Wenn das Rastelement 12 in einem Schnitt betrachtet Außenbegrenzungen aufweist, die eine Kreislinie festlegen, lässt sich durch die Rastverbindung 4 vergleichsweise einfach eine Drehbewegung der beiden betreffenden Segmente 2 um eine zu den beiden U-Schenkeln 6, 8 parallel verlaufende Drehachse A ermöglichen. Bei dem Schnitt kann es sich also insbesondere um einen Schnitt in einer weiteren Ebene normal zu der oben genannten Querschnittebene E bzw. normal zu den beiden U-Schenkeln 6, 8 bzw. um einen Längsschnitt handeln.If the locking
Um die Reihe der Segmente 2 zu bilden, weist in diesem Sinne vorzugsweise jedes Segment 2 das erwähnte Rastelement 12 auf, sowie außerdem eine Rastelement-Aufnahme 14, die zur Aufnahme eines entsprechenden Rastelements 12 eines benachbarten Segments 2 und dadurch zur Bildung einer der Rastverbindungen 4 ausgestaltet ist. Dabei stellt also das Rastelement 12 eines bestimmten Segments 2 Teil einer ersten der Rastverbindungen 4 zu einem ersten benachbarten Segment 2 auf einer ersten Seite dar und die Rastelement-Aufnahme 14 Teil einer zweiten der Rastverbindungen 4 zu einem zweiten benachbarten Segment 2 auf einer der ersten Seite gegenüberliegenden, zweiten Seite.In order to form the row of

Vorzugsweise ist an jedem der U-Schenkel 6, 8 jeweils ein Arm 16 angeordnet ist, der derart gestaltet ist, dass er in ein benachbartes Segment 2 eingreift. Dabei ist die Gestaltung vorzugsweise derart, dass die beiden Arme 16 federnd von innen gegen die U-Schenkel des benachbarten Segments drücken. Hierdurch lässt sich eine Führung der relativen Bewegung zwischen den beiden Segmenten 2 bewirken. (Die beiden in den
Bevorzugt weist jedes der Segmente 2 ein Überlappungselement 20 auf, das derart gestaltet ist, dass es ein benachbartes Segment 2 umgreift oder in ein benachbartes Segment eingreift. Hierdurch lässt sich der Leuchtmittel-Aufnahmekanal besonders gut so gestalten, dass er seitlich geschlossen ist und somit den Leuchtmitteln besonders guten Schutz bietet. Vorzugsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein Segment 2 - wie in den Zeichnungen dargestellt - jeweils zwei Überlappungselemente 20, 20' aufweist, und zwar ein erstes Überlappungselement 20 zur Überlappung mit einem ersten benachbarten Segment 2 auf einer ersten Seite und ein zweites Überlappungselement 20' zur Überlappung mit einem zweiten benachbarten Segment 2 auf einer der ersten Seite gegenüberliegenden, zweiten Seite. Bei der in den
Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Gestaltung derart, dass das Überlappungselement 20 bzw. das erste Überlappungselement 20 synergistisch mit den Armen 16 zusammenwirkt, und zwar derart, dass die Arme 16 von innen an den U-Schenkeln 6, 8 des betreffenden benachbarten Segments 2 anliegen und das Überlappungselement 20 von außen anliegt. Weiterhin können Arme 16 an ihren freien Endbereichen mit Bezug auf die U-Form nach außen weisende Haken 24 aufweisen, die mit entsprechenden Vorsprüngen 22 des benachbarten Segments 2 zusammenwirken, so dass hierdurch eine Bewegungsbegrenzung gebildet ist.Preferably, the design is such that the
Vorteilhaft ist jedes der Segmente 2 mit einem Aluminiumelement 30, insbesondere in Form einer Aluminium-Klammer, verbunden, wobei das Aluminiumelement 30 zur Kühlung wenigstens eines der Leuchtmittel und/oder zur Halterung dieses Leuchtmittels in dem Leuchtmittel-Aufnahmekanal ausgebildet ist. Ein derartiges Aluminiumelement eignet sich besonders, wenn die Segmente nicht aus Aluminium bestehen, also beispielsweise aus Kunststoff. Bei dem Leuchtmitteln kann es sich um Leuchtstoffröhren, aber insbesondere auch um LEDs handeln. Im Fall von LEDs ist eine gute Wärmeabfuhr bei Betrieb besonders wichtig; das Aluminiumelement ist hierbei besonders vorteilhaft, weil hierdurch eine erhöhte Wärmeabfuhr durch den Kunststoff ermöglicht ist. In
Eine besonders einfache Montage ist ermöglicht, wenn das Aluminiumelement 30 über eine Schnappverbindung bzw. lediglich über eine Schnappverbindung an dem betreffenden Segment 2, insbesondere an dem Verbindungsschenkel 10 des Segments 2 gehaltert ist. Hierzu kann der Verbindungsschenkel 10 - wie in
Eine weitergehend verbesserte Wärmeabfuhr ist ermöglicht, wenn der Kanal zur Lichtabgabe nach unten vorgesehen ist und die Segmente 2 an der Oberseite - also im Verbindungsschenkel 10 - Durchgangsöffnungen, insbesondere ausgebrochene Durchgangsöffnungen, zur Wärmeabfuhr aufweisen.A further improved heat dissipation is made possible if the channel is provided for emitting light down and the
Eine Verwendung von LEDs ermöglicht - im Gegensatz zu der Verwendung von Leuchtstofflampen - einen kleineren Krümmungsradius des Kanals und außerdem eine besonders homogene Ausleuchtung des Kanals, vom "Anfang" bis zum "Ende", denn Fassungen, wie sie bei Leuchtstofflampen erforderlich sind, sind bei LEDs nicht notwendig. Bei Verwendung von Leuchtstofflampen kann vorgesehen sein, die Lampen in den Grenzbereichen überlappen zu lassen, um Dunkelstellen zu vermeiden. Vorzugsweise weist jedes Segment 2 außerdem an den freien Endbereichen der beiden U-Schenkel 6, 8 Verbindungselemente 40 zur Halterung der bereits erwähnten, den Leuchtmittel-Aufnahmekanal zumindest teilweise abdeckenden lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 7 auf. Hierdurch ist eine einfache Montage der Abdeckung 7 ermöglicht. Vorzugsweise ist die Abdeckung 7 derart biegbar, dass sie sich auf einen entsprechend gekrümmten Leuchtmittel-Aufnahmekanal abdeckend aufsetzen lässt. Dies ist an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Vorzugsweise ist die Abdeckung 7 diffus lichtdurchlässig; sie kann als flexibles Diffusorband ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise besteht die Abdeckung 7 aus Silikon. Die Abdeckung 7 kann insbesondere derart gestaltet sein, dass aufgrund ihrer Lichtdurchlässigkeit Strukturen, die sich innerhalb des Leuchtmittel-Aufnahmekanals befinden, von außen nicht oder nur schwer erkennen lassen.The use of LEDs, in contrast to the use of fluorescent lamps, allows a smaller radius of curvature of the channel and also a particularly homogeneous illumination of the channel, from the "beginning" to the "end", because versions, as required in fluorescent lamps, are included LEDs not necessary. When using fluorescent lamps can be provided to overlap the lamps in the border areas to avoid dark spots. Preferably, each
Weiterhin vorzugsweise weist wenigstens eines der Segmente 2, vorzugsweise jedes der Segmente 2 Haken 50 auf, die zu dem, durch die U-Form festgelegten Innenbereich I des betreffenden Segments 2 hin weisen. Hierdurch lassen sich zusätzliche Elemente, beispielsweise Leuchtstoffröhren, leicht montieren. (Die in den

Wie erwähnt, eignet sich der Leuchtmittel-Aufnahmebereich besonders gut als Teil einer Leuchte, weil hierdurch auf vergleichsweise einfache Weise ein gekrümmter Lichtabgabebereich gebildet werden kann. Insbesondere eignet sich der Leuchtmittel-Aufnahmebereich auch im Fall einer Anbauleuchte oder Pendelleuchte. Weil die Segmente derart gestaltet werden können, dass sich ein Kanal ergibt, der längs der U-Schenkel und der Verbindungsschenkel geschlossen ist, eignet sich der Leuchtmittelaufnahmekanal dabei auch besonders als Leuchtengehäuse oder Teil eines Leuchtengehäuses. Zur Realisierung einer Pendelleuchte können vorzugsweise einfach unmittelbar an dem Kanal, beispielsweise an Verbindungsschenkeln 10, Pendelseile angebracht werden.As mentioned, the light-receiving area is particularly well suited as part of a lamp, because this can be formed in a comparatively simple manner, a curved light emitting area. In particular, the illuminant receiving area is also suitable in the case of a surface-mounted luminaire or pendant luminaire. Because the segments can be designed such that there is a channel which is closed along the U-legs and the connecting leg, the bulb receiving channel is also particularly suitable as a lamp housing or part of a lamp housing. For the realization of a pendant lamp can preferably simply be attached directly to the channel, for example on connecting
Der Kanal lässt sich gemäß der Erfindung in praktisch jeder beliebigen Länge realisieren. An beiden Enden können - wie in
