Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mounting set for hanging on horizontal or inclined ceilings or furniture parts, with high mechanical strength and good electrical contact.
  • the owner or tenant When moving into living, business or other rooms, the owner or tenant will find cables hanging from the ceiling, which lighting fixtures to hang, e.g. Lamps or candlesticks to feed with electrical current.
  • the cable strands of the lighting fixtures must be connected to the installation wires by means of lamp clamps and the lighting fixtures must be hung with a hook. This work is tedious and often requires the involvement of a specialist. This assembly and disassembly work must be repeated often, especially in rental properties.
  • the inventor has set himself the task of creating an assembly set for hanging lighting fixtures which can be used on horizontal or inclined ceilings or furniture parts.
  • the assembly set is intended to ensure high mechanical strength and good electrical contact, can be manufactured inexpensively and is easy to use, and can meet high aesthetic requirements.
  • the object is achieved in that the assembly set - A socket insert with brackets and fastened to the ceiling or to the furniture part, shielded with a cover - A compact plug housing with plug pins arranged according to the sockets, a manually operable holding device for positive and / or non-positive engagement with the holders of the socket insert and means for hanging the lighting fixture consists.
  • the socket insert of the assembly according to the invention is firmly mounted on or in the ceiling and is expediently left there when the owner or tenant changes and, of course, when a lighting fixture is replaced.
  • the socket insert is preferably flush-mounted, in particular using an inlet box common in the construction industry. If the lighting fixture is hung on a piece of furniture with a cantilevered part, which is rare in practice compared to hanging on horizontal or sloping ceilings, the socket insert can be easily screwed on.
  • socket insert is used as standard sockets, but the housing is omitted.
  • Sockets are standardized in every country, sometimes considerably different. However, this is not a significant disadvantage, the assortments can be arranged by country.
  • the socket inserts are preferably attached to the base with two mounting screws each. The same screws are used to make an inward or downward bend fixed rigid bracket attached.
  • These two retaining plates per socket insert are designed to fix the connector housing in a form-fitting manner.
  • openings are usually recessed in the holding plates, into which a nose of a counterpart belonging to the plug housing engages.
  • the lugs can also be integrally formed on the holding plates; in this case the corresponding counterpart is provided with an opening.
  • the thickness of the holding plates is preferably between 1 and 1.5 mm.
  • the socket insert is shielded with a cover which is matched to the plug housing in terms of size and appearance. Similar to the usual socket housings, the cover is attached to the socket insert by means of a screw. Of course, the cover must have holes for the 2-3 sockets and for the holding devices of the connector housing.
  • the shape and design of the connector housing preferably corresponds to the usual covers for connection points of lighting fixtures.
  • the outer contours can thus be essentially cylindrical, truncated or truncated cone-shaped.
  • the lateral surface has two diagonally opposite cutouts for manual, in particular one-handed actuation of the holding device.
  • the connector housing suitably consist of an electrically insulating material.
  • sprayable hard thermoplastics preferably polyethylene, or thermosets are used.
  • wooden or even metallic plug housings can be used, which in the first case have to be turned out and insulated in the second case.
  • the pins are, according to the sockets, in arranged in the middle of the connector housing. This central part looks like a normal plug.
  • the connector holding device expediently consists of two diagonally opposite locking levers. These can be pivoted through a small angle around an axis mounted in the connector housing.
  • the lever arm pointing in the direction of the socket insert has an inwardly bent nose if the holding plate has an opening.
  • the lever arm of the locking lever has a corresponding opening. In both cases, the nose and opening are in positive engagement, the housing is as stable as if it were anchored directly in the ceiling or in the furniture part.
  • the other lever arm of the locking lever facing away from the socket insert is visible through the corresponding recess in the connector housing.
  • This lever arm is broadened to a support surface in such a way that it can be operated comfortably with one finger.
  • the locking lever is either designed to be self-resilient or a torsion spring arranged about its axis causes a force which presses the locking lever onto the holding plate of the socket insert, the nose and opening interlocking.
  • a strain relief bracket for the cable leading to the lighting fixture is embedded on the side of the connector housing facing away from the connector pins.
  • the weight must not hang directly on the pins that are electrically connected to this cable. In the case of heavy lighting fixtures in particular, this can instead be hung from the electrical cable itself on a chain or the like, which is also fastened to the plug housing.
  • the cable wires or strands can be attached to the sockets and plug pins by means of all known systems.
  • screwless terminals are preferably used, for example according to DE-OS 34 02 870.
  • a pressure bracket essentially designed as a rectangular, short piece of pipe is guided over the tapered part vertically to the longitudinal direction of the socket or the plug pin.
  • This pressure bracket is dimensioned such that it lies against at least two opposite sides of the square or rectangular tapered part.
  • a spring arranged in the pressure bracket presses it against the tapered part with a third side.
  • the pressure bracket In the longitudinal direction of the socket or the plug pin, the pressure bracket is held on one side by the step formed between the socket or pin and the taper and on the other side by a guide plate.
  • This guide plate is preferably attached by means of a rivet connection to the rear end of the socket or the plug pin.
  • screwless clamp as disclosed in the context of the present invention is not limited to mounting hardware for hanging lighting fixtures. Rather, this screwless clamp connection can be used wherever a rail, a pin, a socket or the like is to be connected with a cable or a strand.
  • the assembled assembly set shown in FIG. 1 shows the flush-mounted version on the left, the surface-mounted version on the right.
  • the drawing is designed so that the socket insert is at the same height in both versions.
  • screws 14 are dowelled - not shown in FIG. 1.
  • the socket insert 20 is fastened by means of a mounting screw 18 penetrating the Z-shaped arm of the mounting plate 12.
  • a mounting screw 18 penetrating the Z-shaped arm of the mounting plate 12.
  • the sockets 22 are - in Fig. 1 for clarity not shown - connected to the corresponding wires of the electrical house installation.
  • the same mounting screw 18 is used to clamp a rigid holding plate 24 to the socket insert 20, which is bent inwards at the end pointing away from the ceiling.
  • a hood-shaped cover 26 made of a plastic protects on the one hand against unintentional electrical contacts and on the other hand fulfills aesthetic aspects.
  • the inlet box 10 is missing, the screw 14 only fixes the mounting plate 12 provided with Z-shaped arms.
  • the socket insert 20 and the holding plate 24 are in turn held by the mounting screw 18.
  • the cover 26 does not lie directly on the ceiling 16 here, but is supported in a step of a correspondingly conical retaining ring 28.
  • the connector housing 30 shown symmetrically in FIG. 1 consists of injection-molded polyethylene.
  • the contours are essentially frustoconical.
  • the base plate 32 facing the socket insert 20 is penetrated by the plug pins 34, which are common in electrical plugs and which are in contact engagement with the sockets 22.
  • These connector pins 34 are embedded in correspondingly designed parts of the connector housing 30 and are supported by partition walls 36.
  • the plug pins 34 are connected to the insulated, dashed wire wires 66 of the cable 38 leading to the lighting fixture via electrical contacts (not shown in detail here).
  • the holding device 40 designed as a locking lever 41 is about an axis 42 mounted in the connector housing 30 swiveling.
  • the lever arm 44 of the locking lever pointing in the direction of the socket insert is bent at the end to form a nose 46 which passes through an opening 48 in the holding plate 24.
  • the other, in longitudinal section Z-shaped lever arm 50 ends in or under a recess 52 in the connector housing 30.
  • the opposite recesses 52 in the jacket of the connector housing 30 are formed such that e.g. can be reached on one side with the thumb, on the other side with the index finger and the flat ends of the lever arm can be pressed together.
  • the lugs 46 of the locking lever 41 disengage from the openings 48 of the holding plates 24.
  • the disengaged position is indicated by dashed lines.
  • the connector housing 30 with the connector pins 34 can be removed by pulling.
  • the lugs 46 of the locking levers 41 slide along the surface 54 of the inwardly bent part of the holding plates 24 and, when reaching the opening 48, engage in the holding plate 24 thanks to the force developed by the torsion springs 56.
  • the position of the lever arms 50 in the cutouts 52 can be checked at a glance as to whether the lugs 46 have engaged.
  • a strain relief bracket 58 of conventional design is provided in a recess. So that the clamping screws 60 of these clips can be tightened or loosened and also the connector pins 34 and the holding device 40 are accessible, the connector housing 30 - not shown in FIG. 1 - is formed in two parts. A separating surface runs parallel to the plane of the drawing, by loosening a screw, part of the frusto-conical connector housing 30 can be separated.
  • a chain link 62 is pivotally mounted in a holder 61 for a support chain.
  • the essentially U-shaped top chain link 62 and the adjoining chain links enable the cable 38 to be relieved of the weight of the lighting fixture.
  • the assembly set shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to the German VDE standard with regard to the electrical plug contacts.
  • the flush-mounted version is shown on the right, the surface-mounted version on the left.
  • the elements of the assembly sets essentially correspond to FIG. 1.
  • the opening 64 for the installation cables, not shown, is shown.
  • FIG. 3 drawn with respect to the plug contacts 22 according to the German VDE standard, shows a socket insert 20 fastened by means of assembly rivets 19 is.
  • the nose 46 passes through the opening 48 in the holding plate 24 from the inside.
  • a resilient push button 94 is formed on both sides to transmit the force required for the release.
  • a push button is pressed simultaneously with the thumb and forefinger.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the connector housing can be made slimmer and the arrangement of push buttons has an aesthetically advantageous effect.
  • locking levers acting from the inside can be used with all connector standards.
  • FIG. 4 shows how a pressure bracket 68 consisting of a rectangular, short tube piece encompasses the end 70, which is square or rectangular in cross-section, of a socket or a plug pin.
  • a bore 72 is recessed in the tapered end 70. This bore 72 serves to guide a spiral spring 74, which at the other abuts a narrow inside 67 of the pressure bracket 68.
  • a spring guide 76 projects into the spiral spring 74.
  • the spring 74 presses the pressure bracket 68 with the inner longitudinal sides 69 snugly against the square or rectangular end 70 against the contact surface 78.
  • the pressure bracket is pressed by hand in the direction R and moved to the position shown in dashed lines. Now the wires or strands can be easily inserted. After release, the spring 74 presses the pressure bracket onto the wires or strands and these onto the contact surface 78.
  • the longitudinal section shown in FIG. 5 along the axis of a socket 22 or a pin 34 shows the guidance of the pressure bracket 68.
  • the pressure bracket 68 is by means of the step 80 falling towards the square or rectangular tapered end 70 guided.
