Lamp holder r

The invention relates to a lamp holder for connection of ribbon cables, preferably for use in vehicle electrics.

Known lamp holders commonly used in vehicle electrics have metal sockets, the connections of which as Tongues are executed. The connections to the vehicle wiring are made here by plugging on flat socket plugs attached to the cable ends. For the wiring of motor vehicles, however, are increasing flat ribbon cables are also used, for the connection of which the known lamp sockets are not suitable.

The object of the invention is to create a lamp holder for plug-in lamps, the connections of which are simple Way can be electrically connected to the conductor ends of ribbon cables. The lamp holder should also can be fastened, for example, in recesses in vehicle walls without the aid of assembly tools.

According to the invention this is achieved in that the as Insulating body formed as a base part has two retaining legs arranged within a collar with on their insides has holding legs guided and pressed by a frame against the connections of the lamp used, and that the base part is fixed with its collar in the shaft of a cap-like plastic part,

The design of the lamp holder will vary Benefits achieved. The preparation for fastening the ribbon cable only requires the usual stripping process. The conductor ends are then inserted through the slots arranged in the base part of the insulating body and wrapped around the ends of the retaining legs. Electrical contact is established when the lamp is inserted and secured by the frame pressed in between the retaining leg and collar, with an increase at the same time the contact pressure is made. After putting on the cap-like plastic part and connecting it Fastening with the insulator, the assembly of the lamp holder is complete.

According to the stated advantages, the lamp holder is designed in that the insulation is stripped Conduct the ribbon cables through two in the base part of the Slits arranged in the insulating body are guided and their ends are placed around the rounded edge of the free end of the retaining leg,

TJm to achieve an additional positional securing of the strip conductor in the base part of the insulating body, are after a further training of the lamp holder, the strip conductor attached to the inner sides of the holding legs by an adhesive connection.

Advantages already mentioned are achieved in accordance with a further development of the lamp holder in that the frame made of insulating material between Collar and retaining legs of the insulator * are used is.

According to another training that establishes the connection between the base part and the cap, the lamp holder is the in

inserted the shaft of the cap-like plastic part Collar secured by means of a pin inserted into corresponding holes.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the lamp holder, in the front part of the Plastic body arranged a reflector covered by a lens.

So that the lamp holder can be fastened in the recess of a vehicle wall, according to a further Formation of the lamp holder on the front part of the plastic body has two rearward-facing, resilient locking lugs intended·

The invention is illustrated by means of one in the drawing Embodiment described in more detail. In the drawing shows:

1 shows the insulating body provided with strip conductors and a lamp and the one in the insulating body insertable frame of the lamp holder before assembly, shown partially in section, in perspective view;

2 shows the insulating body provided with strip conductors and a lamp and a cap-like plastic body that can be placed on the insulating body of the lamp holder, disassembled, in perspective view.

In the? Ig. 1, a lamp holder is shown, whose Insulating body 1 on the front two holding legs 2,3 has, which within a rectangular collar 4

are arranged. A part of the collar 4 is drawn cut open so that the retaining leg 2 is more visible is. This and the other holding leg 2, 3 is resilient. Both retaining legs 2, 3 have rounded ones Ends on.

The base of the insulating body 1 penetrate two slots 5, 6 such that the inserted strip conductor 7, 8 to the Inside of the retaining legs 2, 3 received an attachment. Each strip conductor 7, 8 is so far into the slots 5, 6 inserted so that its free end can be wrapped around the rounded edge of the retaining leg the HalteschenkeIn in addition, for example through Glue, be attached.

The space between the ends of the retaining legs 2, 3 forms a clamp socket for the insertable lamp 9 »whose connections are arranged in parallel on the outer sides of its base are. When the lamp 9 is pressed into the clamp socket, it becomes a rectangular one made of insulating material existing frame 10 over the retaining legs 2 »3 of the Insulator 1 pushed. This frame 10 receives its Seat between the outer surfaces of the holding legs 2, 3 and the collar 4, whereby the resilient pressure of the holding legs is secured. The lamp connections thus come into good electrical contact with the conductors of the ribbon cables 7, 8.

The arrangement described can also be used in the case of the FIG The example shown can be used. Here is the insulating body accommodating the lamp is denoted by 11 and the lamp shown separately is denoted by 12. Another Plastic body is denoted by 13. The one as a hollow body trained insulating part 13 serves to accommodate the lamp bulb and as a reflector and lens. The reflector

and the part of the plastic body 13 comprising the lens is denoted by 14. On this part 14 there are two resilient ones Rastnfcsen 15 arranged, one of which is shown visible is. During assembly, the insulating body 11 provided with the lamp 12 inserted is inserted into the opening of the other insulating part 13 inserted and both parts by inserting a pin into corresponding holes 16, connected with each other. Then the lamp holder completed in this way is pressed into the opening of a plate, wherein the locking lugs 15 spring open behind the plate and attach the lamp holder.

The one in the Pig. 2 shown insulating body 13 is at the Outer wall of a motor vehicle attached and represents a This arrangement can also be attached to other mounting plates or walls, with also a different shape of the lamp holder can be selected.

If the lamp holder is part of the Cabling of a motor vehicle is where ribbon cables are used, so their ends are cut to length freed from the insulation that receives its system on the insides of the retaining legs 2, 3.
