Abstract: A lighting rail for at least one lighting device, the lighting device being provided with a contact part for electrical contact with a conducting strip of the lighting rail, and with clamping and tension means to press the contact part against the conducting strip, wherein the lighting rail comprises a substantially U-shaped support element, a live conducting rail fitting into the support element and insulating means for insulating the conducting strip from the live conducting rail fitting therein, wherein the support element and the live conducting rail comprise cooperating attaching means to releasably attach the live conducting rail in the support element by snapping.

Abstract: Suspension and securing system for a painting, a lamp or the like or for securing sheets of paper. The system includes a U-shaped rail (2) of which a leg (4) has an arm (6) for forming a supporting surface (7). Situated above the supporting surface is an application surface (8) formed by a portion (9) of the leg so as to provide for an insertion space (10). A securing apparatus (11) includes a supporting element (12) and a bearing member (13). The supporting element is proportioned such that it can pivot between one leg (5) and the arm (6) of another leg (4). A projection (14) of the securing apparatus (11) has a shape fitting into the insertion space (10) so that this projection can be disposed in the insertion space with a surface (15) thereof lying against the leg (5) of the rail.
