Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an adapter (10) for supporting and electrically connecting a lighting apparatus (50) to an electrified track (60), particularly suitable for the support and the electrical connection of elongated lighting apparatus or linear lighting apparatus. The adapter (10) comprises a box-like body (11) at whose interior a mechanism (20) is housed for extracting and retracting at least one electrical contact (21,22,23) such that the box-like body (11) is able to assume a first compact configuration, wherein the at least one electrical contact (21,22,23) is substantially housed inside the box-like body (11), and a second configuration wherein the at least one electrical contact (21,22,23) is at least partially extracted from the box-like body (11), the box-like body (11) being associated with at least one interface element (12,13) for coupling to a lightning apparatus (55) and is characterised in that the at least one interface element (12,13) is movable between a first extracted configuration and a second retracted configuration with respect to the box-like body (11), wherein the retraction and extraction movements respectively determine the passage of the box-like body (11) from its first compact configuration to its second extracted configuration and vice versa.
