  • Patent number: 11982429
    Abstract: A luminaire system has a support rail comprising an elongated support profile and a current conducting profile arranged therein, as well as a component (electrical or electronic) with a coupling element for electrically and mechanically coupling the component to the support rail via an opening in the support profile. The luminaire system has a component with a coupling member that electrically couples and mechanically couples various components, said coupling member also having a blocking element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11761621
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming a luminaire (1), which has a trough-shaped luminaire housing (10, 110) having a region (25, 125) for accommodating illuminants, which is surrounded by a seal (40), a cover (70, 80) which spans the region (25, 125) and abuts the seal (40) in a peripherally closed manner, a frame-like holding element (50, 150), which presses the cover (70, 80) into abutment with the seal (40). For the luminaire housing (10 110), the cover (70, 80) and the holding element (50, 150), are each available in at least two different variants, which can be combined in any way, wherein in order to form the luminaire (1) according to desired output properties and/or properties with regard to heat dissipation or moisture resistance, a suitable luminaire housing (10, 110), a cover (70, 80) and a holding element (50, 150) are in each case selected and the selected components are assembled to form the luminaire (1).

  • Patent number: 11732854
    Abstract: A trough-shaped lamp housing (10) which is integrally produced in a deep-drawing process and has a housing bottom (11) and a housing wall (12) which laterally surrounds the housing bottom (11) and which, together with the housing bottom (11), delimits a lamp chamber, wherein the housing bottom (11) has a planar region (20, 25) for receiving at least one lamp component (120, 130) in a planar manner, wherein the planar region (20, 25) is circumferentially surrounded by a raised and/or recessed annular structure (35) which is integrally formed in a deep-drawing process, and wherein the housing wall (12) discontinues at the circumferential edge thereof that faces away from the housing bottom (11) in a circumferentially closed edge portion (16), which lies in a plane.
