Besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1 solved. Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the dependent Described claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Reflektorlampe besitzt einen Reflektor, der einen Reflektorhals aufweist und eine Reflektorachse definiert, sowie eine elektrische Lampe, die mittels eines metallischen Halters in dem Reflektorhals fixiert ist, wobei

  • ein Abschnitt des metallischen Halters gegen Drehungen um die Reflektorachse gesichert in einem Durchbruch des Reflektorhalses angeordnet ist und durch diesen Durchbruch aus dem Reflektorhals herausragt,
  • im Bereich des Reflektorhalses ein Absatz angeordnet ist, der in Richtung der Reflektorachse als Tiefenanschlag für den metallischen Halter ausgebildet ist,
  • die Reflektorlampe eine metallische Sockelhülse aufweist, die mit einem Gewinde versehen ist und für die die Außenwand des Reflektorhalses eine Anschlagsfläche bildet, und

Der metallische Halter der erfindungsgemäßen Reflektorlampe ist verdrehsicher in dem Reflektorhals angeordnet und so auf den Reflektorhals und auf die Sockelhülse abgestimmt, dass sich der Halter und die Sockelhülse bei der Montage der Reflektorlampe durch das Zusammenwirken des metallischen Halters mit dem Gewinde der Sockelhülse und mit Hilfe des im Reflektorhals angeordneten Tiefenanschlags für den metallischen Halter gegenseitig fixieren. Durch das Zusammenwirken des metallischen Halters mit dem Gewinde der Sockelhülse wird bei der Montage der Sockelhülse auf den metallischen Halter eine Kraft in axialer Richtung ausgeübt, die bestrebt ist, den Abstand zwischen dem Halter und dem Boden der Sockelhülse zu reduzieren. Der Tiefenanschlag verhindert allerdings eine axiale Bewegung des Halters. Eine gleich große, aber entgegengesetzt wirkende Kraft wird auf die Sockelhülse ausgeübt. Diese Kraft ist ebenfalls bestrebt, den Abstand zwischen dem Boden der Sockelhülse und dem Halter zu verringern. Die Sockelhülse stützt sich nach dem Aufschrauben auf den metallischen Halter an der Außenwand des Reflektorhalses ab. Die Außenwand des Reflektorhalses bildet eine Anschlagsfläche für die Sockelhülse und dient somit als Gegenlager zu dem Tiefenanschlag, auf dem der metallische Halter aufliegt. Insbesondere bestimmen die vorgenannte Anschlagsfläche für die Sockelhülse und der vorgenannte Tiefenanschlag für den metallischen Halter die Tiefe der Schraubverbindung. Dadurch wird eine kittlose Befestigung der Sockelhülse an dem Reflektorhals ermöglicht. Außerdem bietet der metallische Halter durch seinen Kontakt mit der Innenwand der Sockelhülse eine einfache Möglichkeit zur elektrischen Kontaktierung der Lampe. The metallic holder of the reflector lamp according to the invention is non-rotatable in arranged on the reflector neck and so on the reflector neck and on the base sleeve matched that the holder and the base sleeve when mounting the reflector lamp by the interaction of the metallic holder with the thread of the Base sleeve and with the help of the depth stop arranged in the reflector neck for fix the metallic holder to each other. By the interaction of the metallic Holder with the thread of the base sleeve is used when mounting the base sleeve exerted a force in the axial direction on the metallic holder, which strives is to reduce the distance between the holder and the base of the base sleeve. The depth stop prevents axial movement of the holder. An equally large but opposing force is exerted on the base sleeve exercised. This force also strives to distance the bottom of the Reduce socket sleeve and the holder. The base sleeve is based on the Screw on the metallic holder on the outer wall of the reflector neck. The outer wall of the reflector neck forms a stop surface for the base sleeve and thus serves as a counter bearing to the depth stop on which the metallic holder rests. In particular, determine the abovementioned stop surface for the base sleeve and the aforementioned depth stop for the metal holder the depth the screw connection. This ensures that the base sleeve is attached without cement the reflector neck. In addition, the metallic holder offers through its Contact with the inner wall of the base sleeve an easy way to electrical Contacting the lamp.
