- the hanging element is brought within the arcuate slot in motion to change the center of gravity position of the suspension so that the hanging object is hanging vertically.
- the lights or lighting systems which are attached by means of cables to the ceiling, symmetrical.
- the center of gravity of the elements to be suspended also lies in the central axis and, accordingly, a simple cable suspension is sufficient.
- fastening devices which engage centrally on the lamp or the support member.
- the present invention is based on the object to avoid such problems. In this case, if possible, the previously used wire suspension should be maintained and only in case of need with the least possible effort, a correction of the situation to be made.
- the solution according to the invention is based on the idea of maintaining the previous wire suspension. If necessary, the corresponding arrangement for fixing the lamp or the light band can be supplemented by an adjusting element, which causes a deflection of the suspension element, so the rope or cable and accordingly allows for correction.
- an arrangement for fixing an object such as a lamp or a support member for a luminaire is proposed accordingly, wherein the attachment to an elongated, flexible suspension element, in particular on a cable or cable takes place and wherein the arrangement is arranged on the object to be fastened fastener at which an end portion of the suspension member is fixed.
- the arrangement further comprises an adjusting element, which on the one hand on the fastening element - directly or indirectly - supported and on the other hand forms a guide for deflection of the suspension element, wherein the adjusting element is C-shaped, wherein a leg is supported on the fastener and a further leg forms the guide for the suspension element.
- the adjusting element according to the invention thus represents a supplementary element, which can be added to the known cable suspension in case of need to make appropriate corrections.
- the solution according to the invention is accordingly feasible in a simple and fast manner.
- the adjusting element relative to the fastening element adjustable is rotatable.
- the degree of deflection of the suspension element can be changed in order to compensate for different degrees of skew.
- the adjusting element is then fixed in a correspondingly suitable position on the fastening element. This can be done for example by a clamping or fixing screw.
- the adjustment element according to the invention in fasteners used as standard.
- fasteners used as standard.
- These can, for example, according to the DE 103 41 550 A1 be configured, in which case the suspension element extends through the sleeve-like fastening element.
- a spring-mounted locking element such as a ball or the like provided over which the cable or cable is clamped such that it is securely and effectively fixed to the fastener.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention, with the aid of an elongate support member 105 is to be attached to a ceiling.
- This support element 105 is, for example, an elongate support rail of a lighting system 100 to which luminaire modules or other units, in particular emitters, can also be attached.
- a plurality of the arrangements shown for suspension distributed to the support rail 105 are arranged.
- an elongate luminaire could also be fastened to a ceiling with the aid of the arrangement according to the invention.
- usually corresponding cable suspensions are provided at the two ends of the lamp.
- the first essential element of the arrangement generally designated by the reference numeral 1 is a flexible elongated suspension element formed by a cable 2 or cable.
- the cable 2 is fixed with its upper end to a ceiling mounting element 3, which in a manner not shown on the Ceiling is attached.
- the design of this ceiling fastening element 3 may be different and is not relevant to the present invention.
- the cable 2 is fixed to a fastening element 5.
- This fastener 5 is in the Figures 1 and 2 recognizable, in which the adjusting element discussed in more detail below is shown semi-transparent.
- the term "fixing” is to be understood below that the rope 2 is anchored or fixed to the fastener 5 so that it does not accidentally solve can not slide up.
- the fastening element 5 may be configured, for example, as in the aforementioned DE 103 41 550 A1 is described.
- a special clamping device within the fastener 5 extending through the fastener 5 rope 2 is fixed or clamped so that it can not slip out.
- this clamping device can be solved to allow a relative displacement between the cable 2 and fastener 5, whereby a height adjustment can be made.
- the present invention is by no means limited to such suspension systems.
- the fastening element 5 could also represent only an anchorage for the rope 2, which for this purpose has, for example, at its lower end a widening, which prevents slipping upwards. A height adjustment is then not possible in this case.
- the fastening element 5 is arranged on the upper side of a retaining clip 7, which engages with two lateral arms 8 in elongate recesses of the mounting rail 105.
- Other types of arrangement of the fastener 5 to the light or the lighting system 100 would be conceivable.
- fasteners 5 are arranged centrally on the support rail 105 and the lamp. Further, since the rope 2 is guided through the fastener 5 so that it protrudes from a central opening, the center of gravity of the suspension is in the region of the central longitudinal axis I (see FIG. 3 of the system). In the case of a symmetrical design of the luminaire or the light band system 100, this has the consequence that a symmetrical distribution of force exists and, accordingly, the luminaire or the system is currently suspended.
- an adjusting element is used according to the invention, the function of which will be explained in more detail below.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 is provided with the reference numeral 10 adjusting element formed as a sleeve.
- This sleeve 10 is placed from the top of the fastener 5, so it this - as in FIG. 1 represented - encompasses.
- the inner diameter of the sleeve-like adjusting element 10 is dimensioned such that there is a sufficient clearance to the fastening element 5. So it is no press or sliding seat required.
- this adjustment sleeve 10 is that an inclination of the object to be suspended is compensated by a deflection of the rope 2.
- the sleeve bottom 11 which faces away from the support rail 105, a hole 12 through which the cable 2 is guided.
- This hole 12 is off-center, preferably arranged as close to the edge region of the sleeve 10 and causes the rope 2 is deflected laterally.
- This deflection of the cable 2 has the consequence that now the point of application of the suspension is off-center or asymmetrical, whereby the asymmetric weight distribution of the lamp to be suspended or the lighting system 100 can be compensated. Ultimately, this leads to an inclination of the light or the lighting system 100 is prevented.
- the compensation of the asymmetrical weight distribution of the object to be suspended is thus achieved by a displacement of the point of application of the cable 2 away from the central or symmetrical axis I. It is possible, the adjustment 10 - as indicated by the double arrow in FIG. 4 shown - to rotate relative to the fastener 5 to compensate for different degrees of skew. The twisting has the consequence that the deviation of the position of the hole 12 from the central axis I can be changed.
- the rotation can be done both to the right side and to the left side to To compensate for inclinations in both directions.
- the frictional forces between the adjustment sleeve 10 and the fastening element 5, which are caused by the deflection and the weight of the system, in this case cause the adjustment sleeve 10 is then fixed in the appropriate position.
- the sleeve 10 could be locked in the appropriate position by additional measures, for example by the use of a clamping or fixing screw. This can ensure that the system remains permanently in the balanced position.
- the adjusting sleeve 10 is supported only indirectly on the fastening element 5, that is, for example, on the support rail 105 or the bracket 7 attacks.
- FIGS. 5 to 8 A second embodiment of the adjusting element according to the invention is in the FIGS. 5 to 8 shown. Comparable elements are provided here with the same reference numerals.
- This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment primarily in the leadership of the rope 2.
- the adjusting element 10 has a lateral slot 13 in the sleeve edge.
- This slot 13 extends preferably over the entire height of the sleeve 10 to the sleeve bottom 11.
- the end of the slot 13 in this case in turn causes the deflection of the rope 2 shown in the figures.
- the degree of deflection of the rope 2 are changed in order to be able to flexibly balance asymmetrical weight distributions of the object to be suspended.
- An advantage of this second variant is that, due to the slit 13 extending over the entire height, it is possible to fit the adjusting sleeve 10 in the suspended state already when the luminaire is completely assembled. Unlike the variant of FIGS. 1 to 4 Thus, no need to thread and thread, so in a very simple and fast way to unexpectedly resulting inclinations of the system can be responded.
- FIG. 9 in this case shows a light band system 100, which is arranged by means of the inventive arrangement 1 on a - not shown ceiling - suspended.
- the light band system 100 essentially consists of an elongated support rail 105, on which the clamp 7 engages. Within the support rails 105 extend in the longitudinal directions conductor wires for electrical Power supply of luminaire inserts and for transmission of control commands. Shown is also a lamp insert 120, which is attached from the bottom to the mounting rail and locked to this. In the present case, this luminaire insert 120 is formed symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the system 100.
- an asymmetric weight distribution may be present due to an eccentric laying of the cable or the like, which can now be compensated in a simple manner by the adjusting element 10 according to the invention.
- the deflection of the rope 2 can be ensured that the point of application of the rope 2 is above the center of gravity of the lighting system 100, with the result that this - as shown - can be hung without skew.
- FIGS. 10 to 12 A third inventive embodiment of an adjusting element is in the FIGS. 10 to 12 shown.
- the adjusting element 20 is formed as a C-shaped sheet metal part.
- From this lower leg 21 extends obliquely upward a second leg 22, at its upper end a short third leg 23 is formed.
- This third leg 23 has a lateral notch 24 through which the cable 2 is guided.
- the dimensions and arrangements of the legs 22 and 23 are such that the recess 24 is in turn offset from the center of the fastener 5 is arranged.
- the offset with respect to the axis of symmetry or the longitudinal axis of the system can then be changed by turning the adjusting element 20.
- the adjusting element 20 could be fixed in the appropriate position by additional measures.
- FIGS. 13 and 14 still a fourth embodiment.
- This is similar to the embodiment in the FIGS. 5 to 8 and is accordingly again designed as an attachable sleeve, which has a lateral slot 13.
- the upper end portion of the sleeve is formed in the form of an oblique cone.
- the adjusting element 10 there are no changes to the previously described embodiments. Again, therefore, by twisting the amount of deflection of the rope 2 can be varied. If necessary, the adjusting element could be locked in the appropriate position by means of a clamping or fixing screw.
- the sleeve-shaped adjusting elements can be made of different materials and manufactured in different ways. It would be conceivable, for example, the use of plastic, including the use of a transparent plastic material would be conceivable steel or aluminum. In the case of the use of plastic, the adjusting elements can be sprayed, for example, aluminum parts can be rotated, for example, or produced as extruded part.
- the solution of the invention opens up the possibility to compensate for inclinations in suspended lights or lighting systems in a simple manner.
- a particular advantage of the solution according to the invention consists in the fact that hitherto known suspension devices can be used and only in addition an adjusting element is used, with which the required correction is carried out.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Befestigung eines vorzugsweise länglichen Gegenstandes an einem langgestreckten, flexiblen Aufhängungselement gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung eine Anordnung zur Befestigung einer Leuchte oder eines länglichen Trägerelements für eine Leuchte an einem Seil oder Kabel.The present invention relates to an assembly for attaching a preferably elongated article to an elongate, flexible suspension element according to the preamble of
Leuchten können hinsichtlich der Art und Weise ihrer Montage in unterschiedliche Kategorien eingeteilt werden. Neben so genannten Deckeneinbauleuchten und Deckenanbauleuchten, die versenkt in einer Decke oder bündig an der Unterseite einer Decke montiert werden, werden oftmals auch so genannte Pendelleuchten verwendet, die mit eine gewissen Abstand von der Decke oder einem Deckenelement angeordnet werden. Die Aufhängung derartiger Leuchten erfolgt dabei mittels langgestreckter flexibler Aufhängungselemente, beispielsweise mit Hilfe von Seilen oder Kabeln. Eine hierzu vorgesehene Befestigungsvorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der
Die zuvor beschriebene Seilaufhängung wird sowohl bei Einzelleuchten als auch bei länglichen Lichtbandsystemen verwendet, bei denen über mehrere Seile längliche Tragschienen an der Decke befestigt werden, wobei diese Tragschienen dann wiederum Trägerelemente darstellen, an denen Leuchteneinheiten befestigt werden können. Werden Befestigungsvorrichtungen verwendet, wie sie beispielsweise aus der oben genannten
Die
Die
Die
In der Regel sind die Leuchten oder Lichtbandsysteme, welche mittels der Seile an der Decke befestigt werden, symmetrisch ausgeführt. Dies führt dazu, dass der Schwerpunkt der aufzuhängenden Elemente auch in der Mittelachse liegt und dementsprechend eine einfache Seilabhängung genügt. Es sind also lediglich an den Endbereichen der Leuchte bzw. in regelmässigen Abständen der Tragschienen entsprechende Befestigungsvorrichtungen vorgesehen, welche mittig an der Leuchte bzw. dem Trägerelement angreifen.In general, the lights or lighting systems, which are attached by means of cables to the ceiling, symmetrical. As a result, the center of gravity of the elements to be suspended also lies in the central axis and, accordingly, a simple cable suspension is sufficient. There are therefore provided only at the end regions of the lamp or at regular intervals of the support rails corresponding fastening devices which engage centrally on the lamp or the support member.
Da derartige Leuchten bzw. Lichtbänder sehr schmal ausgeführt werden, können allerdings schon geringe Ungenauigkeiten in der Gewichtsverteilung eine Schräglage hervorrufen. Es kommt dementsprechend mitunter vor, dass eine montierte Leuchte bzw. ein entsprechendes Lichtband trotz symmetrischer Ausführung leicht schräg bezüglich der Längs- bzw. Symmetrieachse hängt. Ferner können Lichtbänder durchaus auch mit asymmetrischem Zubehör bestückt werden. Beispielsweise Strahler, die an der Unterseite der Tragschiene angeordnet werden, weisen in der Regel eine asymmetrische Gewichtsverteilung auf und können ebenfalls eine Schräglage des Lichtbandes hervorrufen.Since such lights or light bands are made very narrow, but even slight inaccuracies in the weight distribution can cause an inclination. Accordingly, it sometimes happens that a mounted light or a corresponding light strip slightly skew despite symmetrical design depends on the longitudinal or symmetry axis. Furthermore, lighting strips can certainly be equipped with asymmetrical accessories. For example, radiators that are arranged on the underside of the mounting rail, as a rule, have an asymmetric weight distribution and can also cause an inclined position of the light band.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nunmehr die Aufgabe zugrunde, derartige Probleme zu vermeiden. Dabei soll möglichst die bislang eingesetzte Seilabhängung erhalten bleiben und nur im Bedarfsfall mit einem möglichst geringen Aufwand eine Korrektur der Lage vorgenommen werden.The present invention is based on the object to avoid such problems. In this case, if possible, the previously used wire suspension should be maintained and only in case of need with the least possible effort, a correction of the situation to be made.
Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Anordnung zur Befestigung eines Gegenstands mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by an arrangement for fastening an object with the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung beruht auf dem Gedanken, die bisherige Seilabhängung beizubehalten. Im Bedarfsfall kann die entsprechende Anordnung zur Befestigung der Leuchte oder des Lichtbands durch ein Justierelement ergänzt werden, welches eine Auslenkung des Aufhängungselements, also des Seils oder Kabels bewirkt und dementsprechend eine Korrektur ermöglicht.The solution according to the invention is based on the idea of maintaining the previous wire suspension. If necessary, the corresponding arrangement for fixing the lamp or the light band can be supplemented by an adjusting element, which causes a deflection of the suspension element, so the rope or cable and accordingly allows for correction.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dementsprechend eine Anordnung zur Befestigung eines Gegenstands, beispielsweise einer Leuchte oder eines Trägerelements für eine Leuchte vorgeschlagen, wobei die Befestigung an einem langgestreckten, flexiblen Aufhängungselement, insbesondere an einem Seil oder Kabel erfolgt und wobei die Anordnung ein an dem zu befestigenden Gegenstand angeordnetes Befestigungselement aufweist, an dem ein Endbereich des Aufhängungselements fixiert ist. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Anordnung ferner ein Justierelement auf, welches sich einerseits an dem Befestigungselement - direkt oder indirekt - abstützt und andererseits eine Führung zur Auslenkung des Aufhängungselements bildet, wobei das Justierelement C-förmig ausgebildet ist, wobei ein Schenkel sich an dem Befestigungselement abstützt und ein weiterer Schenkel die Führung für das Aufhängungselement bildet.According to the invention an arrangement for fixing an object, such as a lamp or a support member for a luminaire is proposed accordingly, wherein the attachment to an elongated, flexible suspension element, in particular on a cable or cable takes place and wherein the arrangement is arranged on the object to be fastened fastener at which an end portion of the suspension member is fixed. According to the invention, the arrangement further comprises an adjusting element, which on the one hand on the fastening element - directly or indirectly - supported and on the other hand forms a guide for deflection of the suspension element, wherein the adjusting element is C-shaped, wherein a leg is supported on the fastener and a further leg forms the guide for the suspension element.
Das erfindungsgemäße Justierelement stellt also ein Ergänzungselement dar, welches im Bedarfsfall der bekannten Seilaufhängung hinzugefügt werden kann, um entsprechende Korrekturen vorzunehmen. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist dementsprechend in einfacher und schneller Weise realisierbar.The adjusting element according to the invention thus represents a supplementary element, which can be added to the known cable suspension in case of need to make appropriate corrections. The solution according to the invention is accordingly feasible in a simple and fast manner.
Um die Justierung der Aufhängung individuell gestalten zu können, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass das Justierelement gegenüber dem Befestigungselement verstellbar, beispielsweise verdrehbar ist. Hierdurch kann das Maß der Auslenkung des Aufhängungselements verändert werden, um unterschiedlich starke Schrägstellungen ausgleichen zu können. Dabei kann ferner vorgesehen sein, dass das Justierelement dann in einer entsprechend geeigneten Position an dem Befestigungselement fixiert wird. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine Klemm- oder Fixierschraube erfolgen.In order to customize the adjustment of the suspension, it is preferably provided that the adjusting element relative to the fastening element adjustable, for example, is rotatable. In this way, the degree of deflection of the suspension element can be changed in order to compensate for different degrees of skew. It can further be provided that the adjusting element is then fixed in a correspondingly suitable position on the fastening element. This can be done for example by a clamping or fixing screw.
Wie bereits erwähnt besteht insbesondere die Möglichkeit, das erfindungsgemäße Justierelement bei standardmäßig verwendeten Befestigungselementen einzusetzen. Diese können beispielsweise entsprechend der

Die
Erstes wesentliches Element der allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 versehenen Anordnung ist ein flexibles langgestrecktes Aufhängungselement, welches durch ein Seil 2 oder Kabel gebildet wird. Das Seil 2 ist mit seinem oberen Ende an einem Deckenbefestigungselement 3 fixiert, welches in nicht näher dargestellter Weise an der Decke befestigt wird. Die Ausgestaltung dieses Deckenbefestigungselements 3 kann unterschiedlich sein und ist für die vorliegende Erfindung nicht weiter von Bedeutung.The first essential element of the arrangement generally designated by the
An einem unteren Endbereich ist das Seil 2 an einem Befestigungselement 5 fixiert. Dieses Befestigungselement 5 ist in den
Das Befestigungselement 5 ist an der Oberseite einer Halteklammer 7 angeordnet, welche mit zwei seitlichen Armen 8 in längliche Ausnehmungen der Tragschiene 105 eingreift. Auch andere Arten der Anordnung des Befestigungselements 5 an der Leuchte bzw. dem Lichtbandsystem 100 wären denkbar.The
Standardmäßig sind derartige Befestigungselemente 5 mittig an der Tragschiene 105 bzw. der Leuchte angeordnet. Da ferner das Seil 2 derart durch das Befestigungselement 5 geführt ist, dass es aus einer zentralen Öffnung ragt, liegt der Schwerpunkt der Aufhängung im Bereich der mittigen Längsachse I (siehe
Aufgrund von Abweichungen in der Gewichtsverteilung, die beispielsweise auf eine entsprechende Lagerung der innerhalb der Leuchte oder des Lichtbandsystems 100 verlaufenden Kabel zurückzuführen ist oder durch eine asymmetrische Anordnung der Lampenbetriebsgeräte hervorgerufen werden kann, kann es allerdings zu einer leichten Schrägstellung kommen. Hierbei ist dann die Leuchte bzw. das Lichtbandsystem 100 um die Achse I leicht verschwenkt, wobei eine derartige Schräglage selbstverständlich nicht erwünscht ist. Auch das Anordnen von Strahlern an der Tragschiene 100 kann zu einer asymmetrischen Gewichtsverteilung führen, welche die ungewünschte Schrägstellung hervorruft.However, due to variations in the weight distribution due, for example, to a corresponding support of the cable running within the luminaire or the
Um eine derartige Neigung auszugleichen, wird erfindungsgemäß ein Justierelement eingesetzt, dessen Funktion nachfolgend näher erläutert wird.To compensate for such an inclination, an adjusting element is used according to the invention, the function of which will be explained in more detail below.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der
Die Wirkung dieser Justierhülse 10 besteht darin, dass eine Schrägstellung des aufzuhängenden Objekts durch ein Auslenken des Seils 2 ausgeglichen wird. Im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel weist hierfür der Hülsenboden 11, welcher der Tragschiene 105 abgewandt ist, ein Loch 12 auf, durch welches das Seil 2 geführt ist. Dieses Loch 12 ist außermittig, vorzugsweise möglichst nahe am Randbereich der Hülse 10 angeordnet und führt dazu, dass das Seil 2 seitlich ausgelenkt wird. Diese Auslenkung des Seils 2 hat zur Folge, dass nunmehr der Angriffspunkt der Aufhängung außermittig bzw. asymmetrisch ist, wodurch die asymmetrische Gewichtsverteilung der aufzuhängenden Leuchte bzw. des Lichtbandsystems 100 ausgeglichen werden kann. Letztendlich führt dies dazu, dass eine Schrägstellung der Leuchte oder des Lichtbandsystems 100 verhindert wird.The effect of this
Die Kompensation der asymmetrischen Gewichtsverteilung des aufzuhängenden Objekts wird also durch eine Verlagerung des Angriffspunkts des Seils 2 von der Zentral- bzw. Symmetrieachse I weg erzielt. Dabei besteht die Möglichkeit, das Justierelement 10 - wie anhand des Doppelpfeils in
Ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Justierelements ist in den
Dieses zweite Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich gegenüber dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel in erster Linie in der der Führung des Seils 2. An Stelle eines Lochs im Hülsenboden weist nunmehr das Justierelement 10 einen seitlichen Schlitz 13 in der Hülsenrand auf. Dieser Schlitz 13 erstreckt sich dabei vorzugsweise über die gesamte Höhe der Hülse 10 bis zu dem Hülsenboden 11. Der Endbereich des Schlitzes 13 bewirkt hierbei wiederum die in den Figuren dargestellte Auslenkung des Seils 2. Wiederum kann also durch Verdrehen der Hülse 10 gegenüber dem Befestigungselement 5 das Maß der Auslenkung des Seils 2 verändert werden, um flexibel asymmetrische Gewichtsverteilungen des aufzuhängenden Objekts ausgleichen zu können.This second embodiment differs from the first embodiment primarily in the leadership of the
Ein Vorteil dieser zweiten Variante besteht darin, dass aufgrund des sich über die gesamte Höhe erstreckenden Schlitzes 13 die Möglichkeit besteht, die Justierhülse 10 bereits bei fertig montierter Leuchte im abgehängten Zustand aufzustecken. Im Gegensatz zu der Variante der
Letztendlich kann dann beispielsweise eine Anordnung erreicht werden, wie sie in

Die hülsenförmigen Justierelemente können aus unterschiedlichsten Materialien bestehen und in unterschiedlicher Weise hergestellt werden. Denkbar wäre beispielsweise die Verwendung von Kunststoff, wobei auch die Verwendung eines transparenten Kunststoffmaterials denkbar wäre, Stahl oder Aluminium. Im Falle der Verwendung von Kunststoff können die Justierelemente beispielsweise gespritzt werden, Aluminiumteile können beispielsweise gedreht oder als Fließpressteil hergestellt werden.The sleeve-shaped adjusting elements can be made of different materials and manufactured in different ways. It would be conceivable, for example, the use of plastic, including the use of a transparent plastic material would be conceivable steel or aluminum. In the case of the use of plastic, the adjusting elements can be sprayed, for example, aluminum parts can be rotated, for example, or produced as extruded part.
Letztendlich eröffnet also die erfindungsgemäße Lösung die Möglichkeit, Schrägstellungen bei abgehängten Leuchten oder Lichtbandsystemen in einfacher Weise auszugleichen. Ein besonderer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht hierbei darin, dass auf bislang bekannte Aufhängungsvorrichtungen zurückgegriffen werden kann und lediglich ergänzend ein Justierelement eingesetzt wird, mit dem die erforderliche Korrektur durchgeführt wird.Ultimately, therefore, the solution of the invention opens up the possibility to compensate for inclinations in suspended lights or lighting systems in a simple manner. A particular advantage of the solution according to the invention consists in the fact that hitherto known suspension devices can be used and only in addition an adjusting element is used, with which the required correction is carried out.
