Ein solcher Lampenhalter eines Scheinwerfers für Fahrzeuge ist aus der DE 34 25
291 A1 bekannt geworden. Der Lampenhalter ist an einem Reflektor des
Scheinwerfers angeordnet und weist einen aus Kunststoff hergestellten
Fassungsring auf, welcher mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses in einer Öffnung des
Reflektors festgesetzt ist. Bei anderen bekannten Scheinwerfern für Fahrzeuge ist
der Fassungsring einstückig mit dem Reflektor ausgeführt. In die zentrale Öffnung
des Fassungsringes ist eine Lampe mit ihrem Glaskolben voraus eingesetzt und
liegt an einer entgegen der Einsetzrichtung gerichteten Fixierungsfläche des
Fassungsringes an. Ein auf den Fassungsring aufgesetzter Haltering ist mittels
eines Drehverschlusses an dem Fassungsring festgesetzt und liegt mit angeformten
federnden Elementen unter Vorspannung an dem Sockel an und drückt den Sockel
in Richtung der Einsetzrichtung der Lampe gegen den Fassungsring. Damit die
Lampe auch radial zu ihrer Einsetzrichtung genau zum Fassungsring und somit zum
Reflektor fixiert ist, müßte die Lampe wie bei dem aus der DE 28 53 227 A1
bekannten Lampenhalter radial gegen eine Fixierungsfläche des Fassungsringes
gedrückt werden. Als federndes Element dient ein an dem Reflektor befestigtes
separates Federelement.Such a lamp holder of a headlight for vehicles is from DE 34 25
291 A1 became known. The lamp holder is on a reflector of the
Headlamp arranged and has a made of plastic
Socket ring, which by means of a bayonet lock in an opening of the
Reflector is fixed. In other known headlights for vehicles
