An outer longitudinal groove (15) is provided at an outside of the section profiles, and electrical light sources such as LEDs (14) are used in the groove. The LEDs are spaced apart from each other and are arranged on base plates (13), where the base plates are positioned inside undercuts of the outer longitudinal groove.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Handlauf mit daran/darin befindlichen elektrischen Lichtquellen.The invention relates to a handrail with it / therein electrical light sources.

Zu Treppen in Häusern werden aus Sicherheitsgründen regelmäßig Handläufe vorgesehen, die entweder mit Pfosten an den Treppen oder an der Wand befestigt werden. Um die Sicherheit insbesondere bei Dunkelheit zu erhöhen, ist es auch schon bekannt, in den Handläufen Ausnehmungen vorzusehen, die zur Aufnahme von elektrischen Leuchten dienen.To stairs in houses are regularly provided for safety reasons handrails, which are attached either with posts on the stairs or on the wall. In order to increase safety especially in the dark, it is already known to provide recesses in the handrails, which serve to accommodate electric lights.

Es wird nunmehr ein verbesserter Handlauf der vorstehend beschriebenen Art vorgeschlagen, wobei die Verbesserung darin besteht, dass der Handlauf von einem Hohlprofil gebildet ist, das aus mindestens zwei verbindbaren Teilprofilen besteht.There is now proposed an improved handrail of the type described above, wherein the improvement consists in that the handrail is formed by a hollow profile, which consists of at least two connectable part profiles.

Das Hohlprofil ist durch Trennung der beiden Teilprofile innen zugänglich und eignet sich insbesondere zur Führung der Stromversorgungsleitungen für die elektrischen Lichtquellen.The hollow profile is accessible by separation of the two sub-profiles inside and is particularly suitable for guiding the power supply lines for the electric light sources.

Zweckmäßiger Weise wird die eine Verbindung zwischen den Teilprofilen als Scharnier ausgebildet, so dass beim Öffnen der anderen Verbindung der Hohlraum in dem Hohlprofil zwar zugänglich ist, die beiden Teilprofile aber nicht auseinanderfallen.Conveniently, the one connection between the sub-profiles is formed as a hinge, so that while opening the other connection, the cavity in the hollow profile is indeed accessible, but the two sub-profiles do not fall apart.

Die andere Verbindung kann bspw. als Schnappverbindung ausgebildet werden, so dass auf diese Weise ein einfaches Öffnen und Schließen des Hohlprofils gewährleistet ist.The other connection can be formed, for example, as a snap connection, so that in this way a simple opening and closing of the hollow profile is ensured.

Eine andere weiterbildende Maßnahme kann darin bestehen, dass zumindest eine der Verbindungen zwischen den Teilprofilen nur mit Hilfe eines Spezialwerkzeugs lösbar ist. Für den Fall, dass - wie vorstehend beschrieben - die eine Verbindung zwischen den Teilprofilen als Scharnier und die andere als Schnappverbindung ausgebildet ist, empfiehlt es sich, die Schnappverbindung so auszubilden, dass sie nur mit Hilfe des Spezialwerkzeugs lösbar ist.Another further development measure may consist in that at least one of the connections between the sub-profiles can only be detached with the aid of a special tool. In the event that - as described above - one connection between the sub-profiles as a hinge and the other is designed as a snap connection, it is recommended to form the snap connection so that it can be solved only with the help of the special tool.

Eine andere Weiterbildung kann darin bestehen, dass an der Außenseite mindestens des einen Teilprofils eine Außenlängsnut vorgesehen ist, in die in Abständen voneinander die elektrischen Lichtquellen eingesetzt sind. Durch das Vorsehen einer Außenlängsnut ist es nicht mehr erforderlich, eine Vielzahl von einzelnen Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme der Lichtquellen in dem Handlauf einzuarbeiten. Die Außenlängsnut hat ferner den Vorteil, dass der Ort zur Anbringung von Lichtquellen sowie der Zahl und Abstand frei wählbar sind. Es versteht sich daher, dass das Herstellungsverfahren für den Handlauf und die Montage der Lichtquellen damit erheblich vereinfacht werden. Wegen ihrer hohen Lichtausbeute ihrer geringen Abmessungen sowie ihrer langen Lebensdauer, eignen sich insbesondere LEDs zum Einbau in den erfindungsgemäßen Handlauf.Another development may consist in that an outer longitudinal groove is provided on the outside of at least one partial profile, in which the electric light sources are inserted at intervals from each other. By providing an outer longitudinal groove, it is no longer necessary to incorporate a plurality of individual recesses for receiving the light sources in the handrail. The Außenlängsnut also has the advantage that the place for attaching light sources and the number and distance are freely selectable. It is therefore understood that the manufacturing process for the handrail and the assembly of the light sources are thus considerably simplified. Because of their high luminous efficacy of their small dimensions and their long life, LEDs are particularly suitable for installation in the handrail according to the invention.

Die LEDs können auf Basisplatinen angeordnet werden, die ihrerseits in Hinterschneidungen der Außenlängsnut verankerbar sind.The LEDs can be arranged on base boards, which in turn can be anchored in undercuts the Außenlängsnut.

Zweckmäßigerweise können die Lichtquellen von einer aus durchsichtigem oder durchscheinendem Material bestehenden, in Längsrichtung verlaufenden profilierten Schutzleiste überdeckt sein. Die Schutzleiste sollte dabei die Außenlängsnut insgesamt überdecken, mit dem Ergebnis, dass dadurch das Eindringen von Schmutz in die Außenlängsnut weitgehend ausgeschlossen wird.Advantageously, the light sources can be covered by a transparent or translucent material existing, extending in the longitudinal direction profiled protective strip. The protective strip should cover the outer longitudinal groove as a whole, with the result that thereby the penetration of dirt into the outer longitudinal groove is largely excluded.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Maßnahme ist die, dass die Schutzleiste - im Profilquerschnitt gesehen - nach außen gewölbt ist. Sie hat dadurch eine Linsenwirkung, mit dem Ergebnis, dass das von den Lichtquellen abgestrahlte Licht auf einen Bestimmungsort fokussiert wird. Der Bestimmungsort wird in der Regel die Treppe sein, neben der der Handlauf angebracht ist.Another advantageous measure is that the protective strip - seen in profile cross section - is curved outward. It thereby has a lens effect, with the result that the light emitted by the light sources is focused on a destination. The destination will usually be the staircase next to which the handrail is attached.

Alternativ dazu ist es auch möglich, dass jede elektrische Lichtquelle von jeweils einem separaten zugeordneten Schutzelement aus durchsichtigem oder durchscheinendem Material überdeckt ist. Auch hier ist es zweckmäßig, das Schutzelement zur Erzielung einer Fokussierungswirkung nach außen gewölbt zu gestalten.Alternatively, it is also possible that each electrical light source is covered by a respective separate associated protective element of transparent or translucent material. Again, it is expedient to make the protective element arched to achieve a focusing effect to the outside.

Eine andere zweckmäßige Maßnahme kann darin bestehen, dass an der Innenseite mindestens des einen Teilprofils eine Innenlängsnut vorgesehen wird. Diese sollte sich zweckmäßigerweise an dem gleichen Teilprofil befinden, an dem auch die Außenlängsnut vorgesehen ist. An der Innenlängsnut können Betriebsgeräte für die elektrischen Lichtquellen verankert werden. Es ist möglich, ein einziges Betriebsgerät für alle Lichtquellen vorzusehen oder aber auch für jede Lichtquelle ein separates Betriebsgerät. Die Innenlängsnut kann eine profilierte seitliche Zahnung aufweisen, so dass eine einfache Befestigung der Betriebsgeräte durch entsprechendes Anschrauben ermöglicht wird.Another expedient measure may be that an inner longitudinal groove is provided on the inside of at least one partial profile. This should expediently be located on the same part profile on which the outer longitudinal groove is provided. Operating equipment for the electrical light sources can be anchored to the inner longitudinal groove. It is possible to provide a single operating device for all light sources or a separate one for each light source Control gear. The inner longitudinal groove may have a profiled lateral toothing, so that a simple attachment of the operating devices is made possible by appropriate screwing.

Zur Zuführung der elektrischen Stromversorgungsleitungen in das Hohlprofil kann letzteres über Rohrhülsen an der Wand befestigt werden, wobei dann an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen den Rohrhülsen und dem Hohlprofil in diesem jeweils ein Durchführungsloch vorgesehen sein sollte.To supply the electrical power supply lines in the hollow profile, the latter can be attached via pipe sleeves to the wall, in which case a through hole should then be provided at the junction between the pipe sleeves and the hollow profile in this.

Das Hohlprofil kann - im Querschnitt gesehen - eine kreisrunde aber auch eine ovale oder amöbenartige Form haben. Für die Form sind im wesentlichen ästhetische Gesichtspunkte entscheidend.The hollow profile can - seen in cross section - have a circular but also an oval or amoeba-like shape. Essentially aesthetic considerations are crucial to the shape.

Als Material für die Teilprofile kommen vorzugsweise Kunststoff oder Metall in Frage. Im Falle von Metall bietet sich aus Kosten- und Verarbeitungsgründen vor allem Aluminium an.As material for the sub-profiles are preferably plastic or metal in question. In the case of metal, for cost and processing reasons, aluminum is the most suitable choice.

Eine Variante des vorstehend beschriebenen Handlaufs kann darin bestehen, dass - bei Verwendung von Kunststoff als Material - der Kunststoff lichtdurchlässig ist und dass die Lichtquellen so angeordnet sind, dass sie ihr Licht in den Innenraum des Hohlprofils abstrahlen. In diesem Fall würde das Hohlprofil bei Dunkelheit als Leuchtband erscheinen.A variant of the handrail described above may consist in that - when using plastic as a material - the plastic is translucent and that the light sources are arranged so that they radiate their light into the interior of the hollow profile. In this case, the hollow profile would appear in the dark as a light strip.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen beschrieben. Es zeigen:

An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Show it:

Der Handlauf besteht aus einem Hohlprofil 1, das aus zwei Teilprofilen 2, 3 zusammengesetzt ist. Das Hohlprofil 1 hat insgesamt Amöbenform; es sind jedoch auch eine Vielzahl anderer Formen denkbar, bspw. eine ovale oder eine kreisrunde Form.The handrail consists of a hollow profile 1, which is composed of two sub-profiles 2, 3. The hollow profile 1 has a total amoeba shape; However, there are also a variety of other forms conceivable, for example. An oval or a circular shape.

Das Hohlprofil 1 ist an einer Wand 4 befestigt, und zwar über Rohrhülsen 5, welche an der Wand mittels Flanschen 6 befestigt sind. Die Rohrhülsen 5 weisen an ihren freien Enden Gewindeabschnitte auf, die durch Durchführungslöcher 9 in dem Teilprofil 2 hindurchgesteckt sind. Durch auf die Gewindeabschnitte der Rohrhülsen 5 aufgeschraubte Muttern 8 im Innenraum des Hohlprofils 1 ist es möglich, dass Hohlprofil 1 an den Rohrhülsen 5 zu befestigen. Der Innenraum des Hohlprofils 1 steht über die Rohrhülsen 5 mit dem Innenraum von in der Wand 4 versenkten Montagedosen 7 in Verbindung. Auf diese Weise können elektrische Zuführungsleitungen von der Montagedose 7 durch die Rohrhülsen 5 in den Innenraum des Hohlprofils 1 eingeleitet werden.The hollow profile 1 is fixed to a wall 4, via pipe sleeves 5, which are fixed to the wall by means of flanges 6. The tube sleeves 5 have at their free ends threaded portions which are inserted through feedthrough holes 9 in the sub-profile 2. By screwed onto the threaded portions of the tube sleeves 5 nuts 8 in the interior of the hollow section 1, it is possible that hollow profile 1 to attach to the tube sleeves 5. The interior of the hollow profile 1 is connected via the tube sleeves 5 with the interior of sunk in the wall 4 mounting boxes 7 in connection. In this way, electrical supply lines can be introduced from the mounting box 7 through the tube sleeves 5 in the interior of the hollow section 1.

In Fig. 1 sind die Teilprofile 1 und 2 an einer Seite durch ein profiliertes Scharnier 10 miteinander verbunden. An der anderen Seite ist die Verbindung durch einen Rastmechanismus realisiert, der aus einer an dem Teilprofil 3 befindlichen Feder 11 und einer an dem Teilprofil 2 befindlichen Rastnase 12 besteht.In Fig. 1, the sub-profiles 1 and 2 are connected to one another by a profiled hinge 10 on one side. On the other side, the connection is realized by a latching mechanism consisting of a spring 11 located on the part profile 3 and a latching lug 12 located on the part profile 2.

Während in Fig. 1 die beiden Teilprofile 2, 3 noch miteinander verbunden sind, zeigt die Fig. 2 die Teilprofile 2, 3 im geöffneten Zustand. Dabei ist nur die Rastverbindung 11, 12 geöffnet, während das Scharnier 10 gewährleistet, dass das untere Teilprofil 3 an dem oberen Teilprofil 2 hängt. In diesem Zustand ist der Innenraum des Hohlprofils 1 von außen zugänglich.While in Fig. 1, the two sub-profiles 2, 3 are still connected to each other, Fig. 2 shows the sub-profiles 2, 3 in the open state. In this case, only the locking connection 11, 12 is opened, while the hinge 10 ensures that the lower part profile 3 depends on the upper part profile 2. In this state, the interior of the hollow profile 1 is accessible from the outside.

Das Teilprofil 2 weist eine Außenlängsnut 15 auf, die zur Aufnahme von Basisplatinen 13 dient, welche LEDs tragen und in regelmäßigen Abständen über die Längsrichtung des Hohlprofiles 1 verteilt angeordnet sind. Die Außenlängsnut 15 ist von einer transparenten Schutzleiste 16 abgedeckt, welche nach außen gewölbt ist und daher Linsenwirkung für das von den LEDs 14 abgestrahlte Licht hat. Dieses Licht wird dementsprechend auf den zu begehenden Treppenbereich fokussiert.The sub-profile 2 has an outer longitudinal groove 15, which serves to receive base boards 13, which carry LEDs and are distributed over the longitudinal direction of the hollow profile 1 at regular intervals. The outer longitudinal groove 15 is covered by a transparent protective strip 16, which is arched outwards and therefore has a lens effect for the light emitted by the LEDs 14. This light is accordingly focused on the staircase to be walked.

Das Teilprofil 3 hat ferner eine Innenlängsnut 18, die an den Seiten mit einer profilierten Zahnung versehen ist, welche das Befestigen von Betriebsgeräten 17 für die Basisplatinen 13 durch Anschrauben ermöglicht. Zweckmäßigerweise wird für jede Basisplatine 13 ein separates Betriebsgerät 17 vorgesehen.The sub-profile 3 further has an inner longitudinal groove 18, which is provided on the sides with a profiled toothing, which allows the fastening of operating devices 17 for the base boards 13 by screwing. Conveniently, a separate operating device 17 is provided for each base board 13.

Wie man der Fig. 4 entnehmen kann, kann die Rastverbindung 11, 12 zum Verschwenken des Teilprofils 3 um das Scharnier 10 nur durch Verwendung eines Spezialwerkzeugs 19 geöffnet werden. Dieses weist eine Klaue 20 auf, welche in den Spalt zwischen der Schutzleiste 16 und dem Teilprofil 3 eintaucht.As can be seen from FIG. 4, the latching connection 11, 12 can be opened for pivoting the partial profile 3 about the hinge 10 only by using a special tool 19. This has a claw 20, which dips into the gap between the protective strip 16 and the partial profile 3.
