  • der Hohlraum an seinem der Lichtaustrittsöffnung zugewandten Ende einen in Richtung der Lichtaustrittsöffhung konisch erweiterten Übergangsbereich besitzt, wobei das Lampengefäß in diesem Übergangsbereich an der Innenwand des Reflektorhalses anliegt, und
  • an dem aus dem Reflektorhals herausragenden Abschnitt der mindestens einen Stromzuführung ein sich quer zu dieser Stromzuführung erstreckendes Befestigungselement fixiert ist, das an der Außenwand des Reflektorhalses anliegt.
The reflector lamp according to the invention has a longitudinal axis, a reflector and a lamp arranged in the reflector, wherein
  • the lamp comprises a lamp vessel having at least one sealed end extending along the longitudinal axis, the at least one sealed end having a dimension reduced relative to the lamp vessel, at least in a spatial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis,
  • protruding from the at least one sealed end at least one power supply for a arranged within the lamp vessel illuminant,

Durch die Kombination der vorgenannten Merkmale der erfindungsgemäßen Reflektorlampe kann die Lampe ohne die Verwendung von zusätzlichen Federelementen in Längsrichtung in dem Reflektor spielfrei befestigt werden. Hierzu tragen insbesondere das an die mindestens eine Stromzuführung fixierte und sich quer zu dieser Stromzufi\h-rung erstreckende Befestigungselement sowie das im Vergleich zu dem abgedichteten Ende und dem Hohlraum breitere Lampengefäß bei, die sich am. Reflektor abstützen. Das an der mindestens einen Stromzuführung fixierte Befestigungselement ist vorzugsweise als quer zur Stromzuführung angeordneter Draht oder als ringförmige Scheibe mit einer sich senkrecht zu der mindestens einen Stromzuführung erstreckenden Scheibenfläche ausgebildet. Um eine spielfreie Fixierung der Lampe auch senkrecht zur Längsachse der Reflektorlampe zu ermöglichen, ist der Hohlraum des Reflektorhalses, in dem die Quetschdichtung des Lampengefäßes angeordnet ist, oder/und der lichtreflektierende Teil des Reflektors vorteilhafterweise in Richtung der Lichtaustrittsöffnung des Reflektors konisch erweitert. Durch diese Maßnahme ist gewährleistet, dass das Lampegefäß beim Einführen der Quetschdichtung in den Hohlraum des Reflektorhalses an der konisch ausgebildeten Innenwand des Reflektorhalses oder des reflektierenden Teils des Reflektors anliegt und seitlich, das heißt, senkrecht zur Längsachse abgestützt wird. Zusätzlich oder alternativ können die Abmessungen des Hohlraums in dem Reflektorhals auch passgerecht auf die entsprechenden Abmessungen der Quetschdichtung abgestimmt, um eine seitliche Abstützung der Lampe in dem Reflektor zu erzielen. Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Befestigung der Lampe in dem Reflektor sind die Abmessungen der mindestens einen Durchführung in dem Reflektorhals vorteilhafterweise passgerecht auf die Dicke der mindestens einen Stromzuführung abgestimmt.By combining the aforementioned features of the reflector lamp according to the invention, the lamp can be fixed without play in the longitudinal direction in the reflector without the use of additional spring elements. In particular, the fastening element which is fixed to the at least one power supply and extends transversely to this current supply, and the lamp vessel which is wider in comparison to the sealed end and the cavity, which are supported on the reflector, contribute to this purpose. The fixing element fixed to the at least one power supply is preferably a wire arranged transversely to the power supply or an annular disk having a disk surface extending perpendicularly to the at least one power supply educated. In order to enable a backlash-free fixation of the lamp also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the reflector lamp, the cavity of the reflector neck, in which the pinch seal of the lamp vessel is arranged, and / or the light-reflecting part of the reflector advantageously widened conically in the direction of the light exit opening of the reflector. By this measure, it is ensured that the lamp vessel during insertion of the pinch seal in the cavity of the reflector neck abuts against the conical inner wall of the reflector neck or the reflective part of the reflector and laterally, that is, is supported perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Additionally or alternatively, the dimensions of the cavity in the reflector neck can also be matched to the appropriate dimensions of the pinch seal in order to achieve lateral support of the lamp in the reflector. To further improve the fastening of the lamp in the reflector, the dimensions of the at least one passage in the reflector neck are advantageously matched to the thickness of the at least one power supply.

Bei dem in den Figuren 1 und 2 abgebildeten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung handelt es sich um eine Reflektorlampe, die mit einem Stiftsockel des Typs GU5,3 versehen ist und eine elektrische Leistungsaufnahme von ca. 50 W besitzt. Diese Reflektorlampe weist einen Reflektor 1 aus Glas und eine darin befestigte Niedervolt-Halogenglühlampe 2 auf. Der Reflektor 1 besitzt einen rotationssymmetrischen, lichtreflektierenden Teil 11, der im wesentlichen die Gestalt einer Kugelkalotte aufweist und dessen Lichtaustrittsöffnung mittels einer lichtdurchlässigen Scheibe 3 aus Glas oder Kunststoff verschlossen ist. An den lichtreflektierenden Teil 11 des Reflektors 1 ist ein Reflektorhals 12 angeformt, der sich entlang der Symmetrieachse der Kugelkalotte 11 erstreckt. Die Symmetrieachse der Kugelkalotte 11 bildet auch die Längsachse A der Reflektorlampe. Die Innenwand der Kugelkalotte 11 ist lichtreflektierend ausgebildet.In the in the FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment of the invention is a reflector lamp, which is provided with a pin base of the type GU5,3 and has an electrical power consumption of about 50 W. This reflector lamp has a reflector 1 made of glass and a low-voltage halogen incandescent lamp mounted therein 2 on. The reflector 1 has a rotationally symmetrical, light-reflecting part 11, which essentially has the shape of a spherical cap and whose light exit opening is closed by means of a translucent disc 3 made of glass or plastic. To the light-reflecting part 11 of the reflector 1, a reflector neck 12 is formed, which extends along the axis of symmetry of the spherical cap 11. The symmetry axis of the spherical cap 11 also forms the longitudinal axis A of the reflector lamp. The inner wall of the spherical cap 11 is formed light-reflecting.

Die in dem Reflektor 1 befestigte Niedervolt-Halogenglühlampe 2 besitzt ein gläsernes Lampengefäß 21 mit einem gasdicht verschlossenen Ende 22, das als Quetschdichtung 22 ausgebildet. In dem Lampengefäß 21 ist ein Leuchtmittel 4, insbesondere eine aus Wolframdraht bestehende Glühwendel 4, eingeschlossen. Die Enden der Glühwendel 4 sind jeweils mit einer inneren, aus Molybdändraht gefertigten Stromzuführung 51, 52 verbunden, die ihrerseits jeweils über eine gasdicht in der Quetschdichtung 22 eingebettete Molybdänfolie 61, 62 mit einer äußeren Stromzuführung 71, 72 verbunden sind. Die äußeren Stromzuführungen 71, 72 ragen aus der Quetschdichtung 22 heraus. Ihre mit den Molybdänfolien 61, 62 verschweißten Enden bestehen aus Molybdän während ihre aus der Quetschdichtung 22 herausgeführten Enden als Nickelstifte oder Edelstahlstifte oder als vernickelte Edelstahlstifte ausgebildet sind.The fixed in the reflector 1 low-voltage halogen bulb 2 has a glassy lamp vessel 21 with a gas-tight closed end 22, which is formed as a pinch seal 22. In the lamp vessel 21, a light source 4, in particular a consisting of tungsten filament 4 is included. The ends of the filament 4 are each connected to an inner, made of molybdenum wire power supply 51, 52, which in turn are each connected via a gas-tight embedded in the pinch seal 22 molybdenum foil 61, 62 with an external power supply 71, 72. The outer power supply lines 71, 72 project out of the pinch seal 22. Their ends welded to the molybdenum foils 61, 62 are made of molybdenum while their ends led out of the pinch seal 22 are formed as nickel or stainless steel pins or as nickel plated stainless steel pins.

Die Halogenglühlampe 2 ist axial in dem Reflektor 1 ausgerichtet. Die Quetschdichtung 22 ist in einem Hohlraum 13 des Reflektorhalses 12 angeordnet, so dass sich die beiden äußeren Stromzuführungen 71, 72 jeweils durch eine Durchführung im Boden des Reflektorhalses 12 nach außen erstrecken. In der Raumrichtung senkrecht zur Längsachse A und zu der Ebene der Molybdänfolien 61, 62 besitzt das Lampengefäß 21 eine größere Ausdehnung als die Quetschdichtung 22 und als der Hohlraum 13 des Reflektorhalses 12. Der Hohlraum 13 weist in dieser Raumrichtung, an seinem der Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 zugewandten Ende einen konisch erweiterten Übergangsbereich auf. Das Lampengefäß 21 liegt in diesem Übergangsbereich an der Innenwand 14 des Reflektorhalses 12 an. Die aus dem Reflektorhals 12 herausragenden äußeren Stromzuführungen 71, 72 sind jeweils mit einem Draht 81, 82 aus Edelstahl verschweißt, der senkrecht zu der jeweiligen Stromzuführung 71 bzw. 72 angeordnet ist und an der Außenwand des Reflektorhalses 12 anliegt. Da das Lampengefäß 21 an dem der Lichtaustrittsöffnung 3 zugewandten Ende des Reflektorhalses 12 auf dem Reflektor 1 aufsitzt und die Drähte 81, 82 an der Außenwand des Reflektorhalses 12 anliegen, ist die Halogenglühlampe 2 in Richtung der Längsachse A spielfrei in dem Reflektor1 fixiert. Aufgrund des konisch ausgebildeten Übergangsbereiches 14 ist die Halogenglühlampe 2 auch senkrecht zur Längsachse A spielfrei in dem Reflektor 1 fixiert.The halogen incandescent lamp 2 is aligned axially in the reflector 1. The pinch seal 22 is arranged in a cavity 13 of the reflector neck 12, so that the two outer power supply lines 71, 72 each extend through a passage in the bottom of the reflector neck 12 to the outside. In the spatial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and to the plane of the molybdenum foils 61, 62, the lamp vessel 21 has a greater extent than the pinch seal 22 and as the cavity 13 of the reflector neck 12. The cavity 13 has in this spatial direction, at its the light exit opening 3 facing End a conically enlarged transition area. The lamp vessel 21 abuts against the inner wall 14 of the reflector neck 12 in this transition region. The projecting from the reflector neck 12 outer power supply lines 71, 72 are each welded to a wire 81, 82 made of stainless steel, which is perpendicular to the respective power supply 71 and 72 and rests against the outer wall of the reflector neck 12. Since the lamp vessel 21 is seated on the reflector 1 at the end of the reflector neck 12 facing the light exit opening 3 and the wires 81, 82 rest against the outer wall of the reflector neck 12, the halogen incandescent lamp 2 is fixed in the reflector 1 in the direction of the longitudinal axis A without play. Due to the conical transition region 14, the halogen incandescent lamp 2 is also fixed in the reflector 1 without play perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A.

Zur Herstellung der Reflektorlampe wird die nach einem üblichen Verfahren vorgefertigte Niedervolt-Halogenglühlampe 2 über die offene Lichtaustrittsöffnung in den ebenfalls nach einem bekannten Verfahren vorgefertigten Reflektor 1 eingesetzt, so dass die Quetschdichtung 22 in dem Hohlraum 13 des Reflektorhalses 12 angeordnet ist und die äußeren Stromzuführungen 71, 72 durch die Durchführungen im Boden des Reflektorhalses 12 nach außen ragen. Die Quetschdichtung 22 wird so weit in den Hohlraum 13 eingeführt bis das Lampengefäß 21 auf der Innenwand 14 des konisch erweiterten Übergangsbereiches des Hohlraums 13 bzw. des Reflektorhalses 12 aufsitzt. In dieser Position werden die Lampe 2 und der Reflektor 1 in einer Haltevorrichtung (nicht abgebildet) fixiert. Anschließend werden mittels eines LASERs die quer zu den äußeren Stromzuführungen 71, 72 ausgerichteten Drähte 81, 82 an diese Stromzuführungen 71 bzw. 72 angeschweißt, und zwar so, dass die Drähte an der Außenwand des Reflektorhalses 12 beziehungsweise an dem Boden des Reflektorhalses 12 anliegen. Danach werden die Drähte 81, 82 mit Hilfe des LASERs auf die gewünschte Länge gekürzt. Die Haltevorrichtung für die Lampe 2 und den Reflektor 1 wird nun entfernt. Abschließend wird die Abdeckscheibe 3 für die Lichtaustrittsöffnung des Reflektors 1 montiert.For producing the reflector lamp, the low-voltage halogen incandescent lamp 2 prefabricated by a conventional method is inserted into the reflector 1 likewise prefabricated by a known method via the open light exit opening, so that the pinch seal 22 is arranged in the cavity 13 of the reflector neck 12 and the external supply leads 71 , 72 project through the bushings in the bottom of the reflector neck 12 to the outside. The pinch seal 22 is inserted so far into the cavity 13 until the lamp vessel 21 is seated on the inner wall 14 of the conically enlarged transition region of the cavity 13 and the reflector neck 12. In this position, the lamp 2 and the reflector 1 are fixed in a holding device (not shown). Subsequently, by means of a laser, the wires 81, 82 aligned transversely to the external power supply lines 71, 72 are welded to these power supply lines 71 and 72, in such a way that the wires abut against the outer wall of the reflector neck 12 or at the bottom of the reflector neck 12. Thereafter, the wires 81, 82 are shortened to the desired length with the aid of the LASER. The fixture for the lamp 2 and the reflector 1 is now removed. Finally, the cover 3 is mounted for the light exit opening of the reflector 1.

Gemäß des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung werden anstelle der Drähte 81, 82 zwei aus einem Metall - beispielsweise aus Edelstahl - bestehende ringförmige Scheiben 81', 82' als Befestigungselemente verwendet. In allen anderen Details stimmt die Reflektorlampe gemäß des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels mit der oben erläuterten Reflektorlampe überein. Aus diesem Grund werden in den Figuren 3 und 4 für identische Teile dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in den Figuren 1 und 2 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels verwendet. Auf jede der beiden äußeren Stromzuführungen 71, 72 ist eine ringförmige Scheiben 81', 82' aufgefädelt, so dass die Scheibenflächen senkrecht zur jeweiligen äußeren Stromzuführung 71 bzw. 72 angeordnet sind und an der Außenwand des Reflektorhalses 12 aufliegen. Diese Scheiben 81', 82' werden nach ihrem Auffädeln mit der entsprechenden äußeren Stromzuführung 71 bzw 72 verschweißt. Der Innendurchmesser der ringförmigen Scheiben 81', 82' ist auf die Dicke der Stromzuführungen 71, 72 abgestimmt. Dadurch dass das Lampengefäß 21 auf der Innenwand 14 des konisch erweiterten Übergangsbereiches des Hohlraums 13 bzw. des Reflektorhalses 12 aufliegt und die Scheiben 81', 82' an der Außenwand des Reflektorhalses 12 anliegen, wird die Lampe 2 spielfrei in axialer Richtung des Reflektors 1 gehaltert.According to the second embodiment of the invention, instead of the wires 81, 82, two annular disks 81 ', 82' consisting of a metal, for example of stainless steel, are used as fastening elements. In all other details, the reflector lamp according to the second embodiment agrees with the above-explained reflector lamp. For this reason, in the Figures 3 and 4 for identical parts the same reference numerals as in the FIGS. 1 and 2 of the first embodiment. On each of the two outer power supply lines 71, 72 an annular discs 81 ', 82' is threaded, so that the disc surfaces are arranged perpendicular to the respective outer power supply 71 and 72 and rest on the outer wall of the reflector neck 12. These discs 81 ', 82' are welded after their threading with the corresponding external power supply 71 and 72, respectively. The inner diameter of the annular discs 81 ', 82' is matched to the thickness of the power supply lines 71, 72. Characterized in that the lamp vessel 21 on the inner wall 14 of the flared transition region of the cavity 13 and the reflector neck 12 rests and the discs 81 ', 82' rest against the outer wall of the reflector neck 12, the lamp 2 is held without play in the axial direction of the reflector 1.
