DE29520900U1 - Reflective screen for energy-saving lamps to enable their use in spotlights - Google Patents

Description

In the last 15 years, many households have installed spotlight lamps as shown in Fig. 3 with reflector bulbs as shown in Fig. 1 (reflector bulb R60/60W). My reflective screen on the energy-saving lamp (compact gas discharge lamp) as shown in Fig. 2 makes it possible to replace the reflector bulb as shown in Fig. 1!

Until now, the use of energy-saving lamps (Fig. 2) in spotlight lamps according to Fig. 3 was not sensible due to the lack of reflection in the existing spotlight lamps. Such an energy-saving lamp is characterized by very low power consumption compared to conventional reflector lamps.

The energy-saving lamps have been developed for economical and creative lighting for existing lights with E27 bulb sockets. Their service life is approximately 8000 operating hours. The low heat generation is particularly advantageous. This advantage means that the reflective screen can be used without ventilation slots. The area of application covers the entire residential and catering sector. The sensible use of energy-saving lamps is always a benefit for consumers and the environment. The energy saved is always the cleanest energy, as it does not cause any pollution.

A small calculation example should illustrate the high savings costs.

Comparison

A three-spot light with incandescent lamps as shown in Bildl consumes 3x60W=I 8OW per hour

A three-bulb energy-saving lamp as shown in Fig.3 consumes 3x20W=60W per hour

The difference is 120W

On average, a three-lamp heater burns for 3.5 hours per day.
3.5 hours per day x 365 days per year = 1277 hours.
1277 hours x 120W = 153.3 kWh
153 kWh x 0.24DM = 36.70 DM

Example: I buy 3 energy-saving lamps for 25 DM each, so this is 3x25 DM = 75 DM purchase costs. With a one-off investment of around 75 DM, I can save 36.70 DM per year!
49% of the acquisition costs are amortized in the first year!

The invention is described below using preferred embodiments in conjunction with the drawing.

Herein show:

Fig. 1 the reflective screen

Fig. 2 an energy saving lamp with screen and spacer rings

Fig 3 an energy saving lamp with screen and spacer rings mounted in an already mounted one-piece spotlight lamp

Fig. 4 an energy saving lamp with a screen mounted in an already assembled two-part spotlight lamp (a modified embodiment).

In the reflective screen shown in Fig. 1, two dimensions were designated Xl and X2. By extending Xl and X2, the remaining visible tube (9) in Fig. 2, 3 and 4 is reduced.

The 3 or more recesses (as required) allow the cylindrical part (3) to adapt to the round or square base (7) of the energy-saving lamp.

Fig. 2 shows an energy-saving lamp with a screen and spacer rings. Since the energy-saving lamp manufacturers have different base dimensions (7), a corresponding number of spacer rings (4 and 5) are required so that the reflective screen can be used for all energy-saving lamps available on the market.

The unit according to Fig. 2 can be used with one-piece lampshades, as can be seen from Fig. 3.

In this spotlight, the lampshade (6) and the socket body (8) are one unit.

In the two-part spotlights according to Fig. 4, the lampshade (6)

unscrewed and the reflective energy saving lamp as a unit (according to Fig. 2) can be screwed into the remaining socket body (8).

By changing the existing lamp, I can create a new

form spotlight design.

Claims (3)

Marc-Andre' Pleier, 36369 Lautertal 4 Page 2 Protection claims 1. The reflective screen for energy-saving lamps (Fig. 1) is characterized by the fact that it can be used with energy-saving lamps according to Fig. 2 wherever reflector lamps according to Fig. 1 are used. Due to the 3 or more recesses on the cylindrical part (see Fig. 1), the diameter is slightly tightened when plugged onto the energy-saving lamp, and an increased surface pressure is created at the clamping points. The recesses can also be replaced by open slots. In the modified version, the remaining ring surface is pre-stressed, and this also results in increased surface pressure. 2. The reflective screen for energy-saving lamps according to claim 1 is characterized in that it forms an exchangeable unit with the energy-saving lamp, see Fig. 2. 3. The reflective screen for energy-saving lamps according to claims 1 and 2 is characterized in that this unit (see Fig. 2) fits into the existing lampshade and ensures the light reflection (see Fig. 3). The reflective screen according to Fig. 1, 2 and 3 is characterized by the fact that the bending radius (1) always adapts to the existing radiator screen (6). This bending radius therefore also serves as a stop. The reflective radius (2) ensures optimum reflection. The diameter of the cylindrical part (3) of the attachable reflector is adjusted so that it fits the maximum base diameter (7) of the energy-saving lamp. Due to the 3 or more recesses (see Fig. 1), it fits round and square base versions (7) of the energy-saving lamps. I also reserve the right to attach the reflective screen to the base (7) of the energy-saving lamp without a cylindrical clamping part, with a solid radius, see dashed line in Fig. 2 and 3. The attachment (10) to the energy-saving lamp can be made by screwing, gluing, riveting, etc.
