Abstract

The contact has a first part with a sprung contact arm protruding into a lamp holder socket (29) pin opening (30) and a second part for threadless connection of a conductor(s). The second part forms a sprung tongue(s) on the side of the contact arm remote from the clamping point (13). The sprung tongue (28) is next to the clamping point and contact arm (12') so the contact arm lateral surface forms a guide for the conductor to be inserted. Independent claims are also included for the following: a lamp holder.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Lampenfassungskontakt für den Kontaktstift eines Lampensockels mit einem ersten Kontaktteil, der wenigstens einen in eine fassungsseitige Sockelstiftöffnung hinein ragenden, federnd ausgebildeten Kontaktschenkel mit einer Klemmstelle zur kraftschlüssigen Kontaktierung des Sockelkontaktstiftes umfaßt, und mit einem zweiten Kontaktteil zum schraubenlosen Anschluß wenigstens eines Leiters, wobei der zweite Kontaktteil an der der Klemmstelle entfernten Seite des Kontaktschenkels mindestens eine rückgebogene Federzunge als Bestandteil der schraubenlosen Leiteranschlußstelle ausbildet.The invention relates to a lamp socket for the contact pin of a lamp cap having a first contact part, which comprises at least one in a socket-side base pin hole projecting, resiliently formed contact legs with a clamping point for non-positive contacting of the socket contact pin, and with a second contact part for screwless connection at least one Conductor, wherein the second contact part forms on the side remote from the clamping point of the contact leg at least one bent-back spring tongue as part of the screwless conductor connection point.

Ein Lampenfassungskontakt, von dem die Erfindung ausgeht, ist beispielsweise in US 4 596 433 offenbart. Wie die dortigen Fig. 6A bis 6E zeigen, weist der Kontakt eine plattenförmige Basis auf, an deren Längsseiten zwei Laschen hochgebogen sind. Als erster Kontaktteil sind einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktschenkel für einen Kontaktstift eines Lampensockels vorgesehen. Am gegenüberliegenden Ende und neben die Längsmittelachse der Anordnung versetzt ist ein zweiter Kontaktteil vorgesehen mit einer Federzunge für eine schraubenlose Anschlußstelle für einen Leiter. Bezüglich der Zeichnungsebene der Fig. werden der Lampenkontaktstift und der Leiter in der gleichen, zur Papierebene parallelen Ebene, jedoch in dieser zueinander versetzt eingeführt.A lamp socket, from which the invention proceeds, is for example in US 4,596,433 disclosed. As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6E, the contact has a plate-shaped base, on the longitudinal sides of which two straps are bent upwards. As the first contact part opposite contact legs are provided for a contact pin of a lamp cap. At the opposite end and offset next to the longitudinal center axis of the arrangement, a second contact part is provided with a spring tongue for a screwless connection point for a conductor. With respect to the plane of the drawing of Fig. The lamp contact pin and the conductor in the same plane parallel to the paper plane, but introduced in this offset from each other.

Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung ist es, einen Lampenfassungskontakt der als bekannt vorausgesetzten Art in geschickter Weise so auszubilden, dass er bei sicherer Kontaktierung der anzuschließenden Elemente räumlich nur sehr wenig Platz beansprucht.Object of the present invention is to form a lamp socket contact of the presupposed as known type in a clever manner so that it takes up space when secure contact of the elements to be connected only very little space.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 und ist dementsprechend dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Federzunge derart der Klemmstelle benachbart sowie seitlich neben einem Kontaktschenkel angeordnet ist, dass die Seitenfläche des Kontaktschenkels eine Führung für den einzusteckenden Leiter ausbildet.The invention solves this problem with the features of claim 1 and is accordingly characterized in that the spring tongue is arranged adjacent to the clamping point and laterally next to a contact leg, that the side surface of the contact leg forms a guide for the conductor to be inserted.

Das wesentliche Prinzip der Erfindung beruht also im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik darauf, dass die Federzunge für den Anschluß des Leiters wesentlich näher bei der Klemmstelle des wenigstens einen federnd ausgebildeten Kontaktschenkels angeordnet ist. Außerdem ist die Federzunge bezüglich der Klemmstelle seitlich in der Weise versetzt, dass der einzusteckende Leiter die Seitenfläche des Kontaktschenkels zumindest teilweise passieren kann. Dadurch ist die Anordnung so getroffen, dass der Lampenkontaktstift und das abisolierte Leiterende nicht nur sehr dicht beieinander liegen, sondern sich in Axialrichtung einander auch überlappen können. Dies hat einen besonders kompakten Aufbau des Lampenfassungskontaktes in der gemeinsamen Längsrichtung von Sockelkontaktstift und Leiter zur Folge.The essential principle of the invention is therefore in contrast to the prior art in that the spring tongue for the connection of the conductor is arranged substantially closer to the clamping point of the at least one resiliently formed contact leg. In addition, the spring tongue is laterally offset relative to the clamping point in such a way that the einzusteckende conductor can at least partially pass through the side surface of the contact leg. As a result, the arrangement is such that the lamp contact pin and the stripped conductor end are not only very close to each other, but also overlap each other in the axial direction. This results in a particularly compact construction of the lamp socket contact in the common longitudinal direction of base contact pin and conductor.

Um den Leiter nicht nur durch einseitige Anlage am Kontaktschenkel zu führen, sondern ihn auch zur gegenüberliegenden Seite hin im wesentlichen unausweichbar zu halten, ist des weiteren vorgesehen, dass eine der Seitenfläche des Kontaktschenkels gegenüberliegende weitere Führung für den einzusteckenden Leiter von einem Kontaktabschnitt oder einem Wandabschnitt der Kontaktkammer im Fassungsgehäuse gebildet ist.In order to guide the conductor not only by one-sided contact on the contact leg, but also to hold it to the opposite side substantially unavoidable, it is further provided that one of the side surface of the contact leg opposite another guide for the einzusteckenden conductor of a contact portion or a wall portion the contact chamber is formed in the socket housing.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der zweite Kontaktteil zum Anschluß zweier Leiter zwei Federzungen umfaßt, die jeweils seitlich eines Kontaktschenkels angeordnet sind. Dabei können die beiden Federzungen des zweiten Kontaktteils mit geringem Abstand nebeneinander parallel verlaufend angeordnet und aus demselben Kontaktabschnitt ausgeformt sein, aus dem einer der beiden Kontaktschenkel ausgebildet ist.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the second contact part for connecting two conductors comprises two spring tongues, which are each arranged laterally of a contact leg. In this case, the two spring tongues of the second contact part with a small distance next to each other arranged to extend parallel and be formed from the same contact portion, from which one of the two contact legs is formed.

In der Regel ist es üblich, an Kontakten mit schraubenlosen Anschlußklemmen Anschlagbegrenzungen für den einzusteckenden Leiter auszuformen. Dies kann auch beim Anmeldungsgegenstand der Fall sein. Gemäß einer besonders vereinfachten Ausführungsform sieht die Erfindung jedoch vor, diese Einsteckbegrenzung der Lampenfassung zuzuordnen. Demzufolge besteht ein weiteres Merkmal der Erfindung in einer Lampenfassung mit einem Lampenfassungskontakt, wobei zur Einsteckweg-Begrenzung für den einzusteckenden Leiter der Leitereinführkanal im Fassungskörper einen Anschlag für das abgeschnittene Ende der Leiter-Isolierumhüllung ausbildet.In general, it is customary to form stops on contacts with screwless terminals limit stops for the inserted conductor. This may also be the case with the subject of the application. According to a particularly simplified embodiment, however, the invention provides to assign this Einsteckbegrenzung the lamp socket. Accordingly, a further feature of the invention in a lamp socket with a lamp socket contact, wherein the Einsteckweg limitation for the einzusteckenden conductor, the conductor insertion channel in the socket body forms a stop for the cut end of the conductor insulating sheath.

Ein Lampenfassungskontakt entsprechend der Erfindung ist insgesamt mit 10 bezeichnet. Er ist, wie dies bei solchen Kontakten üblich ist, aus einem Blechstreifen z.B. aus Kontaktfederbronze ausgestanzt, und der in Fig. 5 gezeigte Zuschnitt 11 wird dann zum fertigen Kontakt gebogen.A lampholder contact according to the invention is designated overall by 10. It is, as is usual in such contacts, from a sheet metal strip, for. punched out of contact spring bronze, and the blank 11 shown in Fig. 5 is then bent to the finished contact.

Der Lampenfassungskontakt 10 weist beim Ausführungsbeispiel zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende, federnd ausgebildete Kontaktschenkel 12 auf, die eine gemeinsame Längsmittelachse L definieren und in aufeinander zu gebogenen Partien eine mit 13 angedeutete Klemmstelle für einen zwischen die Kontaktschenkel 12 einzusteckenden Lampenkontaktstift 14 (Fig. 9 und 10) aufweisen.In the exemplary embodiment, the lamp socket contact 10 has two diametrically opposed spring-shaped contact legs 12 which define a common longitudinal central axis L and, in portions bent toward one another, a clamping point indicated by 13 for a lamp contact pin 14 to be inserted between the contact legs 12 (FIGS. 9 and 10). exhibit.

Zu dem der Klemmstelle 13 entfernten Ende hin verbreitert sich ein Klemmschenkel 12' und schließt im Bereich des verbreiterten Abschnitts 12", ebenso wie der gegenüberliegende Klemmschenkel 12, an einen beide Klemmschenkel 12, 12' verbindenden Übergangsabschnitt 15 an. Neben dem Kontaktschenkel 12 ist noch eine in gleicher Richtung geneigte kleine Zunge 16 ausgeformt, die, wie in Fig. 6 und 9 gezeigt, als Verankerungszunge zur unverlierbaren Halterung des Kontaktes 10 in einer Lampenfassung 17 dient.At the end remote from the nip 13, a clamping leg 12 'widens and, in the region of the widened portion 12 ", as well as the opposite clamping leg 12, adjoins a transition section 15 connecting both clamping legs 12, 12' formed in the same direction inclined small tongue 16 which, as shown in Fig. 6 and 9, as an anchoring tongue for captive mounting of the contact 10 in a lamp holder 17 is used.

An dem der Klemmstelle 13 entfernten Ende des Kontaktschenkels 12 sind, mit Abstand voneinander, zwei Federzungen 18 einwärts gegen den gegenüberliegenden Kontaktabschnitt 12" zurückgebogen und bilden hier schraubenlose Anschlußklemmen für zwei elektrische Leiter 19 aus. Die freien Enden der Federzungen 18 bilden Klemmkanten 20 aus und haben einen solchen Abstand voneinander, dass die Leiter 19 seitlich neben den Klemmschenkel 12' geführt werden können. Die Seitenflächen 21 des Kontaktschenkels 12' bilden beim Einstecken der abisolierten Leiterenden 19 für diese Führungsflächen aus. Die Nebeneinanderanordnung der Federzungen 18 mit ihren Klemmkanten 20 und der Leiterenden 19 seitlich neben dem Klemmschenkel 12' zeigt besonders deutlich Fig. 7. Fig. 6 zeigt den Abschnitt 22, über dessen Länge das abisolierte Leiterende 19 an der Seitenfläche 21 des Kontaktschenkels entlang 12' geführt wird.At the end of the contact leg 12 remote from the clamping point 13, at a distance from each other, two spring tongues 18 are bent back inwards against the opposite contact section 12 "and form screwless terminals for two electrical conductors 19. The free ends of the spring tongues 18 form clamping edges 20 and The side surfaces 21 of the contact leg 12 'form on insertion of the stripped conductor ends 19 for these guide surfaces FIG. 6 shows the section 22, over the length of which the stripped conductor end 19 is guided along the side surface 21 of the contact leg along 12 '.

Mit Bezug auf die Fig. 7 und 9 sei erwähnt, daß jeder Leiter 19 nicht nur an der Seitenkante 21 des Klemmschenkels 12' geführt ist, sondern auch gegenüberliegend gegen Ausweichen gesichert ist. Der in diesen Figuren unten dargestellte Leiter 19 ist durch den Übergangsabschnitt 15 des Kontakts an seitlichem Herausgleiten gesichert, der jeweils obere dadurch, daß der Kontakt 10 in einer Kontaktkammer 31 aufgenommen ist und der Leiter 19 daher dicht bei dieser Wand verläuft.With reference to Figs. 7 and 9, it should be noted that each conductor 19 is not only guided on the side edge 21 of the clamping leg 12 ', but is also secured opposite to avoidance. The conductor 19 shown in these figures below is secured by the transition portion 15 of the contact on lateral sliding out, the upper each in that the contact 10 is received in a contact chamber 31 and the conductor 19 therefore runs close to this wall.

Die beschriebene räumliche Nebeneinanderanordnung der Leiter 19 bezüglich des Klemmschenkels 12' ermöglicht das Eingreifen der Lampensockelstifte 14 sowie deren seitliche Dicht-bei-Dicht-Anordnung und axiale Überlappung über eine Wegstrecke, die in Fig. 9 mit 23 bezeichnet ist. Dadurch baut der Lampenfassungskontakt 10 in Axialrichtung L äußerst kurz. Erreicht wurde dies vor allem dadurch, dass man die Federzungen 18 mit ihren Klemmkanten 20 in einer Richtung parallel zur Längsachse L dichter an der Klemmstelle 13 anordnet, als dies bisher der Fall war. Die dichte Zuordnung der Leiterenden 19 zum Sockelkontaktstift 14 zeigt am deutlichsten Fig. 10.The described spatial juxtaposition of the conductors 19 with respect to the clamping leg 12 'allows the engagement of the lamp base pins 14 and their lateral sealing-in-sealing arrangement and axial overlap over a distance which is designated in Fig. 9 with 23. As a result, the lamp socket 10 in the axial direction L builds extremely short. This was achieved mainly by arranging the spring tongues 18 with their clamping edges 20 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis L closer to the terminal point 13, as was previously the case. The dense assignment of the conductor ends 19 to the base contact pin 14 is most clearly shown in FIG. 10.

Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die beiden Federzungen 18 in dieselbe Richtung. Demzufolge sind die Leiter 19 entlang desselben Basisabschnitts 12" des Kontakts einzuführen. Es wäre jedoch auch möglich, in diametral einander gegenüberliegender Zuordnung jeweils eine Federzunge 18 dem Endabschnitt des einen Klemmschenkels 12 und dem des anderen Klemmschenkels 12' zuzuordnen.In the illustrated embodiment, the two spring tongues 18 in the same direction. As a result, the conductors 19 should be inserted along the same base portion 12 "of the contact, but it would also be possible to associate, in diametrically opposed relation, one spring tongue 18 with the end portion of the one clamping leg 12 and the other clamping leg 12 '.

Besonders vorteilhaft im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es, wenn das abisolierte Leiterende 19 beim Einstecken eine seitliche Führung zwischen einer Längsseite 21 eines Klemmschenkels 12 bzw. 12' und dem Übergangsabschnitt 15 des Kontaktes 10 bzw. einer Kontaktkammerwand im Fassungsgehäuse 24 findet. Dank dieser Führung ist es unmöglich, dass beim Einführen der Leiter, also beim elektrischen Anschluß der Fassung, der üblicherweise vorgenommen wird, wenn noch kein Lampensockel in der Fassung steckt, die abisolierten Leiterenden 19 nicht hindernd in die Bewegungsbahn der Sockelkontaktstifte 14 gelangen können. Dies ist deshalb besonders wichtig, weil der erfindungsgemäße Lampenkontakt in jeder Dimension äußerst kompakt gestaltet ist.Particularly advantageous in the context of the invention is when the stripped conductor end 19 when inserting a lateral guide between a longitudinal side 21 of a clamping leg 12 and 12 'and the transition portion 15 of the contact 10 and a contact chamber wall in the socket housing 24 finds. Thanks to this guidance, it is impossible that during insertion of the conductor, so when electrical connection of the socket, which is usually made when no lamp socket is in the socket, the stripped conductor ends 19 can not get into the path of movement of the socket contact pins 14. This is particularly important because the lamp contact according to the invention is extremely compact in every dimension.

Der Lampenfassungskontakt 10 gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt keine Mittel, um die Einstecktiefe der abisolierten Leiterenden 19 zu begrenzen. Diese Mittel sind in der Lampenfassung 17 berücksichtigt; und zwar weist der Leitereinführkanal 25 im Fassungskörper 24 durch Reduzierung oder auch Abstufung einen Anschlag 26 auf, der so gestaltet und angeordnet ist, dass, wenn die Isolierumhüllung 27 der Leitung 28 zum Anschlag gelangt, die vorgewählte Einstecktiefe für das abisolierte Leiterende 19 erreicht ist. Die Leitungen 28 sind zuvor entsprechend zu konfektionieren, d.h. über eine vorbestimmte Länge hinweg sind die Leiterenden 19 von ihrer Isolierumhüllung 27 zu befreien.The lamp socket 10 according to the embodiment of the invention has no means to limit the insertion depth of the stripped conductor ends 19. These means are taken into account in the lamp socket 17; namely, the conductor insertion channel 25 in the socket body 24 by reducing or grading a stop 26 which is designed and arranged so that when the Isolierumhüllung 27 of the line 28 comes to a stop, the preselected insertion depth for the stripped conductor end 19 is reached. The leads 28 have to be pre-assembled accordingly, i. over a predetermined length, the conductor ends 19 are to be freed from their Isolierumhüllung 27.
