Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stehleuchte gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, welche eine sich von einem Leuchtenfuß nach oben erstreckende Leuchtensäule aufweist, an welcher zumindest ein zur Halterung einer Lichtquelle vorgesehener Leuchtenkopf angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a floor lamp according to the preamble of claim 1, which has a lamp base upwardly extending light column, on which at least one provided for holding a light source lamp head is arranged.

Stehleuchten dieser Art finden vielfach Verwendung, da sie zur flexiblen Ausleuchtung von Räumen, insbesondere von Büroräumen herangezogen werden können. Durch die Möglichkeit, die Position einer Stehleuchte einfach verändern zu können, kann die Beleuchtung in einfacher und schneller Weise an unterschiedliche Gegebenheiten angepaßt werden, was einen großen Vorteil gegenüber fest an einer Raumdecke installierten Leuchten darstellt. Moderne Stehleuchten sind dabei derart ausgestaltet, daß das von ihnen abgegebene Licht hinsichtlich seiner Lichtverteilung mit dem Licht von fest an einer Raumdecke installierten Leuchten vergleichbar ist.Floor lamps of this type are often used, since they can be used for flexible illumination of rooms, especially office space. The ability to easily change the position of a floor lamp, the lighting can be adapted in a simple and fast way to different circumstances, which is a big advantage over permanently installed on a ceiling luminaires. Modern floor lamps are designed such that the light emitted by them is comparable in terms of its light distribution with the light of fixed to a ceiling lights installed.

Stehleuchten dieser beschriebenen Art weisen üblicherweise zunächst eine sog. Leuchtensäule auf, welche sich von einem Leuchtenfuß aus im wesentlichen vertikal nach oben erstreckt. An ihrem oberen Ende ist zumindest ein Leuchtenkopf angeordnet, der die Lichtquelle enthält. Bei zur Bürobeleuchtung eingesetzten Stehleuchten sind die Leuchtenköpfe in der Regel langgestreckt ausgebildet, da in ihnen längliche Lichtquellen, wie z. B. Gasentladungslampen, insbesondere Leuchtstoffröhren, angeordnet sind. Der Leuchtenkopf ist in diesem Fall im wesentlichen horizontal, also senkrecht zur Leuchtensäule angeordnet, so daß das von der Gasentladungslampe abgegebene Licht gleichmäßig zur Unterseite hin abgestrahlt werden kann. Die Leuchtenköpfe weisen üblicherweise auch noch Lichtbeeinflussungsmittel in Form von Rastern oder dergleichen auf, um eine blendfreie Ausleuchtung zu ermöglichen.Floor lamps of this type described usually initially have a so-called. Light column, which extends from a lamp base from substantially vertically upwards. At its upper end, at least one lamp head is arranged, which contains the light source. When used for office lighting floor lamps, the lamp heads are usually elongated, as elongated light sources such. B. gas discharge lamps, in particular fluorescent tubes, are arranged. The lamp head is in this case substantially horizontal, that is arranged perpendicular to the lamp column, so that the light emitted from the gas discharge lamp light can be radiated uniformly towards the bottom. The lamp heads usually also have light influencing means in the form of grids or the like in order to allow glare-free illumination.

Die horizontale Ausrichtung des Leuchtenkopfs im Vergleich zur Leuchtensäule bedingt, daß die Leuchte im Endmontagezustand etwa die Form eines L oder T beschreibt. Um einen platzsparenden Transport der Leuchte zu ermöglichen, werden deshalb üblicherweise die Leuchtenköpfe getrennt von der Leuchtensäule verpackt. Bei der Endmontage ist dann der Leuchtenkopf an der Leuchtensäule zu montieren. Ferner muß die Verdrahtung zwischen der Lampe und den elektrischen Komponenten der Leuchte sichergestellt werden, um einen ordnungsgemäßen Betrieb zu ermöglichen.The horizontal orientation of the lamp head compared to the light column requires that the lamp in the final assembly state describes approximately the shape of an L or T. In order to enable a space-saving transport of the lamp, therefore, the lamp heads are usually packaged separately from the light column. During final assembly, the luminaire head must then be mounted on the light column. Furthermore, the wiring between the lamp and the electrical components of the luminaire must be ensured to allow proper operation.

Die bei einer klassischen Stehleuchte anfallenden Arbeitsschritte bei der Endmontage der Leuchte sind also verhältnismäßig aufwendig. Insbesondere das Montieren der Verdrahtung bringt dabei einen Zusatzaufwand mit sich, der üblicherweise von einem Fachmann durchzuführen ist, um einen reibungslosen Betrieb der Leuchte zu gewährleisten.The resulting in a classic floor lamp steps in the final assembly of the lamp are therefore relatively expensive. In particular, the mounting of the wiring brings with it an additional expense, which is usually carried out by a professional to ensure smooth operation of the lamp.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nunmehr die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stehleuchte der eingangs beschriebenen Art derart weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern, daß einerseits ein einfacher Transport der Leuchte und andererseits eine einfache und schnell durchzuführende Endmontage ermöglicht ist.The present invention is based on the object, such a floor lamp of the type described above to develop and improve that on the one hand, a simple transport of the lamp and on the other hand a simple and fast to be performed final assembly is possible.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Stehleuchte, welche die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist, gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The object is achieved by a floor lamp having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung basiert auf der Idee, den Leuchtenkopf derart an der Leuchtensäule zu befestigen, daß er von einer Transportstellung, in welcher er im wesentlichen parallel zu der Leuchtensäule angeordnet ist, in eine Betriebsstellung, in welcher er im wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet ist, bewegbar - vorzugsweise drehbar - und in dieser Betriebsstellung arretierbar ist.The solution according to the invention is based on the idea of attaching the luminaire head to the luminaire column in such a way that it can be moved from a transport position, in which it is arranged substantially parallel to the luminaire column, into an operating position in which it is oriented substantially horizontally, preferably rotatable - and can be locked in this operating position.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße besondere Halterung des Leuchtenkopfs an der Leuchtensäule werden zwei Problemstellungen gleichzeitig gelöst. Zum einen wird der Transport der Leuchte deutlich vereinfacht, da in diesem Fall der Leuchtenkopf derart ausgerichtet ist, daß das gemeinsame Element bestehend aus Leuchtensäule und Leuchtenkopf wenig Platz in Anspruch nimmt. Die Kombination bestehend aus Leuchtensäule und Leuchtenkopf läßt sich damit in einfacher Weise verpacken und transportieren. Auf der anderen Seite wird die Endmontage der erfindungsgemäßen Stehleuchte deutlich vereinfacht, da hierzu der Leuchtenkopf einfach von der Transportstellung in die Betriebsstellung verschwenkt werden und dort arretiert werden muß. Der besondere Vorteil dieser Lösung besteht darin, daß die Verdrahtung zur Stromversorgung der in dem Leuchtenkopf angeordneten Lichtquelle(n) bereits werksseitig, also vor dem Versenden der Leuchte erfolgen kann. Ein Käufer der Leuchte muß also nicht mehr aufwendig die endgültige Verdrahtung herstellen. Die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte kann dementsprechend auch in einfacher Weise von Personen montiert werden, welche mit der Herstellung von elektrischen Verbindungen nicht weiter vertraut sind.The inventive special holder of the lamp head on the light column two problems are solved simultaneously. On the one hand, the transport of the lamp is greatly simplified, since in this case the lamp head is oriented such that the common element consisting of light column and lamp head takes up little space. The combination consisting of light column and lamp head can thus be packaged and transported in a simple manner. On the other hand, the final assembly of the floor lamp according to the invention is considerably simplified, since for this purpose the lamp head can be easily pivoted from the transport position to the operating position and must be locked there. The particular advantage of this solution is that the wiring for the power supply of the arranged in the lamp head light source (s) already at the factory, so before sending the lamp can be done. A buyer of the lamp does not have to make the final wiring consuming. Accordingly, the luminaire according to the invention can also be mounted in a simple manner by persons who are not familiar with the production of electrical connections.

Die erfindungsgemäße Halterung des Leuchtenkopfs an der Leuchtensäule erfolgt vorzugsweise mittels eines Drehlagers, welches insbesondere eine Lagerhülse umfassen kann, über welche der Leuchtenkopf mit der Leuchtensäule verbunden ist. Die Verdrahtung zur Stromversorgung des Leuchtenkopfs kann dann in einfacher Weise durch die Lagerhülse geführt werden, so daß am äußeren Gehäuse der Leuchte verlaufende Leitungen vermieden werden.The inventive holder of the lamp head to the light column is preferably carried out by means of a pivot bearing, which may in particular comprise a bearing sleeve, via which the lamp head is connected to the light column. The wiring for the power supply of the lamp head can then be performed in a simple manner by the bearing sleeve, so that the outer casing of the luminaire extending lines are avoided.

Die Arretierung des Leuchtenkopfs erfolgt vorzugsweise mittels einer Schraubverbindung, insbesondere mittels zweier Schraubverbindungen, welche zu beiden Seiten des Drehlagers angeordnet sind. Die Schraubverbindungen können dabei jeweils eine an dem Leuchtenkopf angeordnete Schraube umfassen, welche mit einer an der Leuchtensäule befindlichen Mutter zusammenwirkt. Um auch hier das Montieren der Leuchte zu vereinfachen, sind die Schrauben vorzugsweise mittels eines Sicherungselementes an dem Leuchtenkopf gesichert, so daß diese bereits bei der Verpackung der Leuchte in geeigneter Weise vorpositioniert werden können und dementsprechend für die Endmontage der Leuchte lediglich angezogen werden müssen.The locking of the lamp head is preferably carried out by means of a screw connection, in particular by means of two screw connections, which are arranged on both sides of the pivot bearing. The screw connections may each comprise one arranged on the lamp head screw, which cooperates with a mother located on the light column. In order to simplify the mounting of the lamp, the screws are preferably secured by means of a fuse element to the lamp head, so that they can be pre-positioned in the packaging of the lamp in a suitable manner and accordingly need only be tightened for the final assembly of the lamp.

Der Leuchtenkopf kann in klassischer Weise wie vorbeschrieben ausgestaltet und insbesondere langgestreckt ausgebildet sein, wobei innerhalb des Leuchtenkopfs dann zumindest eine Fassung zur Halterung einer länglichen Lichtquelle, insbesondere einer Gasentladungslampe angeordnet ist. Ferner kann der Leuchtenkopf ein Lichtbeeinflussungselement zur Beeinflussung des von der Lichtquelle abgegebenen Lichts aufweisen, wobei das Lichtbeeinflussungselement insbesondere durch ein Zellenraster gebildet sein kann.The lamp head can be configured in a classical manner as described above and in particular elongated, wherein at least one socket for holding an elongate light source, in particular a gas discharge lamp, is then arranged inside the lamp head. Furthermore, the lamp head can have a light influencing element for influencing the light emitted by the light source, wherein the light influencing element can be formed in particular by a cell grid.

Stehleuchten der gattungsgemäßen Art sind oftmals auch derart ausgestaltet, daß sie zusätzlich zur direkten Lichtabstrahlung auch eine gewisse Indirektbeleuchtung ermöglichen. Diese Option besteht bei der Leuchte gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ebenfalls, wobei in diesem Fall der Leuchtenkopf dann derart ausgestaltet ist, daß er - in der Betriebsstellung - an seiner Oberseite eine Lichtabgabe ermöglicht. Hierzu kann der Leuchtenkopf an seiner Oberseite beispielsweise eine transparente Abdeckung aufweisen.Floor lamps of the generic type are often also designed such that they also allow a certain indirect lighting in addition to the direct light emission. This option is also in the lamp according to the present invention, in which case the lamp head is then designed such that it - in the operating position - allows on its upper side a light output. For this purpose, the lamp head on its upper side, for example, have a transparent cover.

Betriebsgeräte zum Betreiben der in dem Leuchtenkopf befindlichen Lichtquelle sind vorzugsweise innerhalb der Leuchtensäule angeordnet, da sie hierbei in besonders sicherer Weise gelagert werden können. Die Verdrahtung von dem Betriebsgerät zu der Lampenfassung erfolgt - wie bereits erwähnt - vorzugsweise durch das Drehlager hindurch.Operating devices for operating the light source located in the light source are preferably arranged within the light column, since they can be stored in a particularly secure manner. The wiring from the operating device to the lamp socket takes place - as already mentioned - preferably through the rotary bearing.

Vorzugsweise weist die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte insgesamt zwei Leuchtenköpfe auf, welche zu beiden Seiten der Leuchtensäule angeordnet sind.Preferably, the lamp according to the invention has a total of two lamp heads, which are arranged on both sides of the light column.

In Fig. 1 ist die allgemein mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 versehene erfindungsgemäße Stehleuchte in perspektivischer Ansicht gezeigt, während hingegen die Fig. 2 und 3 seitliche Ansichten der Leuchte 1 zeigen. In klassischer Weise weist die erfindungsgemäße Leuchte 1 eine langgestreckte und im aufgestellten Zustand im wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichtete Leuchtensäule 2 auf, die durch einen Profilkörper gebildet ist. An ihrer Unterseite ist die Leuchtensäule 2 an einem Leuchtenfuß 3 befestigt, der im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine U-Form aufweist, allerdings auch anderweitig ausgestaltet sein könnte.In Fig. 1, the floor lamp according to the invention generally provided with the reference numeral 1 is shown in a perspective view, while on the other hand, Figs. 2 and 3 show side views of the lamp 1. In a classical manner, the luminaire 1 according to the invention has an elongated and in the erected state substantially vertically aligned luminous column 2, which is formed by a profile body. On its underside, the light column 2 is attached to a lamp base 3, which has a U-shape in the illustrated embodiment, but could also be configured otherwise.

An dem dem Leuchtenfuß 3 gegenüberliegenden oberen Ende der Leuchtensäule 2 sind zwei Leuchtenköpfe 10 angeordnet, welche zu beiden Seiten der Leuchtensäule 2 befestigt sind. Wie später noch näher beschrieben ist, sind innerhalb der Leuchtenköpfe 10 jeweils langgestreckte Lichtquellen angeordnet, deren Licht durch ein in dem Leuchtenkopf 10 befindliches Lichtbeeinflussungselement gerichtet zur Unterseite hin abgestrahlt wird. Auf diese Weise wird insbesondere auch die Ausleuchtung von Arbeitsplätzen bzw. Arbeitsflächen ermöglicht, da mit Hilfe des Lichtbeeinflussungselements sichergestellt werden kann, daß das Licht blendfrei zur Unterseite hin abgestrahlt wird. Unerwünschte Reflexionen, beispielsweise auf Bildschirm-Oberflächen können auf diese Weise vermieden werden.At the upper end of the light column 2 opposite the lamp base 3, two lamp heads 10 are arranged, which are fastened to both sides of the light column 2. As will be described in more detail later, elongate light sources are respectively arranged within the lamp heads 10, the light of which is emitted by a light influencing element located in the lamp head 10 toward the bottom side. In this way, in particular, the illumination of workplaces or work surfaces is possible because it can be ensured with the help of the light influencing element that the light is emitted without glare towards the bottom. Unwanted reflections, for example on screen surfaces, can be avoided in this way.

Die Leuchtenköpfe 10 sind darüber hinaus auch derart ausgestaltet, daß ein Teil des von den Lichtquellen abgegebenen Lichts zur Oberseite hin abgestrahlt wird. Auf diese Weise wird eine zusätzliche Indirektbeleuchtung ermöglicht, da das Licht der Lichtquellen auch auf die Decke eines Raums, in dem sich die Stehleuchte befindet, geworfen und dort diffus reflektiert wird.The lamp heads 10 are also designed in such a way that part of the light emitted by the light sources is emitted to the top. In this way, an additional indirect lighting is made possible because the light from the light sources is also thrown onto the ceiling of a room in which the floor lamp is located, where it is diffusely reflected.

Die Darstellung in den Fig. 1 bis 3 verdeutlicht, daß die Leuchtenköpfe 10 horizontal ausgerichtet, also in der dargestellten Montage-Endposition im wesentlichen senkrecht zur vertikal orientierten Leuchtensäule 2 angeordnet sind. Ein Transport dieser Leuchte 1 in diesem Zustand ist selbstverständlich nicht sinnvoll, da die Kombination bestehen aus Säule 2 und Leuchtenköpfen 10 zuviel Platz beanspruchen würde.The illustration in Figs. 1 to 3 illustrates that the lamp heads 10 are aligned horizontally, that are arranged in the illustrated assembly end position substantially perpendicular to the vertically oriented light column 2. A transport of this lamp 1 in this state is of course not useful, since the combination of column 2 and lamp heads 10 would take too much space.

Üblicherweise wurden deshalb bislang bei Stehleuchten der dargestellten Art die Leuchtenköpfe getrennt von der Leuchtensäule verpackt. Erst bei der Endmontage der Leuchte wurden dann die Leuchtenköpfe an der Säule befestigt. Der Aufwand hierfür war verhältnismäßig hoch, da nach der Befestigung der Leuchtenköpfe an der Säule zusätzlich auch noch die Verdrahtung für die in den Leuchtenköpfen befindlichen Lichtquellen vorgenommen werden mußte.Usually, therefore, the luminaire heads have been packed separately from the light column in floor lamps of the type shown. Only at the final assembly of the lamp then the lamp heads were attached to the column. The effort for this was relatively high, since after the attachment of the lamp heads on the column in addition also the wiring for the light heads located in the lamp heads had to be made.

Das vorbeschriebene Problem wird erfindungsgemäß nunmehr dadurch umgangen, daß die Leuchtenköpfe 10 in besonderer Weise an der Leuchtensäule 2 befestigt sind. Diese besondere Art der Befestigung, welche einen deutlich einfacheren Transport der Leuchte sowie eine schneller durchzuführende Endmontage ermöglicht, soll nachfolgend anhand der Fig. 5 und 6 erläutert werden.The above problem is inventively circumvented now that the lamp heads 10 are attached to the light column 2 in a special way. This particular type of attachment, which allows a much easier transport of the lamp and a quicker to perform final assembly is to be explained below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht darin, daß die Leuchtenköpfe 10 derart an der Leuchtensäule 2 befestigt sind, daß sie zwischen einer Transportstellung, die in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist, und einer Betriebsstellung, die in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist, bewegt werden können. Besonderes Kennzeichen der Betriebsstellung ist, daß die Leuchtenköpfe 10 im wesentlichen parallel zu der Leuchtensäule 2 ausgerichtet sind. Die Anordnung bestehend aus Leuchtensäule 2 und Leuchtenköpfen 10 nimmt in dieser Stellung deutlich weniger Platz in Anspruch, so daß diese Anordnung in einfacher Weise als Einheit verpackt und transportiert werden kann. In der Betriebsstellung gemäß Fig. 5 hingegen sind die Leuchtenköpfe 10 - wie auch in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellt - senkrecht zur Leuchtensäule 2 ausgerichtet, so daß sie also im aufgestellten Zustand der Leuchte 1 im wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet sind. Durch die Möglichkeit, die Leuchtenköpfe in einfacher Weise von der Transportstellung gemäß Fig. 4 in die Betriebsstellung gemäß Fig. 5 zu überführen, wird einerseits der Transport der Leuchten und andererseits deren Endmontage deutlich vereinfacht.The solution according to the invention is that the lamp heads 10 are fixed to the light column 2 so that it can be moved between a transport position, which is shown in Fig. 4, and an operating position, which is shown in Fig. 5. A special feature of the operating position is that the lamp heads 10 are aligned substantially parallel to the light column 2. The arrangement consisting of light column 2 and lamp heads 10 takes in this position significantly less space, so that this arrangement can be easily packaged and transported as a unit. In the operating position shown in FIG. 5, however, the lamp heads 10 - as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 - aligned perpendicular to the light column 2, so that they are thus oriented horizontally in the erected state of the lamp 1 substantially. Due to the possibility to transfer the lamp heads in a simple manner from the transport position shown in FIG. 4 in the operating position shown in FIG. 5, on the one hand the transport of the lights and on the other hand their final assembly is significantly simplified.

Bevor die besondere Art der Befestigung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 an der Leuchtensäule 2 näher erläutert wird, soll kurz nochmals der Aufbau der Leuchtenköpfe 10 näher beschrieben werden. Insbesondere gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 5 ist innerhalb eines jeden Leuchtenkopfs 10 eine Lampenfassung 11 zur Halterung einer länglichen Lichtquelle 12, insbesondere einer Leuchtstofflampe angeordnet. Das Licht dieser Leuchtstofflampe 12 soll gerichtet zur Unterseite hin abgestrahlt werden, wozu innerhalb der Leuchtenköpfe 10 jeweils ein Lichtbeeinflussungselement in Form eines Zellenrasters 13 angeordnet ist. Wie insbesondere den Darstellungen in den Fig. 9 bis 11 entnommen werden kann, besteht das Zellenraster 13 aus einem aus einem reflektierenden Material bestehenden Körper 14, der mehrere in Längsrichtung hintereinander angeordnete Öffnungen 15 aufweist, über welche das von den Lichtquellen abgestrahlte Licht zur Unterseite hin abgegeben werden kann. Da die Seitenwandungen der Öffnungen 15 eine gewisse Dicke aufweisen, ist sichergestellt, daß das Licht lediglich in bestimmten Winkelbereichen zur Unterseite hin abgestrahlt wird.Before the particular type of attachment of the lamp heads 10 is explained in more detail on the light column 2, the structure of the lamp heads 10 will be briefly described again in more detail. In particular, as shown in Fig. 5, a lamp holder 11 for holding an elongated light source 12, in particular a fluorescent lamp is disposed within each lamp head 10. The light of this fluorescent lamp 12 is intended to be radiated towards the bottom, for which purpose a light-influencing element in the form of a cell grid 13 is arranged within the lamp heads 10. As can be seen in particular from the illustrations in FIGS. 9 to 11, the cell grid 13 consists of a body 14 consisting of a reflective material, which has a plurality of longitudinally successively arranged openings 15, via which the light emitted by the light sources to the bottom can be delivered. Since the side walls of the openings 15 have a certain thickness, it is ensured that the light is emitted only in certain angular ranges towards the bottom.

Die Leuchtenköpfe 10 sind ferner zur Indirektbeleuchtung ausgebildet, indem sie zur Oberseite hin eine zusätzliche Lichtabstrahlung ermöglichen. Hierzu weisen die Leuchtenköpfe eine transparente Abdeckung 16 auf, welche in Fig. 5 lediglich an dem unteren Leuchtenkopf 10 dargestellt ist. Die Abdeckung 16 wird an den lichtundurchlässigen Seitenwänden 10a und 10b der Leuchtenköpfe 10 befestigt. Stirnseitig werden die Leuchtenköpfe jeweils von einem transparenten Abschlußteil 17 abgeschlossen, welches winkelförmig ausgestaltet ist und auch noch einen Endbereich der inneren Seitenwand 10a des Leuchtenkopfs 10 übergreift.The lamp heads 10 are also designed for indirect lighting by allowing the upper side an additional light emission. For this purpose, the lamp heads on a transparent cover 16, which is shown in Fig. 5 only on the lower lamp head 10. The cover 16 is attached to the opaque side walls 10a and 10b of the lamp heads 10. On the front side, the lamp heads are each terminated by a transparent closing part 17, which is designed angularly and also an end portion of the inner side wall 10a of the lamp head 10 overlaps.

Die bisher beschriebene Ausgestaltung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 entspricht weitestgehend derjenigen eines klassischen Leuchtenkopfs. Die Besonderheit der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte besteht nunmehr in der speziellen Befestigung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 an der Leuchtensäule 2, welche nachfolgend erläutert werden soll.The previously described embodiment of the lamp heads 10 largely corresponds to that of a classic lamp head. The peculiarity of the lamp according to the invention now consists in the special attachment of the lamp heads 10 to the light column 2, which will be explained below.

Das Überführen der Leuchtenköpfe 10 von der Transportstellung in die Betriebsstellung wird vorzugsweise dadurch erreicht, daß die Leuchtenköpfe 10 um eine senkrecht zur Längsachse der Leuchtensäule 2 verlaufende Achse schwenkbar gelagert sind. Dies wird mit Hilfe eines Drehlagers 20 ermöglicht, welches die Leuchtensäule 2 jeweils mit einem Leuchtenkopf 10 verbindet. Entsprechend der Darstellung in den Fig. 4 und 5 weist das Drehlager im wesentlichen eine zylinderförmige Lagerhülse 21 auf, welche einerseits eine Öffnung in der Wandung der Leuchtensäule 2 und andererseits eine Öffnung in der inneren Seitenwand 10a des Leuchtenkopfs 10 sowie auch das transparente Abschlußteil 17 durchgreift. Um ein ungewolltes Lösen des Leuchtenkopfs 10 von der Leuchtensäule 2 zu verhindern, ist die Lagerhülse 21 mittels eines Halterings 22 an der Leuchtensäule 2 gesichert.The transfer of the lamp heads 10 from the transport position to the operating position is preferably achieved in that the lamp heads 10 are pivotally mounted about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the light column 2 extending axis. This is made possible by means of a rotary bearing 20, which connects the light column 2 each with a lamp head 10. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the pivot bearing essentially a cylindrical bearing sleeve 21, which on the one hand an opening in the wall of the light column 2 and on the other hand, an opening in the inner side wall 10a of the Lamp head 10 and the transparent end part 17 passes through. In order to prevent accidental release of the lamp head 10 of the light column 2, the bearing sleeve 21 is secured by means of a retaining ring 22 on the light column 2.

Das Drehlager 20 ermöglicht also das gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung vorgesehene Verschwenken des Leuchtenkopfs 10 relativ zur Leuchtensäule 2. Um nunmehr sicherzustellen, daß die Leuchtenköpfe 10 dauerhaft in der Betriebsstellung, also horizontal ausgerichtet bleiben, müssen Maßnahmen getroffen werden, welche ein Arretieren der Leuchtenköpfe 10 in dieser Stellung ermöglichen. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung sind hierzu mehrere Schraubverbindungen vorgesehen, welche jeweils eine an dem Leuchtenkopf 10 befindliche Schraube 25 sowie eine mit dieser Schraube 25 zusammenwirkende und an der Leuchtensäule 2 befindliche Mutter 30 aufweisen. Vorzugsweise werden die Schrauben 25 jeweils durch Zylinderkopfschrauben mit einem Innensechskant gebildet, die Muttern 30 werden durch Nietmuttern gebildet.In order to ensure that the lamp heads 10 remain permanently aligned in the operating position, ie horizontally, measures must be taken which lock the lamp heads 10 in. In order to ensure now that the lamp heads 10 permanently aligned in the operating position enable this position. In the embodiment according to the present invention, a plurality of screw connections are provided for this purpose, which in each case have a screw 25 located on the lamp head 10 and a nut 30 cooperating with this screw 25 and located on the light column 2. Preferably, the screws 25 are each formed by cylinder head bolts with a hexagon socket, the nuts 30 are formed by rivet nuts.

Die Montage der Leuchte wird ferner dadurch vereinfacht, daß die Zylinderkopfschrauben 25 bereits in den Leuchtenköpfen 10 vormontiert sind. Um ein ungewolltes Herausfallen der vormontierten Schrauben 25 zu verhindern, sind sie mittels Sicherungsscheiben 26 und Sicherungselementen in Form von Unverlierbarkeitsscheiben 27 gesichert. Nach einem Verschwenken der Leuchtenköpfe 10 in die Betriebsstellung müssen die Schrauben 25 also lediglich festgezogen werden, um eine Arretierung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 dieser Position zu bewirken. Auf diese Weise wird eine besonders einfache Montage der Leuchte 1 ermöglicht.The installation of the lamp is further simplified in that the cylinder head screws 25 are already pre-assembled in the lamp heads 10. In order to prevent unintentional falling out of the preassembled screws 25, they are secured by means of lock washers 26 and securing elements in the form of captive 27. After pivoting the lamp heads 10 in the operating position, the screws 25 must therefore only be tightened to effect a locking of the lamp heads 10 of this position. In this way, a particularly simple installation of the lamp 1 is made possible.

Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen schwenkbaren Anordnung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 an der Leuchtensäule 2 besteht darin, daß ein Endverbraucher keine Verdrahtung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 mehr durchführen muß. Statt dessen kann die Verdrahtung bereits werkseitig erfolgen, da die entsprechenden - nicht dargestellten - Leitungen durch die Lagerhülse 21 des Drehlagers 20 geführt werden können. Auf diese Weise ist eine einfache elektrische Verbindung zwischen den Lampenfassungen 10 und in der Leuchtensäule 2 angeordneten Lampenbetriebsgeräten ermöglicht. Fig. 4 zeigt hierzu beispielsweise die Anordnung eines Lampenbetriebsgerätes in Form eines elektronischen Vorschaltgerätes 8, welches in einfacher Weise mit den Lampenfassungen 11 verbunden werden kann. Wesentlich ist, daß die Verbindung dauerhaft bestehen bleibt und unabhängig davon ist, ob sich die Leuchtenköpfe 10 in der Transportstellung oder in der Betriebsstellung befinden.Another significant advantage of the invention pivotable arrangement of the lamp heads 10 on the light column 2 is that an end user no longer has to perform wiring of the lamp heads 10. Instead, the wiring can already be done at the factory, since the corresponding - not shown - lines can be passed through the bearing sleeve 21 of the pivot bearing 20. In this way, a simple electrical connection between the lamp sockets 10 and arranged in the light column 2 lamp operating devices is possible. For this purpose, FIG. 4 shows, for example, the arrangement of a lamp operating device in the form of an electronic ballast 8, which can be connected in a simple manner to the lamp sockets 11. It is essential that the connection remains permanently and regardless of whether the lamp heads 10 are in the transport position or in the operating position.

Die sich aus der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung der Leuchte besonders einfach ergebende Handhabung bei der Montage der Leuchte wird anhand der Fig. 6 bis 11 deutlich, welche die einzelnen Schritte beim Auspacken und Montieren der Leuchte zeigen.The particularly simple resulting from the inventive design of the lamp handling during assembly of the lamp will be apparent from FIGS. 6 to 11, which show the individual steps when unpacking and mounting the lamp.

Fig. 6 zeigt dabei zunächst die Anordnung der Baueinheit bestehend aus Leuchtensäule 2 und Leuchtenköpfen 10 während des Transports, wobei auf die Darstellung der Umverpackung verzichtet wurde. Die Anordnung ist aufgrund der parallelen Ausrichtung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 zur Leuchtensäule 2 sehr kompakt gehalten und kann mit Hilfe dreier Styroporelemente 40, 41 und 42 sicher innerhalb eines Kartons gelagert werden.Fig. 6 shows first, the arrangement of the assembly consisting of light column 2 and lamp heads 10 during transport, was dispensed with the presentation of the outer packaging. The arrangement is kept very compact due to the parallel orientation of the lamp heads 10 to the light column 2 and can be safely stored with the help of three Styrofoam elements 40, 41 and 42 within a carton.

Nach dem Entfernen des unteren Styroporelementes 42 kann dann die Leuchtensäule 2 an dem getrennt gelieferten Leuchtenfuß 3 befestigt werden, was mit Hilfe von vier Schrauben 5 erfolgt, mit deren Hilfe die Säule 2 an dem Fuß 3 befestigt wird. In einem darauffolgenden Schritt in Fig. 8 werden die beiden weiteren Styroporelemente 40 und 41 entfernt, woraufhin dann die Leuchtenköpfe - wie in Fig. 9 dargestellt - um ca. 90° aus der Transportstellung in die senkrecht zur Leuchtensäule 2 orientierte Betriebsstellung um die Drehachse I verschwenkt werden.After removal of the lower styrofoam 42 then the light column 2 can be attached to the separately supplied lamp base 3, which is done by means of four screws 5, by means of which the column 2 is attached to the foot 3. In a subsequent step in Fig. 8, the two further Styrofoam elements 40 and 41 are removed, whereupon then the lamp heads - as shown in Fig. 9 - by about 90 ° from the transport position in the perpendicular to the light column 2 oriented operating position about the axis of rotation I. be pivoted.

Die Arretierung der Leuchtenköpfe 10 erfolgt in dieser Betriebsstellung dann durch das zuvor beschriebene Festziehen der beiden Schrauben 25, die jeweils zu beiden Seiten eines Drehlagers 20 angeordnet sind. Abschließend werden gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 11 die Lichtquellen 12 in die Lampenfassungen 11 eingesetzt. Die Leuchtenköpfe 10 können dann an ihrer Oberseite noch mit einem - nicht dargestellten - transparenten Abdeckelement verschlossen werden, über welches die Indirektbeleuchtung erzielt wird.The locking of the lamp heads 10 takes place in this operating position then by the previously described tightening the two screws 25, which are respectively arranged on both sides of a pivot bearing 20. Finally, as shown in FIG. 11, the light sources 12 are inserted into the lamp sockets 11. The lamp heads 10 can then be closed at their top with a - not shown - transparent cover over which the indirect lighting is achieved.

Die zuvor beschriebenen Schritte verdeutlichen, daß die Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Leuchte in einfacher und schneller Weise durchzuführen ist. Hierbei ist insbesondere von Bedeutung, daß die Verdrahtung bereits werkseitig erfolgt ist und dementsprechend bei der Endmontage selbst nicht mehr durchzuführen ist. Das aufstellen und Montieren der Leuchte kann dementsprechend auch von Personen durchgeführt werden, die weniger Erfahrung in der Herstellung elektrischer Verbindungen aufweisen.The steps described above illustrate that the assembly of the lamp according to the invention is carried out in a simple and fast manner. In this case, it is of particular importance that the wiring has already been made at the factory and accordingly no longer has to be carried out during final assembly itself. The installation and mounting of the luminaire can accordingly also be carried out by persons who have less experience in the production of electrical connections.

Auf der anderen Seite ist die Baueinheit bestehend aus Leuchtensäule und Leuchtenköpfe in der Transportstellung sehr kompakt, so daß ein einfacher Transport der Leuchtenelemente ermöglicht ist.On the other hand, the assembly consisting of light column and lamp heads in the transport position is very compact, so that a simple transport of the lamp elements is possible.
