Abstract
Description
- Non-bayonet fitting lamp socket for vehicle headlamps, of the type having an elongated cylindrical configuration, there being defined a first and a second cylindrical section, with the first section having a smaller diameter than the second section, and with both having the same central longitudinal axis of symmetry, and being arranged consecutively one after the other without any continuity solution, whereby the first section is arranged so as to carry a lightbulb and is the one that is actually housed and inserted into the headlamp housing, the second section being arranged for the passage of cables therethrough and is the one that remains outside the actual body of the headlamp and wherein the second section is provided with holes through which pass the cables for supplying electricity to the lightbulb in the lamp socket, characterised in that it has some cone-shaped parts, the bases of which face said holes for the passage therethrough of said cables.
- Various lightbulb lamp sockets are known in the state of the art, which are housed in places where they suffer either from the inclemency of the weather, or from humidity.
- So, European Patent No.
1016818 is known, dated 1999, in the name of HUGO SCHNIPPERING GMBH & CO. KG., which relates to a lamp socket made from insulating material for H 7 lamps designed for car vehicle lighting systems, wherein the lamp socket supports connector sockets made from electrically conducting material into which the connection contacts of the H 7 lamp can be inserted, and which lamp socket also supports socket connection means made from electrically conducting material that are each linked in a conducting manner to one of the connector sockets and which can be plugged into or onto the socket connection parts, which are attached to the reflector or the housing of the headlamp that is to be fitted with the lamp socket and which can be attached to connection cables, the connector sockets being supported in a floating manner in the lamp socket, characterised in that the socket connection means are arranged in a radial direction outside the plug-in area of the H 7 lamp, each connector socket is attached to a socket connection means via a jumping cable that is supported elastically and flexibly with partial areas in the bottom of the lamp socket, with the jumping cable being shaped in the connector socket leaving the connection area free, the conformation area having a certain distance at the bottom of the lamp socket, with arms previously curved outwards projecting from the conformation, which arms lie on rest areas like skates on the bottom wall of the lamp socket, with one of the arms being connected integrally to a socket connection part. - Finally, it is worth mentioning European Patent No.
0683367 ,dated 1995 - So, although such lamp sockets have good characteristics for supporting lightbulbs and allowing them to be changed, they suffer from the drawback that they are not sufficiently watertight, either on the side that is actually inside the headlamp where it holds the lightbulb, or on the opposite side where it receives the electricity supply.
- Said drawback proves particularly problematic when it rains, and also in vehicles designed for use in marshy land, or four-wheel drives in general (amphibious vehicles, used by the military, racing vehicles, etc.).
- This invention implies a considerable development in non-bayonet fitting lamp socket for vehicle headlamps.
- The inventor already revolutionised this field with Spanish Utility Model No.
U200502671 ES1061613 - This application aims at improving said utility model, by increasing the watertightness in the area of the cable outlet holes, while also allowing for the attachment of the lamp socket.
- This is achieved by adding cone-shaped parts to said hole outlets, which, on the one hand, increases watertightness, since the cable is protected and prevented from coming into contact with humidity or liquids, and on the other hand, said cone-shaped parts allow a support to be attached, which performs the function of locking means, thereby enhancing the attachment of the lamp socket inside the headlamp and preventing false cable contacts or cable erosion.
- In the light of the above, this application implies a double development in the vehicle headlamp lamp socket sector.
- An object of this invention is a non-bayonet fitting lamp socket for vehicle headlamps, of the type having an elongated, cylindrical configuration, there being defined a first and a second cylindrical section, with the first section having a smaller diameter than the second section, and with both having the same central longitudinal axis of symmetry, and being arranged consecutively one after the other without a solution of continuity, whereby the first section is arranged so that it carries a lightbulb and is the one that is actually housed and inserted into the headlamp housing, the second section being arranged for the passage of cables therethrough and is the one that remains outside the actual body of the headlamp and wherein the second section is provided with holes through which pass the cables for supplying electricity to the lightbulb in the lamp socket, characterised in that it comprises some cone-shaped parts, the bases of which are faced to said holes for the passage therethrough of said cables.
- In order to facilitate the explanation of this invention, two sheets of drawings are attached to this description, which represent a practical embodiment, which is proposed as a non-limiting example of the scope of this invention.
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lamp socket of the invention, and -
Figure 2 is a side view of the lamp socket. - So
Figure 1 illustrates the lamp socket 1, thefirst section 2 and thesecond section 3 thereof, and the respective ends thereof 2' and 3', the centrallongitudinal axis 4 of symmetry thereof, thegrooves 5 of thefirst section 2, acavity 10 and theholes 8 in the end 3' of thesection 3. -
Figure 2 shows the lamp socket 1,sections longitudinal axis 4 of symmetry thereof, and thegrooves 5 of thesection 2. - In a particular embodiment, and as can be seen in
Figures 1 and2 , the lamp socket 1 of the invention has an elongated, cylindrical constitutional shape, with the twosections longitudinal axis 4 of symmetry. - The
larger diameter section 2 carries the lightbulb attached and positioned in the end 2' of the first section thereof 2. - The cavities 10 (
Figure 1 ) are to anchor the lamp socket in the contrary container, and also to prevent the lamp socket from rotating and this way the lightbulb filament is always arranged in the same position, which is very important to ensure that the correct lighting lux are provided. - The
second section 3 has cone-shaped parts 20, with thebases 21 of said cone-shaped parts facing saidholes 8 for the passage therethrough of said cables. - This means that when the cable is passed therethrough, the watertightness of the wiring is increased, because it is difficult for water and other elements to enter inside
hole 8, and at the same time it acts as a means for attaching the lamp socket and prevents it from moving inside the headlamp. - In this embodiment it has been chosen that the cone-
shaped parts 20 have a frustum of cone shape. This is because, on the one hand, this facilitates said locking action and, on the other hand, prevents water or various agents from being retained inside the cone, in other words, it stops said water or agents from being retained in thetop base 22 of thecone 20 because, as it has a conical shape, said water and agents slide off saidtop base 22. - So the cables are guided inside the lamp socket as far as the
holes 8 and then from thebottom base 21 to thetop base 22 of the frustum of cone-shaped part along apassageway 23 provided for this purpose. - The passageway, which is also to facilitate the watertightness, can have a frustum of cone shape, since the
lower base 24 of the frustum of cone-shaped part of thepassageway 23 lies on thelower base 21 of the cone-shaped part 20 and thepassageway 23 also lies facing thehole 8. - This patent describes a new non-bayonet fitting lamp socket for vehicle headlamps. The examples cited herein do not limit this invention, and therefore said invention can have various applications and/or adaptations, all of which are included within the scope of the following claims.
