DE2617450A1 - Candle-shaped lamp for decorative lighting chain - has flame shaped bulb in socket fitting in tubular plastics stem simulating candle (NL 25.10.77) - Google Patents

Abstract

A candle-shaped lamp, which is partic. suited to form a chain of lights for decoration purposes, consists of a shaft socket with a fitting and a tension release bracket for the electrical leads. The bulb (4) has a pointed handle flame shape and fits into the socket (3). When assembled, the socket with the soldered electrical leads (5,6) is pushed into the top of the candle-shaped shaft (2) which is made from a plastics material. The shaft has an external bulging ring (23) with a slot (15) which engages the underside (1) of the plastic socket. The underside of the socket is widened by a ring-shaped edge (14). When engaged relative motion between the shaft and socket is prevented.

Description

"Candle shaft light"

The invention relates to a candle shaft light, in particular for Fairy lights, with a socket in a socket receiving the socket Strain relief for the electrical lines.

A candle shaft lamp is known in which in a one-piece, Shaft socket modeled on a candle, the socket with the electrical attached to it Lines is plugged in. Since these are electrical systems that are operated with a voltage of 220 volts, strain relief is necessary, in order to comply with the relevant safety regulations. In these well-known Candle shaft lights are therefore strain relief parts in the shaft between the socket and the base used, which work according to the loop principle.

Also known are so-called electric candles, in which one Candle shaft lamp, which is an extension of the pointed bulb-shaped incandescent lamp the actual shaft is molded on, screwed into the relatively short socket base is. The different colored base is usually with a molded ball stud articulated on a corresponding spring clip. These lights with the Separate, different colored plinths correspond to the desired image the electric Christmas candle.

A disadvantage of this construction, however, is the relatively high Price of the candle shaft lamp off.

The object of the invention is to provide a candle shaft light to propose in which the relatively inexpensive lamp can be used without shaping the shaft is, and the base is the one known from the well-known lights with candle shaft lamps Has stepped shape.

A candle shaft lamp is used to solve this problem of the invention proposed the type mentioned, which is characterized in that the Shank is secured against twisting in a base lower part.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the Shank with an outer bead ring in a groove in the lower part of the base, the shaft with its lower section on the bottom of the Base lower part puts on. In a manner known per se, this is done by drilling in the edge area of the floor the electrical cables are introduced, which are fed through the in this area touching the lower section of the shaft clamped strain-relieved are held. In this way, any additional strain relief can be dispensed with will.

In a further embodiment of the invention, longitudinal slots are in the lower Section of the shaft provided in the inside of the base part to prevent rotation Engage molded, eat-corresponding longitudinal webs.

Compared to the known constructions of electric candles the invention has significant price advantages because of the relatively expensive candle shaft lamps and an additional strain relief can be dispensed with.

The invention is based on an illustrated embodiment explained below.

The figures show: FIG. 1, in a partial sectional view, the individual parts a candle shaft lamp in an assembly arrangement, Figure 2 in a sectional view the area of the lower part of the base in which the shaft is compressed and figure 3 shows a section along the line I - I in FIG.

The candle shaft light consists of four individual parts, the base part 1, the shaft 2 that is blasted into it, the socket 3 inserted into the shaft 2 and the pointed bulb-shaped incandescent lamp 4. The electrical Lines 5 and 6 are passed through the two-part shaft base and occur through the holes 13 in the bottom 11 of the lower base part 1 to the outside.

During assembly, the version is first made in a manner known per se 3 with the soldered electrical lines 5 and 6 from above into the actual Plastic candle shaft 2 pushed in with clamping action. In its lower section this candle shaft 2 has a circumferential bead ring 23 on the outside. With this The bead ring is the lower section in the groove 15 on the lower base part 1 made of plastic sprinkled. In the area of the groove 15, the base part 1 is through the ring edge 14 widened outwards.

The lower portion of the shaft 2 is defined by longitudinal slots 21 in four lobes 22 divided. The length of this tab 22 is measured from the height the annular bead 23 dimensioned so that these flaps with their lower end faces on Place the bottom 11 of the lower part of the base 1. Two of the tabs 22 overlap partially the holes 13 in the edge region of the bottom 11. The holes through these holes introduced electrical lines 5 and 6 are therefore between the Bdn ': 11 and the tab 22 pinched. This entrapment provides sufficient strain relief.

The lower section of the shaft 2 is used to prevent rotation with its longitudinal slots 22 on the inside of the base part 1 molded corresponding Longitudinal webs 16 placed.

With the ball stud molded onto the bottom 11 of the lower base part 1 12 the fully assembled candle shaft light is in a corresponding articulated Bracket placed on a mounting bracket.

Instead of the bead-groove fastening of the shaft 2 in the lower part of the base 1 other locking connections can be used.
