Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a lamp-holder with quick-locking device for the electric cable of the lamp.
  • Italian patent application for utility model No. MI94U000534 describes a lamp holder that provides integrally a cable clamp consisting of an internally hollow tubular part.
  • the electric cable is blocked automatically inside the cable clamp, when the cable clamp is inserted inside a hole of a lamp base.
  • the cable clamp comprises flexible tongues which, when pressed against the walls of the hole in the lamp base, bend inward and clamp the cord by means of serrations.
  • said system can work only when the cable clamp is inserted inside the hole in a lamp base. Said system therefore depends upon the particular configuration of the lamp base which must provide a hole of a suitable diameter to accommodate the cable clamp.
  • Italian patent application for utility model MI98U 000005 describes a lamp-holder and a cap that is snap fastened onto the lamp-holder.
  • the cap comprises a hollow tubular part through which the electric cable is inserted and passed through two jaws provided inside the cap. One of said jaws is connected to a cam surface.
  • the lamp-holder provides a box-shaped seat wherein are situated the contacts for the strands of the electric cable.
  • the cam surface of the jaw slides over the box-shaped seat of the lamp-holder and causes bending of the relative jaw which sandwiches the cable against the other jaw, locking it in position.
  • Document DE 88 05 216 U discloses a lamp-holder with a quick-locking device for an electric cable comprising three parts: a lamp-holder body, a cap including a pierced tubular part and a part where electrical connection means to the strands of the electric cable are provided and a quick-locking device, having a pierced tubular part for entry of said electric cable and bearing yielding engagement means bringing into a firm locking said electric cable.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate said drawbacks, providing a lamp-holder with a quick-locking device for the electric cable that is highly versatile and can be applied to any type of lamp-holder or lamp base.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a lamp-holder with a quick-locking device for the electric cable that is economical, simple to make and does not comprise additional parts for locking of the electric cable.
  • the lamp-holder with quick-locking device for the electric cable comprises a cap destined to be applied over the lamp-holder.
  • the cap provides a hollow tubular part having an entry hole through which the electric cable is inserted.
  • the electric cable is then passed through engagement means provided inside the body of the cap.
  • Said engagement means are preferably two opposite facing jaws connected by means of small flexible bridges to the inside wall of the body of the cap.
  • a lamp-holder 1 comprises a body of insulating material defining a bell-shaped seat with an internal thread for a screw base wherein a lamp of the type commonly available commercially is screwed. In this manner the electrical contacts of the lamp go into contact with the respective electrical contacts 2 of the lamp-holder communicating with the rear or upper part 3 of the lamp-holder 1 wherein seats 4 able to accommodate the strands 5 of an electric cable 6 are provided.
  • a cap 10 is positioned at the rear above the lamp-holder 1.
  • the cap 10 is made of insulating material and comprises a substantially cylindrical hollow body 11. Above the body 11 rises a hollow tubular part 12 having an entry hole 100 for the electric cable.
  • the tubular part 12 has flexible serrations 13 that protrude outward to allow forced engagement inside a hole in a supporting base 14 of the lamp.
  • the tubular part 12 can have an outer thread for fixing to the base of the lamp by means of a nut or metal ring.
  • the tongues 15 have protrusions or small retaining teeth 16 such as to engage in corresponding seats made in the lamp-holder 1.
  • Two opposite jaws 20 are provided inside the body 11 of the cap. Each jaw 20 is supported by a small bridge 21 connected to the inner wall of the body 11.
  • the small bridge 21 is made of a suitable flexible material to allow elastic yielding of the jaws 20.
  • two reinforcing ribs 23 ( Figures 6 and 7), parallel with each other, to avoid possible breakage of the small bridge.
  • two slits 24 are made, in diametrically opposite positions, to allow elastic yielding of the small bridges 21 when pressure is exerted.
  • the opposite surfaces of the jaws 20 have serrations 22 which are inclined slightly downward in order to be able to clasp the electric cable 6.
  • the electric cable 6 is inserted through the hole 100 from the top of the tubular part 12, then passes through the jaws 20 provided inside the body 11 of the cap 10.
  • the jaws 20 are in close contact with the cable 6. Downward traction of the cable 6 causes pressure on the jaws 20 and thus downward elastic yielding of the small bridges 21 that support the jaws. Since the serrations 22 of the jaws face downward, they do not oppose downward sliding of the cable 6.
  • the strands 5 of the cable are inserted in the seats 4 of the contacts of the lamp-holder 1 and the cap 10 is snap fastened onto the lamp-holder through engagement of the elastic tongues 15.
