Definitions

  • the present invention relates to holder assemblies for lamps, particularly halogen incandescent lamps. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel incandescent lamp and holder assembly, which is simple to assemble and easy to align with respect to the reflector with which, it will generally be used.
  • the present invention particularly relates to a lamp-holder assembly, which is particularly suitable for use in automotive headlights where the position of the filament of the lamp with respect to the focus of the reflector is of utmost importance for the required light distribution emanating from the headlight beam. Apart from the fact that the lamp must be accurately aligned with respect to the focus of the reflector, it s very important that such alignment is retained in spite of the shock and vibration of the vehicle which may be transferred to the lamp.
  • the present invention ideally satisfies these requirements in an improved and hitherto unknown manner.
  • Lamps particularly, halogen incandescent lamps are well known in the art.
  • Most known lamps employ glass capsules with at least a filament having lead wires for electrical connections to the filament.
  • the glass capsule may have one end flattened or pinched into a press seal.
  • the glass capsule may be made of high temperature resistant glass such as quartz glass.
  • the lamps with a single filament are known two filament lamps for projection of "high beam” and "low beam” are particularly common. It becomes very important in such lamps they do not lose their alignment since misalignment of double filament lamps could throw the two light beams in completely wrong directions causing dangerous situations on the road.
  • the applicants have made several improvements in the lamp assemblies of the type mentioned above.
  • the applicants' own co-pending application No. 608/Del/99 discloses an improved incandescent lamp assembly, which comprises in combination, a single ended capsule having a press seal thereof. One or more filaments are located inside the capsule, and current connection leads extend from the press seal. A cylindrical cup portion with a slit on the top portion thereof for receiving the press seal portion of said capsule is provided.
  • the socket means is closed at one end with an insulated material in which the said electrical connection leads are embedded, the open upper portion of the socket means receiving said cup in a snug yet adjustable manner.
  • the socket has one or more vertical weld means for weldably connecting said socket means to said cup, and one or more horizontal weld means located between said vertical weld means.
  • a pair of connection prongs extend outwardly and downwardly from said insulating material.
  • the said horizontal weld means is weldably sealed on the top surface said stepped annular ring.
  • the hollow ring means has flat portions for receiving the socket means in a sealed relationship.
  • the hollow ring comprises a hollow stepped ring with a stepped annular ring means and a flat collar means, the stepped ring receiving in its hollow portion the socket means in a sealed relationship.
  • the horizontal weld means is weldably sealed on the top surface of said stepped annular ring.
  • the lamp portion is the conventional capsule type bulb enclosing at least a filament having lead wires for electrical connections and a pinched flattened plate like portion on the other end having projections on both surfaces.
  • halogen lamps such as H8/H9/H11 specified in European specification ECE37R
  • a spring is provided within the holder, a portion of which the spring protrudes outside the neck diameter of the holder.
  • the three lug like projections on the holder, at the baser of the bulb match the slots provided in the reflector beam.
  • the bulb is inserted in the head light reflector beam through these slots and rotated by which the spring is made to compress centrally inward.
  • a groove is provided in the beam in which the spring is released radially outward getting locked in the groove and the lamp is pressed by the spring in the Vee support provided in the head lamp beam.
  • the improved holder assembly incorporating a novel biasing mechanism which bases away from the pinched portion of the lamp and yet provides more force to hold the lamp in position.
  • the present invention provides an improved holder assembly for holding a bulb in a locked position in the head light beam which comprises a holder, at least one slot within said holder for receiving the pinched portion of the bulb, one or more lugs extending from said holder for mating with corresponding grooves in the head light beam, a biasing means located within the inner diameter of said holder, said biasing means having end portion projecting outwardly of said neck portion from one side of said holder and at least a pair of arms connected within said holder at the opposite side of said holder, said at least one slot for receiving said pinched portion of said bulb lying in a plane inside the arms of said biasing means, each arm of said biasing means having at least a portion lying away from said pinched portion such that when said holder is mounted in the head light beam and rotated to mate said one or more lugs with said grooves in said head light beam, said end portion of said biasing means is depressed, causing said arms to open outwardly and away from said pinched portion, rotation of said
  • the biasing means is of a resilient material, preferably of a metal.
  • both the arms of the biasing means have a deformed protrusion substantially in the centre thereof, said protrusions extending away from said pinch portions.
  • both the arms arms "C” shaped, the C's curving away from the pinched portion of the bulb.
  • the two arms are connected in the base thereof by a third arm so that the biasing means is substantially, "A" shaped, the pinched portion lying in a plane inside the three arms of "A".
  • the end portion of the biasing means extending outwardly from said holder may be tapered or rounded.
  • Fig. 1 discloses in cross section, a conventional holder assembly generally indicated by 1.
  • the holder assembly 1 comprises a holder 6 and a spring means 7 mounted within said holder 6.
  • the spring means comprises of an end portion 2 extending outwardly from said holder 6.
  • the spring means 7 has two arms 8 secured to the inner wall of the holder 6 in the upper semicylinder thereof.
  • the arms 8 have a bent or protruding portion 3 extending inwardly into the holder 6.
  • Inside the holder is a slot 5 for receiving the pinched portion of the bulb (not shown). In use, the bulb is fitted into the holder with the pinched portion thereof being received into said slot 5. Thereafter, the entire holder assembly with the bulb is fixed into the neck portion of the reflector (head light beam) and rotated.
  • the rotation of the holder assembly in the reflector causes the end portion to depress, causing tension in the spring means.
  • the end portion 2 is released into a recess in the head light beam where its snap fits into a locking position.
  • the bulb In use, the bulb is fitted into the holder with the pinched portion thereof being received into said slot 5. Thereafter, the entire holder assembly with the bulb is fixed into the neck portion of the reflector (head light beam) and rotated. The rotation of the holder assembly in the reflector causes the end portion to depress, causing tension in the spring means. When the rotation of the holder assembly 1 is completed along a pre-determined path, the end portion 2 is released into a recess in the head light beam where its snap fits into a locking position.
  • the main disadvantage of the holder assembly described above is that depression of the end portion 2 would cause the protrusions 3 to extend radially inward towards the slot 5 which receives the pinched portion of the bulb, causing the spring means to foul against the bulb or causing the pinched portion of the bulb to obstruct against the movement of the spring means.
  • the biasing means 90 is substantially in the shape of "A".
  • the biasing means 90 comprises a pair of arms 70 extending downwardly around the slot 50 and fixed to the lower semicylinder of the inner cross section of the holder 60 at the position 40.
  • the arms 70 have a bent portion 30 lying substantially in the horizontal diameter of the inner cross section of the holder 60.
  • the arms 70 are connected to each other by a further arm 80 although, it is not essential to have such a further arm 80. When present, such arm may also act as stop means for arms 70.
  • the bulb is fitted into the holder with the pinched portion thereof being received into said slot 50.
  • the entire holder assembly with the bulb is fixed into the neck portion of the reflector (head light beam) and rotated.
  • the rotation of the holder assembly in the reflector causes the end portion 20 to depress, causing tension in the biasing means.
  • the end portion 20 is released into a recess in the head light beam where its snap fits into a locking position.
  • the main advantage of the holder assembly of the present invention is that depression of the end portion 20 would cause the protrusions 30 to extend radially outwardly, away from the slot 50 which receives the pinched portion of the bulb, thereby ensuring that the pinched portion does not obstruct the movement of the biasing means and also prevents fouling of said biasing means against said bulb.
  • the radially inward force developed is approximately 75% higher in the present invention as compared to the prior art designs, making the lamp assembly more rigid and strong.
  • Figs. 2B show alternative embodiments of the present invention wherein the only the difference is in the shape of the arms 70.
  • the protrusions 30 are not present. Instead, the arms 70 curve outwards in a substantially "C" shaped curvature, imparting enough resilience thereto to expand radially outwards, away from the slot 50 when the end portion 20 is depressed.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the headlight beam embodying the holder assembly of the present invention.
  • the lugs of the holder move along the grooves 110 of the headlight beam generally indicated by 100.
  • the end portion 20 of the biasing means 10 is depressed and remains in a depressed state until it is released into the specially made recess in the headlight beam where it snap fits, holding the bulb secure in its place.
  • the radially inward forces developed as a result of depression of the end portion 20 and opening of the downwardly extending arms 70 is so high that it renders the entire lamp assembly more rigid and strong than as seen in the conventional lamp assemblies.
