  • the inner wall exercises by turning the ring-shaped disc the disc on the at least two tabs one more or less strong pressure, so that these tabs, depending on the position of the disc, more or bent less in the direction of the ring axis. Therefore the locking connection between those connected to the at least two tabs Lugs and the lamp holder according to the angle of rotation the annular disc either loosened or manufactured.
  • the invention In this way, the construction enables simple assembly of the Lamp in the lamp holder.
  • the annular disk advantageously has a plurality of parallel to the Circular disk-shaped slots arranged on the circumference of the washer, in each engages a guide bar molded onto the base.
  • the boardwalks and the slots define stops for the rotational movement of the annular ones Disc and improve the anchoring of the disc in the base.
  • the detents each have a parallel to the plane of the washer, bottom arranged in a common plane.
  • the base advantageously has at least three spread-apart spring elements on, which are designed as counter bearings to the locking lugs.
  • the base of the invention electric lamp advantageously a recess for receiving a pin-like socket part or plug part.
  • the lamp according to the invention is also suitable for mounting on a Plug trained lamp holder.
  • the electrical socket contacts are advantageously designed as contact lugs, the contact lugs particularly advantageously have one end spread apart from the base and also partially limit the recess for receiving the plug. Due to the aforementioned features of the base contacts for the different Mounting options of the lamp according to the invention an optimal electrical connection between the base contacts and the socket contacts guaranteed.
  • FIG. 1 shows an electric lamp in accordance with the preferred embodiment mapped the invention.
  • This lamp has a glass one Lamp bulb 1 with a gas-tight end 1a, from which protrude two power leads 4 that are electrically conductive with one inside of the lamp bulb 1 arranged filament 2 are connected.
  • the sealed end 1a of the lamp bulb 1 is made of plastic existing base 3 fixed.
  • the base 3 has on the lamp bulb 1 facing upper part a fit recess 3a, in which the End 1a of the lamp bulb 1 is positively fixed.
  • the base 3 has a recess 3b for receiving a tap-type Socket or plug part. Is on both sides of the recess 3b a chamber 3c arranged, each for receiving a plug contact serves.
  • each of the chambers 3c there is a contact lug electrical socket contact arranged.
  • the contact flags each form one Outside wall of a chamber 3c and thereby make the electrical contact between the plug contacts arranged in the chambers 3c (not shown) and the power supply lines 4 ago.
  • the two contact flags each have an end 5a spread apart from the base 3.
  • the other end the contact lugs is in the interior of the base with one of the power leads 4 welded.
  • the spread ends 5a of the contact lugs provide the electrical connection when the lamp is mounted on a printed circuit board to the conductor tracks.
  • the lower part of the base 3 is with an annular, rotatably mounted Provide disc 6.
  • the ring-shaped Washer 6, which is referred to below as the mounting ring 6, is rotatably mounted about a ring axis arranged perpendicular to the disk plane.
  • the ring axis coincides with the lamp axis.
  • the mounting ring 5 has an outer wall 6a facing away from the ring axis and one the inner wall facing the ring axis 6b.
  • the inner wall 6b has wall areas 6ba, 6bb at different distances from the ring axis.
  • the mounting ring 6 has three circular segment segments arranged parallel to its circumference Slots 6c equipped, each in the bottom of the base 3 molded guide web 7 engages.
  • On the base 3 are also two mutually opposite, resiliently designed tabs 8 integrally formed, the outer sides with clamping action on the inner wall 6b of the mounting ring 6.
  • the outside of the two tabs 8 are each provided with a molded locking lug 8a.
  • the bottom edges the locking lugs 8a lie in a common plane which is parallel to the plane of the mounting ring 6 extends.
  • the base 3 is also spread with four Equipped spring elements 10, the assembly of a printed circuit board serve the lamp as a counter bearing to the locking lugs 8a.
  • a brake light or turn signal lamp for one Motor vehicle is a brake light or turn signal lamp for one Motor vehicle.
  • This lamp can be assembled in several different ways are and can therefore be used universally in motor vehicles. It can both as a flashing light bulb in a headlight of the motor vehicle as also as a flashing light or brake light lamp in a rear light of the motor vehicle to be assembled. There are three different mounting options explained briefly below.
  • the lamp For mounting on a printed circuit board in a one equipped with a reflector Lamp (e.g. in a motor vehicle rear light), the lamp is inserted into it the lamp pre-assembled in the reflector.
  • the latches snap into place 8a in the light reflector.
  • the lower edges of the locking lugs 8a serve as Reference plane for the adjustment of the lamp in the reflector.
  • the circuit board is after assembly between the lower edges of the two locking lugs 8a and the four spread spring elements 10 are arranged.
  • the spread Ends 5a of the two contact lugs make electrical contact with the Conductor tracks on the circuit board.
  • the Fastening ring 6 rotated so far that the locking connection of the locking lugs 8a in the reflector releases.
  • the lamp For mounting the lamp on a plug in the rear reflector opening of a motor vehicle headlight, the lamp is first in the rear reflector opening locked by means of the locking lugs 8a.
