-A-

The invention relates to a light strip for lighting f

of stands, rides and the like at fairs, f |

Fairgrounds and the like, preferably with several, side by side and optionally also light bulbs arranged one behind the other in sockets.

It is well known that fairgrounds and stands or the like on these, be they fixed or movable, are common The main feature is the need for extensive lighting, which is covered by thousands of light bulbs different colors and arrangements in the most varied of shapes on racks, frames and bracing of the most varied Art distinguishes itself. Such arrangements, of course, require the use of as many sockets on the racks and the like are firmly attached, so that the system requires a very large amount of work. In practice however, it is the case for various reasons that the lightbulbs do not sustain the vibration for a long time Withstand the course of the games and during transport as well as during repeated assembly and dismantling.

In addition, because of their fragility, since their flasks are made of glass, they are also subject to real fractures, e.g. if other parts of the structure collide with it during assembly or dismantling or during transport. The inevitable Replacing broken lightbulbs poses a problem because of the significant cost imposed by both the The cost of the pears themselves is also related to the need to keep a large supply also in terms of the pears To keep colors, and because of the amount of work to change, also taking into account the height in which the pears are.

The invention is therefore based on the object of a lamp attachment to create which the lightbulbs from poking

and protects against shock damage, results in an improved lighting effect with lower power consumption and which can be applied without. the 'normal carriers must be modified so that the Conversion can be done quickly and easily, saving costs, labor and time.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that j each lightbulb of the light strip is covered by a protective

The light bar according to the invention improves the previously customary arrangements very significantly in that only colorless, shock-resistant, low-volt lightbulbs are required, which are elastically attached and ι. ■ the protective case from a robust, shock-resistant

For a better understanding of the invention, it is described below For example, described in more detail in connection with the accompanying drawings, namely show:

The light bulbs 12 are on the supports 1 with the aid of Fits 2 are arranged, which are inserted and fastened in bores 4 in a manner known per se.

These sockets have an outer collar J at the end facing the light bulb 12. According to the invention is on the fit 2 a coupling piece 5 is attached, which elastically grasps the collar 3 with its upper edge 6, which is facilitated by the conical part 7 of the socket.

The coupling piece 5 is made of a fairly hard one, however elastically deformable material, for example made of hard rubber. It has one parallel to the axis the lamp 12 extending, protruding edge, the interior of which by a concentric to the edge Wall 8 is divided. This wall is spread outwardly in the shape of a truncated cone with its lower, free end.

The inner, inwardly curved edge 9 of a protective container 11 rests on this wall 8, which is thereby is firmly and tightly anchored and is elastically movable so that it can absorb the vibrations, whereby the socket and thus also the incandescent lamp 12 is insensitive to vibrations.

The protective container 11 surrounds and protects the light bulb IS. It is made of a preferably matt, transparent or translucent material in a wide variety of colors and shapes such as a normal light bulb.

The light bulb 12 is a special incandescent

Bulb of the type used in motor vehicles, for low voltage and a very robust filament with a high resistance to impact. It comes with a relatively low Voltage operated.

With the system according to the invention, the aforementioned Aims of the invention achieved because the externally visible lighting fixture is no longer the light bulb itself is, but it is formed by the special protective container made of matt material.

The protective container 11 can be made of plastics, so that the possibility of breakage as a result of Bumping is low. In addition, it can be made in any color, so that all you want in the decoration Color effects can be achieved. Another advantage to be mentioned is that the protective container 11 has the shape of a lightbulb, so that in practice the end effect is such that the whole thing looks like a so-called drop light bulb of large diameter appears.

The protective container 11 is compared to the actual lamp used in it of much larger dimensions than the lightbulb itself, so that it contains a large volume of heat-insulating air through which the plastic passes is protected from excessive heating, and also an effective dissipation of the heat via a large in Contact with the outside air allows.

The lower part of the protective container 11 is a removable lid 15, which is for example by pressing on the stop

Since the car glow runners that are used earlier, one Sockets with a smaller diameter will be used in the Fit 2 an intermediate piece 15 holding this base is used, which is provided with a flat 10 1st, the presses against the inner surface of the coupling piece 5, whereby the latter is stiffened. In this way, the transmission of vibrations to the protective container avoided and the lamp experiences sufficient vibration damping.

In the embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 3, a standard socket 2 with an intermediate piece is not used, but the smaller fit of the low-voltage lamp is attached to the carrier 1 by suitable measures. The pressed onto the socket coupling piece 5 is clamped between the holder and DA i at carrier, and the protective container is attached to it as described above. By inserting the coupling piece 5 between the fit and the carrier, the lamp is also elastically supported against the carrier 1 in this embodiment and is thus shock-absorbent and protected from external damage by the protective container.
