FIG. 1 shows a tanning module according to the invention including radiation filter and electric connections in a three-dimensional view. The housing 1 has on one side the shape of a four-sided pyramid la with rectangular base and flattened pyramid apex 1b. On three sloping sides of the pyramid are circular air exhaust openings, two of them closed, and one provided with a flange 5. The rectangular base is adjoined by a rectangular housing wall portion 1c. Into this is hooked, through opening 13, the radiation filter 2 (see FIG. 1b) which is within a frame structure, an air intake opening 10 remaining free. The frame structure for the radiation filter 2 contains among other things a frame 18 and the cover plate 17 (see FIG. 1b). The locking button 14 holds the radiation filter 2 in its position by means of a snap fastening mechanism which, upon opening, shuts off the tanning radiator. If the locking button is opened, the radiation filter 2 folds down with the frame structure, while the opening 13 prevents any complete drop-out. Not until the radiation filter 2 has been pulled forward is it completely releasable from the housing 1. On the side of the pyramid that has no air exhaust opening, a touch contact 11, starter 15 and electrical connections 16 are installed. FIG. 1a shows the tanning module from FIG. 1 in a side view. FIG. 1b shows the front of the tanning module from FIG. 1, wherein the arrangement of the touch contact 11 on the radiation filter 2 can now be clearly seen. Moreover, a mounting 7 can be seen on which the starter 15 is installed. FIG. 1c shows the tanning module from FIG. 1 from below, the frame 18 and the cover plate 17 being visible. The transparent radiation filter 2 (see FIG. 1b) is between the frame 18 and the cover plate 17. A twelve-angled reflector 3 is present, which is formed of the facets 3a. The touch contact 11 is brought through the cover plate 17 and rests on the radiation filter 2 (see FIG. 1b). In the center of the reflector 3 the base 12 can be seen, including the electrical terminals for the tanning radiator. FIG. 1d shows the tanning module from FIG. 1b in section; here a first radiation filter 2a and a second radiation filter 2b are present. The reflector 3 is connected through an intake plate 8 to the housing 1. FIG. 1e shows the tanning module from FIG. 1a in section, where a first radiation filter 2a and a second radiation filter 2b are present. The air exhaust opening 4 on which the flange 5 is mounted can be seen. The reflector 3 is connected through the intake plate 8 to the housing 1. FIG. 2 shows an intake plate 8 including a cut-out 8a for the reflector 3, as well as four trapezoidal intake openings 9. Moreover, an opening 11a is present for the touch contact 11 (see FIG. 1b). FIG. 2a shows the tanning module from FIG. 1c without the radiation filter 2 and reflector 3, wherein the view of the pyramid 1a and pyramid apex 1b is clear from the inside. FIG. 3 shows a three-dimensional view of a plurality of tanning modules mounted one beside the other. On the left is a tanning module with radiation filter 2 and frame 18 in place. In the center is shown a tanning module with the radiation filter including the tanning radiator folded down, and the intake plate with circular intake openings 9 and the reflector 3 can be seen. On the right is shown a tanning module without radiation filter and without tanning radiator. All three modules are provided with air exhaust hoses 6. FIG. 4 shows three tanning modules in section which are arranged as in FIG. 3. A first radiation filter 2a and a second radiation filter 2b are present.
