Definitions

  • GB-A-2194033 discloses a quick snap-on system for lamps in which a ceiling or wall mounted bracket is shaped so that a correspondingly shaped lamp body can slide onto the bracket, the lamp body and bracket being supplied complete with electrical connectors, the connection of which is made by virtue of the sliding action.
  • This type of assembly is useful for the removal and replacement of lamp bodies without requiring electrical connections to be rewired and re-made each time the lamp is replaced or removed, the connections being made automatically each time.
  • the PCB may be slightly extended to form a tongue portion provided with a plurality of conductive fingers, connected to the circuitry on the board, and forming the pins of the connector.
  • the contact positions on the PCB may be reinforced by allowing a build up of solder, or by fixing additional conductive (eg. metallic) fingers or strips to the PCB.
  • the lamp body is located and latched onto the bracket by means of suitable locating means such as lugs, catches and guides so that a snap-on connection is possible.
  • the bracket and body are designed in this preferred embodiment such that the lamp body is first latched onto the bracket in a position where electrical contact is not made between the PCB and bracket connector but so that the body remains in position upon the bracket. The body can then be moved by a relative sliding motion with respect to the bracket such that the PCB slides into electrical contact and makes and electrical contact with the bracket.
  • the first mechanical connection is made between the two bodies at which electrical connection is not made and then electrical connection is made by a relative sliding movement to complete the connection.
  • the two stage connection is desirable for safety purposes and also for enabling easy testing. It is often a requirement that during installation of a system such as an emergency lighting system, the cables are tested for open and short circuits. Equipment which is commonly used to carry out such tests can damage delicate electronics in modern luminaires and so therefore testing is usually done after cables are positioned but before a luminaire is connected. This can be inconvenient.
  • the brackets can be fixed in position, the cables connected and the luminaires mounted in position at the first stage of connection but not electrically connected. The cables can then be tested (for example at the end of each cable run) and if the test is successful, then the lamp body can be electrically connected.
  • connections 9 on the PCB may be formed by other means or materials.
  • the lamp body also include mechanical connection means in the form of a slide connector 10 mounted generally at one end and a clip connector 11 mounted at the opposed end.
  • the design of these may vary widely and their function is described further below.
  • the channel may comprise a slot or be of other configuration.
  • a locking mechanism to prevent unauthorised or accidental disconnection.
  • This may be achieved by a screw 20, or by other means, inserted through the base of lamp body 1 into bracket 12 and optionally through bracket 12 into the supporting wall or ceiling.
  • This screw may require a special tool to remove it and serves to prevent relative sliding movement of the lamp body and bracket whilst it is present.
  • Clip 12 may be provided with inwardly-directed resiliently mounted fingers 12a for example, the ends of which are forced apart by clip 11 when inserted or removed with a certain force greater than normal gravitational forces, retaining the clip when the lamp body hangs normally from a ceiling-mounted bracket but enabling the body to be forcefully pulled out when required.
  • the PCB 6 may be rotated into and out of cooperation with the channel 14, eg. horizontally.
