. In order to enable alignment of the lights on the end faces, it is common in the art to connect the lights firmly together. For this purpose connection systems are known.
  • Luminaires that can be connected to form a light band, for example, from EP 0 710 796 B1 known.
  • the two end faces of adjoining lights are connected to each other with a screw connection in the direction of the lamp longitudinal axis together with a mounting flange for attachment to the wall or to the ceiling.
  • the connection is made by a screw connection in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the lights.
  • the screw connection also makes it possible to pivot the lamp about its longitudinal axis.
  • a disadvantage of the aforementioned system is that for pivoting the lamp, the screw must be at least partially solved. Furthermore, when pivoting individual lights there is a risk that a through-wiring, which leads from one to the next light, is damaged during pivoting.
  • the US patent application 2003/0081413 A1 further discloses an array of light housings wherein adjacent light casings are coupled together via a coupling.
  • the coupling is formed by a cylindrical element which is inserted into openings in the end faces of the lamp housing and has to move the lamp housing in the openings game.
  • the coupling is hollow and has a central bore through which electrical lines run.
  • connection system for luminaires of a lighting system in particular for mounting rails of such a lighting system that allows adjustment of the lights around its longitudinal axis and yet easy to handle and ensures high reliability with respect to the electrical wiring.
  • connection system according to claim 1 or by a lighting strip system according to claim 15.
  • the coupling has at least a first and a second bearing part, which engage in a rotatable manner, and each of the bearing parts is rigidly attached to a respective connector.
  • the first bearing part has a tubular portion which extends into a cylindrical opening of the second bearing part.
  • the tubular portion of the first bearing member may extend beyond the cylindrical opening of the second bearing member and be secured to the portion protruding from the cylindrical opening of the second bearing member.
  • the bearing parts are freely rotatable against each other in the preferred embodiment, but are secured together in the axial direction.
  • the locking device comprises a spring-loaded element, for example a spring-loaded ball or a pin, which acts under a bias on one of the bearing parts to frictionally or positively lock the coupling.
  • connection system with locking means locking recesses are provided on one of the bearing parts to cooperate with the locking device on the other bearing part.
  • the detent recesses may be, for example, round depressions into which the end of the locking screw engages positively.
  • a locking device in the form of a spring-loaded element for example, a ball can be pressed by a spring in the recess.
  • the latter has the advantage that the locking device for rotating the support rail does not have to be released by hand, but only a mechanical resistance must be overcome, which is defined by the strength of the bias acting on the spring-loaded element.
  • the embodiment of the Locking device with a screw has the advantage that the adjustment is completely blocked, so that an unintentional or independent adjustment of the support rail is excluded.
  • a bush is arranged between the first bearing part and the second bearing part.
  • the bush may comprise a hardened material so that the wear of the bearing surfaces is reduced with frequent movement.
  • a cover is arranged between one or both of the bearing parts and the respectively attached connector.
  • the cover is adapted to engage over the coupling and the face of the mounting rails mounted on the connector.
  • the cover preferably has an edge along its circumference, which is formed in accordance with the circumference of the mounting rail.
  • the cover not only serves aesthetic reasons, but also serves to prevent the ingress of foreign bodies and to protect against the sharp-edged ends of the support rail, which is made of sheet metal, for example.
  • each connector has at least one clamping element which is adapted for fixing the front-side portion of the mounting rail to the connector.
  • the clamping element is arranged in the connector. With a mounting rail slid onto the connector, the clamping element acts against the mounting rail from the inside through an opening in the connector in order to fix the mounting rail to the connector. The clamping element is thus not visible from the outside, so that it does not interfere with the visual impression of the light band.
  • the clamping element is displaceable by a screw, with which it is adjustably attached to the connector, against a portion of the support rail for applying a clamping force to fix the connector in a mounting rail.
  • the clamping element may be a plate which can be displaced outwards by a screw connection perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the light band. The plate can be pressed flat or with thorns from the inside against the mounting rail.
  • the invention further relates to a light strip system comprising at least one connection system and two support rails, which are attachable to this on two sides of the connection system.
  • a sheet metal section 6 is provided, which forms an end face of the connector on which the coupling can be mounted. For this purpose, holes are provided in the sheet metal section 6.
  • end faces 6 of the connector 2 are provided on which the coupling is preferably held positively and non-positively by at least one screw.
  • a central bore in the end face 6 is provided, in which the coupling 4 engages positively and in addition a further smaller hole outside the center, in which the coupling is secured against rotation with a further screw.
  • the coupling 4 comprises two bearing elements 16 and 18.
  • the first bearing element 16 has a tubular portion 20 which can be inserted into a cylindrical bore 22 of the second bearing element 18. Between the tubular portion 20 and the cylindrical opening 22, a bush 24 is still attached, which protects the bearing surfaces of the bearing elements 16 and 18.
  • a groove 26 is provided in the circumferential direction, in the assembled state of the clutch, a snap ring 28 is pushed. The assembled clutch is held by the snap ring 28 in the axial direction, while a rotational movement about its longitudinal axis is possible.
  • the first bearing member 16 has along its outer periphery a plurality of notches or depressions 30 which are circular in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the depressions are arranged at narrow angular intervals along the circumference of the first bearing element 16.
  • the bearing element 16 is overlapped on its outer side by the second bearing element 18.
  • In the second bearing element 18 is in the radial direction with an internal thread Provided bore 32 is provided, which lies opposite the recesses 30 in the assembled state of the coupling.
  • a grub screw 34 is screwed, and can be screwed into the hole 32 until the grub screw 34 engages positively in one of the recesses 30 of the first bearing element 16.
  • grub screw 34 which is also referred to as a locking screw
  • the rotational movement of the coupling element can be blocked by the positive engagement of the grub screw 34 with one of the recesses 30.
  • a plurality of recesses is provided, for example, at angular intervals of less than or equal to 45 °, preferably less than or equal to 15 °, along the circumference of the first bearing member 16 so that the coupling element can be locked almost in any rotation angle.
  • One end of the through wiring terminates in an electrical receptacle 37 which is snapped into holes on the top of the connector 2.
  • the through-wiring 36 can be plugged in to the next luminaire (not shown), and also connect the equipment of a luminaire.
