Definitions

  • the invention relates to a recessed light which for Inclusion in cavities, especially in cavities of Ceilings, is determined.
  • a downlight is Subject of the preamble of claim 1 and for the rest described in DE 33 29 794 A1.
  • the mounting bracket of the DE 33 29 794 A1 recessed ceiling light instructs for support the inner surface (undercut surface) of the cavity
  • the ceiling of each building has a turnbuckle that is Arm is angled, which is in a threadless socket is held.
  • the threadless bushing represents the pivot bearing area of the rotary bolt and is on the external thread a rotatably mounted, but fixed in the axial direction, Axially adjustable threaded shaft.
  • the threadless socket according to DE 33 29 794 A1 takes in a secantial slot on a spring leg, which as Nut thread part in the external thread of the threaded shaft engages radially flexible pivoting.
  • the recessed luminaire known from DE 33 29 794 A1 is felt to be in need of improvement because of the advantageous quick adjustment of the rotary latch a two-hand operation requires, especially when engaging in Ceiling cavities are difficult.
  • the invention is based on the object to develop the known recessed luminaire so that it a quick and easy transfer of the rotating latch in its locking position securing the recessed light, that is, its quick and safe delivery.
  • the spring component is a pawl of the rotary latch locking against its axial infeed direction forms linear form locking.
  • the recessed light according to the invention works in advantageously as follows:
  • the rotary latch or the rotary latches are in their locking position pivoted outwards and in simpler Way against the undercut surface (ceiling inner surface) drawn.
  • the form straightening lock only allows in the axial infeed direction, i.e. only in one axial direction, an axial movement relative to the threaded shaft.
  • the spring component a leaf spring clamped on one side in the rotary latch, which with its free short edge into the external thread engages, at least the free end region of the Leaf spring with a surface line of the threaded shaft one forms an acute angle, its angular opening in the feed direction shows.
  • the one that forms the pawl of a linear form locking mechanism has spring component according to the invention in any case the function of one with the threaded shaft in threaded engagement located threaded nut, which secured against rotation is. In this way, what is held in the rotary latch Spring component depending on the rotation of the threaded shaft Move the locking bolt axially in the manner of a screw drive.
  • the thread engagement of the formed by a leaf spring Spring component can be improved in that the free short edge of the leaf spring one on the outer contour represents a recess of the threaded shaft, which, for example, has a round or V-shaped inner contour can have.
  • Another advantageous variant according to the invention is that the rotary latch over one of its axial infeed position removed in its axial range Locking position pivotable and one of the axial Infeed position adjacent axial area of at least extending axially parallel to the threaded shaft Guide surface held in its locked position is.
  • the rotary latch is one embodiment axial area distant from its axial infeed position pivotable into and out of its locking position Locked position in its unlocked position swiveling back.
  • the axial length of the axial infeed position adjacent axial guide surface is dimensioned so that the thickness differences at least from common ceiling panels considered.
  • rotary bolt counter Spring return force can be pivoted into its unlocked position is. Conversely, this means that the rotary latch during inserting the recessed luminaire into the recessed cavity held by hand in its unlocked position and swings out into its locked position as soon as the rotary latch is released.
  • a recessed ceiling light 10 only partially shown has a mounting bracket 11, which has two rotationally symmetrical Reflector parts 13, 14 owning lamp body 12 surrounds.
  • the lamp body 12 has a circular Frame 15, which is bridged by a bracket 16. From the only partially shown bracket 16 are only whose strap web 17 and one of a strap leg 18 in Fig. 1 shown. Each bracket leg 18 is by means of an attachment point 19 connected to the frame 15.
  • the frame 15 has a flange 20 which is attached the outer surface 21 of a ceiling panel 22 supports the Inner surface (undercut surface) bears the reference number 23.
  • Screw 26 is immovable along its longitudinal central axis L. held and also rotatable about its longitudinal central axis L. stored.
  • the axial securing of the screw 26 takes place that the screw head 27 on a stop 28 of the Frame 15 supports while at the upper end of the threaded shaft G, whose external thread is designated 29, a Threaded nut 30 is provided for axially securing the screw 26 is.
  • a Threaded nut 30 could also Seegerring, a split pin or a plastic cap used will.
  • the bearing holes 33 are in the fork leg 34 of the Twist lock D molded in.
  • the rotary latches D are useful made of injection molded plastic.
  • a spring component F In a wing 32 of a rotary latch D is in one angular insertion opening 36 a spring component F, and Although a leaf spring is held, which is a free straight Spring leg S owns.
  • the spring leg S also closes the surface line M of the threaded shaft G an acute angle ⁇ a, the angular opening O in the axial feed direction Z the rotary latch D points.
  • the axial guide surfaces 41 are of guide extensions 46 formed, which is attached to the top of the frame 15 are.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the free short edge 42 of the Spring leg S an on the outer contour of the threaded shaft G has adapted V-shaped recess 43, the inner edges 44 engages with threads 45 of the threaded shaft G.
  • the external thread has proven to be advantageous 29 to be designed like wood screws or self-tapping screws.
  • the use of the mounting bracket 11 is not on round recessed lights limited, but also at Ceiling lights from e.g. rectangular or square Basic shape possible.
