Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mounting bracket for ballasts or similar parts of a lamp a lamp housing.
  • ballasts for Luminaires with fluorescent lamps are generally needed by screw connection or similar fasteners anchored to the luminaire housing. If you use screws as Fasteners, this means when installing the Luminaire that mostly after inserting the ballast several screws have to be tightened. It is on the Hand that with the series production of lights Fluorescent lamps due to a rational to be sought Manufacturing every assembly process by people must be carried out leads to an additional effort.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a Fastening clip for fastening ballasts or similar parts of a lamp on a lamp housing to create a screwless attachment of the Ballast enables and thus one Rationalization in the manufacture of the lamp leads.
  • this mounting bracket for ballasts or the like Luminaire parts with the characteristic features of the Main claim.
  • this mounting bracket a top and one with this clasp-like over one Back part to a resilient approximately U-shaped in side view Bracket-connected lower part. Between the top and the lower part is an open jaw on one side educated.
  • the clamp is on with this jaw Housing plate of the lamp can be pushed on and captured at the same time part of the ballast, so that Ballast on the housing plate of the lamp is clamped. It is obvious that this assembly by simply sliding it open with one hand is easier than one screwing operation or even a multiple one Screwing process.
  • a preferred development of the invention Task solution provides that the bracket for attachment of the ballast or the other lighting part at least a tip and / or a sharp-edged bend having. This tip or bend clings to Slip on the housing plate and / or on a part of the ballast. This will paint the parts that usually made of sheet metal and painted, scratched and thus a protective conductor contact is made. Used one of several such peaks in different places of the Fastening clip, then you can have one at the same time Protective conductor contact to the housing plate of the lamp and Manufacture ballast simply by sliding the Clamp without another fastening process becomes necessary.
  • the mounting bracket can e.g. B. be designed so that two aprons bent down to the side of the lower part having. According to the front ends of these aprons a preferred embodiment inward Bends may be provided, preferably sharp-edged Have inner edges, which are then when sliding the clip establish the protective conductor contact.
  • the upper part in front angled upward bend having.
  • There are two free tips on this bend are, which are then in the Claw the housing plate of the lamp and the Establish protective conductor contact.
  • These tips can be from the Bend from obliquely down towards the plane of the lower part.
  • Tips also tips on the upper part in the rear area near the Provide back part, which upper part and lower part connects.
  • Preferably on the top are at the back and outside each formed peaks.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the invention provides before that a z. B. embossed Depression is provided and the mounting bracket on the Housing plate is pushed in the area of this recess. This ensures that the postponed Fixing clip is in this recess and as far as it protrudes through the housing plate on the ballast opposite side of the housing sheet not in annoying Way protrudes from the housing plate.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 The illustration shows a ballast 20 that with the help of clips 10 according to the invention on a housing plate 21 a lamp can be attached. It is only in the drawing the parts essential for understanding the invention shown, the remaining parts of the lamp not are shown.
  • the ballast attachment comes for Luminaires with fluorescent lamps of any kind are considered those ballasts on a housing plate of the lamp need to be attached.
  • the ballast 20 is located under the housing plate 21 if the lamp is, for example, a ceiling lamp is trained and attached to the ceiling. In this In this case, you have to turn Fig. 2 by 180 ° imagine so that the ballast 20 quasi hanging on the Luminaire plate 21 is attached.
  • this bracket is made from an upper part 12 and a lower part 15 which are spaced approximately parallel lie one above the other, formed, the two parts Upper part 12 and lower part 15 are interconnected and due to the material tension when bending the upper part 12 and Lower part 15 creates a spring force against each other Upper part and lower part press against each other and thereby at Sliding the clip 10 a resilient clamping action enables.
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 Clamp 10 according to the invention described in more detail. From Fig. 4 one can see quite well that the clip is an upper part 12 has and an almost flat lower part 15 which on a Side over the back part 16 (see also Fig. 5) with each other are connected so that there is a clasp-like or approximately U-shaped shape in side view for the clamp 10 results, each in the drawing according to FIG. 4 right ends of upper part 12 and lower part 15 are free and have no connection.
  • the top 12 is in the front area as you can see bent upwards, whereby by means of this bend 14, the clip 10 is pushed open the housing sheet is lightened, because between the Bend 14 and the lower part 15 is a kind Clamping mouth 25 formed, which then tapers further back.
  • the back part 16, the upper part 12 and the lower part 15 connected with each other represents a 180 ° bend.
  • the back part 16 of the clamp 10 has two free tips 13 obliquely down towards the level of the lower part 15 (see Fig. 4). These two tips can also be used quite well recognize in Fig. 6. Claw 10 with the clip on these two tips 13 also fit into the housing plate 21 namely on the side opposite the bends 23.
  • recesses 18 which are continue upwards in recesses 26 of the upper part 12.
  • recesses 26 are on the outside and on the Back part 16 directed towards the upper part 12 on both sides each formed further tips 27 used for this with the clamp 10 pushed on, the protective conductor contact to produce on a sheet metal section of the ballast 20.
  • the recesses 18 remain approximately upwards lobes 17 bent at right angles, which are at the upper end are free and at the lower end with the lower part 15 connection have, but due to the recesses 18 with the Back part 16 are not directly connected.
