Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a standard lamp.
  • the invention concerns a standard lamp of the type which mainly consists of a standard comprising a foot and an upward directed support mounted upon it, whereby at least a lamp holder with a lamp, and usually also a lamp shade are provided on this support.
  • Such standard lamps are used among others for additional lighting or atmospheric lighting in an interior, as desk lamps or the like.
  • lamps are found both as low and high embodiments, whereby the low embodiment is usually designed to be placed on an elevation, such as on a piece of furniture or the like, whereas the high embodiment is placed rather directly on the floor.
  • a first disadvantage thereof is that such known standard lamps occupy much storage space and transport space when packed.
  • a second disadvantage is that, for packing such known standard lamps, large amounts of packaging material are required which partly determine the cost price of the standard lamps.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the above-mentioned and other disadvantages.
  • the invention concerns a standard lamp which is made such that, for a single height of the standard lamp, it can be put in a considerably smaller packaging.
  • the standard lamp according to the invention consists of a standard comprising a foot and an upward directed support mounted on said foot, whereupon at least a lamp holder for a lamp is provided and which consists of at least two coaxial parts, the far ends of said parts that are directed towards one another being provided respectively with a female part and a male part working in conjunction with this female part, whereby said male part is made in the shape of a U-shaped protrusion with legs and which are mutually connected by means of a cross wall, such that these standard lamps can be easily mounted by simply sliding the male part and the female part into one another.
  • a standard lamp according to the invention mainly consists of a standard 1 which is formed of a foot 2 and an upward directed support 3 mounted upon it which is provided with a lamp shade 4 at its top end with a lamp holder 5 plus lamp 6 in it.
  • the support 3 consists of two coaxial parts, 7 and 8 respectively, which in this case are formed of two tubes with a rectangular cross section, the lower part 7 of which is fixed with its lower far end on the foot 2, whereas the top part is situated in the prolongation of the lower part 7 and is slightly bent.
  • the lower part 7 is provided with a female part 9 at its top end which can work in conjunction with a male part 10 provided at the lower end of the top part 8.
  • the female part 9 in this case consists of the far end of the tube forming the lower end 7, in particular of the far ends of the four walls 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this tube, and of a rib 15 provided on the inner side of the wall 11, at least in its top end, whereby said female part 9 forms a U-shaped opening 16.
  • the male part 10 on the lower end of the top part 8 is in this case made of a protrusion having a U-shaped cross-section with legs 17 and 18 which are mutually connected by a cross wall 19.
  • the height A and the width B of the U-shaped protrusion are mainly equal to the intermediate distance C of the opposite walls 11-13 and the intermediate distance D of the other opposite walls 12-14 of the female part 9.
  • the female part can be provided in the part 8 and the male part on the part 7.
  • the lamp holder 5 is connected to a line cord 20 provided in the top part 8 through the parts 7 and 8 of the support 3 via an opening 21, after which the line cord 21 leaves the lower part 7 via an opening 22.
  • a standard lamp according to the invention can be put very easily in a packaging 25, as is represented in figure 7, so to say in two parts, 23 and 24 respectively.
  • the packaging 25 can be made considerably smaller in this case than the packaging required to put away a conventional standard lamp with a one-piece support and similar dimensions.
  • the dimensions of the parts 7 and 8 of the support 3 are preferably selected such that the loose parts 23 and 24 of the standard lamp have practically the same length, such that the packaging 25 only has to be half as high in this case as in the case of a conventional one-piece standard lamp having the same dimensions.
  • the dimensions of the female part 9 and the male part 10 are preferably such that they slide into one another in a clamping manner, so that a rigid fastening is obtained between the parts 23 and 24 of the standard lamp.
  • the dimensions of the female part 9 and of the male part 10 are preferably selected such that the distance between the rib 15 of the female part 9 and the opposite cross wall 19 of the male part 10 is equal to or somewhat smaller than the thickness of the line cord 20, so that this line cord 20 is clamped between said rib 15 and the cross wall 19 in a mounted standard lamp, preventing that the line cord 21 can be inadvertently drawn out of the support 3.
  • the support 3 is composed of tubes with a rectangular shape, tubes having round or other shapes are not excluded either. Naturally, in this case, the male part must have an adapted shape.
  • the lower part 7 of the support 3 can be made in the shape of a rectangular tube without a rib 15, so that, in this case, the male part 10 can be made in the shape of a rectangular protrusion having the same outside dimensions as the inside dimensions of the rectangular tube concerned.
  • the support 3 consists of more than two parts, as a result of which the packaging can be made even smaller.
  • the lower part 7 of the support 3 can be provided as separate from the foot 2 in the packaging, whereby, before the standard lamp can be mounted, said lower part 7 must first be provided on the foot 2 and must subsequently be fixed, for example by means of a screw or the like.
