Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lamp holder, in particular for fluorescent lamps with a two-pin base.
  • Rod-shaped fluorescent lamps are usually on to contact both ends, for which purpose appropriate versions serve. Two such sockets are mounted at a distance, and take a fluorescent lamp between them on. Fluorescent lamps have also manufacturing tolerances in length, so that even relatively short lamps for Can come into play. To make perfect contact to achieve this, length compensation means are required. In addition there are well-known versions that cross one another to fix the fluorescent lamp extending support wall are provided on the back with a leaf spring that resiliently clamps the lamp holder away from the carrier.
  • Such lamp holders known from practice have a socket housing made of insulating material, an insertion slot on the side facing the lamp for the contact pins of the lamp base.
  • On the opposite back of the socket housing are designed locking pins that are 3mm to 4mm long and wear a barb at the end.
  • the locking pins are arranged on an imaginary line extends across the insertion slot.
  • At the back the socket housing are also two-legged Leaf spring arranged approximately in the middle on a short Centering pin sits. Each leg is with a hole or breakthrough, through which the respectively assigned Latch pin extends.
  • the locking pin keeps up its barb or locking hook captive the leaf spring,
  • the locking pin When mounting the socket housing on a support, the locking pin engages behind the carrier, whereby the leaf spring to the face side of the support creates, and. the frame thus resiliently.
  • the socket housing there are electrical contacts for the socket pins of the fluorescent lamp arranged.
  • electrical contacts for connection serve electrical lines to the contacts Plug-in contact means arranged in the socket housing and are kept.
  • Corresponding insertion openings are between the front and back of the frame Bottom arranged. The direction of insertion is parallel to the direction of the insertion slot.
  • insulation displacement contacts for connecting electrical cables other leaders known.
  • An insulation displacement contact will formed by a metal strip that has a narrow Has slot for indenting a conductor.
  • the Metal strip is held in an insulating housing.
  • the metal strip of the insulation displacement contact is around ensure the required electrical safety, to be arranged in the insulating housing so that it is suitable for a corresponding test finger is inaccessible. This requires correspondingly large insulating sections the insulating housing. It is also desirable that the insulation displacement contacts in automatic contacting with, for example, an automatic wiring system are easily accessible.
  • the lamp holder should be as possible be designed to save space so as not to run out of space again losing out by downsizing the fluorescent lights has been worked out.
  • From DE-A-2214925 is a lamp holder with a one-part or multi-part socket housing known, the electrical Contact means for contacting electrical contact pins a fluorescent lamp.
  • the socket housing has an insertion slot for inserting the contact pins into the socket housing.
  • To make a connection between the socket housing and the carrier are on the Socket housing openings formed by fastening screws are reached.

But it is essential that there is space for the arrangement of insulation displacement contacts is created, which operates from the rear when making contact become. After mounting the socket housing on the carrier are the insertion grooves of the insulation displacement contacts that are open on the rear covered, and therefore inaccessible.
  • the Leaf spring extends approximately parallel to the insertion grooves the insulation displacement contacts, and thus holds one sufficient safety distance from live Share one. Due to the arrangement of the insulation displacement contacts on the back of the socket housing on both sides of the spiral spring element becomes a very compact and space-saving Received lamp holder. The version builds through the lateral arrangement of the insulation displacement contacts low and thus enables a revealing luminaire construction. By arranging the spiral spring element in parallel to the insertion slot, the insulation displacement contacts move very close to the middle of the socket housing, which also makes the frame slim.
  • the leaf spring supports the lamp holder against rotation different about different transverse axes stiff.
  • the insertion slot becomes, for example, a lateral bending load avoided by contact pins of the lamp holder.
  • the spiral spring element rests on a line on the beam that is parallel to a straight line that goes through both Contact pin of the fluorescent lamp base goes.
  • the conditions can by defining the width of the contact patch the leaf spring or by means provided in this area Knobs can be adjusted as desired.
  • two locking pins can be used For example, are molded onto the socket housing.
  • This Locking pins are on the back of the socket housing provided and arranged on a line that is rectangular runs to the spiral spring element. With that they are Locking pin arranged laterally next to the spiral spring element and can be relatively close. The distance between the locking pin or other fasteners be determined independently of the spiral spring element. In the prior art, the locking pin had additional the function of holding the spiral spring element, and were therefore fixed in their position.
