Description

[0001] The invention relates to the field of installation systems embedded in building components. In particular, the invention relates to elements embedded in concrete building components. In particular, the invention relates to a fixture for lighting embedded in a building component. The invention relates to an installation system according to the preamble of the corresponding independent patent claim.

[0002] Common installation systems for embedding in building components such as ceilings or walls include lighting fixtures, where the lighting is often fully integrated into the building component when installed. Embedded installation systems for curtain rails or ventilation systems are also known. Embedded installation systems for cable ducts (particularly continuous) accessible from the outside also exist. Embedded installation systems for building components are used in various forms for different building services applications.

[0003] These known embedded installation systems are often complex in design, comprise many differently designed individual parts, and are accordingly complex and expensive to manufacture and assemble. Alternatively, the known embedded installation systems are relatively simple in design, but are therefore severely limited in terms of their suitability for use with a specific type of component and / or the intended use of the installation system.

[0004] Relatively simple installation systems, and even complex installation systems, are designed for specific types of components and / or intended uses and are unsuitable, or only suitable to a very limited extent, for different components and / or uses. This results in the disadvantage that subsequent changes, adjustments, or corrections, which are often necessary during or after the production of the components and / or a change in use, cannot be implemented at all or can only be implemented with difficulty, effort, and / or expense.

[0005] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an installation system of the type mentioned at the outset which at least partially eliminates at least one of the disadvantages mentioned above.

[0006] This problem is solved by an installation system having the features of the corresponding independent patent claim. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims, the description, and / or the figures.

[0007] The installation system according to the invention, intended for embedding in a structural component such as a wall or ceiling, comprises an outer profile, a support that can be fastened to the outer profile, and a slide-in element. In a functional configuration of the installation system, the slide-in element is arranged between the outer profile and the support, fixes them spatially relative to one another, and connects them with a force-fit connection. The installation system is designed such that it is capable of assuming two different functional configurations. In the different functional configurations, the slide-in element and the outer profile are spatially positioned differently from one another, while the slide-in element and the support are spatially positioned identically.

[0008] Further preferred embodiments emerge from the dependent patent claims.

[0009] The installation system is a device that provides a fastening option and / or a usable space. Because the installation system is designed to be embedded in a component, it can create an embedded fastening option on the component and / or an embedded usable space within the component.

[0010] The installation system is designed to be embedded in a building component. A building component is a part of a structure. A building component refers, in particular, to a ceiling. A building component can be a wall.

[0011] The component comprises a base element, such as concrete, brick, or plasterboard. Optionally, the component can comprise a cover element in addition to the base element, which complements the base element towards a component surface (i.e., an outer surface of the component). For example, plaster is a cover element. In particular, gypsum plaster is a cover element. The component can also be designed without a cover element.

[0012] Embedded means that the installation system is installed in the component without any parts protruding above the component surface. For example, the installation system is flush-integrated into the component.

[0013] In particular, the insert is positioned flush with the component surface in the component.

[0014] The outer profile can be positioned flush with the component. The outer profile can be positioned away from the component surface toward the component interior.

[0015] The outer profile, insert and support are separately designed elements of the installation system.

[0016] In particular, the outer profile, inserts and supports are prefabricated elements of the installation system.

[0017] The outer profile, insert, and support are designed to be embedded into the component independently of one another. In other words, the outer profile, insert, and support can be embedded into the component one after the other and at different times due to their design.

[0018] During the production of the component and the assembly of the outer profile, the support and, in some cases, the insert can be handled separately and in a protected manner. This prevents damage or contamination to the support and, in some cases, the insert during the assembly and / or construction phase. The support and / or insert can only be available at the installation site after the outer profile has been manufactured. Additional processing of the support beyond the required installation system, such as fitting it with components for a lighting fixture, can be carried out spatially and temporally independently of the assembly of the outer profile and / or insert.

[0019] For example, the outer profile is first embedded into the component (e.g., cast in concrete). The insert can then be attached to the outer profile. Later, the beam can be attached to the insert and thus to the outer profile.

[0020] In this way, various other tasks can be carried out between the different steps of embedding the installation system into the component.

[0021] The usable configuration refers to the state of the installation system in which it is used according to its intended purpose. In other words, the installation system is assembled in its usable configuration. In the usable configuration, the insert is positioned between the outer profile and the support in such a way that the insert is force-fitted to both the outer profile and the support. In this way, the insert fixes the support relative to the outer profile and connects them together. The support is thus fastened to the outer profile by the insert.

[0022] In particular, the insert connects the beam and the outer profile both force-fitting and form-fitting. In this case, the attachment of the beam to the insert and the insert to the outer profile is both form-fitting and force-fitting.

[0023] For example, connecting elements on the outer profile, support, and insert are designed to allow for positive and force-locking fastenings to one another by hand, without the need for specific tools. Fastening can also be achieved without any tools at all.

[0024] Parts corresponding to the intended use of the installation system can be attached to the support. These intended use parts are not part of the installation system according to the invention. The intended use parts can be attached directly to the support. For example, the intended use parts are attached indirectly to the support.

[0025] For example, when using the recessed system as a lighting fixture, luminaires and / or other lighting elements such as diffusers and covers can be attached to the support as individual components or grouped as a dedicated part.

[0026] Optionally, the installation system is designed for embedding lighting into a component. In other words, the installation system is designed to integrate lighting into the component flush with the component surface.

[0027] For example, the carrier is designed in such a way that it can be used as an integral part of utility devices.

[0028] In particular, when using the built-in system for lighting, the useful device can be a luminaire. The support can serve as a mechanical base to which, for example, the cable, diode, optics, reflector, electronics, switch, power supply, and / or other components of the luminaire are directly or indirectly attached.

[0029] In particular, when using the built-in system to hang objects, the useful device can be a hanging system with a rail and tabs. For example, curtains, pictures, plant pots, decorations, and / or other objects can be attached to the tabs, which in turn can be attached to the rail. The rail can be formed in the support.

[0030] In particular, the installation system is designed in such a way that the intended components are attached exclusively to the support. This means that the support provides attachment points for intended components, and the outer profile and the insert are free of them.

[0031] In particular, the insert is designed such that it is suitable for attaching a functional part. In particular, this attachment is both force-fitting and form-fitting. This attachment can be detachable. For example, a part of a snap connection with a functional part can be formed on the insert.

[0032] In particular, the installation system is designed in such a way that the force-locking connection between the support and the outer profile is established exclusively via the insert. This means that, in the usable configuration, the support is secured to the outer profile exclusively via the insert.

[0033] In the working configuration, the beam is positioned within the outer profile. This means that the beam is essentially surrounded by the outer profile. The beam can be surrounded by the outer profile on three sides.

[0034] Two different usage configurations, each with a spatially different position of the insert and outer profile, can also be described as two different spatial arrangements of the insert relative to the outer profile. The insert is located at a different location on the outer profile in both usage configurations. As a result, the insert and outer profile are spaced at different distances from each other in the different usage configurations, with the insert essentially being surrounded by the outer profile in both usage configurations.

[0035] In other words, thanks to the insert, the support can be fixed in two different positions in the outer profile, because the support is spatially aligned with the insert in both configurations. This allows for flexible use of the installation system: depending on the application of the installation system, the support can be fixed in different positions in the outer profile.

[0036] This allows for varying space requirements within the built-in system. The size of the usable space within the built-in system can be determined by carefully selecting one of the two configurations.

[0037] In particular, in one of the two configurations of the installation system, the insert is aligned flush with the outer profile. When embedded in a component, the outer profile and insert are thus aligned flush with the component surface.

[0038] Both the outer profile and the insert then border on the component surface, but do not protrude beyond it.

[0039] In particular, in one of the two configurations of the installation system, the insert is aligned so that it extends beyond the outer profile. When embedded in a component, the insert is aligned flush with the component surface, while the outer profile is positioned away from the component surface toward the component's interior. The outer profile is then not adjacent to the component surface, but the insert is. The insert does not protrude beyond the component surface.

[0040] Different spatial positioning of the support and thus of the intended components within the installation system is possible thanks to the different usage configurations. By carefully selecting one of the two usage configurations, the support and thus a intended component can be positioned differently relative to the outer profile.

[0041] For example, a luminaire attached to or formed on the support can have a different maximum beam angle depending on its positioning in the outer profile. The support, insert, and outer profile can be designed such that, in the various usage configurations, the support and insert and / or the outer profile limit the beam angle. In this way, beam angles can be adjusted depending on the usage configuration, for example, to specifically change the lighting. Or to match the beam angles of luminaires in components to achieve uniform illumination.

[0042] In particular, the maximum beam angle is the same in both configurations. For example, the support, insert, and outer profile are designed in such a way that in both configurations the maximum beam angle is limited by the support and insert, and thus independent of the outer profile.

[0043] Thanks to the different usable configurations, the same installation system can be used for different components: for components with or without cover elements, and for components with different cover element thicknesses. A large number of different components are not required. This simplifies logistics, inventory, storage, and transport. The installation system can be used in a time- and cost-efficient manner.

[0044] Thanks to the various usable configurations, the depth of the beam's embedding into the component can be varied even after the outer profile has been installed. The position of the insert can also be varied. This allows for responses to expected as well as unexpected changes in the component.

[0045] For example, a cover element may subsequently become desired and / or necessary, even though it wasn't planned. Or a planned cover element isn't installed after all. Or the thickness of the cover element varies. It's also possible to respond to unplanned changes, such as unwanted deformations of the component. Thanks to the different configurations, changes in intended use can also be accommodated. This also makes it possible to respond to irregularities and reduce or eliminate them. It's also possible to create intentional irregularities.

[0046] The inventive installation system with a slide-in unit and two different usable configurations comprises a few individual parts and features a simple structure. This allows for cost-effective production. The installation system is easy to handle and install.

[0047] The installation system is flexibly configurable due to the different usable configurations. This makes the installation system versatile. It can be used for different components without changing its individual components: with or without a cover element, or with cover elements of varying thicknesses. For example, the installation system can be embedded in exposed concrete or plastered concrete without having to definitively determine in advance whether and how thick plaster will be applied. This allows adjustments to the component without affecting the functionality of the installation system. For example, height differences at different points on the component can be compensated for while maintaining the same installation system (whereby the outer profile can be embedded in the component before the height difference occurs).

[0048] If several installation systems according to the invention are installed, the appropriate usage configuration can be specifically created for each installation system. The positions of individual supports of the installation systems can be adjusted relative to one another. Thanks to the various usage configurations of the installation system, permanently installed external profiles can also be retrofitted to create a specific, desired spatial arrangement of various supports. For example, on a sloping concrete ceiling, by using specifically selected usage configurations and deliberately chosen thicknesses of a deck element at very specific points on the component, the positions of the supports can be adjusted towards a horizontal arrangement of the supports relative to one another. This would not be possible without different usage configurations of the installation system.

[0049] The installation system can be used for a variety of purposes without modifying its individual components. Specific preparation or pre-assembly of the installation system—for example, for a specific type of component and / or a specific application—is unnecessary, as subsequent modifications are possible thanks to its flexibility.

[0050] Optionally, the installation system can be designed to accommodate three different usage configurations. For example, the installation system can be designed to accommodate four different usage configurations. Five or more different usage configurations are also optionally possible.

[0051] More usable configurations allow for more positioning options for the insert and the support relative to the outer profile. The corresponding advantages described above also apply.

[0052] Optionally, the insert can be detachably attached to the outer profile.

[0053] The removable attachment of the slide-in unit to the outer profile allows for switching from one configuration to another. This allows the configuration to be adjusted as needed, even after initial installation. The installation system remains flexible, as both configurations remain available.

[0054] Alternatively, the insert can be designed to be permanently attached to the outer profile.

[0055] Optionally, the carrier can be detachably attached to the slide-in unit.

[0056] A removable attachment of the support to the slide-in unit allows for repairs or modifications to the installation system, for example. Repairs and modifications regarding the use of the installation system are also possible.

[0057] Alternatively, the carrier can be designed so that it can be permanently attached to the insert.

[0058] Optionally, the installation system is designed in such a way that in the usable configuration, i.e. with the support attached to the insert and thus to the outer profile, the insert is inseparably attached to the outer profile.

[0059] The above optional feature does not necessarily preclude the possibility of the insert being detachably attached to the outer profile without a support attached to the insert and outer profile.

[0060] In other words, the insert can optionally be detachably attached to the outer profile outside the useful configuration.

[0061] In other words, by attaching the support to the insert, the insert can be permanently connected to the outer profile. Without a support on the insert, the insert is detachably attached to the outer profile. Attaching the support to the insert eliminates the detachability of the insert's attachment to the outer profile.

[0062] This way, the slide-in unit is securely attached to the outer profile in its working configuration. The installation system is protected from incorrect manipulation.

[0063] In this way, the support, if detachably attached to the insert, can be removed from the installation system without the risk of the insert becoming detached from the outer profile. Since the insert cannot be detached from the outer profile with the support in place, the support will detach from the insert first when the installation system is disassembled.

[0064] Alternatively, the insert itself can be detachably attached to the outer profile in the usable configuration.

[0065] Optionally, a tear-off edge is provided on the insert.

[0066] A tear-off edge is a predefined edge that provides a mechanical stop for the cover element. The tear-off edge is designed so that the cover element can fit flush against it.

[0067] The tear-off edge on the insert allows the cover element to be seamlessly applied up to the insert. This allows the insert and thus the installation system to be embedded flush into the component.

[0068] The tear-off edge can serve as an alignment aid and stop for tools used when attaching the cover element. The tear-off edge of the inserter can define the thickness of the cover element before applying the cover element. The tear-off edge thus provides orientation and support for the targeted and precise attachment of the cover element. This allows for time-efficient installation of the cover element. A cost-effective working method is thus possible. Thanks to the tear-off edge, the installation system can be embedded flush into a component with a cover element easily and precisely.

[0069] In a component without a cover element, the tear-off edge may be free of a specific function.

[0070] For example, if the installation system is to be embedded in a plastered component, the plaster can be applied aligned with the tear-off edge. The tear-off edge of the inserter can thus define the plaster height or thickness of the plaster layer, allowing for a clean, even, and seamless embedding of the installation system into the component.

[0071] The tear-off edge can be positioned at different distances from the outer profile depending on the different usage configurations. This allows the same installation system to be used with different components. For example, with a component with or without a cover element. Or with a component that has cover elements of different thicknesses. And by carefully selecting a specific usage configuration, changes to the component can also be accommodated: by aligning a cover element of varying thickness with the tear-off edge. This allows for flexible responses to changing requirements and / or unexpected changes such as deformation.

[0072] Alternatively, the insert can be designed without a tear-off edge.

[0073] Optionally, the outer profile, inserts, and supports are designed as elongated elements. In particular, in the usable configuration, the total length of all supports in the outer profile is at least 80% of the length of the outer profile.

[0074] In particular, the total length of all beams in the outer profile is at least 90% of the length of the outer profile. The total length of all beams in the outer profile can be at least 95% of the length of the outer profile.

[0075] Elongated means that the element extends at least 5 times further in the longitudinal direction than transversely. A length is therefore at least 5 times the width and height of the element. In particular, the elongated element extends at least 10 times further in the longitudinal direction than transversely. For example, the elongated element can extend at least 20 times further than transversely.

[0076] Elongated components of the installation system can be manufactured easily and cost-effectively.

[0077] If, in the usable configuration, the total length of all beams in the outer profile extends essentially over the entire length of the outer profile (e.g., at least 80%), a secure attachment of the beams to the outer profile can be achieved. A usable space in the installation system can thus be easily accessed via beams.

[0078] Optionally, in the usable configuration, the total length of all inserts in the outer profile is at least 80% of the length of the outer profile.

[0079] This means that the total length of all inserts mounted in an outer profile in the usable configuration extends over at least 50% of the length of the outer profile. This allows for a good and secure attachment of the support to the outer profile.

[0080] In particular, the total length of all inserts in the outer profile is at least 70% of the length of the outer profile. The total length of all inserts in the outer profile can be at least 90% of the length of the outer profile.

[0081] Optionally, the outer profile has a uniform cross-section over its entire length. In particular, the cross-section is essentially U-shaped.

[0082] In particular, the insert has the same cross-section over its entire length.

[0083] In particular, the beam has the same cross-section over its entire length.

[0084] A consistent cross-section allows for simple and cost-efficient production.

[0085] A substantially U-shaped cross-section of the outer profile is a material-saving and simple variant for creating an installation system with two different usable configurations.

[0086] Optionally, the cross-section of the outer profile has a spatial dimension of at least 20 mm by 20 mm. The maximum height and maximum width of the outer profile are therefore at least 20 mm each.

[0087] A built-in system with an external profile of a cross-section of the minimum size described above has a sufficiently large usable space.

[0088] Smaller cross-sections have a small usable space.

[0089] Optionally, the cross-section of the outer profile has a maximum spatial dimension of 120 mm by 120 mm. The maximum height and width of the outer profile are therefore each 120 mm.

[0090] An installation system with an outer profile of the maximum cross-section size described above, when embedded in a component, only has a minimal impact on various properties of the component, such as its statics. Due to its compact size, the installation system can be used even when the component has challenging static requirements.

[0091] Optionally, the U-shaped outer profile and insert are designed in such a way that the insert in the usable configuration is only attached to the outer profile on the side walls of the U-shaped outer profile.

[0092] Optionally, the outer profile, insert and support are designed as extruded profiles.

[0093] Extruded profiles can be produced quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.

[0094] In particular, an extruded profile is made of a metal. For example, an extruded profile is made of aluminum. An extruded profile made of metal exhibits stable mechanical properties. Aluminum, in particular, is ideal for the advantageous production of stable, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and versatile extruded profiles. An extruded profile made of aluminum is recyclable and can be manufactured in a resource-efficient manner.

[0095] An extruded profile can be made of plastic. Plastics can be specifically selected and processed based on their properties to produce advantageous extruded profiles. These advantages can include weight, corrosion resistance, robustness, color, and / or thermal expansion coefficient.

[0096] Optionally, the insert is designed in several parts, in particular in two parts.

[0097] Optionally, an insert comprises several parts which are of equal length and are arranged parallel to each other and at the same height along their longitudinal axes in the use position.

[0098] A multi-part inserter has the advantage that individual parts of the inserter can be moved independently of each other. This makes it possible to position one part at a time to create a usable configuration.

[0099] For example, if a slide-in unit is constructed in two parts, the first part can be positioned first, followed by the second. If the slide-in unit is detachably attached to the outer profile, the parts can be removed and attached independently of each other. Similar advantages apply to more than two parts.

[0100] In particular, the insert can be designed in two parts, wherein both parts are mirror-symmetrical and designed such that in the useful configuration they are arranged on two opposite sides of the carrier between the carrier and the outer profile.

[0101] Optionally, the installation system includes a sacrificial cover. The sacrificial cover is designed such that, once the insert is attached to the outer profile, it can be releasably attached to the installation system. In particular, the sacrificial cover is designed such that it can be releasably attached to the insert.

[0102] The sacrificial cover can simulate the positioning of the outer profile and insert in the usable configuration by being positioned in place of the support in the installation system. In this simulated usable configuration, the sacrificial cover forms a surface on the installation system that is flush with the component surface. In other words, the sacrificial cover, which can be removably attached to the installation system, forms a flat surface on the installation system that is flush with the component surface.

[0103] For example, the sacrificial cover is designed as a simulation of a functional part, in particular a front cover of a lighting system. Optionally, the sacrificial cover is designed in such a way that it uses the same elements for attachment to the installation system, and in particular to the insert, as a functional part to be attached later.

[0104] Even if the use of the installation system provides for an embedding in the component other than a flat one (i.e. a flat surface of the installation system which is arranged flush with the component surface), the sacrificial cover can allow such a flat embedding.

[0105] Using the sacrificial cover, the cover element can be attached to the component easily, quickly, and securely with the outer profile and insert installed. The sacrificial cover provides guidance for the flat installation of the cover element. The sacrificial cover protects the future usable space of the installation system from damage and / or contamination, particularly parts of the insert for attaching the support. The sacrificial cover can mechanically support and strengthen the installation system to prevent damage and deformation of the outer profile and / or insert.

[0106] Optionally, the installation system includes a mounting cover which is designed to be detachably attached to the outer profile and allows the outer profile to be positioned in a component and, in particular, offers protection to parts of the outer profile.

[0107] A mounting cover can be attached to the outer profile, for example, to an auxiliary structure (such as a formwork panel) to hold the outer profile in a predetermined position during installation into the base element (e.g., when encasing it in concrete). In particular, the mounting cover is already spatially fixed at a predetermined location before the outer profile is attached to it.

[0108] The mounting cover can protect the outer profile from dirt and damage. The mounting cover can mechanically reinforce the outer profile and protect it from deformation or damage.

[0109] The subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a preferred embodiment, which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. They each show a schematic side cross-section: Figure 1 shows a built-in system in a third useful configuration, embedded in a component with a cover element; Figure 2 shows an outer profile of the built-in system; Figure 3 shows a slide-in unit of the built-in system; Figure 4 shows a support of the built-in system; Figure 5 shows the support made of Figure 4 with intended use parts; Figure 6 the outer profile with a mounting cover attached to a formwork and embedded in a basic element of the component; Figure 7 the outer profile made of Figure 6 without assembly cover and formwork; Figure 8 the outer profile made of Figure 7 with inserted insert for a first usage configuration; Figure 9 the installation system in a first usage configuration, embedded in a component without cover element; Figure 10 analogous figure to Figure 8, but for a second configuration; Figure 11 the same outer profile and the same insert as in Figure 10 , with sacrificial cover inserted and cover element attached to the base element; Figure 12 the same as in Figure 11 , but with sacrificial cover removed and carrier inserted and thus in second useful configuration; Figure 13 the same as in Figure 12 but with front cover inserted; Figure 14 analog figure to Figures 1 , 9 and 13 , but in the fourth useful configuration; Figure 15 a schematic representation of a release of the insert from the outer profile.

[0110] In general, identical parts in the figures are provided with identical reference symbols. The designations left, right, bottom, and top refer to the drawing plane of the figures.

[0111] The Figures 1 to 15all show the same exemplary embodiment of a built-in system 1 according to the invention, each showing a lateral cross-section. This built-in system 1 is designed for use in lighting, and due to its design, the built-in system 1 can assume four different usage configurations.

[0112] In Figure 1 The installation system 1 is shown in its third use configuration. The installation system 1 is shown embedded in a component 5. The component 5 is a ceiling, which comprises a base element 6 and a cover element 7. In this case, the base element 6 is a concrete ceiling and the cover element 7 is a 6 mm thick layer of plaster. Figure 1It is clearly visible that an outer profile 2 is arranged flush with the base element 6. The outer profile 2 therefore does not protrude beyond the base element 6. A slide-in element 3 is arranged flush with the cover element 7 and is positioned between the outer profile 2 and a support 4.

[0113] The insert 3 fastens the support 4 to the outer profile 2 in a force-fitting, form-fitting, and detachable manner. For this purpose, the support 4 is fastened to the insert 3 in a force-fitting, form-fitting, and detachable manner, and the insert 3 is fastened to the outer profile 2 in a force-fitting, form-fitting, and detachable manner. The support 4 is fastened to the outer profile 2 exclusively by its attachment to the insert 3.

[0114] Various components 13.1-13.3 are attached to the installation system 1. A power supply 13.1 and an LED module 13.2 are attached to the support 4. A front cover 13.3, which can also be designed as a light diffuser, is attached to the insert 3.

[0115] In the Figures 2 to 4 The parts comprised by the installation system 1 are shown separately. Component 5 and the intended use parts 13.1-13.3 are not components of the installation system 1 according to the invention, but are shown in the corresponding figures merely for better understanding.

[0116] Figure 2 shows the outer profile 2, which is U-shaped. The outer profile 2 has the same cross-section over its entire length. It is made of extruded aluminum. On both side walls of the U-shape of the outer profile 2, four pairs of locking recesses 20 are formed on the inside, each offset by three millimeters. Figure 2 At the lower end of the outer profile 2, recesses 22 are also formed on the inside of the two side walls.

[0117] In Figure 3The insert 3 is shown. The insert 3 is constructed in two parts. The insert 3 is manufactured as an extruded aluminum profile and has the same cross-section over its entire length. Both parts of the insert 3 are identical and arranged in pairs mirror-symmetrically to each other in the installation system 1. Figure 3 On the respective outer sides of the inserts 3, a pair of locking lugs 21 is formed, which enables a releasable non-positive and positive fastening of the insert 3 to the locking recess pairs 20 of the outer profile 2. On the insert 3, Figure 3 upper end towards the inside arranged projections 23 as an attachment point for the attachment of the carrier 4 to the insert 3.

[0118] The carrier 4 is in Figure 4shown. The support 4 is made as an extruded aluminum profile and has the same cross-section over its entire length. The support 4 has bulges 24 on both sides at its upper end, which serve for the releasable, force- and form-fitting attachment to the projections 23 (i.e. the points of application for the attachment of the support 4) of the insert 3. A support base of the support 4 is located centrally on the support 4 and can serve as a mechanical base for intended use parts 13.1-13.3. If the support 4 is attached to the insert 3 and thereby fixed in the outer profile 4, the attachment of the insert 3 to the outer profile 2 cannot be released. The support 4 therefore cancels out the detachability of the attachment of the insert 3 to the outer profile 2 by its attachment to the insert 3 until the support 4 is released from the insert 3 again.

[0119] Figure 5 shows the wearer Figure 4, but additionally with different application parts 13.1 and 13.2. The power supply 13.1 is attached to the support 4 above the support base, and the LED module 13.2 is attached below the support base.

[0120] In Figure 6 It is shown how the outer profile 2 is provided with a mounting cover 12 and is attached to a formwork 8, for example by means of a Figure 6The mounting cover 12 is designed as an extruded plastic profile, which has the same cross-section over its entire length. The mounting cover 12 can therefore be nailed to the formwork 8 in the correct position. The outer profile 2 is then releasably fastened to the mounting cover 2, for example, with a snap-in mechanism using the recess 22 in the outer profile 2. Concrete is then poured, forming the base element 6. In this way, the outer profile 2 is embedded flush with the base element 6 and correctly positioned in the component 5.

[0121] In Figure 7 shows how the outer profile 2 from Figure 6 is embedded in the base element 6 when the assembly cover 12 and formwork 8 are removed. The outer profile 2 is thus immovably embedded in the base element 6 and its spatial position is fixed.

[0122] Figure 8 shows the same as Figure 7However, the insert 3 is also inserted into the outer profile 2 for a first usage configuration. This means that the insert 3 engages with its pairs of locking lugs 21 on both sides of the inner sides of the side walls of the outer profile 2 into the pairs of locking recesses 20 of the outer profile 2. The first usage configuration is the one that is formed furthest up. The first usage configuration is also arranged such that the insert 3 is flush with the outer profile 2. As a result, the insert 2 is also flush with the base element 6. The first usage configuration of the installation system 1 is thus provided for a component 5 without a cover element 7.

[0123] In Figure 9 The installation system 1 is shown in its first use configuration, in contrast to Figure 8The support 4, with the attached functional parts 13.1 and 13.2, is attached to the insert 3. In addition, the functional part 13.3, i.e., the front cover of the lighting, is attached to the insert 3 by a detachable, positive-locking mechanism. Thus, the installation system 1 used for lighting is embedded in the component 5, i.e., embedded in a ceiling made of exposed concrete (the base element 6) and thus without plaster (the cover element 7).

[0124] Figure 10 is an analogous figure to Figure 8However, for the second usage configuration, the insert 3 is attached to the outer profile 2. In the second usage configuration, the pairs of locking lugs 21 of the insert 3 engage with the second-highest pairs of locking recesses 20 of the outer profile 2. In this way, the lowest part of the insert 3 protrudes beyond the outer profile 2 (and thus also beyond the base element 6), in the example case by 3 mm. On the part of the insert 3 protruding beyond the outer profile 2, tear-off edges 10 are formed, which form flush abutment edges for the application of the cover element 7. The tear-off edges 10 thus serve as a mechanical stop for flush, seamless, clean, and even attachment of the cover element 7 to the installation system 1 and, at the same time, to the base element 6.

[0125] In Figure 11It is shown that with a sacrificial cover 11 attached to the insert 3, the insert 3 is mechanically reinforced and an interior of the insert 3 and the outer profile 2 is protected from damage and contamination when the cover element 7 is applied. Figure 11 the cover element 7 has already been applied, the sacrificial cover 11 was attached to the insert 3 before the cover element 7 was applied.

[0126] Figure 12 shows the same as Figure 11 , but with the sacrificial cover 11 removed and the support 4 inserted. The installation system 1 is thus in its second configuration. To complete the lighting, the front cover (i.e., the intended use part 13.3) is attached to the insert 3, as shown in Figure 13shown. The intended use part 13.3 uses the same fastening elements on the insert as the sacrificial cover 11. The second useful configuration of the installation system 1 is thus intended for a component 5 with a cover element 7 with a thickness of 3 mm.

[0127] Figure 14 is an analogous figure to Figures 1 , 9 and 13 However, the installation system 1 is in its fourth usable configuration. This means that the pairs of locking lugs 21 of the insert 3 engage with the lowest pairs of locking recesses 20 of the outer profile 2. In this way, the insert 3 protrudes 9 mm beyond the outer profile 2.

[0128] The installation system 1 can therefore be used with the same components (outer profile 2, insert 3, support 4) both in a component 5 with only the base element 6 without the cover element 7 (first useful configuration, Figure 9) as well as in a component 5 together with cover element 7. The second useful configuration is for a thickness of the cover element 7 of 3 mm ( Figure 13 ), the third useful configuration for a thickness of 6 mm ( Figure 1 ) and the fourth useful configuration for a thickness of 9 mm ( Figure 14 ) trained.

[0129] Figure 15 shows a schematic representation of how the insert 3 can be released from the outer profile 2 using a simple mechanical lever, here in the form of a standard tool such as a screwdriver. By slightly bending (elastic deformation), the pair of locking lugs 21 of the insert 3 can be levered out of the locking recess 20 of the outer profile. Fastening works analogously in the reverse direction.
