Abstract

ABSTRACT:

In an electric lamp with a sleeve-shaped cap and an inner sleeve carrying the bulb, the cap has at least two lugs protruding inwards and the inner sleeve is pro-vided with at least two slots on its cylindrical sheath, which engage the lugs. The lugs and the slots provide the fixation of the cap to the inner sleeve without the appli-cation of heat.

Description

2~`i PHD 79~093 -1-The invention relates to an electric lamp with a bulb and a sleeve-shaped cap, in which a cylindrical inner sleeve carrying the bulb is inserted.
In the case of normal lamps of this kind (e.g.
our DE-OS 1 48g 414 which was made available to the public on March 6, 1969 or FR-P~ 769 029 which was published on August 17, 1934 and is owned by Compagnie de Signaux et d'entreprises electriquesj the cap and the inner sleeve are joined together by soldering or welding after assembly.
Connections of this kind are troublesome and expensive.
There is also the problem that the material can be des-troyed during spot welding if low thicknesses are used.
The invention is therefore based on the problem of creating an electric lamp whose cap and inner sleeve can be connected with no additional heat treatment, such as welding or soldering.
In the case of an electric lamp of the aforemen-tioned type, this problem is solved, according to the invention, by the sleeve shaped cap having at least two lugs protruding inwards~and the inner sleeve being pro-vided on its cylindrical sheath with at least two slots extending in the direction of the lamp axis, which slots open into the end of the inner sleeve remote from the bulb and engage the lugs.
~ In this way a purely mechanical fastening is achieved between lamp cap and inner sleeve.
.
In~one embodiment, the lugs are formed in the shape of protrusions pushed inwards from the metal walI of : ~
the cap. Of course, the lugs can alternatively be formed in the shape of pins attached to the cap and protrudinginwards.
Due to the combined effect of the inner sleeve's slots and the cap lugs, the cap and inner sleeve are guaranteed not to twist relative to each other. Movement in the direction;of the axis is prevented if the power ~ supply leads protruding ~from the bulb are tightened and :: :

PHD 79-093 _~_ 14-3-1980 soldered to the cap contacts.
The slots may be shaped so that they widen -to -the edge. The cap and inner sleeve can then be pu-t together easil~, without the two parts having to be precisely ad-justed to one another be~orehand.
If, ~or mechanical reasons ~or instance, the powersupply leads are not suitable as a means o~ preventing axial movement between the cap and the inner sleeve, then in an advantageous version of the lamp according to the invention the slot can be provided with spring clips which are pressed apart by the cap lugs during insertion of the inner sleeve into the cap, and in the ~inal position of the inner sleeve spring back behind the lugs.
In this way the spring clips o~ the inner sleeve actually snap in b0hind the cap lugs, thus~ ensuring that the inner sleeve is firmly secured in the cap, even in the direction of the axis.
The clips may consist o~ inwardly-bent spring-loaded edges of the inner sleeve's cylindrical sheath adjacent 20~ the slots.
The ~amps according to the inven-tion may be in-candescent lamps used in motor vehiGles, for example as rear lights or as winker lamps.
Two embodiments o:~ lamps according to the invention ara no~ described in more detail on the basis of the diagram;

PHD 79-O93 ~3~ 14-5-1980 through 9O, of an incandescent lamp with a different kind of inner slee~e;
Fig. 8 shows a top view onto the inner sleeve of the lamp in Figs. 6 and 7 on a larger scale;
Fig. 9 shows a longitudinal section through the inner slee~e as in Fig. 8, along the line IX-IX;
Fig. 10 shows a longitudinal section, turned through 9O, through the inner sleeve, along line X-X of Fig. 9;
Fig. 11 shows a cross-section through the inner slee~e along line XI-XI of ~ig. 10.
In Figs. 1 and 27 1 is a bulb, m~de for instance of hard glass, in a small halogen incandescent lamp, which at its end has a pinch 2 which is rectangular in cross-section and in which power leads 3 and 4, leading to a l5 ~ coil 5~ are embedded9 the ends 6 and 7 of which protrude from the pinch 2.
The lamp bulb 1, together with i~ts pinch 2, is fixed n a coverplate 8 of a metal inner sleeve 9 (Figs. 3 to 5).
or this purpose, two holding clips 10 are pressed out 20~ of the co~erpla-te 8 at right angles, the distance between them corresponding~to the thickness o~ the Pinch 2. The pinch 2 is;jammed into~the~opening 11 thus created in the coverplate~8,~ until it comes up against the bulb 1.
The inner~sleeve 9 is pro~ided on its cylindrical 25 ~she~th ~12 with two slots 1~4 e~tending in the direction of the~lamp axis a~ far~ai the édge 13 remote from bulb i and opening into the edge 13, The inner slee~e 9 is placed tightly in a metal sl~eeve-shaped cap 1~5O For~this purpose, the cap 15 has two 30~ lugs;16~protruding inwards, o~er which the slots 14 of the in~er sleeve 9 fit, when the latter is inserted into the cap;;15 ~;By~thi~s means the oap 15 and the inner slee~e 9 are~guarante0d against twisting~relati~e to one Qnother.
The~inner sleeve 9 is pushed into~the cap 15 until the cap 35~ lugs 16 come up agàinst the end of the slots 14 in the cylindrical sheath 12 of t~e inner slee~e 9. The ends 6 and 7 of the power leads 3 and 4 are then soldered to the cap contacts 17 and 18 after being tightened~ so that the ': , .:

inner slee~e 9 in the cap 15 is also secured in the direc-tion of the axis.
Figs. 6 to 11 show another embodiment of the lamp according to the invention, in which the axial securing of the inner sleeve in the lamp cap is done differently. The same parts have been given the same references as in Figs.
1 to 5. In this embodiment, however, the holding clips 10 in the coverplate 8 of the i~mer sleeve 9 are not at right angles, but are simply bent inwards at an angle. On its two major surfaces, the pinch 2 of the lamp bulb 1 has shoulders 19, running at right angles to the lamp's longi-tudinal axis, behind which the holding clips 10 of the inner sleeve 9, bent at an angle, lock into position when the lamp bulb 1 is inserted. This type of plate is known from U.S. Patent 4119 877 which issued on October 10~ 1978 and is assigned to U.S. Philips Corporation.
The inner sleeve 9 is again provided with slots 24, which open into the edge 13 of the cylindrical sheath 12 of the inner sleeve 9. However, the slots 24 in this case have spring clips 20 in their central part, which protrude inwards and consist of inwardly-bent edges of the cylindrical sheath 12 adjacent the slot. These spring clips 20 reduce the width of the slots 24 somewhat, but are pressed apart by the cap lugs 16 when the inner sleeve :
9 is inserted into the sleeve-shaped cap 15, and in the final position of the inner sleeve 9 spring back behind the lugs 16, so that the inner sleeve 9 is axially secured in the cap 15. (Fig. 7).
