Description
- The present invention relates to a lamp holder and to a method for manufacturing said lamp holder, designed in particular for discharge metal halide lamps used especially for technical interior lighting devices or for spotlights used for lighting display locations such as shops, showrooms or the like. These types of light source have an extremely high light efficiency and their chromatic effect is very similar to natural light. This advantage has made this light source the most widely used, searched for and appreciated by people working in the field of technical lighting for shops or display locations, both device manufacturers and field operators and installers. Moreover, since the aforesaid requirements should be combined with aesthetic needs due to the more and more modern design of lighting devices, lamp holders had to become smaller and be safely installed within the structures of lighting devices. Furthermore, the use of discharge halide lamps ensures beyond a high lighting power low energy consumptions, so that these lamps are preferred with respect to traditional incandescent or fluorescent lamps for many applications. Concerning this, according to known techniques, lamp holders for discharge halide lamps are generally made of a ceramic material, i.e. porcelain or steatite, or of a plastic material normally resisting temperatures of at least 200°C. As a matter of fact, ceramic proves to be a particularly suitable material thanks to its very low coefficient of electric and thermal conductivity. In particular, some commercially available lamp holders for discharge halide lamps consist of two half-portions engaged one with the other, incorporating the electrical contacts and having a cavity designed to house the light bulb.
- It is known about lamp holders in which the two half-portions are connected one to the other by means of steel clips or rivets, placed so as to comply with minimum distances from portions under voltage as required by lamp holder manufacturing rules, i.e. "air" distances and "surface" distances, which are generally referred to in the aforesaid rules for manufacturing electrical appliances. Moreover, said lamp holders usually contain an element engaging with the end portion of the bulb, as a rule a base made of ceramic material, so as to hold said bulb onto the lamp holder. Said engaging element is usually made up of one or more elastic metal plates. Eventually, lamp holders according to the prior art are connected to a supporting frame through connecting means such as screws, or rivets, or bolts, which engage into holes made di- here rectly onto the lamp holder body. It is also known from Document
US 2002/0167257 a lamp holder comprising a shade assembly and a clumping tongue which has a plurality of upper arms and lower arms on two opposite sides to clump respectively the grooves of the shade assembly and the grooves of the lamp cup. In this way the lamp cup is elastically connected to the shade assembly. The Applicant has found that lamp holders according to the prior art can be improved under several points of view. In particular, one of the main drawbacks of lamp holders manufactured with the aforesaid fastening system, when these are mounted by an unskilled person or carelessly, consists in a possible break of the holes made in the lamp holder; indeed, these breaks damage the lamp holder structure, causing the loss of the suitable and necessary electrical insulation of the inner portions under voltage. As a matter of fact, both ceramic and plastic materials these lamp holders are made of are very brittle, and since they are always coupled to the fastening structures of the lighting devices, which are far stiffer and more resistant, they are then easily subject to breaks when undergoing too strong a tightening. Moreover, another drawback of lamp holders according to the prior art consists in their complex manufacturing and assembly due to the presence of means for fastening the lamp holder onto the supporting frame, means for holding the bulb onto the lamp holder and means for joining the two half-portions constituting the lamp holder, which are independent from one another. - An aim of the present invention is to solve the problems found in the prior art by means of a lamp holder and a method for manufacturing said lamp holder that can obviate the aforesaid drawbacks. In particular, an aim of the present invention is to propose a lamp holder in which means for fastening the latter to a supporting frame operate without damaging the lamp holder structure. A further aim of the present invention is to propose a method for manufacturing a lamp holder enabling an easy assembly and construction. These and other aims, which shall be more evident from the following description, are basically achieved by a lamp holder and by a method for manufacturing said lamp holder, comprising the characteristics listed in the characterizing portions of

With reference to the accompanying figures,number 1 globally refers to a lamp holder according to the present invention. Thelamp holder 1 comprises abase 2,electrical connection elements 3 and a supporting body 4 mounted onto thebase 2. Thebase 2, basically prism-shaped, houses inside twoseparate channels 2a symmetrical to one another, designed to contain theelectrical connection elements 3 and to electrically insulate them one from the other. Theelectrical connection elements 3 are made up for instance of two electrical cables and two contacts. The supporting body 4 has at least two throughholes 5 for contacting the ends of a light bulb, not shown because of conventional type, with theelectrical connection elements 3. Moreover, the supporting body 4, basically prism-shaped too, has a surface matching thechannels 2a, which is designed to engage with thebase 2. The surface of the supporting body 4 comprising the twoholes 5 has acavity 4a matching the lamp base so as to enable the bulb to rest onto the lamp holder. Thelamp holder 1 further comprisesmeans 6 for positioning or fastening the lamp holder onto a supportingframe 7 and means for holding the light bulb onto the lamp holder. Advantageously, the fastening means 6 and the holding means 8 are defined by oneelastic element 9. Advantageously, theelastic element 9 further comprises means 10 for joining thebase 2 to the supporting body 4. Preferably, theelastic element 9 is made up of a metal or plastic plate or a plate made of any material with elastic properties resembling those of the aforesaid materials. As can be seen inFigure 1 , theelastic element 9 is basically shaped as a fork and comprises abase plate 11 and twoprongs 12, which are plate-like, too, and develop starting from opposite ends and transversally to thebase plate 11. Advantageously, thebase plate 11 comprises at least anextension 13, and preferably twoextensions 13 placed in opposite positions with respect to the lamp holder, beyond each of theprongs 12. Saidextension 13 has at least one throughhole 14. Theextension 13 and thehole 14 define themeans 6 for fastening the lamp holder onto the supportingframe 7. Said fastening means 6 enable to connect thelamp holder 1 to the supportingframe 7 for instance by means of screws 15 (as shown inFigure 2 ). In an execution variant, shown inFigures 12 to 15 , saidextension 13 can be made of one plate only. Preferably, so as to be stronger and reliable, saidextension 13 is made up of a double plate layer, as shown inFigures 1 to 9 . In order to obtain the arrangement described above, theelastic element 9, i.e. the plate, is deformed according to abend 11a made on a free end of said plate until twoadjacent portions Figure 4 ). Then, abend 11b pointing away from the underlying portion is made on the overlappingplate portion 13a until an approximately square angle is defined, thus forming one of theprongs 12. - Advantageously, in order to obtain the
extension 13 at least one section in which twoplate portions Figure 5 ) and pierced so as to enable the introduction of ascrew 15 or of any other fastening element. All these manufacturing steps are repeated in a basically analogous manner on the opposite end of the plate, not engaged during the steps described above. Thebase 2 of the lamp holder is inserted into the fork in contact with thebase plate 11 of said fork. Preferably, agroove 16 matching thebase plate 11 is made on thebase 2, on which groove saidbase 2 rests. Advantageously, each of theprongs 12 has aninner appendage 17 comprising aprojection 18 pointing inside the fork; the assembly includinginner appendage 17 andprojection 18 defines themeans 10 for joining thebase 2 to the supporting body 4. Theappendage 17 is obtained by cutting the plate making up theelastic body 9 on the position occupied by at least one of theprongs 12. Theappendage 17 can be cut in the inner portion of theprongs 12, as shown inFigures 1 to 3 , or it can be cut in theouter side portion 12 of saidprongs 12, as shown inFigures 16 to 19 , thus obtaining twoouter appendages 17. Preferably, the supporting body 4 comprises at least onegroove 19 shaped so as to engage with theprojection 18. The supporting body 4 is placed on thebase 2 and between theprongs 12 of the fork, so that thegroove 19 faces theprojection 18. - Advantageously, at least one of the
prongs 12 of the fork comprises anelement 20 shaped so as to engage with the bulb base, said shapedelement 20 defining the means for holding the bulb onto thelamp holder 1. Preferably, the shapedelement 20 is made up of afirst bend 20a of the free end of acorresponding prong 12 pointing inside the fork and approaching thebase plate 11 of said fork. Thebend 20a defines atongue 21 on which asecond bend 20b is made, pointing towards the corresponding prong and approaching thebase plate 11 of the fork (as shown inFigures 6 and 7 ). Theprong 12 is thus granted a higher elasticity, since the bending shape as described above defines three bending areas or angles acting upon the lamp holder, instead of the two traditional bending angles of known embodiments (seeFigures 10 and 11 ). - Alternatively, the shaped
element 20 is made up of afirst bend 20c of the free end of acorresponding prong 12 pointing inside the fork and away from thebase plate 11 of said fork. Thebend 20c defines atongue 21a on which a second bend 20d is made, pointing outside and away from thebase plate 11 of the fork (as shown inFigures 8 and 9 ). The lamp holder according to the present invention is assembled by inserting thebase 2 between theprongs 12 and in contact with thebase plate 11, and by inserting the supporting body 4 onto thebase 2 so that theprojections 18 of theinner appendages 17 can hold the supporting body 4 through thegrooves 19. As a matter of fact, the elasticity ofelement 9 ensures that the body 4 is suitably held in its seat. Thelamp holder 1 can thus be connected to the supporting frame through thescrews 15 engaged into theholes 14 of theextensions 13. Eventually, by pressing the bulb base towards thesurface 4a of the supporting body 4, the elasticity ofelement 9 allows the bulb base to move theprongs 12 away from one another and to rest onto thesurface 4a. The shapedelements 20 then engage with the bulb base and thanks to the elasticity of theprongs 12 they hold the light bulb onto thelamp holder 1. The present invention solves the problems found in the prior art and achieves the fixed aims. Thanks to the fastening means of the lamp holder included in the elastic element, the lamp holder according to the present invention can be connected to any supporting frame also by an unskilled user. As a matter of fact, the screws act directly upon the elastic element without coming into contact with the ceramic material of the lamp holder, thus eliminating possible breaks due to an excessive tightness of said screws or of similar fastening means or means performing the same function. Moreover, the two overlapping sections of the extension ensure solidity and strength to the means for fastening the lamp holder onto the supporting frame. More to the point, the particular arrangement, shown inFigures 6 and 7 , of the shaped element designed to hold the light bulb onto the lamp holder ensures such a stiffness of the prongs as to eliminate any clearance between prongs and bulb base. Eventually, the fact that the means for fastening the lamp holder onto the supporting body, the means for holding the light bulb onto the lamp holder and the means for joining the base to the supporting body are positioned on one element ensures a simpler and faster assembly and manufacturing of the lamp holder.
