Abstract

The light unit has a universal base incorporating the components (3,4,5,10) for supporting and supplying the lamp and an interchangeable lamp fitting which is snap-fitted to the base. The base has a dished housing (8) with a cover (7) fitting over the lamp supporting and supplying components and made of a material which allows it to act as a reflector, or coated with a reflector material.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Leuchte, insbesondere eine Sicherheits- und Rettungszeichenleuchte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a lamp, in particular a safety and escape sign lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Leuchte ist aus der DE-A1 43 08 834 bekannt, wobei dort als Grundelement ein Montageblech wirkt, das erforderliche Komponenten für den Betrieb eines Leuchtmittels trägt und auf das ein spezielles Leuchtengehäuse aufschnappbar ist. Wobei das bestückte Montageblech noch keine funktionsfähige Leuchte darstellt.Such a lamp is known from DE-A1 43 08 834, where a mounting plate acts as the basic element, which carries the necessary components for the operation of a lamp and onto which a special lamp housing can be snapped. The assembled mounting plate is not yet a functional lamp.

Neben dieser bekannten Leuchte sind eine Reihe weiterer Notleuchten am Markt, die je nach Einsatzfall oder Designwunsch bezüglich nahezu sämtlicher Merkmale einer Leuchte individuell gestaltet sind. Die Leuchten unterscheiden sich z.B. in den Abmessungen, den konstruktiven Lösungen zur Befestigung von Stromversorgungsgeräten, Lampenfassungen, Anschlußelementen und Schutzabdeckungen.In addition to this known luminaire, there are a number of other emergency lights on the market which, depending on the application or design requirements, are individually designed with regard to almost all the characteristics of a luminaire. The lights differ e.g. in the dimensions, the constructive solutions for fastening power supply devices, lamp holders, connection elements and protective covers.

Dies bedeutet für einen Leuchtenhersteller, der unterschiedliche Leuchtenausführungen im Lieferprogramm führt, daß er eine Vielzahl von in sich kompletten Leuchten produzieren und bevorraten muß.For a luminaire manufacturer who has different luminaire designs in its delivery program, this means that he must produce and stock a large number of luminaires that are complete in themselves.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Leuchtengestaltung vorzuschlagen, die es ermöglicht, eine Serie von Leuchten für unterschiedliche Einsatzzwecke und entsprechend unterschiedlicher Gestaltungswünsche anzubieten, die auf rationelle Weise herstellbar sind.The invention is based on the object of proposing a luminaire design which makes it possible to offer a series of luminaires for different purposes and correspondingly different design requirements which can be produced in a rational manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Leuchte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved in a lamp according to the preamble of claim 1 by its characterizing features.

Die erfindungsgemäße Leuchtengestaltung bietet ausreichend Freiraum für individuelle Gestaltung bezüglich der ästhetischen Wirkung, während andererseits die technisch bedingten Merkmale der Leuchte quasi standardisiert sind. Dabei ist praktisch keine Einschränkung hinzunehmen, da sich aus Gründen des geringen Strombedarfs, des niedrigen Preises und der geringen Abmessungen ohnehin 8Watt-Leuchtstofflampen als Leuchtmittel in Sicherheits- und Rettungszeichenleuchten durchgesetzt haben. Da außerdem bei Rettungszeichenleuchten ein Seitenverhältnis von 2:1 vorgeschrieben ist, erleichtert dies in Verbindung mit der Wahl der genannten Leuchtstofflampe die Festlegung einer einheitlichen Leuchtengröße, wobei jedoch grundsätzlich auch andere Leuchtmittel einsetzbar sind.The luminaire design according to the invention offers sufficient freedom for individual design with regard to the aesthetic effect, while on the other hand the technical characteristics of the luminaire are virtually standardized. There is practically no restriction, because due to the low power consumption, the low price and the small dimensions, 8-watt fluorescent lamps have established themselves as illuminants in safety and escape sign luminaires. Since an aspect ratio of 2: 1 is also required for escape sign luminaires, this makes it easier to determine a uniform luminaire size in connection with the choice of the fluorescent lamp mentioned, although in principle other illuminants can also be used.

Die durch die erfindungsgemäße Leuchtengestaltung gegebene Quasi-Standardisierung bietet nicht nur bei der Fertigung und Lagerhaltung, sondern auch bezüglich Montage und Service Vorteile.The quasi-standardization provided by the luminaire design according to the invention offers advantages not only in production and storage, but also in terms of assembly and service.

Anhand von in den Zeichnungsfiguren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen wird nachstehend die Erfindung näher beschrieben.The invention is described in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing figures.

Design examples for luminaire attachments.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Universal-Leuchtenunterteil, das nachstehend als Grundelement 1 bezeichnet ist. Das Grundelement 1 weist ein wannenförmiges Gehäuse 8 mit aufgesetztem Deckel 7 auf, sowie Lampenfassungen 3, in die eine Leuchtstofflampe 2 als Leuchtmittel eingesetzt ist.Fig. 1 shows a universal lamp base, which is referred to as base element 1 below. The base element 1 has a trough-shaped housing 8 with a cover 7, and Lamp sockets 3, in which a fluorescent lamp 2 is used as a lamp.

Das Grundelement 1 wird vorzugsweise elektrisch isolierend in der Schutzklasse II ausgeführt, wodurch zusätzliche Schutzmaßnahmen für ein nachträglich aufzusetzendes Leuchtengehäuse, wie z.B. Schutzleiteranschlüsse, überflüssig sind. Das Grundelement 1 stellt eine funktionsfähige Leuchte dar, auf die unterschiedliche Leuchtenaufsätze 15 aufschnappbar sind, die beispielhaft in den Fig. 3 bis 5 dargestellt sind.The basic element 1 is preferably designed to be electrically insulating in protection class II, as a result of which additional protective measures for a luminaire housing to be retrofitted, such as Protective conductor connections are superfluous. The basic element 1 represents a functional lamp onto which different lamp attachments 15 can be snapped, which are shown by way of example in FIGS. 3 to 5.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein Grundelement in Explosionsdarstellung, wodurch weitere Einzelheiten sichtbar sind. Das wannenförmige Gehäuse 8 weist Befestigungslöcher 12, sowie Ausschnitte für eine Kabeleinführung 6 auf. An das Gehäuse 8 sind Deckelbefestigungen 9 angeformt, die in Ausschnitte 14 des Deckels 7 einrasten. Außerdem weist das Gehäuse 8 Anformungen 11 zum Aufschnappen eines Leuchtenaufsatzes 15 auf. Weiterhin enthält das Gehäuse 8 ein Vorschaltgerät 4 für den Betrieb der Leuchtstofflampe 2, sowie Anschlußelemente 10 und elektrische Verbindungsleitungen 5.Fig. 2 shows a basic element in an exploded view, whereby further details are visible. The trough-shaped housing 8 has fastening holes 12 and cutouts for a cable entry 6. Cover fastenings 9 are molded onto the housing 8 and engage in cutouts 14 in the cover 7. In addition, the housing 8 has projections 11 for snapping on a light attachment 15. Furthermore, the housing 8 contains a ballast 4 for the operation of the fluorescent lamp 2, as well as connection elements 10 and electrical connecting lines 5.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Vollkunststoffhaube, die entweder mit einer prismatischen Scheibe 17 oder mit einem Piktogramm 16 als Rettungszeichenleuchte ausgeführt sein kann.Fig. 3 shows an all-plastic hood, which can be designed either with a prismatic disc 17 or with a pictogram 16 as an escape sign luminaire.
