  • the festoon lamp is between the two holding elements used and is held with their bases on the holding elements.
  • the festoon lamp is carried by two elements: the Holding element and the contact element.
  • the cover element is only on the Festoon lamp held indirectly on the vehicle part.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a lamp that is simple and thus is inexpensive to manufacture, which is easy to assemble without the mechanical or electrical connection quality suffers.
  • the vehicle body part with one for the invention Vehicle light provided recess understood. Are in this recess appropriate contact / holding devices for mechanical and electrical Connection of the lamp to the vehicle, but this is not a limitation of the invention on recessed lights means.
  • a vehicle lamp which has a cover plate on which the festoon lamp is held.
  • the cover plate Holding elements that serve to hold a festoon lamp.
  • the holding elements consist of elastic, conductive material and are shaped such that they are next to the Inclusion of the festoon lamp at the same time as the carrier elements with a cover plate Connect the vehicle part mechanically and use the tubular lamp as a contact element Connect the power source in the vehicle electrically.
  • the Holding elements each have a cover plate holder arm for mechanically connecting the Cover plate with a vehicle part and a lamp holder arm for holding the Festoon lamp on the cover plate, so that the festoon lamp is connected to a power source in the holding elements Vehicle is electrically connectable.
  • the holding elements are essentially plate-shaped and each have at least one resilient, curved section, which when inserted into a complementary counterpart on the vehicle part creates a frictional connection, causing the cover plate to fall out during assembly before screwing on the Cover plate on the vehicle part is prevented.
  • The is preferably located curved section at the end of the holding element.
  • the holding member has a lower portion near its Base on the cover plate and an upper, spaced from the cover plate Section, the sections being mutually curved.
  • the advantage of this Embodiment of the vehicle lamp according to the invention is an automatic holder and centering of the lamp when installed in the vehicle part, since the invention Press the shaped holding elements outwards during installation and the cover plate Center with the festoon lamp in the target position.
  • the end section be wavy, d. H. several instead of just two mutually curved ones Have sections.
  • the holding elements are each bent such that they are U-shaped in cross section are, with the opening in the direction of insertion of the cover plate on the vehicle part pointing.
  • the U has its base on the cover plate.
  • a first one The leg of the U, the lamp holder arm, is intended to hold the festoon lamp, and a second leg of the U, the cover plate holder arm, is for holding the Cover plate with festoon lamp provided in the vehicle part.
  • the lamp holder arm has a hole into which the tip of the conical tubular base slides, so that the festoon lamp is automatically centered in a stable position.
  • the lamp holder arm can be inserted from the Receiving opening for holding the lamp towards one of its edges is a fork-shaped one Have mouth, so that the soffit lamp through this mouth into the receiving opening can be pushed in.
  • the cover plate holder arm is then like one of the above Embodiments bent so that with a corresponding complementary Vehicle part creates a frictional connection.
  • another embodiment only a simple plate-shaped sheet of metal that acts as a smooth surface with no bend in it Center has a hole for the reception of the festoon lamp and beyond continues and is shaped at its end so that there is a mechanical and electrical Connection with a vehicle part results when the cover plate on or in the Vehicle part is inserted.
  • the vehicle lamp according to the invention can have a holding element, the End section is sawtooth-shaped and in a correspondingly shaped Counterpart can be snapped into a vehicle part.
  • the Taper end portion of a leg of the holding element In all embodiments of the vehicle lamp according to the invention, the Taper end portion of a leg of the holding element.
  • the vehicle lamp according to the invention is shown schematically from above.
  • 1 denotes the cover plate behind which the festoon lamp is located and which Protects the festoon lamp from external influences.
  • This cover plate is i. a. on Injection molded plastic that is transparent.
  • the cover plate can be flat or one have a structured surface so that they are e.g. B. represents an optical Fresnel element.
  • edge areas of the Cover plate 1 can be made opaque. This can be done by coloring the plastic take place or by applying a template made of rubber or similar. This template can also serve as a seal for the lamp.
  • the edge areas are in the figure hatched. In the edge areas there are (not shown) Feedthroughs for fastening screws with which the light is finally attached to the vehicle attached and secured.
  • the festoon lamp 2 behind the cover plate 1 has two connection ends, which consist of one Base 3 and a conical base end 4 exist.
  • the central axis of the lamp is shown in dashed lines.
  • the tubular lamp 2 is at its two base ends 4 of each held a holding element 5.
  • the vehicle lamp includes Holding element 5 a lamp holder arm 6, which holds the lamp 2, and one Cover plate holder arm, the structure and function of which will be explained later.
  • the Holding elements 5, d. H. the lamp holder arms 6 and the cover plate holder arms 7 exist z. B. from spring plate, it was found that a thickness of 0.5 mm manufacturing technology and application-related is very suitable.
  • the two holding elements 5 each have a centered opening near their end portion.
  • the two Openings of the two holding elements 5 serve the conical base ends of the Take the festoon lamp 2 so that it is securely held and centered.
  • These two Base ends together form a fork-shaped holder with resilient legs, between which the festoon lamp 2 can be inserted with its two bases.
  • the holding elements 5 bent a little to each other to the center of the Soffit lamp 2 exert directed force. This will center the soffit lamp 2 additionally supported.
  • the opening in the holding elements 5 can Recording of the conical base ends 4 of the festoon lamp to an edge of the spring plate be open and a mouth that widens from the opening to the edge of the sheet have, whereby the insertion of the tubular lamp 2 in the holding elements 5 essential is simplified.
  • the task of the cover plate holder arm 7 is to make electrical contact with one Establish contact / holding device in the vehicle part.
  • the cover plate bracket arm 7 is due to the contact / holding device through the training described above under one Spring preload on. This enables a safe electrical contact.
  • the vehicle lamp is temporarily replaced by the vehicle until it is finally attached Cover plate holder arms 7 held on the vehicle part.
  • the cover plate bracket arms 7 could also have locking edges, so that an attachment of the vehicle lamp is possible with the cover plate holder arms.
  • the holding elements 5 are anchored in the cover plate 1.
  • the holding elements 5 in a (not shown) narrow slot inserted in which they are firmly locked due to friction.
  • the holding element 5 bent in such a way that the lamp holder arm 6 at the foot 10 of the holding element 5 in the cover plate 1 passes into the cover plate holder arm 7.
  • the Cover plate holder arm 7 extends essentially from the cover plate parallel to the lamp holder arm 6 upwards, so that there is a U-shaped cross section Holding element 5 with the two legs 6 and 7 results.
  • the foot 10 or reversal point of the Holding element 5 takes up only a small area as shown in Fig. 2 and does not interfere noteworthy the light emission from the lamp. 2 are the edge areas shown that are opaque.
  • Fig. 1 is the shape of the cover plate holder arms 7 with different radii of curvature shown.
  • the cover plate holder arm 7 includes a lower straight portion. it follows a first section 8, which is curved so that it differs from the Office lamp 2 removed. The center of curvature is therefore in relation to the Cover plate holder arm 7 on the side opposite the tubular lamp 2.
  • To the first section 8 is followed by a second section 9, which is in the opposite sense is curved, d. H. the center of curvature in this section lies on the side of the Soffit lamp 2.
  • Fig. 3 the lamp arrangement of Fig. 1 is shown from the side.
