Definitions

  • the invention relates to a version, in particular for Fluorescent lamps.
  • screw-free terminal systems are increasingly used, around the individual components of the lamp electrically connect with each other. Screw-free terminal systems, such as insulation displacement contacts, are also at appropriate design automatically in a simple manner wire, but it may be desirable that if necessary, wiring can also be carried out by hand is.
  • Pre-assembled lights especially those with sockets for fluorescent lamps, usually indicate elongated case, the length of which is one Fluorescent lamp corresponds and at the ends of sockets are held for the fluorescent lamp, which is rectangular extend to the housing.
  • These versions can Damaged during transport. Besides, is due to the sockets extending away from the housing a correspondingly large packaging is required. The Transport costs are correspondingly high.
  • Such a lamp is, for example, from EP 0 658 720 Al known.
  • This lamp has an elongated, over the entire length of the lamp (Fluorescent tube) extending support rail. Their Ends are covered with end pieces. With the foreheads sockets for fluorescent lamps are provided.
  • the versions extend at right angles to the longitudinal extent the mounting rail away from it.
  • the required packaging volume is at least in one dimension from the sum of the height of the support rail and the version determined.
  • US-A-4874329 is a bulb holder known.
  • This has a socket housing on that on its outside with a screw thread is provided to the lamp holder in the usual way To be able to attach lamps.
  • the socket housing is so far to store stationary. It has an interior in the contact springs for connecting an incandescent lamp are.
  • These contact springs are on the back of the Socket arranged contact elements connected to Connection of stripped lines are used.
  • the contact elements have a wedge-shaped slot, in the stripped cable ends of the connecting cable are to be inserted.
  • a swivel bracket is provided on the back of the socket housing with one end pivoted is. Its other end is designed as a locking head. The swivel bracket presses in the stripped cable ends the contact openings of the connection elements.
  • the frame is divided into a fixed base section and allows in a socket section it, the socket section that is used to connect lamps, serves in particular of fluorescent lamps, movable to be stored, with lines to be connected by the immovable base section are held. Movements the frame section is thus transferred not on the lines.
  • the frame section is included movable between rest and use. The rest position is preferably set so that the socket portion is housed in a space-saving manner. This is for example the case when it is flat on a supporting frame Carrier rail lies. This gives rise to the State of the art significantly reduced transport volumes and correspondingly reduced transport costs.
  • the socket section directly on an element of the lamp, for example on one Carrier rail to store.
  • the base section and the Socket sections are then structurally separated. But when the frame section via a hinge on the Base section is stored, this version can be used without having to design the support rail a hinge, a support or The like is provided for the movable socket section should be.
  • the transfer of the frame section from his Rest position in its position of use can be both translational as well as in a swivel movement or as required also take place in a combined movement.
  • the Swiveling movement has the advantage that with a corresponding Design of the socket section as a two-armed lever a lever reduction for the line connection means can be achieved. Then it is possible to use electrical Contacting forces required in Not inconsiderable in the case of insulation displacement contacts are, by the other hand, slight attacks on the lever To apply manual labor.
  • the socket section is preferably in the form of two arms Angle lever trained.
  • One arm carries one Lamp connection socket, for example for holding a Fluorescent lamp and for the electrical connection of the same can be set up.
  • the line connection means are mounted on the other arm. This is a space-saving Base design possible, both the lamp connection socket as well as the line connection means the inside of the bell crank are arranged.
  • Insulation displacement contacts have as line connection means the advantage that there is no stripping of cable ends is required. In addition to cost considerations this means that the lamp manufacturer in the base section inserted lines a good Corrosion protection subject. The plastic insulation is only on site, i.e. when installing the lamp, when The customer is severed, the immediately electrically safe Insulation displacement connection is established. Even longer ones Transport or storage times are not a problem.
  • the lines are parallel in their respective connection area to one defined by the swivel movement Pivot axis mounted.
  • the insulation displacement contacts are in In this case, each with a flat, rectangular shape insulation displacement section oriented to the lines Mistake.
  • Each insulation displacement section has one Insulation displacement slot on which has a constant radius has the pivot axis.
  • the lines are at rest, i.e. when entering the insulation displacement slot.
  • a locking means secures the frame section in its position of use and thus also prevents the electrical contact, once made, on purpose or accidentally resolved. So that's it also possible the electrical contact point of forces to keep clear that act on the frame section. Such forces can be, for example, bending forces which are Inserting or changing lamps. This is ensured in particular when the locking means Are locking means that interact with the base and the socket section inseparable in its position of use lock as soon as it is transferred to it.
