Description

219~~88 rc . $1 t HALOGEN INCANDESCENT LAMP IN CEMENTLESS BASE
The invention relates to a halogen incandescent lamp in a cementless base as generiaaliy defined by the preamble to claim 1.
Such a lamp is disclosed for instance in US Patent 4,492,893. The lamp described there is a halogen incandescent lamp in a cementless base for use. in a motor ~rehicle headlight.
This lamp has a lamp bulb with a pinch seal that has two broad sides and two narrow sides and that is clampingly fixed in a recess of a holder past that is part of the base. Securing the pinch foot in the holder part is done by means of a plurality of l.0 securing or support tabs which cot an both the broad sides and the narrow sides of the pinch seal. Since the thickness of the Qinch seal is uniform over its entire length, the support tabs resting in clamping fashion against the bread sides of. the pinch seal exert a strong pressure on the pinch seal, which can damage the glass at the pinch seal when the lamp is being mounted on its base. The support tabs acting an the narrow sides of the pinch seal can even, because of the relatively small bearing surface and the strong contact pressure against the narrow sides, cause splitting of the pinch seal.
The object of the invention is to furnish a halogen incandescent lamp in a cementless base with an improved base, which when the lamp is being mounted on its base considerably lessenr> the risk of damage tb the pittGh seal.
This object is attained in accordance with the invention by the characteristics of the body of claim 1. Espaaially advantageous features of the invention are described by the dependent claims.
The halogen ~.ncandescent lamp according tea the invention is c~:31I3S NOIS~iSHIS~ N~~:;Jti 1~P?~tc'.9 ~~~' E~b+ hi-1~J-d i~J~ZISO~hJ~fl OG
hS~bT, ZSrJ-6Ir carried by a metal holder part, which is a component of the lamp base. The holder part has a stamped-out recess, in which the pinch seal, having two broad sides and two narrow sides, of the lamp bulb is clampingly fixed with the aid of support tabs. The support tabs are formed onto the holder part, and they all act upon the broad sides of the pinch seal, which is substantially rectangular in cross section, while the narrow sides of the pinch seal are located in the recess of the holder part without touching it. As a result, the tolerances in the width of the pinch seal do not affect the magnitude of the support forces. In addition, the pinch seal of the lamp bulb is tapered in the direction of the base; that it, on its free end toward the base, the pinch seal has a lesser thickness than on its end remote from the base.
As a result of these provisions, in comparison with the prior art, the danger of damage to the pinch seal on insertion into the holder part is reduced.
Advantageously, the broad sides of the pinch seal are each provided with a guide rib extending longitudinally, parallel to the narrow sides, and the guide ribs are adapted with an accurate fit each to one recess of two support tabs resting clampingly on the broad sides. Together with the guide ribs, the support tabs permit lateral fixation of the pinch seal in the holder part. Moreover, the aforementioned support tabs are resilient. Their free ends, each together with two luglike protrusions projecting upward from the broad sides of the pinch seal, form a detent closure, which once the support tabs have locked in place behind the detent protrusions, prevents the pinch seal from being pulled out of the holder part. Advantageously, the holder part also has four additional support tabs, so that the two broad sides of the pinch seal and the support tabs each have four bearing or support points in common.
2a 'Ihe lamp bulb is also provided, in the transitional ragion to the pznch seal, with a plurality of formed-on depth stops, which once the lamp has been assembled are seated on the holder part. These depth stops advantageously rest on four support tabs and exert a sl~.ght pressure on them. In cooperation with the aforementioned detent alcsure, they enable an axial positional fixation of the pinch seal in the holder part without play. TY~.e holder part according to the invention is advantageously of special steel, rather than new silver. Thus nickel-coating of the holder part, which is environmentally polluting, can be omitted.
The invention will be described in further detail below in terms of a preferred exemplary embodiment. shown are:

~5 The halogen ~.ncandescent lamp in a cementless base of the invention, in the preferred exemplary embodiment to be described in further detail here, is a halogen incandescent lamp for use in a motor vehicle headlight. Fig, 1 i.Ilustrates the structure of this lamp. The halogen incandescent lamp of the invention has a lamp bulb Z of hard gl~;ss, pinched tightly on one end.

~~ 9~2~8 seal i0 of the lamp bulb ~. it clampingly fixed in a cup-shaped holder part 2 of special steel. The ho7-der part z, together with the base sheath 3 and the adjusting plate ~~ formed onto it, along with the base block 5, forms the lamp base, The holder part 2 is welded to the adjusting plate 4 via welding lugs 13 stamped aut of the adjusting plate 4 and bent upward, Located inside the lamp bulb 1 are two filaments 6, 7 which are each electrically conductively conzxected to a respecti~re contact lug 9 via a total of three power leads 8 that protrude from the pinch seal 30 and are fused into a glass bead 11. one of the filaments S is provided with a dimmer hood 12.
ThA parts o~ the lamp essential to a~.nderstandi.ng of the invention are Shown in Figs. 2-5. Fig. 2 shows the holder part of the halogen incandescent lamp according to the invention, seen from below. Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate the cooperation of the pinch seal 10 and the holder part 2. The holder part 2 has a stamped-out recess 2p, in which the pinch seal 10 is clampingly fixed.
Six support tabs 21a, alb, 2~a, z2b, 23c~, ~3b are formed onto the hvl~ier part Z and bent downward, that is, in the direction of the aonta~ct lugs 9; these support tabs rest clampingly against the broad sides of the pinch seal 1o, xrhich is essentially rectangular in crass section. Four of the support tabs 2ia, 22b, z~ao 23b are reinforced by means of beads, Which in the horizontally extending portion lend them an approximately V-shaped croJs section, while the two remaining support tabs 21a, 21b each have an approximately centrally located recess 24a, 24b.
These recesses 24d, 24b are each adapted, t~it.h an acCUr~lt$ fit, to a respective guide rib 50a, 50b formed nnt~~ the nxc~ad sides of the pinch seal 10. The guide ribs 50a, 50b extend in the longitudinal direction, that is, parallel to the narrow sides of the pinch seal SD:~lI~S hJOl~:~l3Hl~d H~l:hJt~ -~'a~~WS 5~ bt?+- L~-lid IJ~:~SCI:I,:L.;r1 fJC7 ~5:t'I ~~~7-6'm.

10, and are located approximately centrally on the broad sides of the pinch seal 10. To both sides of the guide ribs 50a, 50b, there is one respective luglike protrusion 51a, 52a, 51b, 52b each, which are likewise formed onto the pinch seal 10. The upper end of these luglike protuberances 51a, 52a, 51b, 52b, together with the free ends of the support tabs 21a, 21b, forms a detent closure. The pinch seal 10 is tapered in graduated fashion toward the bottom, or in other words toward the base. The thickness of the pinch seal 10, below the luglike protrusions 51a, 52a, 51b, 52b, is approximately 3.4 mm, while above the luglike protrusions 51a, 52a, 51b, 52b, it is approximately 3.8 mm. The narrow sides of the pinch seal 10 are encompassed, without touching, by circularly curved edges 25 of the recess 20 in the holder part 2. The pinch seal 10 is also equipped with four depth stops 53a, 54a, 53b, 54b, which are formed onto the broad sides of the pinch seal 10 in the transitional region to the lamp bulb 1. These depth stops 53a, 54a, 53b, 54b, after assembly, are seated on the support tabs 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b, which because of their beads protrude from the surface of the cap of the holder part 2.
In accordance with this invention, there is provided a halogen incandescent lamp in a cementless base having a lamp bulb (1), which is provided with a pinch seal (10), the pinch seal (10) having two broad sides and two narrow sides, a base, which has a base sheath (3) and a metal holder part (2) secured to the base sheath (3), the holder part (2) having a recess (20) in which the pinch seal (10) is clampingly fixed, support tabs (21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b), formed onto the holder part (2), which rest clampingly on the pinch seal (10), characterized in that the pinch seal (10) is tapered iri the direction toward the base;
all the support tabs (21~a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b) formed onto the holder part (2) and acting upon the pinch seal (10) are oriented toward the broad sides of the pinch seal (10);
