Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holding device for the lamp holders a so-called. two-lamp lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Luminaires with elongated gas discharge lamps are in a wide variety Known forms.
  • the bracket and power supply for the gas discharge lamps takes place via sockets arranged on the end faces of the lights are each arranged in a holding device - the so-called socket holder.
  • socket holder there it is also known to have two gas discharge lamps in parallel in one luminaire to be arranged side by side to the amount of light emitted by the lamp to increase overall.
  • socket holders for two Use gas discharge lamp sockets which have the sockets and thus the two gas discharge lamps are at a greater distance from one another. Because of the larger distance, the efficiency of the Gas discharge lamps rise as previously explained.
  • the currently used The majority of two-flame socket holders are closely spaced Have versions, it would also be desirable to add new constructing frame holder in such a way that it puts in a state can be used, which corresponds to the previously used holder. This is therefore desirable, since the mounting of the holder with the Lamp sockets and the subsequent attachment to the support elements of the Shine automatically, i.e. with robots or appropriately trained Tools. To also use these expensive aids for the holder he would have to be able to use the lamp sockets that are further apart can be brought into an assembly position that that of the previous Socket holder corresponds.
  • This Patent describes a socket holder which consists of a box-shaped Base body exists on the support arms for holding a holder for one Gas discharge lamp can be attached.
  • a socket holder which consists of a box-shaped Base body exists on the support arms for holding a holder for one Gas discharge lamp can be attached.
  • the first state, in which the support arms are close together, could then be as Mounting position can be used, with the support arms after assembly with the lamp holders are transferred to a user position in which they are one have a further distance from each other.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object Holding device for holding two sockets for gas discharge lamps specify where there is a major change in the distance between the two Lamp sockets is possible.
  • the task is performed by a holding device, which has the features of Has claim 1, solved.
  • the holding device consists of a Base body and two support arms arranged on the base body for Each hold a socket for a gas discharge lamp.
  • the support arms are each pivotable relative to the base body, whereby to achieve a larger distance according to the invention their length is additionally adjustable.
  • the length can in particular be adjusted in that the support arms perform a translational movement with respect to the base body.
  • the translational motion implies that the two support arms themselves each have longer dimensions than previously common. Because of this longer length it is possible to further increase the distance between the two frames, than is the case with the holder according to GB 577,239. In particular can in the holding device according to the present invention, the aforementioned required minimum height for the installation reason more easily adhered to and still greater distance between the two lamp holders can be achieved.
  • the holding device thus opens up the possibility of Support arms with the lamp holders from a first mounting position, which the Arrangement of previous socket holder corresponds and in which the support arms with the Sockets can be loaded in a second user position, in which the Lamp sockets have the desired large distance from each other transfer, with the support arms to reach the user position from the Mounting position relative to the base body both a translational movement also perform a swivel movement.
  • This allows the previous tools for automatic assembly and loading of the holder also for the new one Holding device can be used.
  • the support arms preferably slidably mounted relative to the base body and point to this each have an elongated guide groove, in which one on the base body arranged guide pin engages. Can be on both ends of a guide groove then a latching opening can be arranged in each case, the of the sockets the pivot axes for the two are located more distant locking openings Define support arms.
  • a two-lamp luminaire 1 is shown, which is initially an elongated one Carrier element 2 for holding two fluorescent lamps 3.
  • the fluorescent lamps 3 are held on the carrier element 2 with the aid of two holding devices 4, each on the end faces of the carrier element 2 are arranged.
  • Each holding device 4 is used to store two Lamp sockets 5, in which the fluorescent lamps 3 with their ends are used.
  • the lamp holders 5 and thus the Fluorescent lamps 3 on a relatively large distance from each other. Because of this large distance, mutual heating of the Fluorescent lamps 3, which lead to a drop in lamp efficiency would be largely excluded.
  • the fluorescent lamps 3 claim thereby a somewhat larger room and no longer appear as one uniform light source, but this is due to the advantage of a larger one Lamp efficiency canceled.
  • the holding device 4 consists in essentially of a base body 10 to which two support arms 30 are attached, each a pot-like recess 32 for receiving a (not here shown) have lamp holder. Both the base body 10 and the Support arms 30 are preferably made of plastic and can in particular in Injection molding processes are made.
  • the two support arms 30 can one against the base body 10 Perform translational movement as well as a swiveling movement to move between the to change both positions shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b.
  • This mounting position is used to mount the sockets insert the gas discharge lamps into the recesses 32, the holding device 4 to attach to the support element of the lamp and the lamp holders with the Connect power lines. All of these steps are done automatically Robots or appropriately trained tools, with those for the previous Socket holders also used aids as intended Holding device 4 according to the invention can be used.
  • the holding device 4 in the in Fig. 2b shown user position are transferred, which takes place in that the two support arms 30 with respect to the base body 10 first one Downward translation and then an outward movement Carry out swiveling movement.
  • the downward translation movement initially causes an extension the support arms 30 and thus an increase in the distance between the lamp holders or the associated gas discharge lamps compared to the installation reason. This is at least subsequently due to the lateral pivoting movement partially canceled, as a result of the translational movement however, the support arms 30 are pivoted further outward than previously was possible.
  • the holding device 4 according to the invention thus enables despite The fact that the two lamp holders are very narrow in a first position are close together, setting a relatively large distance in the User position.
  • the translation and pivoting movements of the support arms 30 relative to the Base bodies 10 are made by special configurations of these two components of the holding device 4 according to the invention, which is subsequently based on the 3 to 11 are to be explained.
  • FIGS. 4-6 first show the structure of the base body 10, FIG. 3 in one Bottom view and FIGS. 4-6 in different perspective Representations.
  • the base body 10 initially consists of a box-shaped holding area 11 for the support arms 30, from the front of which a mounting tongue 12 extends.
  • the mounting tongue 12 is used to attach the base body 10 to the Carrier element of the lamp and has accordingly structured wall sections on. Furthermore, there are two locking projections 13 in the side areas of the assembly tongue 12 provided which with corresponding recesses on the support member of the Interact luminaire and cause a latching. This will make a unintentional sliding of the holding device avoided from the carrier element.
  • the holding area 11 of the base body 10 is arranged by a centrally Partition 14 divided into two receiving areas 15, each of the recording serve one of the two support arms.
  • the two receiving areas 15 will each surrounded by four side walls 14, 16, 18 and 22, the Partition 14 opposite end walls 16 each pulled upwards Have recess 17.
  • the recesses 17 allow the lateral Swiveling the support arms 30, as will be explained in detail later.
  • a circular latching opening 19 is arranged in each case
  • Side wall 18 extending recess 20 towards the top of the side wall 18 is continued.
  • the rear wall 22 is also located at the level of the latch opening 19 described above a circular, inwardly projecting guide pin 23 and - opposite from the locking projection 21 - a further, obliquely arranged locking projection 24, which also serves to lock the support arms in the user position.
  • a support arm 30 consists of an elongated arm 31 one end of which is a pot-like recess 32 for receiving a Lamp holder is arranged.
  • the recess 32 has in the present case Contour of a conventional fluorescent lamp socket, with in the side walls Openings 33 and 34 are arranged which respectively insert the socket facilitate later removal from the recess 32.
  • the front 35 of the arm 31 has a circular locking projection 36 as well two locking recesses 37 in the form of a parallelogram.
  • the Locking recesses 37 are on both sides of the central axis of the support arm 30 arranged in mirror image to each other, which has the advantage that this symmetrically designed support arm 30 both on the left and on the right side of the base body 10 can be arranged. It must accordingly only one type of support arms 30 are provided, whereby the effort in assembling the holding device is significantly reduced becomes.
  • Both latching openings 39a and 39b are on the outside of the rear wall 38 extending guide groove 40 connected to each other.
  • two locking slots 41 are also arranged, the two-sided Arrangement in turn due to the previously described desired symmetry of the Carrier arm 30 takes place.
  • openings 43 which extend from the upper end of the arm 31 to the recess 32 for the lamp holder extend and ultimately flow into this.
  • These through openings 43 serve guiding wires around the lamp holders with the To connect the power supply lines of the lamp.
  • the two support arms are 30 in a closely spaced position, being arranged vertically.
  • the guide pins 23 of the base body 10 each engage in the lower locking openings 39b on the rear walls 38 of the support arms 30.
  • the side walls of the recesses 32 of the support arms 30 on the partition 14 and on the lower edges of the locking projections 21 and 24 of the Base body 10 rest, is also a lateral fixation of the support arms 30 guaranteed.
  • the guide pin 23 of the base body slides 10 along the guide groove 40 of the support arm 30 until it enters the upper locking opening 39a engages.
  • the arm 30 also engages Arranged locking projection 36 in the opening 19 on the wall 18 of the base body 10 after having first been guided along the guide groove 20 of the base body has been.
  • the guide pins 23 When the translation movement is completed, the guide pins 23 thus engage in each case or latching projections 36 into the corresponding recesses 19 and 39a, whereby a secure mounting of the support arm 30 on the base body 10 is guaranteed.
  • the projections 23 and 36 or recesses 19 and 39a further define two pivot axes around which the two support arms now 30 can be pivoted laterally outwards, whereby they each in this Swing recesses 17 of the side walls 16 of the base body 10.
  • the support arms 30 are each pivoted outward until they are with their side walls 42 in contact with the upper edges of the recesses 17th reach. These are dimensioned such that in this position also the Locking projections 21 and 24 of the base body 10 in the middle of each Main body 10 oriented recesses 37 and 41 of the support arm 30 intervention. This engagement causes a firm locking of the support arms 30 in the shown in Fig. 2b user position by which an unintended Swiveling the support arms 30 is excluded.
  • the holding device 4 according to the invention can thus be simple and few Handles are transferred from the mounting position to the user position. There the locking of the two support arms 30 in the different positions and the Guidance during translation and swiveling movement only through the on the base body 10 and the support arms 30 arranged locking and Guiding elements takes place, no additional components are required to the to achieve the desired functions.
  • the present holding device is thus particularly characterized by its simple and inexpensive construction. At the same time, it offers the possibility the lamp holders and thus the gas discharge lamps automatically after one performed assembly at a very wide distance from each other and thus increasing the lamp efficiency.
