Abstract

The base (1) has a substantially square body (11) formed in one piece with the threaded part (2) and having parallel opposite walls (12, 13) in which grooves (e.g. 15) extend in the axial direction from the centre of the top edge as far as a stop (17). The foot (3) of the tubular lamp is correspondingly shaped with tabs (e.g. 32) on two opposite edges ending in lugs (345) which are held against the stops when a security sleeve is pushed over the lamp on to the base.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft gemäss dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 eine Stromsparlampe, die einen Anschlussockel mit eingebauter Elektronik und damit verbundenem, auf einen Lampenfuss montierten Lampenkörper mit einer oder mit mehreren Entladungslampen, umfasst. Der Begriff Anschlussockel umfasst sowohl Schraubsockel mit Edison-Gewinde als auch solche mit Miniaturgewinde oder mit Bajonettverschluss.According to the preamble of independent claim 1, the present invention relates to a power-saving lamp which comprises a connection base with built-in electronics and a lamp body with one or more discharge lamps which is connected to it and is mounted on a lamp base. The term connection base includes both screw bases with Edison threads as well as those with miniature threads or with bayonet locks.

Stromsparlampen sind im allgemeinen in der Weise gebaut, dass sie durch einen Benützer in gleicher Weise gehandhabt werden kann, wie die allerorts gut bekannten Glühlampen mit einem Edison-Gewinde. Dazu wird bei der Herstellung die Entladungslampe auf einen Anschlussockel aufgebaut, der mit dem Edison-Gewinde versehen ist. Der Sockel enthält dann die elektronischen Bestandteile, wie Gleichrichter, Filterstufe, Anschwingschaltung und Hochfrequenzgenerator. Solche Schaltungen sind bekannt, so beschreibt beispielsweise die DE-A-3611611 eine Schaltungsanordnung zum hochfrequenten Betrieb einer Niederdruckentladungslampe bei welcher Schaltungsanordnung eine solche Anordnung dargelegt ist.Energy-saving lamps are generally constructed in such a way that they can be handled by a user in the same way as the well-known light bulbs with an Edison thread. For this purpose, the discharge lamp is mounted on a connection base which is provided with the Edison thread during manufacture. The base then contains the electronic components, such as rectifier, filter stage, starting circuit and high-frequency generator. Such circuits are known, for example DE-A-3611611 describes a circuit arrangement for the high-frequency operation of a low-pressure discharge lamp, in which circuit arrangement such an arrangement is set out.

Es dürfte nun jedem Fachmann selbstverständlich erscheinen, dass, auch wenn eine solche Entladungslampe bei Normalbetrieb bis 8000 Stunden Brenndauer haben kann, die elektronische Schaltungsanordnung doch ein mehrfaches dieser Betriebsdauer auszuhalten vermag. Mit anderen Worten, in der heutigen Zeit, in der immer stärker auf das Recycling geachtet wird, sollten keine funktionstüchtigen Bestandteile weggeworfen werden müssen.It should now seem self-evident to any person skilled in the art that even if such a discharge lamp can have a burning time of up to 8000 hours in normal operation, the electronic circuit arrangement can withstand a multiple of this operating time. In other words, in today's time when recycling is becoming more and more important, no functional components should be thrown away.

Dementsprechend ist es eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Stromsparlampe zu schaffen, bei der der elektronische Teil mehrfach verwendbar ist.Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a power-saving lamp in which the electronic part can be used multiple times.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies gemäss den Merkmalen im kennzeichnenden Teil des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 dadurch erreicht, dass der Schraubsockel mit einem, mit dem Schraubteil einstückig verbundenen prismatischen Körper mit zwei sich gegenüberbefindlichen parallelen Wänden ausgebildet ist, dass in den genannten parallelen Wänden je eine von der, dem Schraubteil gegenüberliegenden Oberseite in achsparalleler Richtung gegen das Schraubteil gerichtete Nut mit einer Endrast wenigstens auf einer Partie der gesamten Höhe des Körpers angeordnet ist, dass ferner der Lampenfuss in gleicher Weise wie der Körper umrissgleich prismatisch ausgebildet ist, dass er mit zwei achsparallelen mit den Nuten deckungsgleichen Laschen mit Rastnase versehen ist, und dass eine Schiebehülse vorhanden ist, die einen mit dem Umriss des Körpers und dem Lampenfuss deckungsgleichen Hohlraum aufweist und über Körper und Lampenfuss geschoben, die Laschen mit den Rastnasen in der Nut und der Endrast festhält.According to the invention, this is achieved according to the features in the characterizing part of independent claim 1 in that the screw base is formed with a prismatic body integrally connected to the screw part with two parallel walls located opposite each other, that in each of the parallel walls mentioned one of which Screw part opposite top in the axis-parallel direction directed against the screw part groove with an end stop is arranged at least on a part of the entire height of the body, that the lamp base is prismatic in the same way as the body is contoured, that it is congruent with the grooves with two axially parallel Tabs is provided with a locking lug, and that a sliding sleeve is present, which has a congruent cavity with the outline of the body and the lamp base and pushed over the body and lamp base, the tabs with the locking lugs in the groove and the final stop lt.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nachfolgend an Hand der Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig.2
eine gleiche perspektivische Ansicht wie Fig.1 mit in den Lampensockel eingesteckter Entladungslampe,
Fig.3
dieselbe perspektivische Darstellung wie in Fig.2 mit einer Hülse zur mechanisch starren Verbindung von Lampensockel und Entladungslampe,

den Lampensockel allein in drei verschiedenen Ansichten,
Fig.5 a-c
die Hülse allein in drei verschiedenen Ansichten, und
Fig.6 a-c
die Entladungslampe allein in drei verschiedenen Ansichten
Die Entladungslampe ist in bekannter Weise auf einen Lampensockel 3 aufgebaut. Sie besteht in üblicher Ausbildung aus einem einfachen oder einem doppelten Glaskörper, je nachdem, ob es sich um eine 5, 7, 11 oder 20 Watt Lampe handelt. Der Sockel 3 weist, wie aus Fig.1, 6b und 6c ersichtlich ist achsparallele nach unten ragende Laschen 31,32 mit Rastnasen 33,34 auf. Diese Laschen sind mit der Aussenwand des Sockels 2 fluchtend ausgebildet und die Rastnasen 33,34 sind gegeneinander gerichtet.Embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1
1 shows a perspective view of a lamp base and, at a distance therefrom, a discharge lamp,
Fig. 2
1 shows the same perspective view as FIG. 1 with the discharge lamp inserted into the lamp base,
Fig. 3

Fig. 4 ac
the lamp base alone in three different views,
Fig. 5 ac
the sleeve alone in three different views, and
Fig. 6 ac
the discharge lamp alone in three different views
The discharge lamp is constructed in a known manner on a lamp base 3. In conventional training, it consists of a single or a double glass body, depending on whether it is a 5, 7, 11 or 20 watt lamp. The base 3 has, as can be seen from FIGS. 1, 6b and 6c, axially parallel downwardly projecting tabs 31, 32 with detents 33, 34. These tabs are aligned with the outer wall of the base 2 and the locking lugs 33, 34 are directed towards one another.

Das Gegenstück, die Nuten 15, 16 mit Endrasten 17, 18 befinden sich im Schraubsockel 1, und zwar im Sockelteil 11. Sie sind auf zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Wänden dieses Sockelteils 11 angeordnet und laufen achsparallel zur Hauptachse der Anordnung. Es dürfte nun einleuchtend sein, dass auf diese Art der Lampensockel 3 zusammen mit der Entladungslampe auswechselbar gestaltet werden kann.The counterpart, the grooves 15, 16 with end catches 17, 18 are located in the screw base 1, specifically in the base part 11. They are arranged on two opposite walls of this base part 11 and run axially parallel to the main axis of the arrangement. It should now be obvious that in this way the lamp base 3 can be designed to be exchangeable together with the discharge lamp.

Es ist natürlich selbstverständlich, dass der Lampensockel mit Steckerstiften 35 und der Schraubsockel 1 mit entsprechenden Buchsen 18 versehen sein muss. Damit der Lampenteil vom Sockelteil trennbar ist. Es besteht nun die Möglichkeit, in der Elektronik für jede heute gebräuchliche Leistung der Lampen eine Anzapfung zu machen, so dass mit z.B. vier Buchsen 19 die jeweils richtige Leistungsanpassung gewählt werden kann. Der Lampenhersteller braucht dann lediglich den jeweiligen Stift am Lampensockel richtig zu plazieren, um so sicherzustellen, dass die Entladungslampe richtig gespeist wird.It goes without saying that the lamp base must be provided with plug pins 35 and the screw base 1 with corresponding sockets 18. So that the lamp part can be separated from the base part. It is now possible to tap into the electronics for every lamp output currently in use, so that e.g. four sockets 19, the correct power adjustment can be selected in each case. The lamp manufacturer then only needs to place the respective pin correctly on the lamp base in order to ensure that the discharge lamp is fed correctly.

Der Benützer kann somit jede beliebige Lampe einstecken, so, dass er wenn zuerst eine zu schwache Lichtleistung vorgesehen war, problemlos eine Entladungslampe mit stärkerer Lichtleistung in denselben Sockel einstecken kann.The user can thus plug in any lamp, so that if a too low light output was initially provided, he can easily insert a discharge lamp with a higher light output into the same base.

Es ist nun lediglich noch dafür zu sorgen, dass Schraubsockel 1 und Lampensockel 3 mechanisch stabil zusammengefügt sind, so dass nicht versehentlich die Lampe durch einfaches Ziehen vom Schraubsockel getrennt werden kann.It is now only necessary to ensure that screw base 1 and lamp base 3 are joined together in a mechanically stable manner, so that the lamp cannot be accidentally separated from the screw base by simply pulling it.

Dazu ist eine Schiebehülse 4 gemäss Fig.5 a-c vorhanden, die über Lampenfuss 3 und Sockel 11 geschoben, dafür sorgt, dass die Laschen 31,32 mit ihren Rastnasen 33,34 des Lampensockels 3 in den Nuten 14,15 mit den Endrasten 16, 17 des prismatischen Körpers 11 eingehängt bleiben. Die beiden Teile, nämlich der prismatische Körper 11 und die Lampe sind damit als einstückig zu betrachten.For this purpose, there is a sliding sleeve 4 according to FIG. 5 ac, which is pushed over lamp base 3 and base 11 and ensures that the tabs 31, 32 with their Lugs 33, 34 of the lamp base 3 remain suspended in the grooves 14, 15 with the end catches 16, 17 of the prismatic body 11. The two parts, namely the prismatic body 11 and the lamp are thus to be considered as one piece.

Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Schiebehülse liegt in ihrer Dekorationsmöglichkeit. So wäre es denkbar, dass sie beispielsweise mit einem Reflektorschirm versehen als gerichteter Scheinwerfer benützt werden kann. Auch liesse sich denken, dass diese Schiebehülse mit einem kugelförmigen Körper versehen, die Entladungslampe vollständig umhüllt und so den technischen Eindruck der durch die Anordnung und die Form der Entladungsröhren verdeckt und damit eine ästhetische Form darstellt.Another advantage of this sliding sleeve is that it can be decorated. It would be conceivable, for example, that it can be used with a reflector screen as a directed headlight. It would also be conceivable that this sliding sleeve is provided with a spherical body, completely envelops the discharge lamp and thus hides the technical impression of the arrangement and shape of the discharge tubes and thus represents an aesthetic form.
