Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mounting rail system designed for connecting luminaires or other electrical units, wherein the mounting rail system comprises a mounting rail with an elongated support profile rail and with at least one electrical conductor extending longitudinally within the interior of the support profile rail.
  • the electrical conductor is preferably part of a so-called busbar.
  • Mounting rail systems with an elongated support profile rail and a conductor rail held in the support profile rail are known from the prior art and are used, for example, to implement elongated continuous lighting systems.
  • a known continuous lighting system is marketed by the applicant under the name "TECTON" and is characterized by the fact that luminaires or other electrical units can be flexibly positioned along the entire length of the system on the mounting rail. This is made possible by a special mounting of the conductors of the conductor rail, which are accessible to the consumers along essentially the entire length of the continuous lighting system, so that contact with the conductors can be made not only at fixed positions but at any point.
  • Such a continuous lighting system is used, for example, in the WO 2001/091250 A1 shown.
  • two busbars are arranged opposite each other on the two side walls of a downward-facing, U-shaped mounting rail.
  • the conductors of these two busbars are connected by a rotating contact element on the luminaire or, more generally, the device to be connected.
  • This contact element is inserted into the mounting rail from below through its elongated coupling opening and then rotated approximately 45°.
  • the contacts on the contact element are designed so that they pivot laterally when the element is rotated, ultimately making contact with the busbar conductors in the rotated position. Simultaneously, a mechanical locking mechanism is engaged, ensuring that the luminaire or device is reliably fixed to the mounting rail.
  • US 3,676,830 A lighting system integrated into a suspended ceiling.
  • a long mounting rail running within the ceiling, supplies power to the luminaires and carries three power cables. These cables can be connected to spotlights from below, and the mounting rail also features additional openings for connecting the conductors of surface-mounted luminaires positioned to the side of the mounting rail.
  • EP3664228A1 is the prior art closest to the independent claim and relates to a busbar system for luminaires with a mounting rail and a current-carrying profile arranged within the mounting rail, which has contactable wires or cables that run in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail and are connected to the consumers for current collection and/or for the transmission of control signals, wherein the mounting rail is designed such that a part of the wires or cables of the current-carrying profile can be contacted by further consumers from a second side of the mounting rail facing away from the first side.
  • the present invention is based on the objective of further developing a mounting rail system of the above-mentioned type in such a way that, compared to the prior art, even more flexible connection options for electrical units, i.e. for lights or other units such as sensors or the like, are enabled.
  • the mounting rail is designed such that, in addition to the standard contacting of the conductors via the elongated coupling opening of the mounting profile rail, an additional contacting option is provided.
  • the mounting rail having a further opening that is separate from or independent of the coupling opening.
  • a tap element which is part of a luminaire or other electrical device to be connected, or which is designed in such a way that it can be electrically coupled to a luminaire or other electrical device, can then be inserted into the mounting profile rail via this additional opening and The connection is made via a contact section with at least one conductor extending longitudinally within the interior of the mounting rail.
  • the tap element then has a provision element which is located outside the mounting rail.
  • the contact section is provided and electrically connected to it via an electrical connecting element to provide the electrical tap of the contact section via the external provision element.
  • This allows luminaires or other electrical devices to be connected via a second route using conductors running inside the mounting rail, whereby this connection does not require the use of the elongated coupling opening of the mounting rail.
  • This offers the advantage, for example, that such units can also be positioned outside the mounting rail at specific locations, while the elongated coupling opening of the mounting rail can still be used along the entire length of the mounting rail system for the arrangement of luminaires, for example.
  • This allows, for instance, the creation of a continuous light band extending the entire length of the system, through which light is emitted in a specific direction from the mounting rail system.
  • additional electrical components can still be positioned at desired locations on the mounting rail and connected to conductors for power supply and/or signal transmission. The design possibilities for the system are thus significantly expanded compared to previously known solutions.
  • the contact section providing the additional contact option has a rotary tap with contact elements.
  • This rotary tap is movable between an insertion position, in which the contact elements are retracted or pivoted inwards and the contact section can be inserted into the mounting rail via the opening, and a contacting position, in which the contact elements are extended or pivoted outwards to make contact with the electrical conductor(s).
  • the additional contact option is also provided for by means of a rotary tap, which is inserted at least partially – preferably substantially completely – into the mounting rail and then actuated or activated there in such a way that the conductor(s) are contacted.
  • the mounting rail system has a tap element which can be detachably inserted into the mounting rail via an opening separate from the coupling opening and electrically coupled to at least one electrical conductor extending longitudinally within the mounting rail via a contact section.
  • This contact section is part of a further busbar with contactable electrical conductors arranged within the mounting rail in the area of the opening.
  • the contact section has a rotary tap with contact elements, which is movable between an insertion position in which the contact elements are retracted or pivoted in, and a contacting position in which the contact elements are extended or pivoted out to contact the at least one conductor.
  • the tap element also has a provision element, which is provided externally with respect to the mounting rail and is electrically connected to the contact section via an electrical connecting element to provide the electrical tap of the contact section externally via the provision element.
  • a low-voltage supply voltage is provided via at least some of the electrical conductors of the further busbar.
  • the contact section in particular the rotary tap of the contact section, may additionally have mechanical locking elements which lock the contact section in the support profile rail in the contacting position of the rotary tap.
  • the rotary tap can be provided with a base element on which at least one contact element is adjustably mounted.
  • the connecting contact The contact holder is arranged on a contact mounting part which is adjustable relative to the base element, preferably with several detent positions defined for the positioning of the contact mounting part.
  • two connection contacts can be arranged on the contact mounting part, preferably opposite each other, the connection contacts then being adjustable relative to each other only in a fixed relation to the base element.
  • the connecting element responsible for the electrical connection between the contact section and the supply element can, for example, be in the form of a cable.
  • a rigid connection such as a so-called cantilever, as is known from spotlights connected to busbars, could also be used.
  • the opening providing the additional contact option is located on the side of the support profile rail facing away from the coupling opening. Since the coupling opening is typically oriented towards the underside, this means that the additional contact option according to the present invention is accessible from the top of the support rail. This particularly allows for the placement of additional lights or electrical components on the top of the support rail, outside of the rail itself.
  • the support profile rail has several such openings, which are preferably arranged longitudinally along the support profile rail, and more preferably evenly distributed.
  • the electrical conductor extending inside the support profile rail and intended for electrical connection via the coupling opening is therefore part of a busbar, which has a longitudinally extending support structure made of an insulating material.
  • This structure forms one or more elongated grooves, each containing the corresponding electrical conductor.
  • This can be, in particular, a busbar that is configured accordingly in the aforementioned manner.
  • WO 2001/091250 A1 The solution shown is formed.
  • a further busbar with contactable conductors is arranged within the support profile rail, particularly in the area of the additional opening(s), with the contact section of the tap element being designed to contact the electrical conductors of this further busbar. That is, in this case, to realize the additional contact option, electrical conductors running within the support profile rail are provided, which are exclusively intended for contact from the top or via the additional opening.
  • the conductors of the further busbar are arranged in elongated grooves of a bearing structure made of an electrically insulating material.
  • the busbar is preferably designed analogously to the solution used in the "TECTON" system. It is provided that a low-voltage supply voltage is made available via at least some of the electrical conductors of the further busbar.
  • the openings used to implement the additional contact option can be permanently formed on the support profile rail.
  • a cover is used to selectively cover the opening when it is not required for contact.
  • This cover can be rotatably and/or translationally movable, preferably longitudinally displaceable along the support profile rail.
  • the support profile rail has coupling structures via which The cover is mechanically coupled to the support profile rail and preferably movably mounted on the support rail. If one of the available openings is to be used for contacting conductors, the corresponding cover can be easily removed or moved away from the opening, thus providing free access to the interior of the support rail at that point.
  • the unused openings are sealed by the associated cover in a dustproof and preferably moisture-proof manner to protect the components located inside the support rail.
  • the support profile rail in such a way that the openings are only formed when needed.
  • the support rail could, for example, have corresponding material weakenings or cutouts that allow tabs to be broken out, thus enabling the support rail to be opened at a specific position, if contact with conductors is required at that position.
  • the support profile rail itself viewed in cross-section along its longitudinal axis, is preferably U-shaped or C-shaped, or possibly H-shaped.
  • the provisioning element can be designed such that it is an integral part of a unit to be connected to the mounting rail or allows for separate connection to a unit to be connected. It is therefore intended that an electrical component to be connected to the mounting rail either has a connection section for connection to the provisioning element or integrally incorporates the provisioning element.
  • the unit to be connected preferably has a mounting section by means of which the component can be mechanically coupled to the support profile rail, wherein the mounting section preferably has profiled sections in order to be mechanically coupled to the support profile rail or further coupling structures, preferably slidably along the support profile rail.
  • This mounting section can, for example, have a U-shape or a C-shape in order to at least partially grip the support profile rail, preferably for mechanical coupling with the support profile rail.
  • the additional components to be connected to the system can include, in particular, luminaires, such as spotlights, gooseneck luminaires, indirect luminaires, wallwasher luminaires, or emergency lighting/exit sign luminaires.
  • luminaires such as spotlights, gooseneck luminaires, indirect luminaires, wallwasher luminaires, or emergency lighting/exit sign luminaires.

  • Figures 11 - 14 First, the basic design of this well-known support rail system will be explained. Figures 11 and 12 These show views of the mounting rail with the conductor rails arranged within it. Figures 13 and 14 This again shows the design of a light fixture connected or to be connected to this mounting rail system.
  • the known support rail system 100 uses an elongated, U-shaped support profile rail 101, open at the bottom, which, with its two side walls 102 and the upper connecting wall 103, defines an elongated receiving space accessible from below via an elongated coupling opening.
  • a so-called conductor rail 110 or 120 is arranged on the inner sides of each of the two side walls 102 (in Figure 12 , which only shows the support profile rail 101, these are not recognizable), each of which has several longitudinally running wires or conductors 111, 121, which are in elongated
  • the conductors 111, 121 are arranged in channels or grooves 113, 123 of a conductor receiving structure 112, 122 made of an insulating material.
  • the channels 113, 123 ensure the secure storage of the conductors 111, 121 in such a way that they cannot be accidentally touched. At the same time, the channels 113, 123 are open to the interior of the support profile rail 101, thus allowing contact between the conductors 111, 121.
  • a luminaire 130 to be connected to this mounting rail system 100 then has at least one rotatably mounted contact or tap element 135, as is found in particular in the Figures 13 and 14 This is evident.
  • the tap element 135 is attached to the elongated support profile rail 101 from below, whereby the tap element 135 is inserted into the support profile rail 101 via the elongated coupling opening and then rotated by approximately 45°.
  • the contacts 136 arranged on the tap element 135 are designed such that they are pivoted laterally by the rotation and are then – as is particularly evident in Figure 13 It can be seen that the recording channels 113, 123 of the two busbars 110, 120 are being accessed in order to contact the corresponding conductors 111, 121.
  • the conductors 111, 121 of the two busbars 110, 120 are arranged such that they run parallel to each other in a vertical plane, one above the other, in the longitudinal direction of the mounting profile rail 101.
  • the tap-off element 135 of the luminaire 130 to be connected is designed such that the individual contacts 136, which are provided for contacting one of the two busbars 110, 120, are arranged one above the other on a common plane, with the position of a contact 136 corresponding to a (height) position of a conductor 111, 121.
  • contacts 136 are arranged on both sides of the tap-off element 135 in order to be able to contact the busbars 110, 120 positioned on both side walls 102 of the mounting profile rail 101. Because the contacts 136, with their contact housing and the attached cable, can be vertically displaced relative to the tap element 135, they can be positioned according to the desired conductor 111, 121, in order to then contact that conductor as required. This allows for the selection of both the phase and the neutral conductor. Depending on the number of conductors provided by the busbars 110, 120, these can then also be used for other purposes, such as communication.
  • lighting units In addition to the lighting units shown in the figures, other electrical units can also be connected to the mounting rail system. These could include sensors such as presence or brightness sensors, which support automated operation of the lighting system. Units that enable communication or data transmission independent of the lighting control system for other purposes would also be suitable for connection to the mounting rail system. Finally, a wide variety of luminaire types can be connected to the mounting rail together, fulfilling different lighting technology functions.
  • the units to be connected must generally be attached to the mounting rail from below.
  • the tap element is then inserted into the interior of the mounting rail via the coupling opening and makes contact with the conductors of the busbars.
  • the connected units must be arranged one behind the other. This results, for example, in the placement of a sensor interrupting the arrangement of the luminaires used for light emission. Therefore, creating an elongated, uninterrupted light strip, where light is emitted continuously along the entire length of the mounting rail system and which also incorporates additional components such as sensors, is difficult to achieve with state-of-the-art solutions.
  • the present invention therefore proposes a further development of the known principle, which leads to additional connection options, thus avoiding the problems described above in the prior art.
  • Figure 1 This shows first a support rail 1, which in its construction corresponds in many points to the solution known in the prior art.
  • the support rail 1 also initially consists of an elongated, U-shaped support profile rail 2 (a C- or H-shape would also be conceivable), which extends in a longitudinal direction L and defines an interior space I.
  • the support profile rail 2 is formed from a sheet metal part that is deformed such that two opposing, vertically oriented side walls 3 and 4 are formed, which are connected to each other via an upper central leg 5.
  • the support profile rail 2 is formed by several individual elements arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, which are connected to each other to form an elongated support structure. This allows a system of virtually any length to be realized.
  • busbars 10 and 20 respectively are arranged in elongated channels 13 and 23, respectively, which have electrical conductors 11 and 21 for contacting units to be connected to the busbar.
  • the conductors 11 and 21 are arranged in elongated channels 13 and 23, respectively, of a conductor support structure 12 and 22 made of an insulating material, so that the conductors 11 and 21 are protected from accidental contact on the one hand, and accessible from the interior 11 of the mounting rail 1 on the other, so that they can be contacted by a load connected to the mounting rail 1.
  • This load can be, in particular, as shown in Figure 14
  • the known luminaire 130 shown is designed as follows: it has a tap element in the form of a rotatable component, which is first inserted into the interior I via the coupling opening 6 of the support profile rail 2, which is limited by the side walls 3 and 4, and then rotated laterally to contact at least part of the conductors 11, 21 with appropriately designed contacts.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 Such a consumer is no longer represented.
  • the further development according to the invention now consists in the fact that additional conductors 31 run in the interior I of the support profile rail 2, which are part of a further busbar 30 that is arranged in the area of the connecting leg 5 of the support profile rail 2.
  • this The further busbar 30 has a total of four longitudinally extending conductors 31, with two of these conductors 31 arranged opposite each other symmetrically to the center plane of the support profile rail 2. This is, however, only an example, and the further busbar 30 could of course also have a different number of conductors 31 and a different arrangement of these conductors 31.
  • the busbar 30 is preferably designed such that it has a conductor support structure 32 made of an electrically insulating material, which forms longitudinally extending channels or grooves in which the conductors 31 are received. On the one hand, this ensures stable and reliable support of the conductors 31, and on the other hand, the risk of accidental contact with the conductors 31 can be virtually eliminated.
  • the arrangement of the additional busbar 30 in the upper inner area of the support profile rail 2 is achieved by the conductor support structure 32 having outwardly projecting wing-like webs 35 that engage in correspondingly profiled areas of the support profile rail 2.
  • Other types of support for the additional busbar 30 would, of course, also be conceivable.
  • this additional busbar 30 provides a separate means of contact.
  • at least one opening 8 is provided on the upper side of the support rail 2, i.e., on its connecting leg 5, which allows access to these conductors 31 of the additional busbar 30.
  • several such openings 8 are provided on the upper side of the support rail 2, distributed along the longitudinal direction L, so that contact with the conductors 31 is possible at least at certain regular intervals. A preferred distance between openings 8 would be 50 cm.
  • FIG. 1 A in Figures 1 and 2
  • the schematically depicted consumer 50 which is to be arranged on the top of the mounting rail 1, is now designed such that it is electrically connected to a tap element 55, which can be inserted through the opening 8 of the mounting profile rail 2 into the interior I, such that in the inserted position it contacts the conductor 31.
  • This tap element 55 Analogous to the tap elements provided for contacting the conductors 11, 21 of the busbars 10, 20, the tap element 55 could be designed in the form of a so-called rotary tap.
  • This means that the tap element 55 also has contact elements 57 on its base body 56, which, after the tap element 55 is inserted into the interior I of the support profile rail 2, are pivoted outwards so that they contact the conductors 31.
  • the tap element 55 is designed such that its dimensions fit within the corresponding area provided by the additional busbar 30 and allow it to contact the conductor 31. In this contacted state, the tap element 55 is then located completely within the interior space I of the support profile rail 2, just as is the case with the contact elements that are inserted into the support profile rail 2 via the coupling opening 6.
  • the tap element 55 is connected via a cable 58 to the actual unit 50 to be connected to the system 1, so that the electrical tap of the contact elements 57 can be used via the cable 58 outside the mounting rail 1, and in the illustrated embodiment is made available to the consumer 50 directly via a provision element in the form of a corresponding connection.
  • the tap 55 is a more direct component of the unit 50 to be connected.
  • the end of the cable 58 has a provision element in the form of a plug (not shown), which then enables a detachable connection to a unit to be connected to the system 1. This would make it possible to use differently configured consumers with the illustrated tap 55, provided that each of them has a have a corresponding socket for suitable coupling with the plug of cable 58.
  • a corresponding embodiment of this is shown in Figure 5 shown and will be described in more detail later.
  • the actual unit 50 to be connected is positioned longitudinally offset from the opening 8 and thus from the tap element 55 on the support profile rail 2.
  • the unit 50 can have mounting sections 51, shown schematically, which mechanically couple the unit 50 to the support profile rail 2 to enable fastening.
  • These mounting sections 51 preferably have profiled sections to be mechanically coupled to the correspondingly profiled structures of the support profile rail 2, whereby the coupling can, for example, be designed such that a displacement in the longitudinal direction L of the support profile rail 2 is permitted.
  • the tap element 55 in particular the rotary tap, additionally has mechanical locking elements which, in turn, lock the tap element 55 in the support profile rail 2 when the contact elements 57 are in the contacting position.
  • the illustrated solution according to the invention thus makes it possible to easily arrange additional units on the upper side of the support profile rail 2 and to connect these to conductors running inside the support profile rail 2. It is particularly preferred that, although the corresponding contacting or tapping element 55 is completely inserted into the interior I of the support profile rail 2, contact with the actual busbars 10 or 20 is nevertheless not obstructed.
  • the positioning of the additional busbar 30 in The upper area of the support profile rail 2 is therefore preferably designed such that the insertion of the rotary taps of the consumers or other units to be connected via the coupling opening 6 is still possible.
  • the actual contact from the underside of the support rail 1 is thus not affected by the further development according to the invention.
  • the solution according to the invention thus allows additional luminaires or other units to be arranged on the mounting rail 1 without interrupting units arranged on the underside.
  • the system is extended by a new connection level.
  • the first connection level represents the conventional connection option, which is made from the underside of the mounting rail 1 via the coupling opening 6.
  • the contacting according to the invention leads to a further, second level that enables the connection of units from the top, whereby both connection levels can be used independently of each other and, in particular, do not interfere with each other. Two conceivable application examples that further illustrate this concept are described in the Figures 3 and 4 depicted.
  • elongated lighting units 130 are arranged on the underside of the mounting rail 1 (in Figure 3 (which shows a perspective view of the system from above, not visible), which are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction L to achieve uninterrupted light emission over the entire length of the support rail system 1.
  • Figure 3 which shows a perspective view of the system from above, not visible
  • additional units can now be connected to the support rail system 1 from above in the manner according to the invention in order to assign additional functionalities or lighting functions to the system 1.
  • an additional emergency light 70 will be connected, which will provide minimum illumination in case of need, i.e., in the event of an emergency, for example, when the power supply to the lights 130 intended for normal light output is not guaranteed.

  • measures are provided that, in the event that the conductors used within the framework of the additional contacting option according to the invention provide a normal voltage of, for example, 230 V, measures are taken to prevent accidental contact with at least these conductors.
  • conductors 31 are therefore mounted in grooves or channels of a conductor support profile, analogous to conductors 11 and 21 of busbars 10 and 20, and the contacting element is designed such that the corresponding contacts are only extended after insertion into the support profile rail 2.

  • two of the conductors 31 1 provide a normal supply voltage and are therefore preferably mounted in a touch-proof manner as described above.
  • Two further conductors 31 2 provide a low-voltage supply voltage and are designed in this case such that they are mounted within a linear The insertion movement can be contacted accordingly. Therefore, there is no touch protection for this conductor 31 2 .
  • the tap element 55 shown schematically in its initial state in Figure a), has contacts 57 2 projecting towards the underside, which are intended for contacting the conductors 31 2 for the low-voltage supply voltage.
  • Two side views of the tap element in its installed state are shown in Figures b) and c).
  • the illustrated tap element 55 further consists in that it is designed in two parts and comprises two sub-components 551 (shown individually in a side view in Figure d) and 552 (shown in two side views in Figures e) and f)), each with its respective associated contacts 571 and 572 , respectively, which are designed to contact the corresponding conductor type and could also be used individually if necessary.
  • both sub-components 551 and 552 are each suitable for contacting only one conductor type, thus avoiding the risk of incorrect contact.
  • the tap element 55 is described in the Figure 7 shown, again with two pairs of conductors 311 and 312 , respectively, providing a normal supply voltage and a low-voltage supply voltage, respectively.
  • the tap element 55 is designed in two parts, with both subcomponents 551 and 552 being analogous to the variant according to Figure 6 They can also be used separately.
  • the arrangement of the conductors 31 1 for the normal voltage supply and the corresponding component 55 1 of the tap is designed such that, in every case, this component 55 1 is first inserted into the opening 8 according to Figure a) and then pivoted relative to a horizontal axis as shown in Figure b) in order to contact the conductors 31 1 with the contact elements 57 1.
  • the second sub-component 55 2 is inserted, which in turn, within the scope of a linear movement, then contacts the conductors 31 2 for the low-voltage voltage supply with the contact elements 57 2 .

  • Other arrangements or orientations of the sub-components 551 and 552 result in insertion into the opening 8 being blocked by its edge regions, as shown for two cases in Figures c) and f). This measure also contributes to preventing incorrect contact of the conductors.
  • the illustrated tap element 55 has a base element 60, which is essentially formed by an oval plate 62. In the assembled state, at least its edge region rests on the upper surface of the support rail profile 50 at the circumference of the opening (not shown in the figures).
  • a cylindrical projection 63 extends centrally towards the upper surface, from which the connecting cable 58, connected to the terminal contacts 57, protrudes.
  • web-like wings 63a and 63b are provided, which, in the form of handles, facilitate the rotation of the base element 61 and thus of the tap element 55 as a whole.
  • the cylindrical projection 63 continues as a hollow cylinder on the underside of the oval plate 62, forming a hollow cylindrical receptacle into which a height-adjustable contact holder 65 engages.
  • This contact holder 65 which is made of an insulating material, forms a vertically oriented, again cylindrical projection 66 that engages in the receptacle of the base element 60.
  • Outwardly projecting ring-shaped projections can be provided on the outside of this projection 66. These projections correspond to ring-shaped recesses on the inside of the cylindrical receptacle of the base element 60, thereby defining detent positions that establish different, preferred height positions for the contact holder 65.
  • On the underside of the contact holder part 65 two laterally projecting, oppositely directed holders 67 and 67 are formed, which then support the actual pin-like connection contacts 57. These are coupled to the end region of the connecting cable 58 via internally running conductors.
  • the contact holder part 65 is first moved into the desired position in the receptacle of the base element 60, corresponding to one of the predefined detent positions.
  • the connection contacts 57 and 57 are thus located at a fixed height relative to the underside of the oval plate 62 of the base element 60.

  • the position of the two fixed contacts 57 can be selected by simply adjusting the contact holder part 65 relative to the base element 60, such that in the pivoted state they selectively contact either two opposing conductors, 11, 21 of the busbars 10 and 20. Depending on the detent position of the contact holder part 65 relative to the base element 60, a different pair of conductors is then contacted.
  • This approach is particularly advantageous when the two opposing conductors of the mounting rail system have been assigned a specific function. This approach is therefore less suitable for the conductors used for power supply if phase selection is required.
  • the aforementioned additional functions generally require two conductors. Therefore, it is advantageous to position these opposite each other within the mounting rail 1.
  • the advantage of the illustrated tap element 55 is also that it occupies relatively little space, yet is still able to contact at least the upper part of the conductors 11, 22 of the busbars 10, 20 arranged on the side walls (of course, it would also be possible to connect the Figure 9 and 10 to use the illustrated tap element 55 to connect the conductor 31 to a separate, upper To contact the area used by the busbar 30, as is the case with the mounting rail in Figure 2 (is the case). Is the arrangement of the busbars therefore provided as described in Figure 10 As shown, the conductors could, for example, be arranged such that the upper section of mounting rail 1 contains conductors intended for additional functions.
  • a tap element could be used for the loads to be arranged on the underside of mounting rail 1, analogous to the one shown in the Figures 13 and 14
  • the illustrated tap element is designed according to the prior art, but a cylindrical receptacle for arranging a contact holder part 65 is provided in the upper area, as is the case with the tap element of the Figure 9 and 10
  • This contact holder component could then be used as an additional adapter, which is only required on the actual tap element if the connected device actually intends to use the additional functions. If, however, no additional functions are to be used, the additional adapter could be omitted, thus reducing the overall height of the tap element, which is then primarily intended to contact the lines for the actual power supply.
  • the solution according to the invention thus expands the possibilities of use of a mounting rail system in many ways, while the actual function and the possibility of arranging lighting units on the mounting rail system are not impaired by the additional measures.
