  • Publication number: 20150201762
    Abstract: The invention relates to a suspension device for presenting goods, comprising first of all a profiled rail (1), into which an electrical profiled element (2) is inserted, through which electrical conductors (24) on an insulating base (20) extend. The electrical conductors are accessible via a passage (10) of the profiled rail (1) that opens to the outside. The suspension device further comprises a primary support (4) that can be hung in the profiled rail (1) and has an insertion section (41) that can be inserted into the passage (10). An adapter (5,6) is arranged on the primary support (4). Said adapter is designed to tap current on the electrical conductors (24) in order to operate an electrical load, in particular a lighting unit (7). An electrical supply line (79) extends from the adapter (5) to the lighting unit (7). The adapter (5, 6) has current collectors (54, 64) having resilient contacts (541,641), which are intended to tap current on the electrical conductors (24).

  • Publication number: 20130098855
    Abstract: The invention relates to the device for displaying articles, comprising a mounting (2) which has an internal cavity (25) with a cavity opening (250) and which is intended for fixing on a supporting structure (9). The device also comprises a primary support (3) which has an end piece (30) that is designed complementary to the cavity (25) and which is intended to be hooked into the mounting (2) in the cavity (25) in a stationary manner with the end piece (30) inserted through the cavity opening (250). The configuration of the end piece (30) on the primary support (3) and of the cavity (25) in the mounting (2) requires that the end piece (30) is inserted into the cavity opening (250) in an end piece (30) position that is inclined relative to the horizontal with the free end of the end piece (30) being lowered. When the intended hooked end position between the primary support (3) and the mounting (2) is achieved, the end piece (30) is inserted into the cavity (25) to the maximum depth.

  • Patent number: 7122744
    Abstract: The profiled rail (1) is designed for a suspension device having carriers (6) which can be plugged into the profiled rail (1) and on which articles can be suspended or set down. The profiled rail (1) is fastened horizontally on a carrying structure (9) and has a passage (10) which extends from a front entry point and into which the carriers (6) can be plugged. Arranged within the profiled rail (1) is a conductor rail (2) with current conductors (24,27) which is supplied with electricity via a power supply (3), the current conductors being accessible from the passage (10) for the purpose of tapping electricity for supplying a consuming unit (7) which can be connected via a feed line (46). The current conductors (24,27) can be tapped in an uninterrupted manner over their entire axial extent by means of an adapter (4) which can be pushed into the passage (10), can be positioned along the profiled rail (1) and can be connected and disconnected.
