Abstract

An arrangement for forming an elongate, channel-type accommodation space comprises at least two elongate mounting rail elements, two of the mounting rail elements being arranged so that their front faces abut via a joint. The arrangement further comprises a first shaped part and a second shaped part connected to the first profiled part to form the channel-type accommodation space, said space at least substantially extending at least over the length of the two mounting rail elements, and one of the two shaped parts being fastened to the mounting rail elements.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An arrangement for forming an elongate, channel-type accommodation space, comprising
at least two elongate mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ),
whereby two of the mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ) abut at their front faces via a joint ( 3 ),
a first shaped part ( 4 ), and
a second shaped part ( 5 ) connected to the first shaped part ( 4 ) to form a channel-type accommodation space ( 6 ), which extends at least substantially over the length of the two mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ), whereby one of the shaped parts ( 4 , 5 ) is fastened to the mounting rail elements;
wherein the mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ) have an at least substantially U-shaped cross-section, so that a first U leg ( 11 ), a second U leg ( 12 ) and a connecting leg ( 13 ) connecting the two U legs ( 11 , 12 ) with each other are formed, whereby the first shaped part ( 4 ) is arranged to abut the connecting leg ( 13 ); and further
wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) has a floor area ( 40 ), a first arm section ( 41 ) adjoining on one first side of the floor area ( 40 ) and a connecting second arm section ( 42 ) adjoining on the opposing second side, whereby it is designed so that the first arm section ( 41 ) encompasses the free end range of the first U leg ( 11 ), and the second arm section ( 42 ) encompasses the free end range of the second U leg ( 12 ).

2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) and the second shaped part ( 5 ) are directly connected with each other.

3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) or the second shaped part ( 5 ) are comprised of an elastic material.

4. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) is arranged in direct contact with the two mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ).

5. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the second shaped part ( 5 ) has a panel-type area ( 51 ) that a connecting area ( 52 , 53 ) adjoins on each of the two sides, whereby the two connecting areas ( 52 , 53 ) comprise a more elastic material than the panel-type area ( 51 ).

6. The arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the two connecting areas ( 52 , 53 ) comprise a V-shaped or a U-shaped cross-section.

7. A row lighting system comprising the arrangement according to claim 1 .

8. An arrangement for forming an elongate, channel-type accommodation space, comprising
at least two elongate mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ),
whereby two of the mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ) abut at their front faces via a joint ( 3 ),
a first shaped part ( 4 ), and
a second shaped part ( 5 ) connected to the first shaped part ( 4 ) to form a channel-type accommodation space ( 6 ), which extends at least substantially over the length of the two mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ), whereby one of the shaped parts ( 4 , 5 ) is fastened to the mounting rail elements;
wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) is arranged held onto the two mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ) through a form-locking connection,
wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) has a floor area ( 40 ), a first arm section ( 41 ) adjoining on one first side of the floor area ( 40 ) and a connecting second arm section ( 42 ) adjoining on the opposing second side, whereby it is designed so that the first arm section ( 41 ) encompasses the free end range of the first U leg ( 11 ), and the second arm section ( 42 ) encompasses the free end range of the second U leg ( 12 ), and
wherein the form-locking connection is formed between a first edge ( 14 ) protruding inwards formed on the first U leg ( 11 ), and a first lock profiling ( 43 ) formed on the first arm section on the one hand; and on the other hand, between a second edge ( 15 ) protruding inwards formed on the second U leg ( 12 ), and a second lock profiling ( 44 ) formed on the second arm section ( 42 ).

9. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) and the second shaped part ( 5 ) are directly connected with each other.

10. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) or the second shaped part ( 5 ) are comprised of an elastic material.

11. The arrangement according to claim 10 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) or the second shaped part ( 5 ) are designed so that they can be wound up in a roll.

12. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) is arranged in direct contact with the two mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ).

13. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first shaped part ( 4 ) is arranged flat abut the two mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ).

14. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the second profile part ( 5 ) is arranged held onto the first shaped part ( 4 ) through a clamp connection (K).

15. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the second shaped part ( 5 ) has a panel-type area ( 51 ) that a connecting area ( 52 , 53 ) adjoins on each of the two sides, whereby the two connecting areas ( 52 , 53 ) comprise a more elastic material than the panel-type area ( 51 ).

16. The arrangement according to claim 15 , wherein the two connecting areas ( 52 , 53 ) comprise a V-shaped or a U-shaped cross-section.

17. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,
wherein the mounting rail elements ( 1 , 2 ) have an at least substantially U-shaped cross-section, so that a first U leg ( 11 ), a second U leg ( 12 ) and a connecting leg ( 13 ) connecting the two U legs ( 11 , 12 ) with each other are formed, whereby the first shaped part ( 4 ) is arranged to abut the connecting leg ( 13 ),
wherein the second shaped part ( 5 ) has a panel-type area ( 51 ) that a connecting area ( 52 , 53 ) adjoins on each of the two sides, whereby the two connecting areas ( 52 , 53 ) comprise a more elastic material than the panel-type area ( 51 ), and
wherein the design is such that the two connecting areas ( 52 , 53 ) are arranged pressing against the free end ranges of the two U legs ( 11 , 12 ) through the interconnection of areas of the first profile part ( 4 ).

18. A row lighting system comprising the arrangement according to claim 1 .
