In this area is made of a sheet metal strip and end of the insulation displacement contact defining contact body slotted so that two parallel to each other U-shaped curved legs are formed. A knife-like Contact of a plug finds between these. Several such contacts are in a corresponding one Plug housing housed. These contacts are different designed as a cage tension spring and thus allow the screwless connection of cables.

Die Kontaktsicherheit hängt in erheblichem Maße von der Justagegenauigkeit der Buchsenkontakte ab. Außerdem ist zur Änderung der Zuordnung von mit dem Stecker verbundenen Leitungen zu den durchlaufenden, mit den Buchsenkontakten verbundenen Leitungen ein Ändern der Verdrahtung des Steckers erforderlich. Zum Lösen der Käfigzugfedern und zum Wiederanklemmen sind jedoch Sachkunde und mindestens Grundkenntnisse über die gewählte Kontaktierungsart erforderlich.The contact security depends to a considerable extent on the adjustment accuracy of the socket contacts from. Furthermore is to change the assignment of connected to the plug Leads to the continuous, with the socket contacts connected wires changing the wiring of the plug required. To release the cage tension springs and for re-clamping, however, are expertise and at least basic knowledge of the selected Kontaktierungsart required.

Aus der Praxis ist außerdem ein Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem bekannt, bei dem eine Buchsenleiste für einen verstellbaren Stecker vorgesehen ist, die insgesamt fünf in einer Reihe angeordnete Steckpositionen aufweist. Die in einem Isolierstoffgehäuse gefaßte Buchsenleiste weist insgesamt fünf Kontaktkörper auf, die jeweils zwei Federzungenkontakte zum Anschließen externer Leitungen aufweisen. Diese werden an den betreffenden Kontakt angeschlossen, indem sie endseitig abisoliert und mit dem blanken Leiter in eine dafür vorgesehene Öffnung des Isolierkörpers eingeschoben werden.From practice is also a connection and coupling system known in which a female connector for a adjustable plug is provided, the total of five having in a row arranged plug positions. The in a Isolierstoffgehäuse composed socket strip has a total of five contact bodies, each having two spring tongue contacts have to connect external lines. These are connected to the contact in question, by stripping it from the end and using the bare conductor in a designated opening of the Insulator are inserted.

Der verstellbare Stecker weist in einer Leiste gefaßte Isolierkörper auf, von denen wenigstens einer entlang der Leiste verstellbar ist. Rastmittel sichern die eingestellte Position des jeweiligen Isolierkörpers. Jeder Isolierkörper enthält einen oder mehrere messerartig ausgebildete Kontakte, die aus diesem ragen. Zum Anschluß externer Leitungen ist jeder Kontakt mit zwei Federklemmkontakten versehen, mittels derer endseitig abisolierte und eingeschobene Leitungen angeschlossen werden.The adjustable plug points in a bar gripped insulating body, of which at least one is adjustable along the bar. Secure latching means the set position of the respective insulator. Each insulator contains one or more knife-like trained contacts that stick out of this. To the Connecting external lines is every contact with two Spring terminal contacts provided by means of which end stripped and inserted lines connected become.

An der Buchsenleiste sind die durchgeschleiften Leitungen unterbrochen. Der Kontaktkörper verbindet die hinführende mit der wegführenden Leitung, wobei er für eine entsprechende Strombelastbarkeit ausgelegt sein muß. Nachdem der durchgeschleifte Strom für ein längeres Lichtband erheblich höher ist als der für eine einzelne Leuchte benötigte Strom, ist eine entsprechend kräftige Dimensionierung der Kontakte erforderlich. At the socket strip are looped through Lines interrupted. The contact body connects the leading with the lead - line, whereby he for a corresponding current carrying capacity must be designed. After the looped current for a longer Light band is considerably higher than that for a single Luminaire needed electricity, is a correspondingly powerful Sizing the contacts required.

Der DE-A1-41 27 899 zeigt ein Anschluss- und Kupplungssystem, insbesondere fur Leuchten mit einer Tragschiene und einem Lichtträger, mit einer Dose, die mit der Tragschiene verbindbar ist und die mit Öffnungen zur Durchführung durchlaufender Leitungen versehen ist, mit einem Stecker, der mit dem Lichttrager verbindbar ist, mit an dem Stecker angeordneten Steckkontakten, von denen wenigstens einer in seiner Position derart verstellbar angeordnet ist, dass er wahlweise mit unterschiedlichen Buchsenkontakten in elektrischen Verbindung bringbar ist. Die Buchsenkontakten bestehen aus abisolierten Teile der durchgehenden Leitungen.DE-A1-41 27 899 shows a connection and coupling system, in particular for luminaires with a mounting rail and a light carrier, with a box, which is connectable to the mounting rail and with openings for Implementation of continuous lines is provided, with a plug which is connectable to the light carrier, with arranged on the plug plug contacts, of which at least one in his Position is arranged so adjustable that he can choose with different Socket contacts can be brought into electrical connection. The socket contacts exist from stripped parts of the continuous lines.

Es kann sich als schwierig herausstellen, Teile durchgehender Leitungen abzuisolieren.It may prove difficult to strip parts of continuous lines.

Aus der DE-A-3412778 ist ein elektrisches Vorschaltgerat bekannt, dessen Anschlusse als Schneidklemmkontakte ausgebildet sind. Das quaderformige, langliche Vorschaltgerät ist auf einem Tragerblech montiert. An einem stirnseitigen Ende des Vorschaltgerats erstrecken sich zwei Anschlusslaschen parallel zu dem Trägerblech von dem Vorschaltgerät weg. An dieser Stelle sind Anschlusskorper angeordnet, die Schneidklemmkontakte zum Anschließen des Vorschaltgeräts enthalten.From DE-A-3412778 is an electric ballast known, whose connections designed as insulation displacement contacts are. The cuboid, long ballast is mounted on a support plate. At one end End of the ballast, two connecting straps extend parallel to the carrier plate of the ballast path. At this point terminal bodies are arranged, the Insulation displacement contacts for connecting the ballast contain.

Bei der Anordnung solcher Betriebsmittel an Leuchtenblechen ist eine Verdrahtung der Leuchte erforderlich. Diese enthält außer dem Vorschaltgerät mindestens zwei Fassungen, die mit dem Vorschaltgerat zu verbinden sind. Die elektrische Verbindung zu durchgehenden Leitungen in einer Tragschiene muss auf gesonderte Weise hergestellt werden.In the arrangement of such equipment to light panels a wiring of the lamp is required. These contains at least two versions in addition to the ballast, which are to be connected to the ballast. The electric Connection to continuous cables in a mounting rail must be prepared in a separate way.

Aus der DE-A-4312888 ist eine Steckverbindung zum Anschluss von Leuchten an die Leitungen einer Tragschiene in einer Lichtbandanordnung bekannt. Die Steckverbindung weist einen Steckerkorper mit mehreren Abgreiffingern auf, die Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme von abisolierten Teilen durchgehender Leitungen aufweisen.From DE-A-4312888 is a connector for Connection of luminaires to the cables of a mounting rail in a light band arrangement known. The connector points a Steckerkorper with several Abgreiffingern on, the Recesses for receiving stripped parts through Have lines.

Es kann sich als schwierig herausstellen, Teile durchgehender Leitungen abzuisolieren.It can turn out to be difficult, parts through Strip the cables.

Davon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem zu schaffen, das eine einfache Montage, eine hohe Zuverlässigkeit und bedarfsweise eine einfache Einstellbarkeit ermöglicht.On this basis, it is an object of the invention, a Connection and coupling system to create a easy installation, high reliability and as needed allows easy adjustability.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 bzw. mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 2 gelöst.This object is achieved by a connection and coupling system with the features of claim 1 or solved with the features of claim 2.

Das Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem weist eine tragschienenseitig angeordnete Dose mit Öffnungen zum Durchschleifen von Leitungen sowie einen lichtträgerseitig angeordneten Stecker auf, der in die Dose einsteckbar ist. Die durch die Öffnungen der Dose geführten Leitungen werden mittels Schneidklemmkontakten angeschlossen, ohne daß die Leitung dazu durchtrennt werden müßte. Die Strombelastung des Schneidklemmkontaktes entspricht deshalb lediglich der des angeschlossenen Verbrauchers. Sie ist in der Regel weitaus niedriger als der gesamte von der Leitung geführte Strom. Dies ermöglicht es, den Kontakt entsprechend materialsparend zu dimensionieren.The connection and coupling system has a support rail side arranged box with openings for looping of cables and a light carrier side arranged plug, which can be inserted into the box is. The guided through the openings of the box lines are connected by means of insulation displacement contacts, without that the line would have to be cut to it. The current load of the insulation displacement contact therefore corresponds only that of the connected consumer. she is usually far lower than the total of the Conducted electricity. This allows the contact according to material-saving dimensioning.

Darüber hinaus verringert sich die Fehleranfälligkeit des Gesamtsystems der an die durchgeschleiften Leitungen angeschlossenen Verbraucher im Vergleich zu Systemen mit unterbrochenen Leitungen. Unabhängig davon, wieviele Verbraucher an die durchgehenden Leitungen angeschlossen sind, passiert der Strom nur bei dem Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem Kontaktstellen, das dem betreffenden Verbraucher zugeordnet ist. Bei dem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten System mit Einsteckkontakten wechselt der Strom dagegen bei jedem Verbraucher aus der hinführenden Leitung auf einen Kontakt und von diesem auf eine wegführende Leitung.In addition, the error rate is reduced of the entire system to the looped through Lines connected consumers compared to Systems with broken lines. Independently of, How many consumers are connected to the continuous lines connected, the current only happens at the connection and coupling system contact points that the associated consumers. In the case of the Prior art known system with plug-in contacts on the other hand, the electricity changes with each consumer leading line to a contact and from this on a leading line.

Die Schneidklemmkontakte gestatten es außerdem, die durchlaufende Leitung zu kontaktieren, ohne daß diese abisoliert werden müßte. Die Montage ist entsprechend einfach und kostensparend. The insulation displacement contacts also allow the to contact continuous line, without these should be stripped. The assembly is appropriate easy and cost effective.

Bei der von dem Anspruch 1 beanspruchten Ausführungsform ist außerdem wenigstens einer der an dem Stekker angeordneten Steckkontakte in seiner Position derart verstellbar, daß er wahlweise in unterschiedliche Buchsenkontakte eingesteckt werden kann. Damit kann auf einfache Weise der Leiter, an den ein Verbraucher mittels des Steckers anzuschließen ist, gewechselt werden. Dies kann ohne Spezialwerkzeug auf einfache Weise vorgenommen werden.In the claimed claim 1 embodiment is also at least one of the Stekker arranged plug contacts in its position such adjustable, that he optionally in different socket contacts can be inserted. This can be on simple way the ladder to which a consumer means of the plug is to be changed. This Can be done easily without special tools become.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung ist, daß die Dose in einen Dosensockel und einen Buchsen- oder Grundkörper zweigeteilt ist. Dabei begrenzen der Dosensockel und der Grundkörper Öffnungen zur Leitungsdurchführung, in denen die Schneidklemmkontakte sitzen. Der Dosensokkel dient als Werkzeug zum gleichzeitigen Einpressen der zu kontaktierenden Leitungen in die fest in dem Grundkörper gehaltenen Schneidklemmkontakte bzw. deren Schlitze. Nach erfolgtem Einpressen deckt der Dosensockel die kontaktierten Leitungen ab und ist mit einem bspw. als Rastmittel ausgebildeten Haltemittel an diesem befestigt. Damit ist es möglich, die durchlaufenden Leitungen ohne Zuhilfenahme besonderer Werkzeuge gewissermaßen vor Ort anzuschließen, wobei das zum Leitungsanschluß erforderliche Einpreßwerkzeug von der Dose selbst gebildet wird.Another aspect of the invention is that the can in a socket and a socket or body is divided into two parts. The socket base limits this and the main body openings for cable feedthrough, in which the insulation displacement contacts sit. The canoshok serves as a tool for simultaneous pressing of the to be contacted lines in the fixed in the body held insulation displacement contacts or their slots. After pressing in, the socket covers the contacted lines and is with a example. As Locking means formed holding means attached to this. This makes it possible, the continuous lines without Use of special tools, so to speak locally to connect, which required for the line connection Pressing tool is made of the can itself.

Bei einem alle o.g. Vorteile aufweisenden Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem sind sowohl die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 als auch die des Patentanspruches 2 verwirklicht.At one all o.g. Benefits of having connection and coupling system are both the features of claim 1 as well as that of claim 2 realized.

Einfache Kontaktformen werden erhalten, wenn der Schneidklemmkontakt mit dem Buchsenkontakt einstückig ausgebildet ist. Es reduziert sich hierbei auch die Anzahl der Stromübergänge. Simple forms of contact are obtained when the Insulation displacement contact with the socket contact in one piece is trained. It also reduces the Number of current transitions.

Eine sowohl elektrisch als auch fertigungstechnisch vorteilhafte Variante des Anschluß- und Kupplungssystemes weist einen Schneidklemmkontakt auf, der durch zwei vorzugsweise einstückig miteinander verbundene Kontaktblechabschnitte gebildet ist, die mit ihren Flachseiten im wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordnet sind, sich teilweise berühren und zwischen die der Steckkontakt einschiebbar ist. Ein zwischen diese Kontaktblechabschnitte eingeschobener spaten- oder messerförmig ausgebildeter Steckkontakt bildet somit wenigstens vier Linienberührungen mit den Kontaktblechabschnitten und im Idealfall bilden sich durchgehende Linienberührungen aus. Eine solche Steckverbindung erweist sich als zuverlässig und sicher. Dabei wird die Kontaktierung noch verbessert, wenn die Kontaktblechabschnitte federnd aufeinander zu gespannt sind.One both electrical and manufacturing technology advantageous variant of the connection and coupling system has an insulation displacement contact by two preferably integrally interconnected contact plate sections is formed, with their flat sides are arranged substantially parallel to each other, itself partially touch and between the the plug contact is insertable. One between these contact sheet sections inserted spade- or knife-shaped Plug contact thus forms at least four line contacts with the contact sheet sections and in the Ideally, continuous lines are formed. Such a connector proves to be reliable and sure. At the same time the contacting is improved when the contact sheet sections resiliently toward each other are curious.

Wenn wenigstens einer der Schneidklemmkontakte mit einem von außen zugänglichen Einsteckanschluß versehen ist, kann an der Dose ein weiterer Abgriff, bspw. für einen Schutzleiter, vorgesehen werden. Der bspw. durch eine Gehäuseöffnung zugängliche Einsteckanschluß dient dem Anschluß der Tragschiene an den Schutzleiter. Es können einheitliche Schneidklemmkontakte für alle Anschlußpositionen verwendet werden, wobei die nicht benötigten Einsteckanschlüsse unbenutzt bleiben.If at least one of the insulation displacement contacts with provided an externally accessible plug-in connection is, can at the box another tap, for example. For a protective conductor, be provided. The example. By a housing opening accessible plug-in connection is used the connection of the mounting rail to the protective conductor. It can uniform insulation displacement contacts for all connection positions be used, with the unneeded Plug-in connections remain unused.

Die Steckkontakte, von denen vorzugsweise wenigstens einer in seiner Position derart verstellbar ausgebildet ist, daß er auf mehrere Buchsen gewissermaßen umgeschaltet werden kann, können an einem Kontaktsockel gelagert sein, der von dem Stecker getrennt und von diesem gehalten ist.The plug contacts, of which preferably at least one formed in its position so adjustable is that it switched to several sockets in a sense can be stored on a contact socket be separated from the plug and held by this is.

Der Kontaktsockel ist als separates Bauteil vorzugsweise mit dem Stecker verrastbar, so daß er, nachdem er mit einem Einsteckkontakt versehen worden ist, einfach in den Stecker eingeschoben wird. Damit ergibt sich eine besonders einfache Montage und eine nachträgliche Nachrüstmöglichkeit mit weiteren Steckkontakten auf bspw. zunächst leeren Positionen.The contact socket is preferred as a separate component locked with the plug, so that he, after he has been provided with a male, just in the plug is inserted. This results in a particularly easy installation and retrofitting option with other plug contacts on bspw. first empty positions.

Der Kontaktsockel ist als Schlitten oder Schieber ausgebildet, der den Steckkontakt in seiner Ausrichtung sicher hält. Zugleich kann der Kontaktsockel ohne weiteres, bspw. mittels eines kleinen Schraubendrehers, verschoben werden. Rastpositionen sichern den Kontaktsockel dabei in vorausgewählten Positionen.The contact socket is as a slide or slider formed, which the plug contact in its orientation holds securely. At the same time, the contact socket can easily, eg. By means of a small screwdriver, moved become. Lock positions secure the contact socket doing so in preselected positions.

Obwohl prinzipiell unterschiedliche Richtungen für die Verschiebung des Kontaktsockels denkbar sind, ergibt sich eine sowohl übersichtliche als auch konstruktiv einfache Lösung, wenn der verschiebbare Kontaktsockel in dem Stecker quer zu der Richtung der durch die Dose führenden fünf Leitungen verschiebbar gehalten ist. Damit ist die Zuordnung zwischen Position des Steckkontaktes und angeschlossener Leitung leicht erkennbar und Fehlfunktionen, die zu unter Umständen nicht sofort erkennbaren Fehlschaltungen führen, werden vermieden.Although in principle different directions for the displacement of the contact socket are conceivable results One is both clear and constructive simple solution if the sliding contact socket in the plug across the direction of the leading through the can five lines is slidably held. In order to is the assignment between position of the plug contact and connected line easily recognizable and malfunction, which may not be immediately recognizable Faulty circuits are avoided.

Der Kontaktsockel kann zur besseren Erkennbarkeit der verschiebbaren Teile des Steckers farblich abgesetzt sein. Dies erleichtert die Bedienung.The contact socket can for better visibility the sliding parts of the plug colored be. This facilitates the operation.

Der Steckkontakt ist mit wenigstens einem und vorzugsweise zwei Steckanschlüssen zum Anschluß von Leitungen versehen. Diese sind als vorzugsweise quadratische Einsteckanschlüsse ausgebildet. Solche werden erhalten, indem ausgehend von einer Öffnung mehrere, im konkreten Falle vier, sich radial erstreckende Schlitze oder Einschnitte in das Kontaktmaterial eingebracht werden. Die somit freigeschnittenen federnden Zungen stehen in stumpfem Winkel zu dem übrigen Kontakt und kontaktieren einen eingesteckten Leiter. Gleiches gilt für an den Buchsenkontakten vorgesehene Einsteckanschlüsse. Die quadratischen Einsteckanschlüsse ergeben eine gute Stromübertragung und gute Übertragungssicherheit.The plug contact is at least one and preferably two plug connections for connecting cables Mistake. These are preferably square Plug-in connections formed. Such are obtained starting from one opening several, in concrete Trap four, radially extending slots or cuts be introduced into the contact material. The thus cut out resilient tongues stand in blunt Angle to the remaining contact and contact one plugged in conductor. The same applies to the socket contacts provided plug-in connections. The square ones Plug-in connections provide a good power transmission and good transmission security.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich herausgestellt, den Steckkontakt zweilagig auszubilden, indem ein einenends mit den Einsteckanschlüssen versehener Blechstreifen auf sich selbst gefaltet wird. Der doppelt liegende Blechabschnitt ist selbst dann relativ steif, wenn als Material vergleichsweise dünnes Blech verwendet worden ist. Zugleich werden aber die Zungen des Einsteckanschlusses federnd nachgiebig, so daß relativ kurze Zungenlängen ausreichen. Dies reduziert den Platzbedarf der Einsteckanschlüsse.As advantageous, it has been found that Plug contact two layers form by one end with the plug-in connections provided on sheet metal strip folded itself. The double-lying sheet metal section is relatively stiff even if as a material comparatively thin sheet has been used. At the same time but the tongues of the male connector resilient, so that relatively short tongue lengths suffice. This reduces the space requirement of the plug-in connections.

Die von den zwei aneinanderliegenden Blechabschnitten gebildete Steckerzunge kann zur Erhöhung ihrer Steifigkeit mit einer gewissen, sich über ihre gesamte oder nahezu gesamte Länge erstreckenden, konvexen Krümmung versehen sein. Dies verhindert wirksam ein Verbiegen der Steckerzunge auch bei ungenauem Einstecken in die Dose.The of the two adjacent sheet metal sections formed connector tongue can increase its rigidity with a certain, over their entire or nearly entire length extending, convex curvature be provided. This effectively prevents bending of the Plug tongue even with inaccurate plugging into the box.

Eine einfache Montage des Kontaktsockels wird erreicht, wenn der in den Kontaktsockel eingeschobene Steckkontakt von dem Kontaktsockel geführt ist, wobei sich der Steckkontakt jedoch direkt an dem Stecker abstützt. Der lose in den Kontaktsockel eingeschobene Steckkontakt erhält erst nach Verrasten des Kontaktsokkels mit dem Stecker seine Arretierung. Dies vereinfacht sowohl die Gestaltung als auch die Montage.Easy installation of the contact socket is achieved when inserted into the contact socket Plug contact is guided by the contact socket, wherein However, the plug contact is supported directly on the plug. The loosely inserted into the contact socket Plug contact receives only after locking the Kontaktsokkels with the plug its locking. This is simplified both the design and the assembly.

Entsprechende Rastmittel gestatten ein einfaches Befestigen der Dose an der Tragschiene sowie des Steckersockels an dem Lichtträger. Die dosenseitigen Rastmittel sind dabei vorzugsweise an dem Dosensockel angeordnet, wobei sie durch federnde Zungen gebildet sind, die an der Tragschiene ausgebildete Vorsprünge hintergreifen können. Corresponding locking means allow a simple Attach the socket to the mounting rail and the plug socket on the light carrier. The can-side locking means are preferably arranged on the socket socket, wherein they are formed by resilient tongues on the Support rail trained behind projections can engage behind.

An dem Stecker sind die Steckkontakte vorzugsweise in zwei Reihen angeordnet, wobei in einer Reihe zwei nicht verschiebbare, in der Regel als Nullanschlüsse oder Schutzleiter dienende Steckkontakte angeordnet sind und in der anderen Reihe wenigstens ein verschiebbarer Steckkontakt angeordnet ist. Diese Reihe kann durch Einschieben weiterer Kontaktsockel mit Steckkontakten aufgefüllt werden.On the plug, the plug contacts are preferably arranged in two rows, with two in a row not movable, usually as zero connections or Protective conductor serving plug contacts are arranged and in the other row at least one sliding plug contact is arranged. This series can by pushing further contact socket filled with plug contacts become.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Lichtband 1 im Ausschnitt dargestellt, das durch Aneinanderreihung mehrerer in Längsrichtung miteinander fluchtender Tragschienen 2 gebildet ist, an denen Lichtträger 3, 4 befestigt sind. Jede Tragschiene erstreckt sich über eine größere Länge von mehreren (bspw. fünf) Metern. Die einzelnen Lichtträger 3, 4 entsprechen in ihrer Länge im wesentlichen einer Leuchtstofflampe 5, 6, die mittels Fassungen 7, 8 auf dem jeweiligen Lichtträger 3, 4 montiert ist.In Fig. 1, a light band 1 is shown in the cutout, this by lining up several longitudinally formed aligned support rails 2 is, to which light carrier 3, 4 are attached. each Support rail extends over a greater length of several (for example five) meters. The individual light carriers 3, 4 correspond in length substantially one Fluorescent lamp 5, 6, which by means of sockets 7, 8 on the respective light carrier 3, 4 is mounted.

Während die Lichtträger 3, 4 alle zum Betrieb der Leuchtstofflampe 5, 6 erforderlichen Betriebsmittel, wie bspw. ein Vorschaltgerät 9 oder nicht weiter dargestellte Starter, enthalten, sind in der Tragschiene in Fig. 2 schematisch darstellte Leitungen 11 (a bis e) zur Stromversorgung der Lichtträger 3, 4 sowie weiterer nicht dargestellter Lichtträger verlegt. Die Leitungen sind kunststoffisolierte Kupferleitungen.While the light carrier 3, 4 all for the operation of the Fluorescent lamp 5, 6 required resources, such as For example, a ballast 9 or not shown Starter included in the mounting rail in Fig. 2 schematically represented lines 11 (a to e) for power supply the light carrier 3, 4 and others not laid light carrier laid. The wires are plastic-insulated copper cables.

Zusätzlich zu den Leuchtstofflampen 5, 6 können weitere Stromverbraucher vorgesehen sein. Bspw. trägt der Lichtträger 4 eine Steckdose 13, die bedarfsweise angezapft werden kann. Auf diese Weise können über Lichtbänder im Verkaufsbereich temporär aufgebaute Vitrinen und im Produktionsbereich elektrische Handgeräte, wie bspw. Schrauber oder dergleichen, versorgt werden.In addition to the fluorescent lamps 5, 6 can be provided further power consumers. For example. wears the Light carrier 4 a socket 13, which is tapped as needed can be. This way you can use light bands temporary showcases in the sales area and in the field of electrical hand tools, such as For example, screwdrivers or the like, are supplied.

Zur Stromversorgung der Leuchtstofflampen 5, 6 auf den Lichtträgern 3, 4 sowie weiterer Stromverbraucher, wie bspw. der Steckdose 13, sind Anschluß- und Kupplungssysteme 15 vorgesehen, über die die Leitungen 11 angezapft und mit den elektrischen Verbrauchern (Leuchtstofflampen 5, 6, Steckdose 13) elektrisch verbunden werden. Das Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem 15 ist ein Dosen-Stekkersystem, wie es aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht. Es umfaßt eine mit der Tragschiene 2 verbundene Dose 17, die die durch diese durchgeführten Leitungen 11 elektrisch kontaktiert. Der Dose 17 ist ein Stecker 18 zugeordnet, der mit dem jeweiligen Lichtträger 3 bzw. 4 verbunden ist. Bei der Montage des Lichtträgers 3 bzw. 4 an der Tragschiene 2 wird der Stecker 18 auf die Dose 17 aufgesteckt, wobei eine elektrische Verbindung der von dem Lichtträger 3 getragenen Verbraucher zu einigen oder allen der Leitungen 11 (a bis e) hergestellt wird.To power the fluorescent lamps 5, 6 on the light carriers 3, 4 and other power consumers, such as the socket 13, are connection and coupling systems 15 is provided, via which the lines 11 tapped and with the electrical consumers (fluorescent lamps 5, 6, socket 13) are electrically connected. The connection and coupling system 15 is a can plug system, as is apparent from Fig. 2. It includes one with the mounting rail 2 connected box 17, the by these performed lines 11 electrically contacted. The can 17 is associated with a plug 18 which is connected to the respective light carrier 3 and 4 is connected. In the Mounting of the light carrier 3 or 4 on the mounting rail. 2 the plug 18 is plugged onto the socket 17, wherein an electrical connection of the light carrier. 3 carried consumers to some or all of the leads 11 (a to e) is produced.

Wie aus den Fig. 3 und 4 hervorgeht, weist die Dose 17 ein zweiteiliges Isolierstoffgehäuse auf, das in einen Dosensockel 21 und einen Grundkörper 22 unterteilt ist. Der Grundkörper 22, der in seiner Ansicht von unten her in Fig. 5 dargestellt ist, enthält insgesamt fünf Schneidklemmkontakte 23 (a bis e), die in in den Grundkörper 22 eingeformte, eigens dafür vorgesehene, Ausnehmungen oder Kammern 24 (a bis e) eingesetzt sind. Die Kammern 24 sind dabei in zwei Gruppen aufgeteilt jeweils auf einer Linie angeordnet. Die abwechselnd auf der einen bzw. der anderen Linie angeordneten Kammern 24 sind dadurch so gegeneinander versetzt, daß auch bei geringer seitlicher Überlappung der in die Kammern 24 eingesetzten Schneidklemmkontakte 23 ein ausreichender Abstand zwischen den Schneidklemmkontakten 23 sichergestellt ist.As is apparent from Figs. 3 and 4, the box 17 a two-part insulating material, which in a Can socket 21 and a main body 22 is divided. The main body 22, in his view from below is shown in Fig. 5, contains a total of five Insulation displacement contacts 23 (a to e), which in in the main body 22 molded, specially provided, recesses or chambers 24 (a to e) are inserted. The Chambers 24 are divided into two groups respectively arranged on a line. The alternately on the one or the other line arranged chambers 24 are thereby offset against each other so that even at low lateral overlap of the inserted into the chambers 24 Insulation displacement contacts 23 a sufficient distance between the insulation displacement contacts 23 is ensured.

Jeder Schneidklemmkontakt 23 ragt mit seinem Klemmschlitzbereich in einen Durchgang 25 (a bis e), der rechts und linksseitig von Wänden 26 (a bis f) begrenzt ist. Die Abstände zwischen zwei einander benachbarten Wänden sind dabei so groß, daß eine anzuschließende Leitung problemlos in den Durchgang 25 paßt.Each insulation displacement contact 23 protrudes with its clamping slot area in a passage 25 (a to e), the bounded on the right and left side by walls 26 (a to f) is. The distances between two adjacent ones Walls are so big that a to be connected Line easily into the passage 25 fits.

Zusätzlich weist jede Wand 26 (a bis f) einen Fortsatz 27 (a bis f) auf, wobei die außenstehenden Fortsätze 27a, 27f endseitig mit jeweils einer Rastnase 28a, 28f versehen sind. Die von außen gesehen nächstfolgenden Fortsätze 27b, 27e stimmen in ihrer Länge im wesentlichen mit den Fortsätzen 27a, 27f überein und durchragen dadurch den Dosensockel 21 bei entsprechenden zu diesem Zweck vorgesehenen Öffnungen 29b, 29e.In addition, each wall 26 (a to f) has an extension 27 (a to f), wherein the outer projections 27a, 27f end, each with a locking lug 28a, 28f are provided.

Der zur Verbindung mit der Dose 17 vorgesehene Stecker 18 ist in Fig. 9 in einer Ansicht auf seine Anschlußseite dargestellt. Wie ggf. in Zusammenschau mit der Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, weist der Stecker 18 ein einstückig ausgebildetes Isolierstoffgehäuse 65 auf, von dessen Grundplatte 66 ein endseitig offener Gehäuseteil 67 aufragt. Dieser umgibt in gesonderten Kontaktsockeln 68a, 68b, 68c gehaltene Steckkontakte 69a, 69b, 69c.The intended for connection to the socket 17 Plug 18 is in Fig. 9 in a view of his Connection side shown. As if in conjunction with Fig. 2 it can be seen, the plug 18 a integrally formed insulating housing 65 on, from its base plate 66 an open end housing part 67 towers. This surrounds in separate contact sockets 68a, 68b, 68c held plug contacts 69a, 69b, 69c.

Von der rechteckigen Grundplatte erstrecken sich von ihren Schmalseiten ausgehend Rastvorsprünge 66a, 66b, die der Befestigung an einem der Lichtträger 3, 4 dienen.From the rectangular base plate extend from Their narrow sides starting latching projections 66 a, 66 b, the the attachment to one of the light carrier 3, 4 serve.

Der Gehäuseteil 67 ist in zwei in Draufsicht jeweils rechteckige Kammern 71, 72 unterteilt, wobei in der Kammer 72 zwei Kontaktsockel 68a, 68b und in der größeren Kammer 71 lediglich ein Kontaktsockel 68c angeordnet ist. Infolgedessen sind die im Grunde etwa quaderförmigen und in der Kammer 71, 72 mit einer jeweiligen Rastrippe 73a, 73b gehaltenen Kontaktsockel 68a, 68b unverschiebbar und der Kontaktsockel 68c seitlich verschiebbar gehalten. Die Steckkontakte 69 einer jeweiligen Kammer 71, 72 liegen jeweils in einer Ebene. Beide Ebenen sind parallel zueinander. Diese Anordnung hat sich als toleranzunempfindlich und somit als "einsteckfreundlich" erwiesen.The housing part 67 is in two in plan view, respectively rectangular chambers 71, 72 divided, wherein in the Chamber 72 two contact socket 68a, 68b and in the larger Chamber 71 only a contact socket 68 c is arranged. As a result, they are basically roughly cuboid and in the chamber 71, 72 with a respective locking rib 73a, 73b held contact socket 68a, 68b immovable and the contact base 68c held laterally displaceable. The Plug contacts 69 of a respective chamber 71, 72 are located each in one level. Both levels are parallel to each other. This arrangement has proven to be insensitive to tolerances and thus proved to be "plug in".

Der Kontaktsockel 68 ist in Fig. 10 gesondert dargestellt. Er weist einen farblich von dem Isolierstoffkörper 65 abgesetzten Körper 74 auf, der ebenfalls aus Isolierstoff besteht. Er ist unten und in Fig. 10 nach hinten offen, so daß der Steckkontakt 69 von unten her frei einschiebbar ist. Zur entsprechenden Führung des Steckkontaktes 69 weist der Körper 74 einen pyramidenstumpfförmigen Fortsatz 76 auf, dessen Länge größer als ein Drittel des aus ihm herausragenden Abschnittes des Steckkontaktes 69 ist.The contact base 68 is shown separately in FIG. He has a color of the insulating material 65 remote body 74, which is also off Insulating material. It is below and in Fig. 10 after behind open, so that the plug contact 69 from below is freely inserted. For appropriate guidance of the Plug contact 69, the body 74 has a truncated pyramid Extension 76 on, whose length is greater than a third of the outstanding section of the Plug contact 69 is.

Um den Körper 74 in der jeweiligen Kammer 71, 72 zu halten und ein Anschließen von externen Leitungen an den Steckkontakt 69 zu ermöglichen, ist der Körper 74 mit zwei rechteckigen Vorsprüngen 78, 79 versehen, in denen ggf. mit nicht weiter dargestellten Einführschrägen versehene Öffnungen 81, 82 angeordnet sind, die zu entsprechenden Steckanschlüssen 83, 84 des Steckkontaktes 69 führen. Die Vorsprünge 78, 79 durchragen die jeweilige Kammerwand der Kammer 71, 72 bei einem jeweils dazu vorgesehenen Schlitz 85, wie er bspw. aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist. Wenigstens aber hintergreifen die Vorsprünge 78, 79 die Rastrippen 73a, 73b und halten damit die Kontaktsockel in dem Gehäuseteil 67.To the body 74 in the respective chamber 71, 72 too hold and connecting external wires to the To allow plug contact 69, the body 74 with two rectangular projections 78, 79 are provided, in which possibly with not shown chamfers provided openings 81, 82 are arranged, which correspond to corresponding Plug-in connections 83, 84 of the plug contact 69 to lead. The projections 78, 79 project through the respective Chamber wall of the chamber 71, 72 at one in each case provided slot 85, as he, for example, from Fig. 2 can be seen is. At least, however, the projections engage behind 78, 79, the locking ribs 73 a, 73 b and thus hold the contact socket in the housing part 67.

Der Steckkontakt 69 ist separat in Fig. 11 dargestellt. Er ist durch einen um 180° abgewinkelten Blechstreifen gebildet, der somit eine zweilagige oder gedoppelte Steckerzunge 91 definiert. In diesem Bereich sind die Schenkel 91', 92'' des aufeinander gebogenen Blechstreifens leicht gewölbt, um die Steifigkeit der Steckerzunge 91 zu erhöhen. Während der Schenkel 91' lediglich kurz abgewinkelt ist, läuft der andere Schenkel 91'' in einen Anschlußbereich 92 aus, in dem die beiden Steckanschlüsse 83, 84 ausgebildet sind. Endseitig ist der Anschlußbereich 92 abgewinkelt.The plug contact 69 is shown separately in FIG. 11. He is by a 180 ° angled metal strip formed, which is thus a two-ply or doubled Connector 91 defined. In this area are the legs 91 ', 92' 'of the bent sheet metal strip slightly arched to the rigidity of the connector tongue 91 increase. While the legs 91 'only is bent short, runs the other leg 91 '' in a connection region 92, in which the two plug connections 83, 84 are formed. End is the Connection area 92 angled.

Die Steckanschlüsse 83, 84 sind untereinander gleich und jeweils als quadratischer Steckanschluß ausgebildet sowie mit dem Steckanschluß 56 des Schneidklemmkontaktes baugleich. Von einer Öffnung ausgehend, erstrecken sich jeweils vier gleichlange Einschnitte, deren Enden ein Quadrat definieren. Die somit freigeschnittenen Kontaktzungen sind somit untereinander gleich ausgebildet.The plug connections 83, 84 are equal to each other and each formed as a square plug connection and with the plug connection 56 of the insulation displacement contact identical. Starting from an opening, extend four equally long incisions, the ends of a Define square. The thus cut contact tongues are thus equal to each other.

Das insoweit beschriebene Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem 15 wird bei der Montage von Lichtbändern folgendermaßen verwendet und arbeitet wie folgt:The connection and coupling system described so far 15 is in the assembly of light bands as follows used and works as follows:

Beim Ausrüsten einer Tragschiene 2 mit Leitungen 11 oder bei bereits innerhalb der Tragschiene 2 verlegten Leitungen werden diese in die Durchgänge 25 des Grundkörpers 22 so eingelegt, daß jeweils eine Leitung 11 in einem Durchgang 25 liegt. Im nächsten Schritt wird mittels des Dosensockels 21 Druck auf die Leitungen 11 derart ausgeübt, daß diese unter Durchtrennung ihrer Isolierungen in die Schneidklemmschlitze 52 der Schneidklemmkontakte 23 eintreten. Dieser Vorgang ist beendet, wenn die Rastnasen 28a, 28f den Dosensockel 21 bei den Rastöffnungen 32a, 32f hintergreifen, die Fortsätze 27c, 27d stirnseitig auf den Anlagebereichen 31c, 31d aufsitzen und die Fortsätze 27b, 27e die Öffnungen 29b, 29e durchragen. Mit dem Schließen der Dose 17 wird somit zugleich die Schneidklemmverbindung zwischen den Leitungen 11 und den Schneidklemmkontakten 23 hergestellt. Dies kann bspw. auch dadurch erfolgen, daß der Dosensockel 21 rückseitig auf einer festen Unterlage, wie bspw. der Rückwand der Tragschiene 2, aufgelegt wird und der Grundkörper kräftig, bspw. mit einem Hammerschlag, aufgesetzt wird.When equipping a mounting rail 2 with 11 lines or at already laid within the mounting rail 2 Lines are these in the passages 25 of the body 22 inserted so that in each case a line 11 in a passage 25 is located. The next step is using of the socket 21 pressure on the lines 11th practiced in such a way that they are separated by severing their Insulations in the insulation displacement slots 52 of the Insert insulation displacement contacts 23. This process is terminated when the locking lugs 28a, 28f the socket 21st engage behind the detent openings 32a, 32f, the extensions 27c, 27d on the front side on the contact areas 31c, 31d sit and the extensions 27b, 27e the openings 29b, 29e protrude. With the closing of the box 17 is Thus at the same time the insulation displacement connection between the Lines 11 and the insulation displacement contacts 23 made. This can, for example, also take place in that the Socket base 21 on the back on a firm base, such as the back wall of the support rail 2, is placed and the body vigorously, for example, with a hammer blow, is put on.

Der biegesteif ausgebildete Dosensockel 21 dient bei der Herstellung von Schneidklemmverbindungen zu den Leitungen 11 als Werkzeug zum Eindrücken der Leitungen in die Schneidklemmschlitze der Schneidklemmkontakte. Dabei werden die Leitungen, die zunächst in Einführschrägen der Schneidklemmkontakte liegen, soweit in die Schneidklemmschlitze gepreßt, bis der jeweilige, die Einführschräge aufweisende Stirnabschnitt des Schneidklemmkontaktes in den jeweiligen Nuten 42, 43 (a bis e) sitzt.The rigid formed can socket 21 is used in the manufacture of insulation displacement connections to the Lines 11 as a tool for pressing the lines in the insulation displacement slots of the insulation displacement contacts. there be the lines that are initially in insertion bevels of Insulation displacement contacts lie, as far as in Insulation displacement slots pressed until the respective, the Insertion inclined end portion of the insulation displacement contact in the respective grooves 42, 43 (a to e) sitting.

Mit dem dadurch erfolgten Schließen der Dose 17 und Kontaktieren der Leitungen 11 ist zugleich die Dose 17 mit der Tragschiene 2 verrastet. Weitere Montageschritte sind nicht erforderlich, wobei die Dose 17, wenigstens, so weit es die Leitungen zulassen, längsverschiebbar bleibt, um bspw. auch im nachhinein eine Anpassung der Lage der Dose 17 vornehmen zu können.With the thus made closing the can 17 and Contacting the lines 11 is at the same time the can 17 locked with the support rail 2. Further assembly steps are not required, the can 17, at least, as far as the lines allow, longitudinally displaceable remains, for example, in retrospect, an adjustment of Location of the box 17 to make.

Der Stecker 18 wird mit dem Lichtträger verbunden, indem seine Rastvorsprünge 66a, 66b in entsprechende Ausnehmungen des Lichtträgers 3 eingesetzt werden. Die werkseitig vorzunehmende Verdrahtung wird durch Einstekken entsprechender Leitungen in die Öffnungen 81, 82 der Kontaktsockel 68 (a bis c) erreicht, die durch die jeweiligen Schlitze 85 zugänglich sind. Nachdem jeder Steckkontakt 69 (a bis c) jeweils zwei Steckanschlüsse 83, 84 aufweist, können auch mit jedem Steckkontakt 69 (a bis c) zwei Leitungen verbunden werden. Auf diese Weise dient der Stecker 18 als Stützpunkt für eine weitere Beschaltung mit bspw. Störschutzkondensatoren oder dergleichen. Zur Erleichterung der Verdrahtung weist die Grundplatte 66 Ausnehmungen 93, 94 auf, die ein Durchführen von Leitungen unter der Grundplatte 66 ermöglichen.The plug 18 is connected to the light carrier, by its locking projections 66a, 66b in corresponding Recesses of the light carrier 3 are used. The Factory wiring is done by inserting corresponding lines in the openings 81, 82 of the Contact socket 68 (A to C) reached by the respective Slots 85 are accessible. After each plug contact 69 (A to C) each have two plug connections 83, 84th can also be connected to each plug 69 (a to c) two lines are connected. This way serves the plug 18 as a base for a further circuit with eg. Störschutzkondensatoren or the like. To facilitate wiring, the base plate 66 recesses 93, 94 on, a performing of Allow cables under the base plate 66.

Durch Einstellen der Position des in der Kammer 71 sitzenden Kontaktsockels 68 kann nun die Zuordnung des betreffenden Steckkontaktes 69c zu einer der angeschlossenen Leitungen 11a, 11c, 11e frei gewählt werden. Diese Leitungen führen die drei Phasen L1, L2, L3, während die verbleibenden Leitungen 11b, 11d Null- und Schutzleiter sind. Durch diese somit gegebene Auswahlmöglichkeit können die auf einem im Einzelfalle langen Lichtband sitzenden Lichtträger 3, 4 mit unterschiedlichen Phasen verbunden werden, um eine symmetrische Netzbelastung zu erzielen.By adjusting the position of the in the chamber 71st seated contact socket 68 can now be the assignment of the relevant plug contact 69c to one of the connected Lines 11a, 11c, 11e are chosen freely. These Lines carry the three phases L1, L2, L3, while the remaining lines 11b, 11d neutral and protective conductor are. Through this thus given choice can on a in a particular case long light band sitting light beams 3, 4 with different phases be connected to a balanced network load achieve.

Bei der Montage des Lichtträgers 3 an der Tragschiene 2 findet der Stecker 18 auf die Dose 17, wobei die Fortsätze 33a, 33c, 33e in die Kammer 71 und die Fortsätze 33b, 33d der Dose 17 in die Kammer 72 eintreten. Es schieben sich dabei die Steckkontakte 69a, 69b, 69c in die entsprechenden Öffnungen der Fortsätze 33 und treten durch die entsprechenden schlitzförmigen Durchgänge in die Kammern 24 ein. Sie stützen sich dabei an der Grundplatte 66 ab. Die Steckkontakte 69 finden zwischen die Zungen 54a, 54b, 54c der Schneidklemmkontakte 23. Diese sind bei ihren Längsflanken in den Kammern 24 derart gehalten, daß die beiden aufeinanderliegenden Blechabschnitte jedes Schneidklemmkontaktes 23 von den Steckkontakten 69 federnd voneinander weggedrückt werden. Im Idealfalle entstehen dadurch an den Längskanten der Steckerzunge 69 insgesamt vier elektrische Linienkontakte, die für eine sichere Stromübertragung sorgen.When mounting the light carrier 3 to the mounting rail 2, the plug 18 is on the can 17, wherein the Extensions 33a, 33c, 33e into the chamber 71 and the extensions 33b, 33d of the can 17 enter the chamber 72. It push the plug contacts 69a, 69b, 69c in the corresponding openings of the extensions 33 and occur through the corresponding slot-shaped passages in the chambers 24 a. They are based on the base plate 66 off. The plug contacts 69 find between the Tongues 54a, 54b, 54c of the insulation displacement contacts 23. This are at their longitudinal edges in the chambers 24 such held that the two superimposed sheet metal sections each insulation displacement contact 23 of the plug contacts 69 resiliently pushed away from each other. in the Ideal trap thereby arise at the longitudinal edges of the Connector tongue 69 a total of four electrical line contacts, which ensure a secure power transmission.

Eine gute Stromübertragung stellen auch die Steckanschlüsse 83, 84 der Steckkontakte 69 sicher. Ein in den Steckanschluß 83 (84) eingeschobener Leiter steht mit vier gleich starken Zungen in Berührung, so daß sich vier gleichwertige, parallel geschaltete Kontaktstellen ergeben.A good power transfer are also the plug connections 83, 84 of the plug contacts 69 safely. One in the Plug connection 83 (84) inserted conductor stands with four equally strong tongues in touch, so that four equivalent, parallel contact points arise.

Soll auf dem Lichtträger ein zweiter Verbraucher montiert werden, der an eine andere Phase anzuschließen ist, oder sind mehrere Phasen zum Abgriff der Leiterspannung anzuschließen, können weitere Kontaktsockel 68 in die Kammer 71 eingeschoben werden. Diese verrasten beim Einschieben mit ihren Vorsprüngen 78, 79 hinter der Rastrippe 73a. Should on the light carrier, a second consumer be mounted, which connect to another phase is or are several phases for tapping the line voltage can connect more contact socket 68th be inserted into the chamber 71. These lock when inserted with their projections 78, 79 behind the Locking rib 73a.

Insbesondere als elektrisches Anschluß- und Kupplungssystem für Lichtbänder ist ein Dosen-Steckersystem geschaffen, das beim Montieren des Lichtträgers 3 an der Tragschiene 2 automatisch die elektrische Verbindung von auf dem Lichtträger 3 sitzenden Verbrauchern mit Leitungen 11 bewirkt, die in der Tragschiene 2 verlegt sind. Zum Anschluß dieser Leitungen 11 weist die Dose 17 einen Satz von Schneidklemmkontakten 23 auf, die beim Aufsetzen der Dose 17 auf einen Dosensockel 21 unter Durchtrennung der Leitungsisolierung automatisch kontaktiert werden. Der Dosensockel 21 wirkt dabei als Einpreßwerkzeug zur Herstellung der Schneidklemmkontaktierung.In particular as an electrical connection and coupling system for light strips is a can plug system created when mounting the light carrier 3 at the Rail 2 automatically the electrical connection of on the light carrier 3 sitting consumers with lines 11 causes, which are laid in the mounting rail 2. To connect these lines 11, the box 17 a Set of insulation displacement contacts 23, the touchdown the can 17 on a socket base 21 with transection the line insulation are contacted automatically. The socket 21 acts as a press tool for Production of the insulation displacement contact.
