MECHANICAL CONNECTION INTERFACE AND COLUMN LUMINAIRE COMPRISING A MECHANICAL CONNECTION INTERFACE
The present invention is directed to a mechanical connection interface (5) for connecting columnar modules (2, 3, 4) of a column luminaire (1) along a connection axis (C), comprising an upper interface part (6) having a first abutment section (60) with a first axial abutment face (61) extending circumferentially about the connection axis (C) and a skirt section (62) axially extending from the first abutment section (60) to delimit a connection space (63) to which the first axial abutment face (61) is facing, and a lower interface part (7) having a second abutment section (70) with a second axial abutment face (71) extending circumferentially about the connection axis (C), wherein, in a connected state, the lower interface part (7) is received in the connection space (63) at least with its second axial abutment face (71) so that the first and second axial abutment faces (61, 71) are facing each other in an axial direction, and wherein the upper interface part (6) further comprises a fixing element (8) being provided to be moveable along a fixing axis (F) being obliquely oriented with respect to the connection axis (C) between a release position, in which the fixing element (8) is radially distanced from a connection section (74) of the lower interface part (7) so as to allow a relative rotational movement of the upper and lower interface parts (6, 7) about the connection axis (C), and a connection position, in which the fixing element (8) engages the connection section (74) to apply a connection between the first and second axial abutment faces (61, 71) so as to restrict or eliminate a relative rotational movement of the upper and lower interface parts (6, 7) about the connection axis (C). The present invention is further directed to a column luminaire (1) extending along a longitudinal axis (L) and comprising at least two columnar modules (2, 3, 4) being connected by the mechanical connection interface (5) according to the invention.
