an adjacent main walking section containing a light source is connected to the connector housing section is releasably to connect positively.

Ship lights are known to be used as navigation lights of various kinds; Sea marks and the like on certain To attach places of a ship, and swar for example also with sailing yachts or also other ships on a mast. Should such a mast be used when driving under low bridges Recovery of a sailing yacht in winter or the like are, it often comes to damage to the ship light in question, so that it is desirable is, this is at least largely, i.e. with regard to its sensitive parts, temporarily to be able to dismantle.

From this point of view, a ship's luminaire of the type described at the beginning has already become known, - in which the connection housing section consists of a flange which is essentially small in relation to the diameter of the main housing section and which is attached to the relevant part of the ship, for example on a mast, by means of four screws is to be attached, and from which hochstcht a pin-like in diameter even smaller male contact portion, which has a union-nut on its circumferential surface, the internally threaded circumferential surface to be connected to a correspondingly adapted Gewindcabschnjtt, the terminal housing portion w.enn mit_dem main Housing section is connected, in this assembled state the

both halves of the plug-in contact are electrically connected to each other »

This known ship light has various disadvantages on. So, first of all, is such a thing with a view to the required fastening, it is necessarily a fine thread in the rough operations of the sea when exposed to salt water and the like, extremely sensitive because Deposits form on the two threads, which means that the thread is relatively smaller Make operating time unusable.

In addition, the thread diameter in the known ship's light is relatively small (approx * 30mm), while the diameter of the case, 8 cm and more, so that even bowel if the internal thread of the union nut still with the external thread of the main housing section can connect, only then a fixed, the wind loads occurring and the like. Resistant fastening 2. You achieve 1st if " the nut is sucked in very tight. This is but especially not feasible with damp and clammy hands, but at best with a pair of pliers that but not often enough on such occasions Available. If such a pair of pliers is available, the thread is often overstressed, as the union nut is tightened particularly tightly in order to absorb the stresses that occur su can

Another disadvantage of the known ship's light is <3aj: in _f that the cable only extends downwards from the

is to lead out final housing section, so with a mast attachment of a ship's light only through the mast, although numerous needs, there are cases in which there is a lateral discharge it is asked for.

There is also the fact that the known ship's light there is no strain relief with regard to the cable connection, so that it is there in particular at. Tensile stresses often to breaks, short circuits, etc. comes.

Another disadvantage of the well-known ship light lies in the fact that the main walking distance is only proportionate difficult to connect with the connection housing section, and that the connection housing section in particular with pre-drilled holes only then without difficulties with the mast ο .dgl. let connect when the pre-drilled Viennese are yours Hole pattern of the connection flange on the connection "Ge" housing section of the well-known ship light largely exactly match.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention based on the known ship lights of the type described above, avoiding their disadvantages to improve so that the simplest and most robust possible, fixed, but detachable connection between your connector housing section on the one hand and the main housing section having the light source on the other hand possible without using a tool for this purpose, and without <3a & there is a risk that the Connection or when loosening overstressing occur

can. It should still be possible, <. - ■ .. ■ the cable, either downwards or alternatively

also to the side from the connection housing section lead out, whereby the cable should be relieved of tension, and finally, among other advantages should also be ensured by suitable guide means / that the main housing section is with 4äem connection housing section in the simplest way and Way can be positively connected, even if this has already been done many times has been.

As a solution to this problem is provided according to the invention, that the main housing section with the connection housing section To be connected by means of a releasable snap lock.

In particular for a ship's light with an im essential cylindrical housing, the invention preferably provides that the connection housing abschmtt its circumferential surface - with a cylindrical extension formation, therefore, on its shell - at least one limited in the radial direction against a restoring force has movable tongue with a radially over the circumferential surface protruding projection, which is mounted in the State engages in a correspondingly adapted recess of the Baupt-Gehäüseabs.chjiittes, with respect to the Tongue is preferably provided that dieöc is integral with the connection housing section is formed and constructed as a - -elastic bung.

- ■■ The control can preferably be used with an integral handle

be provided, by means of which they from the outside so far

is to be deformed elastically radially inwards, that their projection with the recess of the main GehHuseabsehnittes disengaged. The handle is preferably more than protruding radially outward is an integral part of the tongue and can be attached to the free lower end section of the tongue be arranged, this embodiment has proven to be particularly useful because on the one hand allows good handling., and because on the other hand it is ensured that you do not accidentally through. Rear hook under the handle to loosen the Main housing section from the connection housing section can come.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the projection is essentially triangular and has an essentially horizontal underside _f which, in the assembled state, rests as a latching surface in the correspondingly matched, assigned recess of the main housing section

Further preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in the subclaims.

The invention is based on an exemplary embodiment below further explained with reference to a drawing.

Housing section 3, - provided with a not shown in the drawing, the electric power source is to be connected, and accordingly, has a likewise not shown in the drawing first plug contact half, te in the manner of a plug-in contact with a second Steckkontajkthälf 4 au (s, Fig. S) connect is. The connection housing section 3 has. its outer surface 6 has two diametrically opposed elastic tongues 7 which are movable to a limited extent in the radial direction and which each have a protrusion 8 protruding radially above the primary surface, which in the assembled state in a correspondingly adapted recess 9 <s. Fig, I) of the main housing section 2 engages. It can be seen that the tongues 7 are integrally connected to the connection housing section 3.

The 2ungen 7 each have a handle 11, by means of which they can be elastically deformed radially inwards so far from the outside - that their projection. 8 is to be brought out of engagement with the relevant recess 9 of the main housing section 2, wherein the handles 11 are each formed as an integral part of the tongue 7 protruding radially outward are.

The handles 11 are each located at the bottom free end portion of the respective tongue 7, since this enables particularly good handling to be achieved and at the same time it is ensured that by hacking no unintentional loosening can take place because .sich the handle 11 · directly above the relevant. Part of the ship.

<l

In particular from Pig. It can be seen that the projections 8 are triangular in shape in a radial cross-section and each have a horizontal underside 12 which, in the assembled state, serves as a latching surface in the relevant recess 9 . In particular from FIGS. 2 and 5 it can be seen that the jacket 6 of the connection housing 3 is in each case in the region of the tongues. 7 is formed offset radially inward. This not only offers the advantage of an integral production of the tongues 7 with the other sections of the connection housing section 3, but in this way a stop is also created which limits radial movement of the tongues 7 when the handle 11 is radially acted upon so that the tongues 7 cannot break off due to excessive stress.

As can be seen from FIG. 5, on the underside or on the bottom 13 of the connection housing section 3 several elongated holes 14 arranged distributed so that in this way, even if the mast or the like is not excessively precise drilling. without any difficulty an assembly of the ship's light 1 can be carried out-

It can be seen that the diameter d of the connection housing section 3 is essentially as large as the diameter D of the main housing section 2. This results in a considerably greater dimensional stability in the assembled state than would be the case if the diameter of the AnsehluB housing section 3 would be only a fraction of the diameter D _{v of} the main housing section 2.

mm Q ~~

From Fig. 1 (lower part), 3 and 5 it can be seen that the jacket 6 and the bottom 13 of the connection-GehMüseababschnittes 3 in the area of the connection point
of the cable 16 flowing to the voltage source
has a recess 17 so that the cable
16 both essentially radially 2ur side as
also diagonally downwards as well as vertically afterwards
can be guided below.

The connection cable 16 also has its insertion point into the connection housing section 3
a strain relief device, which essentially consists of a conical socket 19 and
one arranged under the socket 19, not visible in the drawing, compressible by the socket 19 around the cable 16. Plastic claw o, the like. consists.

It should also be pointed out that the connection housing section 3 has an axially running guide groove 21 which, in the assembled state, acts in a form-fitting manner with a corresponding projection on the main housing section in the manner of a tongue and groove connection, so that during assembly of the main housing section Housing sections 2 with the connection housing & section 3 "not only provide excellent guidance via the electrical plug connection, but also through the housing sections 2, 3.

It can be seen that the present invention achieves the task and thus the task posed to it
Requirements in Outstanding Wciso solves that
