Definitions

  • the invention relates to a light source, in particular a glow lamp for plugging into a socket, in particular for use in electrical installation devices, such as electrical switches, buttons, dimmers and the like, with a hollow body, preferably made of glass, with electrodes arranged therein, the connecting wires of which Underside of the hollow glass body are isolated from each other and serve as connection contacts for mating contacts located in the socket and with a series resistor, which is interposed between the glow lamp and an electrical supply network.
  • a light source in particular a glow lamp for plugging into a socket, in particular for use in electrical installation devices, such as electrical switches, buttons, dimmers and the like
  • a hollow body preferably made of glass, with electrodes arranged therein, the connecting wires of which Underside of the hollow glass body are isolated from each other and serve as connection contacts for mating contacts located in the socket and with a series resistor, which is interposed between the glow lamp and an electrical supply network.
  • the light sources are usually used in a socketed form.
  • the light sources provided with a hollow body which surrounds the light source can have a base molded thereon which is inserted into the respective device, or an additional plug-in base is required in which the light sources are used.
  • the connecting wires led out of the hollow body are bent at their ends and serve as connecting contacts which ensure the current connection when inserted into the socket with the mating contacts located there.
  • the cabbage body formed from glass is provided on its underside with a protective cap which receives its underside and the series resistor connected to it. Furthermore, the other connecting wire led out of the hollow glass body and the free end of the series resistor, both of which serve as connecting contacts, are also isolated from one another through the protective cap, where they are bent back in the same way, thereby forming the desired contact surface on the one hand and on the other hand, prevent the protective cap from sliding off the hollow body.
  • the series resistor is cylindrical, with connecting wires each connecting to the end faces.
  • Such a series resistor is known as a commercially available carbon film or metal film resistor.
  • the protective cap is made of insulating material, advantageously of injection-molded thermoplastic and is adapted with its end facing away from the hollow body to the geometry of the plug-in base and is designed to be insertable therein.
  • each light source is used only with the required series resistor, so that malfunctions or interruptions in operation are practically excluded. Furthermore, due to the configuration according to the invention, a space-saving design is achieved, so that the inventive Light source can also be used in devices with limited space.
  • the invention offers the advantage that a cost-effective replacement in the event of defects in lamps or in the event of a change in the illuminance of the respective lamp is possible, since only the lamp body but not the base is to be replaced.
  • FIG. 1 shows an electrical light source 10, which here is designed in particular as a glow lamp, which consists of the actual light or lamp part 12 and an associated base 14.
  • the base 14 is inserted into an electrical device 16 shown only schematically in longitudinal section here.
  • the electrical connection of the base 14 to the electrical device 16 is established with the aid of contact tabs 18 which protrude from the base and which cooperate with electrical conductors which are not shown here in the electrical device 16. Further details of the base 14 are shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.
  • the light source 12 shown in FIG. 1 is shown in side view in FIG. It consists of a hollow body 20 made of glass, on the underside 22 of which a protective cap 24 made of injection-molded thermoplastic is attached. Furthermore, on the underside 22 of the light source 20, lead wires 25, 26 are led out insulated from one another. While the first connecting wire 25 is passed through the protective cap 24 and is likewise led outward again at the lower end of the protective cap 24 and forms a connecting contact 27 there, the second connecting wire 26 with an electrical resistor 30 is led out from the underside 22 of the light source 20 connected, the free end 29 led out of the protective cap 24 to form a terminal contact 28 on the diametrically opposite side of the terminal contact 27.
  • the light source 10 which is inserted into an electrical device 16 according to FIG. 1, is shown in longitudinal section in a single representation, with the use of lights or lamps and the attached protective cap 24 only the contours are shown.
  • the plug-in base 14 consists of a tube-like upper part 34 which connects centrally to a lower part 36 which is approximately square in cross section.
  • the upper part 34 is provided at a certain height, which is adapted to the installation conditions of the relevant electrical device 16, in which the light source is to be installed, with latching lugs 35, which ensure that the recess provided in the electrical device 16 is provided for this purpose imported base 14 can not return.
  • the contacts on the base 14, i. H. the contact tabs 18 protruding from the lower part 36 of the base 14 are arranged in a resilient manner, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 6.
  • the contact lugs 18 are connected via flat conductors to counter contacts 19 in the interior of the upper part 34 of the base 14. These counter contacts 19 are used to make contact with the connection contacts 27, 28 of the lighting or lamp unit 12 designed as a plug insert.
  • each mating contact 19 has a preferred contact point, so as to connect with the contacts 27, 28 of the light or lamp unit 12.
  • the cause of the resilient yielding is shown in FIG. 6 shown below.
  • the preferably spring-hard contact material, for. B. spring bronze, formed contact lugs 18 are in the rest position shown in Figures 4 and 5 on the upper inner surface of the lower part 36, where it acts on a molded on the lower inner surface of the lower part 36 cam 37. If the plug insert 14, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, is inserted into an electrical device 16, the contact lugs 18 come into operative connection with the connection contacts of the electrical device 16 provided for this purpose, which are not shown here, and are repositioned on the end face due to the geometric conditions applied below so that they bend downward, as shown in Figure 6. With the help of this spring action, a high degree of contact reliability is achieved, so that only a low contact resistance results.
  • the socket 14 is also made as an injection molded part made of thermoplastic and consists of the above-mentioned upper part 34 and the lower part 36.
  • the lower part 36 is also made in two parts and consists of a cover part 38 to which the upper part 34 connects, a trough-like receiving part 39, which the cover part 38 together with the electrical conductors 18, 19 arranged therein.
  • the cover part 38 is captively connected to the receiving part 39 by means of a film hinge, not shown here. In this way the risk of one of the two parts being lost is reduced.
