Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Lichtband-System nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a continuous line system according to the preamble of claim 1.

In insbesondere großen Räumen wie z.B. Sälen, Hallen oder langen Gängen, ist es üblich, zur Ausleuchtung des jeweiligen Raumes sogenannte Schienenleuchten bzw. Lichtbänder zu verlegen, die aus einer Vielzahl von jeweils in einer Reihe hintereinander angeordneten Leuchten oder Lichtbalken bestehen können, die am jeweiligen Träger, z.B. eine Decke oder eine Wand des Raumes, direkt oder mittels einer Tragschiene montierbar sind.In particular large rooms such. Halls, halls or long aisles, it is customary to emit so-called track lights or strip lights for illuminating the respective space, which may consist of a plurality of successively arranged in a row lights or light bars, which on the respective support, e.g. a ceiling or wall of the room, directly or by means of a mounting rail can be mounted.

In der DE 196 15 597 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art zum Kontaktieren der Leiteradern einer Durchgangsverdrahtung mit den Leiteradern von elektrischen Anschlußleitungen der Leuchten einer Schienenleuchte beschrieben. Dieses vorbekannte Lichtband weist einen aus einer Tragschiene und einer Abdeckschiene bestehenden insbesondere rechteckförmigen Längskanal auf, durch den sich die Drähte der Durchgangsverdrahtung erstrecken. Die Tragschiene und die Abdeckschiene sind durch eine Schnellschlußverbindung lösbar miteinander verbunden. In der Tragschiene ist eine Steckbuchse angeordnet und durch geeignete Mittel, z.B. eine Schnellschlußverbindung, mit der Bodenwand der Tragschiene verbunden. Die Steckbuchse besteht aus einem die Drähte in Schlitzen aufnehmenden Basisteil und einem der Abdeckschiene zugewandt angeordneten Deckelteil, das Steckbuchsenlöcher aufweist, in denen mit den Drähten verbundene Kontaktelemente angeordnet sind. Die Steckbuchse bildet ein der Tragschiene zugeordnetes erstes Steckverbindungsteil, das mit einem zweiten Steckverbindungsteil mit Kontaktelementen kontaktierbar ist, das an der Abdeckschiene befestigt ist und dessen Kontaktelemente mit der Lampenverdrahtung verbunden sind. Die Lampe ist bei dieser bekannten Ausgestaltung wie an sich bekannt in Steckfassungen gehalten, die von der Abdeckschiene nach außen abstehen. Bei diesem bekannten Lichtband ist es möglich, die Verdrahtung von der offenen Seite der Tragschiene her zu montieren.In DE 196 15 597 A1 discloses a device of the type described for contacting the conductor wires of a through-wiring with the conductor wires of electrical leads of the lights of a track lamp is described. This known light band has a consisting of a support rail and a cover rail in particular rectangular longitudinal channel through which extend the wires of the through-wiring. The mounting rail and the cover rail are detachably connected to each other by a quick-release connection. In the mounting rail a socket is arranged and by suitable means, e.g. a quick-release connection, connected to the bottom wall of the support rail. The socket consists of a wire receiving the slots in the base part and the cover rail facing arranged cover part having female holes in which are connected to the wires connected contact elements. The socket forms a support rail associated with the first connector part, which is contactable with a second connector part with contact elements, which is attached to the cover rail and the contact elements are connected to the lamp wiring. The lamp is held in this known embodiment as known per se in jacks, which protrude from the cover rail to the outside.

Dies führt zu einer wesentlichen Vereinfachung, da jeweils ein und dieselbe Leuchte unterschiedliche Funktionen ausführen kann.This leads to a significant simplification, since one and the same lamp can perform different functions.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein vorliegendes Lichtband-System zu vereinfachen.The invention has for its object to simplify a present light band system.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß bei einer sogenannten Durchgangsverdrahtung mit wenigstens zwei nebeneinander angeordneten, jeweils aus wenigstens zwei Drähten bestehenden Draht-Kombinationen unterschiedlicher Spannungen, z.B. einer Netzspannung und/oder einer Notlichtspannung und/oder einer Steuerspannung, die Leuchten bei längs und/oder quer versetzter Anordnung eines oder mehrerer ihrer elektrischen Kupplungsteile unterschiedliche Spannungen kontaktieren und unterschiedliche Funktionen ausführen können, wenn die Leuchten in unterschiedliche Stellungen montiert werden, wobei diese Stellungen jeweils zur Auswahl stehen.The invention is based on the finding that in a so-called through-wiring with at least two juxtaposed, each consisting of at least two wires wire combinations of different voltages, e.g. a mains voltage and / or an emergency light voltage and / or a control voltage, the lights in longitudinal and / or transversely offset arrangement of one or more of their electrical coupling parts contact different voltages and can perform different functions when the lights are mounted in different positions, these positions each to choose from.

Dabei können die Kupplungsteile der Draht-Kombinationen in der Längsrichtung der Leuchte versetzt und/oder quer nebeneinander angeordnet sein. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, daß die axial und/oder quer versetzten Kupplungsteile der Draht-Kombinationen sowie das Kupplungselement der jeweiligen Leuchte bezüglich einer sich rechtwinkelig zur Ebene der Draht-Kombinationen verlaufenden Mittelachse der Leuchte jeweils in einer solchen Position angeordnet sind, daß das Gegenkupplungselement in um 180° verdrehten Positionen mit den Kupplungsteilen lösbar verbindbar ist.The coupling parts of the wire combinations can be offset in the longitudinal direction of the lamp and / or arranged transversely side by side. It is advantageous that the axially and / or transversely offset coupling parts of the wire combinations and the coupling element of the respective lamp with respect to a perpendicular to the plane of the wire combinations extending center axis of the lamp are each arranged in such a position that the counter-coupling element in rotated by 180 ° positions with the coupling parts is detachably connectable.

Die Tragschiene 3 kann im Querschnitt eine U-Form aufweisen, wobei ihre Seitenwände 3b die Schenkel der U-Form und ihre Deckenwand 3c die Stegwand der U-Form bilden, oder sie kann die Form eines vorzugsweise viereckigen Rohres aufweisen, das durch die Bodenwand 3a, die Deckenwand 3c und die Seitenwände 3b gebildet ist. Bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung ist die Breite b der Tragschiene 3 größer bemessen, als ihre quer zur Ebene E gerichtete Tiefe t, wodurch die Seitenwände 3b Schmalseiten und die Deckenwand 3c eine Breitseite bilden. In der Deckenwand 3c ist jedem ersten Steckverbindungsteil 13a gegenüberliegend eine gemeinsame Steckausnehmung 21 für das zweite Steckverbindungsteil 13b oder mehrere Steckausnehmungen (nicht dargestellt) für die Steckerschäfte 17 vorhanden. In beiden Fällen ist das zweite Steckverbindungsteil 13b durch die Deckenwand 3c hindurch und in den Hohlraum der Tragschiene 3 eintauchend mit dem ersten Steckverbindungsteil 3a kontaktierbar.The support rail 3 may have a U-shape in cross-section, with its side walls 3b, the legs of the U-shape and its top wall 3c form the web wall of the U-shape, or it may have the shape of a preferably rectangular tube, through the bottom wall 3a , the ceiling wall 3c and the side walls 3b is formed. In the present embodiment, the width b of the support rail 3 is dimensioned larger than their transversely directed to the plane E depth t, whereby the side walls 3b narrow sides and the top wall 3c form a broadside. In the top wall 3 c, a common plug-in recess 21 for the second plug connection part 13 b or a plurality of plug-in recesses (not shown) for the plug shafts 17 is present opposite each first plug connection part 13 a. In both cases, the second connector part 13b through the top wall 3c and dipping into the cavity of the support rail 3 with the first connector part 3a contactable.

Die jeweilige Anordnungsstelle ergibt sich durch die Position des Steckverbindungsteils 13b am Leuchtenkörper 5.The plug recess 21 or a plurality of above-described smaller plug recesses in the hole pattern of the plug shafts 17 may e.g. be incorporated by punching the ceiling wall 3c at the respective specific locations at each of which a connector part 13b is arranged. The respective arrangement point results from the position of the plug connection part 13b on the lamp body 5.

Die Breite 1 und die Tiefe t1 des Schlittens 19 sind so an die zugehörigen Innenabmessungen der Tragschiene 3 angepaßt, daß der Schlitten 19 in der Tragschiene 3 mit geringem Bewegungsspiel längs verschiebbar ist, wobei die Bassischiene 3 eine Führung für den Schlitten 19 bildet. Um Verklemmungen und das Einführen des Schlittens 19 in die Tragschiene 13 zu erleichtern, sind die stirnseitigen Kanten des Schlittens 19 durch Kantenbrechungen 22, 23 bzw. Schrägflächen oder Rundungen gebrochen.The width 1 and the depth t1 of the carriage 19 are adapted to the associated inner dimensions of the support rail 3, that the carriage 19 is longitudinally displaceable in the support rail 3 with little play, the bass rail 3 forms a guide for the carriage 19. In order to facilitate jamming and insertion of the carriage 19 in the support rail 13, the frontal edges of the carriage 19 are broken by edge refractions 22, 23 or oblique surfaces or curves.

Der Leuchtenkörper 5 kann kastenförmig und im Querschnitt U-förmig sein, wie es Fig. 2 zeigt, oder rohrförmig sein, wie es Fig. 3 zeigt. In beiden Fällen weist der Leuchtenkörper 5 eine Bodenwand 5a und davon ausgehende Seitenwände 5b auf, die bei einer Rohrform durch eine Deckenwand 5c miteinander verbunden sind, während sie bei einer U-Form freie Stegwände sind. Wie Fig. 3 außerdem zeigt, sind die Ausnehmungen 21 bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel für die Wände 3c und 5c jeweils gemeinsam.The lamp body 5 may be box-shaped and U-shaped in cross section, as shown in FIG. 2, or be tubular, as shown in FIG. 3. In both cases, the lamp body 5 has a bottom wall 5a and side walls 5b extending therefrom, which are connected together in a pipe shape by a ceiling wall 5c, while they are free web walls in a U-shape. As also shown in Fig. 3, the recesses 21 in this embodiment are common to the walls 3c and 5c, respectively.

Die Schnellschlußverbindung 6 ist vorzugsweise eine Verrastungsvorrichtung 6a, deren Verrastungswirkung manuell überdrückbar ist, so daß der Leuchtenkörper 5 bei seiner Montage mit einer gewissen Montage- oder Demontagekraft, die größer ist als eine Verrastungskraft, in die Verrastungsvorrichtung 6a eindrückbar und zum Zweck des Lösens wieder herausnehmbar ist. Die Verrastungsvorrichtung 6a kann durch von den Seitenwänden 3b vorragende und insbesondere längs durchgehend verlaufende Verrastungsstege 3d an der Tragschiene 3 gebildet sein, die in der Längsrichtung vorzugsweise durchgehend verlaufende Verrastungskanten 5d an den Seitenwänden 5b in der Verrastungsstellung hintergreifen, wobei sie durch die gewisse manuelle Druck- bzw. Zugausübung seitlich elastisch ausbiegbar und somit überdrückbar sind. Das Einführen des Leuchtenkörpers 5 in die Verrastungsvorrichtung 6a kann durch Schrägflächen oder Rundungen an den Seitenwänden 5b und/oder an den Verrastungsstegen 3d vereinfacht sein. Bei der Ausbildung gemäß Fig. 2, bei der der Leuchtenkörper 5 U-förmig ist, können auch die Verrastungsstege 3d durch Einbiegen elastisch nachgiebig und somit überdrückbar sein.The quick-release connection 6 is preferably a latching device 6a, the Verrastungswirkung is manually überdrückbar, so that the lamp body 5 in its assembly with a certain assembly or disassembly force that is greater than a Verrastungskraft, pressed into the latching device 6a and removable for the purpose of releasing again is. The latching device 6a can be formed by latching webs 3d projecting from the side walls 3b and in particular running continuously through it longitudinally, which engage in the latching position preferably in the longitudinal direction, preferably continuously extending latching edges 5d on the side walls 5b, whereby they pass through the certain manual pressure. or Zugaus exercise laterally elastically ausbiegbar and thus überdrückbar. The insertion of the lamp body 5 in the latching device 6a can be simplified by inclined surfaces or curves on the side walls 5b and / or on the Verrastungsstegen 3d. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, wherein the Luminaire body 5 is U-shaped, and the Verrastungsstege 3d by bending can be elastically yielding and thus überdrückbar.

Das Steckverbindungsteil 13b ist am Leuchtenkörper 5 in dessen Längsrichtung vorzugsweise außermittig angeordnet, insbesondere in dessen Endbereich.The connector part 13b is preferably a lamp body 5 associated component, which is mounted on this, so that the lamp body 5 is movable with the connector part 13b against the support rail 3 and into the recess 21, wherein the connector part 13b contacted with the connector part 13a and the Quick connection 6 enters function and the lamp body 5 releasably secured to the mounting rail 3. The plug connection part 13b is preferably arranged eccentrically on the lamp body 5 in its longitudinal direction, in particular in its end region.

Da bei einem Lichtband 1 eines Lichtband-Systems eine Vielzahl Leuchten bzw. Leuchtenkörper 5 vorhanden sind, ist es zwecks Vermeidung einer Überlastung vorteilhaft, mehrere Phasenleiter der Durchgangsverdrahtung 11, z.B. drei Phasenleiter, hier die Drähte 12a, 12c, 12e und/oder 12f, 12h, 12j vorzusehen, an die die Leuchten in aufgeteilter Anzahl angeschlossen werden sollen. Für diesen Zweck ist dem Steckverbindungsteil 13a (nicht dargestellt) oder dem Steckverbindungsteil 13b eine Phasen-Wählvorrichtung 25 zugeordnet, die bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung durch eine Schiebeführung 26 für wenigstens einen Steckerschaft 17 gebildet ist, wobei die Schiebeführung 26 vorzugsweise rechtwinklig zum Lichtband 1 wahlweise in die Position eines Phasenleiters verschiebbar und in dieser Verschiebeposition lösbar arretierbar ist. Hierzu ist der wenigstens eine Steckerschaft als Schieber 27 ausgebildet, der in der Schiebevorrichtung 26 am Körper des Steckverbindungsteils 13b manuell verschiebbar ist. Die Schiebevorrichtung ist durch eine sich quer zum Lichtband 1 erstreckende, insbesondere hinterschnittene Führungsnut 28 gebildet, in der der wenigstens eine Steckerschaft 17 verschiebbar geführt ist, dessen Schieber 27 an die Querschnittsform der Führungsnut 28 angepaßt ist. Zum Arretieren in der gewünschten Schiebestellung, nämlich in der Kontaktposition mit dem gewünschten Phasenleiter, ist jeweils eine überdrückbare Klemm- oder Verrastungsvorrichtung 29 vorgesehen mit einer Rastausnehmung 29a und einer in diese einfassenden Rastnase 29b, die beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel am Schieber 27 angeordnet ist oder umgekehrt.Since a plurality of luminaires 5 are present in a continuous line 1 of a continuous line system, it is advantageous for the purpose of avoiding overload to connect a plurality of phase conductors of the through-wiring 11, e.g. three phase conductors, here the wires 12a, 12c, 12e and / or 12f, 12h, 12j provide, to which the lights are to be connected in a split number. For this purpose, the plug connection part 13a (not shown) or the plug connection part 13b associated with a phase selector 25, which is formed in the present embodiment by a sliding guide 26 for at least one plug shank 17, wherein the sliding guide 26 preferably perpendicular to the light band 1 optionally in the position of a phase conductor is displaceable and releasably lockable in this displacement position. For this purpose, the at least one plug shank is designed as a slide 27 which is manually displaceable in the sliding device 26 on the body of the plug connection part 13b. The sliding device is formed by a transverse to the light band 1 extending, in particular undercut guide groove 28 in which the at least one plug shank 17 is displaceably guided, the slider 27 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 28. To lock in the desired sliding position, namely in the contact position with the desired phase conductor, a überdrückbare clamping or latching device 29 is provided with a latching recess 29a and a latching nose 29b in this, which is arranged in the present embodiment on the slide 27 or vice versa.

Wie aus den Fig. 2 und 3 zu entnehmen ist, sind die Stecköffnungen 14 in den Steckverbindungsteilen 13a und die Stecker bzw. Steckerschäfte 17 an den Steckverbindungsteilen 13b aus Raumausnutzungsgründen in wenigstens zwei Reihen R1, R2 angeordnet. Bei einer Phasen-Wählvorrichtung ist es dabei vorteilhaft, daß in den Reihen R1, R2 jeweils zwei unverschiebbaren Steckerschäften 17 ein wenigstens über drei benachbarte Drähte 12 verschiebbarer Steckerschaft 17 folgt. Eine solche Anordnung läßt sich beim Vorhandenensein von nebeneinander angeordneten Steckverbindungsteilen dadurch in einfacher Weise verwirklichen, daß ein Steckverbindungsteil bezüglich des anderen um 180° verdreht angeordnet wird. Dies gilt sowohl für die Steckverbindungsteile 13a1, 13a2 als auch für die Steckverbindungsteile 13b1, 13b2.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the plug openings 14 in the plug connection parts 13a and the plug or plug shafts 17 are arranged on the plug connection parts 13b for space utilization reasons in at least two rows R1, R2. In a phase-selecting device, it is advantageous that in the rows R1, R2 each two immovable Steckerschäften 17 follows at least three adjacent wires 12 displaceable plug shank 17. Such Arrangement can be realized in the presence of juxtaposed connector parts in a simple manner that a plug connection part is arranged rotated with respect to the other by 180 °. This applies both to the plug connection parts 13a1, 13a2 and to the plug connection parts 13b1, 13b2.

Die vorbeschriebene Ausgestaltung des Lichtbandes 1 verbessert die Schutzart IP 65, so daß das Lichtband 1 staubdicht und strahlwassergeschützt ist. Diese Schutzart wird durch die vorbeschriebenen Ausgestaltungen der Tragschiene 3 mit der bis auf die Steckausnehmung 21 für das Steckverbindungsteil 13b durch die Deckenwand 3c durchgehend geschlossene Tragschiene 3 und auch durch die längs durchgehenden Verrastungselemente, nämlich die Verrastungsstege 3d, die durchgehend an den Seitenwänden 5b anliegen, verbessert. Im Stoßbereich der Tragschiene 3 und des Leuchtenkörpers 5 ist die Schutzart durch Dichtungen 24 gewährleistet.The above-described embodiment of the light band 1 improves the degree of protection IP 65, so that the light band 1 is dust-proof and water jet protected. This protection is achieved by the above-described embodiments of the support rail 3 with the except for the plug recess 21 for the connector part 13b through the top wall 3c continuously closed support rail 3 and also by the longitudinally continuous latching elements, namely the Verrastungsstege 3d, which rest continuously on the side walls 5b improved. In the joint area of the support rail 3 and the lamp body 5, the degree of protection is ensured by seals 24.

Die Montage der Lichtbandabschnitte 2 kann am Herstellungsort oder an der Baustelle erfolgen. Die Tragschiene 3, der Leuchtenkörper 5 und die Durchgangsverdrahtung 12 mit den Steckverbindungsteilen 13a werden jeweils soweit vorgefertigt und bereitgestellt, z.B. auf einer Rolle. Die Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 kann dabei jeweils an die Länge L der Lichtbandabschnitte 2 ggf. mit einem für die elektrische Verbindung erforderlichen Übermaß im Stoßbereich angepaßt sein oder einen langen Vorrat bilden. Wesentlich ist, daß die Abstände der an der Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 vorgefertigten Steckverbindungsteile 13a mit Schlitten 19 den Abständen der Ausnehmungen 21 voneinander entsprechen, die den Längen L entsprechen, jedoch zu den Stoßfugen 1a axial versetzt sind.The assembly of the light strip sections 2 can be made at the place of manufacture or at the construction site. The support rail 3, the lamp body 5 and the through-wiring 12 with the connector parts 13a are respectively prefabricated and provided so far, e.g. on a roll. The through-wiring 11 can in each case be adapted to the length L of the light band sections 2, if necessary with an excess required in the joint area for the electrical connection, or form a long supply. It is essential that the distances between the prefabricated at the through-wiring 11 plug connection parts 13a with carriage 19 correspond to the distances of the recesses 21 from each other, corresponding to the lengths L, but are axially offset to the joints 1a.

Die Montage der Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 mit dem wenigstens einen Steckverbindungsteil 13b erfolgt dadurch, daß sie längs in die Tragschiene 3 eingeführt wird, was durch ein Schieben und/oder Ziehen erfolgen kann. Dabei wird die Längsverdrahtung 11 soweit eingeführt, daß das Steckverbindungsteile 13a bzw. Schlitten 19 sich in der Längsposition der Ausnehmungen 21 befindet. Diese Position kann durch einen Bewegungsanschlag (nicht dargestellt) definiert sein, der z.B. durch die zugehörige Ausnehmung 21 in die Bewegungsbahn des Schlittens 19 ragt. Diese Festlegung kann durch in die Ausnehmungen eingesetzte Anschläge oder z.B. Rahmen erfolgen, die als Anschläge fungieren und mit Gegenanschlägen an dem gegenüberliegenden Steckverbindungsteil oder Schlitten zusammenwirken. Dabei können die so gebildeten Arretierteile auch in Löcher in den Steckverbindungsteilen oder Schlitten einfassen. Ferner kann eine solche Arretierung auch durch die Deckenwand 3c der Tragschiene 3 durchsetzende und in die Steckverbindungsteile 13a oder Schlitten 19 einfassende Schrauben erfolgen (nicht dargestellt). In der Querrichtung ist das Steckverbindungsteil 13a in der Tragschiene 3 durch deren Wände positioniert, die eine Querpositioniervorrichtung 31 bilden. Nach dem Einführen kann die Längspositionierung durch das oder die vorhandenen Steckverbindungsteile 13b erfolgen, die durch den formschlüssigen Eingriff in das zugehörige Steckverbindungsteil 13a eine Längspositioniervorrichtung 32 bilden.The assembly of the through-wiring 11 with the at least one plug connection part 13b takes place in that it is introduced longitudinally into the support rail 3, which can be done by pushing and / or pulling. In this case, the longitudinal wiring 11 is inserted so far that the connector parts 13a and carriage 19 is in the longitudinal position of the recesses 21. This position can be defined by a movement stop (not shown) which protrudes, for example, through the associated recess 21 into the movement path of the carriage 19. This determination can be made by inserted into the recesses attacks or eg frame, which act as stops and interact with counter-stops on the opposite connector part or carriage. The locking parts thus formed can also be enclosed in holes in the connector parts or carriage. Furthermore, such a lock can also pass through the ceiling wall 3c of the support rail 3 and into the plug connection parts 13a or slide 19 enclosing screws done (not shown). In the transverse direction, the plug connection part 13a is positioned in the support rail 3 through the walls thereof, which form a transverse positioning device 31. After insertion, the longitudinal positioning can be carried out by the existing plug connection part or parts 13b, which form a longitudinal positioning device 32 by the positive engagement in the associated plug connection part 13a.

Eine Demontage der Durchführungsverdrahtung 11 mit dem oder den Steckverbindungsteilen 13a erfolgt umgekehrt durch ein längs gerichtetes Herausziehen aus der Tragschiene 3.Disassembly of the feedthrough wiring 11 with the or the connector parts 13a is reversed by a longitudinal pulling out of the support rail. 3

In den Fig. 5 bis 13, bei denen gleiche oder vergleichbare Teile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen sind, sind unterschiedliche elektrische Anschlußvarianten und zugehörige Leuchten vorgesehen, die unterschiedliche Funktionen der Leuchten gestatten, wenn die Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 wenigstens zwei oder mehrere unterschiedliche, jeweils aus wenigstens zwei Drähten bestehende Draht-Kombinationen aufweist, z.B. einer Normalbetriebsfunktion und/oder einer Notlichtfunktion und einer Steuerfunktion.In Figs. 5 to 13, in which the same or similar parts are provided with the same reference numerals, different electrical connection variants and associated lights are provided which allow different functions of the lights, if the through-wiring 11 at least two or more different, each of at least two Wires existing wire combinations, eg a normal operating function and / or an emergency light function and a control function.

Bei der Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 5 weist die Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 eine 5-polige Netzspannungs/Draht-Kombination 31 mit einer Anschlußverbindung für einen Erdungsdraht 12g, einen sogenannten Nulleiterdraht 12i und einem von drei Phasendrähten 12f, 12h und 12j wählbaren Phasendraht auf. Außerdem weist die Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 eine Steuerspannungs/Draht-Kombination 32 auf, die bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung 2 x 2 Steuerbus-Drähte 12a, 12b sowie 12d, 12f umfaßt, jedoch auch weniger Drähte umfassen kann. Diese Anschlußanordnung kann an einem einzigen Steckverbindungsteil 13a oder an zwei Steckverbindungsteilen 13a1, 13a2 ausgebildet sein, wie es dargestellt ist. Entsprechend sind auch Steckverbindungsteile 13b1, 13b2 (13b) an der zugehörigen Leuchte Aa nach Fig. 6 ausgebildet, um an die Netzspannung und an die Steuerspannung angeschlossen werden zu können. Bei diesem Versorgungsanschluß kann die Leuchte Aa im üblichen Sinne betrieben werden, wobei gleichzeitig besondere Eigenschaften der Leuchte Aa durch die Steuerung angesteuert werden können, z.B. ihre Helligkeit im Sinne einer Dimmfunktion.In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the through-wiring 11 has a 5-pin mains voltage / wire combination 31 with a connection for a grounding wire 12g, a so-called neutral wire 12i and a phase wire selectable from three phase wires 12f, 12h and 12j. In addition, the through-wiring 11 has a control wire / wire combination 32, which in the present embodiment comprises 2 x 2 control bus wires 12a, 12b and 12d, 12f, but may also comprise fewer wires. This connection arrangement can be formed on a single plug connection part 13a or on two plug connection parts 13a1, 13a2, as shown. Correspondingly, plug connection parts 13b1, 13b2 (13b) are also formed on the associated light Aa according to FIG. 6 in order to be able to be connected to the mains voltage and to the control voltage. In this supply connection, the lamp Aa can be operated in the usual sense, at the same time special properties of the lamp Aa can be controlled by the controller, e.g. their brightness in the sense of a dimming function.

Bei der Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 7 weist die Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 die Netzspannungs/Draht-Kombination 31 und eine Notlichtspannungs/Draht-Kombination 33 auf, die ebenfalls nebeneinander liegen, wobei die Notlichtspannungs/Draht-Kombination 33 mit jeweils zwei Drähten, Not 1, Not 2 und einem Erdungsdraht E1 5-polig ausgebildet sein kann. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist das mit den Netzspannungs-Drähten verbundene Steckverbindungsteil 13a2 und das mit den Notlichtspannungs-Drähten verbundene Steckverbindungsteil 13a1 jedoch symmetrisch axial und quer versetzt angeordnet, wie es Fig. 7 zeigt. Entsprechend versetzt sind auch die den Steckverbindungsteilen 13a1, 13a2 zugehörigen Ausnehmungen 21 in der Deckenwand 3c und gegebenenfalls 5c angeordnet. Die zugehörige Leuchte Ab gemäß Fig. 8 weist dagegen nur ein Steckverbindungsteil bzw. das zugehörige Steckverbindungsteil 13b2 auf. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht es, die Leuchte Ab in zwei jeweils um 180° zur Ebene E verdrehte Stellungen an die Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 anzuschließen, so daß in der einen Stellung gemäß Fig. 8 die Leuchte Ab an die Netzspannungs/Draht-Kombination 31 und in der anderen Stellung an die Notspannungs/Draht-Kombination 33 angeschlossen ist. Dabei sind die Kontaktstellen für den Erdungsdraht und die übrigen Kontakte so anzuordnen, daß in jeder Stellung die Erdungskontakte und die jeweils zugehörigen übrigen Kontakte übereinstimmen, wie es Fig. 7 zeigt. Hierdurch ist es möglich, ein und dieselbe Leuchte Ab wahlweise als Normalleuchte oder als Notleuchte zu installieren. Für ein Lichtband 1 ist es ausreichend, wenn ein Teil der Leuchten, z.B. jede zehnte Leuchte als Notleuchte gemäß Fig. 9 montiert wird. Hierdurch ist bei geringem Aufwand eine preisgünstige Lichtbandanordnung möglich.In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the through-wiring 11, the power voltage / wire combination 31 and an emergency light / wire combination 33, which are also adjacent to each other, the emergency light voltage / wire combination 33 with two wires, Not 1, Not 2 and a grounding wire E1 5-pin can be trained. However, in this embodiment, the plug connection part 13a2 connected to the mains voltage wires and the plug connection part 13a1 connected to the emergency light voltage wires are arranged symmetrically offset axially and transversely, as shown in FIG. Correspondingly offset also the plug connection parts 13a1, 13a2 associated recesses 21 in the top wall 3c and optionally 5c are arranged. By contrast, the associated light Ab according to FIG. 8 has only one plug connection part or the associated plug connection part 13b2. This configuration makes it possible to connect the lamp Ab in two rotated by 180 ° to the plane E positions to the through-wiring 11, so that in the one position shown in FIG. 8, the light Ab to the mains voltage / wire combination 31 and in the other Position to the emergency voltage / wire combination 33 is connected. The contact points for the ground wire and the other contacts are to be arranged so that in each position, the ground contacts and the respective associated other contacts match, as shown in FIG. 7. This makes it possible to install one and the same lamp Ab either as a standard or emergency. For a light band 1, it is sufficient if a part of the lights, for example, every tenth light as an emergency light according to FIG. 9 is mounted. As a result, a low-cost light band arrangement is possible with little effort.

Bei der Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 10 weist die Leuchte Ac zwei Steckverbindungsteile 13b1, 13b2 sowie zugehörige Ausnehmungen 21 in der Deckenwand 3c und gegebenenfalls 5c auf, die entsprechend versetzt angeordnet sind und mit den Steckverbindungsteilen 13a1, 13a2 kuppelbar sind. Dabei sind die einzelnen Kontaktstellen für Erde und Nulleiter entweder an die Kontaktstellen der Draht-Kombination 31, 33 anzupassen oder so übereinstimmend anzuordnen, daß auch die Leuchte Ac in wahlweise um 180° verdrehten Stellungen montierbar ist. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht es, die Leuchte Ac sowohl an Netzspannung als auch an Notlichtspannung anzuschließen, so daß bei einem Netzspannungsausfall die Leuchte zur Notlichtleuchte benutzt werden kann. Eine entsprechende Netzspannungs/Notspannungs-Leuchte läßt sich auch bei einer Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 5 verwirklichen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 10, the luminaire Ac has two plug connection parts 13b1, 13b2 and associated recesses 21 in the ceiling wall 3c and optionally 5c, which are correspondingly offset and can be coupled to the plug connection parts 13a1, 13a2. In this case, the individual contact points for ground and neutral are either to the contact points of the wire combination 31, 33 adapt or arrange so consistent that the light Ac is mounted in optionally rotated by 180 ° positions. This configuration makes it possible to connect the lamp Ac both to mains voltage and to emergency lighting, so that when a power failure, the light can be used for emergency light. A corresponding mains voltage / emergency voltage light can also be realized in an embodiment according to FIG. 5.

Bei der Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 11 sind sowohl der Durchgangsverdrahtung 11 bzw. der Tragschiene 3 vier Steckverbindungsteile, nämlich jeweils zwei Steckverbindungsteile 13a1, 13a2 mit zugehörigen Ausnehmungen 21 längs - und quer versetzt bzw. nebeneinander angeordnet. Dabei sind eine z.B. 5-polige Netzspannungs/Draht-Anordnung 31, eine z.B. 4-polige Steuerspannung/Draht-Anordnung 32 und eine z.B. 5-polige Notspannungs/Draht-Anordnung 33 so angeordnet, daß eine der Draht-Anordnungen übereinander liegt und sich S- bzw. sinuskurvenförmig in der Längsrichtung so erstreckt, daß sie an der einen Kontaktstelle mit dem einen Steckverbindungsteil kontaktierbar ist und im Bereich der anderen Kontaktstelle mit dem seitlich gegenüberliegenden Steckkontaktteil kontaktierbar ist. Dabei kann diese sinusförmige Draht-Kombination zwischen zwei Amplituden um 180° gedreht sein wie es Fig. 11 zeigt, oder wahlweise auch nicht gedreht sein, wodurch sich weitere Positionsvariationen für die Kontaktstellen ergeben. Bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung erstreckt sich die Steuerspannungs/Draht-Kombination 32 somit zickzack-förmig über die Netzspannungs/Draht-Kombination 31 und die Notspannungs/Draht-Kombination 33, wobei im jeweiligen Überdeckungsbereich die den oder möglichen Steckverbindungsteilen 13b1, 13b2 entferntere Draht-Kombination nicht kontaktierbar ist, z.B. quer zu ihrer Ebene eingekröpft ist.In the embodiment according to FIG. 11, both the through-wiring 11 and the mounting rail 3 are four plug-in connection parts, namely two plug connection parts 13a1, 13a2 with associated recesses 21 longitudinally and transversely offset or arranged side by side. In this case, for example, a 5-pin mains voltage / wire arrangement 31, an example 4-pin control voltage / wire assembly 32 and a 5-pin emergency voltage / wire assembly 33 are arranged so that one of the wire assemblies is superimposed and S or sinuskurvenförmig in the longitudinal direction extends so that it is contactable at one contact point with the one connector part and in the region of the other contact point with the laterally opposite plug contact part is contacted. In this case, this sinusoidal wire combination between two amplitudes can be rotated by 180 ° as shown in FIG. 11, or optionally not be rotated, resulting in further position variations for the contact points. In the present embodiment, the control voltage / wire combination 32 thus extends in a zigzag shape over the mains voltage / wire combination 31 and the emergency voltage / wire combination 33, wherein in the respective coverage area the wire combination which is more remote from the or possible plug connection parts 13b1, 13b2 is not contactable, for example, is crimped transversely to its plane.

Die Leuchte Ad gemäß Fig. 12 weist entsprechende Steckverbindungsteile 13b2 auf ein und derselben Seite auf. Bei dieser Anordnung kann die Leuchte Ad an Netzspannung und Steuerspannung angeschlossen werden. Wenn diese Leuchte Ad um 180° gedreht wird, kann sie bei der Anschlußanordnung nach Fig. 11 an Notlichtspannung und Steuerspannung angeschlossen werden (Steckverbindungsteile 13a1).The luminaire Ad according to FIG. 12 has corresponding plug connection parts 13b2 on one and the same side. In this arrangement, the light Ad can be connected to mains voltage and control voltage. If this light Ad is rotated by 180 °, it can be connected in the terminal arrangement of FIG. 11 to emergency light and control voltage (connector parts 13 a1).

Eine Leuchte Ac nach Fig. 10 kann bei der Anschlußanordnung nach Fig. 11 an Netzspannung und Notlichtspannung angeschlossen werden.A lamp Ac of Fig. 10 can be connected in the terminal arrangement of FIG. 11 to mains voltage and emergency lighting.

Die Leuchte nach Fig. 13 weist drei Steckkontaktteile 13b1, 13b2 in einer in vorbeschriebener Weise längs und quer versetzten Anordnung auf. Diese Leuchte Ae kann gleichzeitig an Netzspannung, Steuerspannung und Notlichtspannung angeschlossen werden.The luminaire according to FIG. 13 has three plug contact parts 13b1, 13b2 in a longitudinally and transversely offset arrangement as described above. This lamp Ae can be connected simultaneously to mains voltage, control voltage and emergency lighting.

Bei allen vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen sind die einzelnen Kontaktstellen so übereinstimmend anzuordnen, daß in der jeweiligen oder in der jeweils verdrehten Position der Leuchte die zueinander gehörigen Kontakte passen und Verbindung haben. Wenn zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Kupplungsteile 13a1, 13a2 und/oder Gegenkupplungselemente 13b1, 13b2 nebeneinander angeordnet sind, können sie einstückig ausgebildet sein, siehe Kupplungsteil 13a und Gegenkupplungselement 13b.In all embodiments described above, the individual contact points are to be arranged so coincidentally that fit in the respective or in the respective rotated position of the lamp, the mutually associated contacts and have connection. If two juxtaposed coupling parts 13a1, 13a2 and / or counter-coupling elements 13b1, 13b2 are arranged side by side, they may be integrally formed, see coupling part 13a and counter-coupling element 13b.

Es ist vorteilhaft, die Steckkontaktteile mit einer Wählvorrichtung 25 auszubilden, so daß gegebenenfalls eine Übereinstimmung einstellbar ist. Bei der vorliegenden Ausgestaltung, bei der die Kontaktstellen in zwei Reihen R1, R2 angeordnet ist, kann die Wählvorrichtung 25 in der einen oder in der anderen Reihe R1, R2 oder in beiden Reihen R1, R2 vorgesehen sein.It is advantageous to form the plug contact parts with a selector device 25 so that, if appropriate, a match can be set. In the present embodiment, where the pads are arranged in two rows R1, R2, the selector 25 may be provided in one or the other row R1, R2 or in both rows R1, R2.

Es ist bei allen vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen vorteilhaft, zwecks zusätzlicher Verbesserung der Abdeckung bzw. Abdichtung des Hohlraumes der Tragschiene 3 die Ausnehmungen 21, die nicht mit einem Steckverbindungsteil 13b, 13b1, 13b2 besetzt sind, mit einem Verschlußteil abzudecken oder abzudichten. Hierzu kann jeweils eine Verschlußscheibe 35 z. B. in der Ausgestaltung und Anordnung gemäß Fig. 14 dienen, die die zugehörige Ausnehmung 21 abdeckt oder abdichtet. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 14 ist die Verschlußscheibe 35 lösbar mit der Deckenwand 3c verbunden, vorzugsweise durch eine Verrastungsvorrichtung 36. Die Verschlußscheibe 35 kann einen Einsteckansatz 37 an einer Breitseite aufweisen, der in die Ausnehmung 21 einsteckbar ist und darin z. B. klemmt oder vorzugsweise mit der Verrastungsvorrichtung 36 verrastbar ist. Dabei kann die Verschlußscheibe 35 einen Flansch 38 aufweisen, der den bezüglich des Hohlraumes äußeren Ausnehmungsrand der Ausnehmung 21 übergreift und dadurch nicht nur die Position der Verschlußscheibe 35 sichert sondern auch abdeckend und abdichtend wirken kann. Die Verrastungsvorrichtung 36 kann durch mehrere auf dem Umfang verteilt angeordnete Verrastungsnasen oder eine umlaufende Verrastungskante 39 aufweisen, die jeweils den Innenrand der Ausnehmung 21 hintergreift. Dieser Hintergriff braucht nur geringfügig zu sein. Aufgrund der vorhandenen Materialelastizität wenigstens im Bereich der Verrastungskante 39 läßt sich die Verschlußscheibe 35 mittels gerundeten oder abgeschrägten Einführungsflächen 41 in die Ausnehmung 21 eindrücken und verrasten und durch ein Herausdrücken, z. B. mit Hilfe eines den Flansch 38 untergreifenden Schraubenziehers, mit einem geringen Kraftaufwand aus der Ausnehmung 21 herausziehen. Die Verschlußscheibe 35 besteht vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff mit einer vorbeschriebenen Elastizität.It is advantageous in all embodiments described above, for the purpose of additional improvement of the cover or seal the cavity of the support rail 3, the recesses 21, which are not occupied by a connector part 13b, 13b1, 13b2, cover with a closure member or seal. For this purpose, a shutter disc 35 z. B. in the embodiment and arrangement of FIG. 14 are used, which covers the corresponding recess 21 or seals. In the embodiment of FIG. 14, the closure plate 35 is detachably connected to the ceiling wall 3c, preferably by a latching device 36. The closure plate 35 may have a Einsteckansatz 37 on a broadside, which is inserted into the recess 21 and z. B. jammed or preferably latched to the latching device 36. In this case, the closure disk 35 may have a flange 38 which engages over the cavity of the outer recess edge of the recess 21 and thereby not only secures the position of the shutter disk 35 but also can act to cover and sealing. The latching device 36 may comprise a plurality of latching lugs distributed around the circumference or a circumferential latching edge 39 which engages behind the inner edge of the recess 21. This rear grip need only be minor. Due to the existing material elasticity at least in the region of Verrastungskante 39, the closure plate 35 can be pressed into the recess 21 by means of rounded or beveled introduction surfaces 41 and locked and pressed by a squeezing, z. B. with the help of a flange 38 cross-screwdriver, with a small force from the recess 21 pull out. The closure plate 35 is preferably made of plastic with a prescribed elasticity.

Es ist im weiteren vorteilhaft, an allen möglichen, durch die unterschiedlichen Positionen der Steckverbindungsteile 13b bzw. 13b1, 13b2 Ausnehmungen 21 vorzusehen, so daß die Tragschiene 3 diesbezüglich für alle Positionen paßt.It is further advantageous to provide at all possible, through the different positions of the connector parts 13b and 13b1, 13b2 recesses 21, so that the support rail 3 in this regard fits for all positions.
