- the power supply lines are connected within the base part with electrical connections, which protrude as laterally projecting tabs from the base part and are contacted when inserting the headlight lamp in a headlight housing with housing-side contacts.
- the lamp base of such incandescent lamps has a base part made of plastic, which is welded to a reference ring.
- the reference ring in turn carries an adjusting ring. Both the reference ring and the adjusting ring have radially projecting tabs which bear against one another in the assembled state in the axial direction and are then connected by welding.
- the lamp vessel is inserted into a fixing ring, which in turn is connected by welding to the adjusting ring, wherein a predetermined relative positioning must be adjusted in order to align the incandescent filaments of the headlamp with respect to the reflector, so that an optimal light distribution is ensured.
- the welding between the adjusting ring and the reference ring takes place from the front, ie from the lamp vessel side by means of laser energy. Since the tabs, along which the adjusting ring and reference ring are welded together, protrude radially over the lamp vessel, the melting areas are visible from the front. This often leads customers (car manufacturers) or designers to comment that these refractories would disturb the aesthetic appearance of the headlamp or the entire headlamp. These complaints are not to be underestimated in practice, since with comparable technical quality, visual aspects are the decisive factor for placing an order.
- the invention has for its object to provide a lamp base for a vehicle lamp, a running with such a lamp base vehicle lamp and a method Ren create for the production of a vehicle lamp, which also meet high demands on the aesthetic appearance.
- the lamp base according to the invention for a vehicle lamp has a plastic base part, from which project contact lugs for electrical contacting and which carries a reference ring connected to an adjusting ring.
- a lamp vessel On the adjusting ring a lamp vessel is placed directly or by means of a fixing ring.
- a melting zone of a weld between reference ring and adjusting ring is formed on rear surface sections of these rings facing away from the lamp vessel.
- the lamp vessel is inserted into such a base with not visible from the front melting areas.
- the reference ring and the adjusting ring are preferably first welded by a rear side facing away from the lamp vessel. Subsequently, the unit of reference and adjusting ring is attached to the base part.
- the mounting is Melting areas or welds not visible from the front, so that they do not affect the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle lamp.
- connection of adjusting ring and reference ring is particularly simple if these are each designed with radially projecting tabs along which the welding takes place.
- the tabs formed on the reference ring are preferably designed as reference tabs for positional positioning of the vehicle lamp in a reflector.
- a fixing ring carrying the lamp vessel is placed on the adjusting ring, then the lamp position is adjusted and then the fixing ring is welded to the adjusting ring, so that incandescent filaments arranged in the lamp vessel are aligned exactly with respect to the reflector ,
- a laser welding method is preferably used.

- FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional representation of a vehicle headlamp according to the invention, which is designed as a halogen incandescent lamp 1 of the type H15.
- a halogen incandescent lamp 1 or similar types of lamps (for example Hl, H3, H4 or H7 lamps) is known from the aforementioned prior art, so that only the components essential for understanding the invention are described here ,
- the halogen incandescent lamp 1 has an approximately cylindrical lamp vessel 2, which is inserted into a lamp base 4.
- the lamp vessel 2 is closed at the bottom (view of Figure 1) by a pinch seal 6 and filled with a filling gas containing metal halides in halogen lamps.
- a filling gas containing metal halides in halogen lamps In the case of an H15 lamp, two filaments are arranged in the interior of the lamp vessel 2, which are welded within the pinch seal 6 via molybdenum foils with power supply leads, which are sealingly guided out of the pinch seal 6 and protrude into the lamp base and are welded there with contact elements ,
- the lamp base 4 has a metallic fixing ring 8, in which the pinch seal 6 of the lamp vessel 2 is positively and positively received.
- the fixing ring 8 with a profiling of Crimp seal 6 corresponding clamping recess 10 executed, are arranged in the spring elements for clamping the pinch seal 6 of the lamp vessel 2.
- This fixing ring 8 is welded to an adjusting ring 12, which in turn is connected to a reference ring 14.
- the latter is placed on an existing plastic base part 16 and welded to it.
- Three contact lugs 18, 20, 22 protrude from the base part 16, which come into contact with socket contacts on the lamp reflector when the halogen lamp bulb 1 is inserted into an automobile headlamp, so that the lamp is mechanically held and contacted in the reflector.
- a diagonal web 24 is provided on the base part 16 on the rear side, ie on the end face remote from the lamp vessel 2, so that the torque required for fixing the halogen incandescent lamp 1 can be applied.
- the mounting of the halogen incandescent lamp 1 in the socket of the reflector or the headlight housing is effected by means of a bayonet closure, wherein on the end face of a base flange 26, a spring ring 27 is fixed, which has three obliquely protruding from the spring ring spring tongues 28 which in the installed state of Halogen bulb 1 exert an a- xial directed spring force. Further details of the adjusting ring 12 and the reference ring 14 will be explained with reference to FIGS 2 to 4.
- FIG. 2 shows a three-dimensional view of the reference ring 14 carrying the adjusting ring 12 in a view seen from the base part 16.
- the reference ring 14 has a flanged end face 30 facing the base part 16, on which a plurality of radially inwardly NEN protruding projections 32 is formed.
- two indentations 34 are provided on the circumferential wall of the reference ring 14 which take account of any burr on the edge of the lamp mounting opening of the headlamp, as disclosed, for example, in EP 1 006 550 A1.
- a multiply angled pressure spring 36 is fixed, which, with a nose 38 bent in a V-shape, passes through a window in the circumferential wall of the reference ring 14.
- This nose 38 is at the onset of the halogen bulb 1 resiliently against an inner peripheral wall of the socket and contributes to the position positioning.
- the above-mentioned projections 32 form a toothing, via which the position positioning and welding of the reference ring 14 on the base part 26 is facilitated.
- reference lugs 40, 42 and 44 are formed at the end portion of the reference ring 14 facing the adjusting ring 12 .
- These reference tabs 40, 42, 44 are designed so that a predetermined installation position is ensured within the socket when inserting the halogen incandescent lamp 1, these reference tabs 40, 42, 44 abut corresponding reference surfaces of the socket and thus the axial position and the rotational angular position determine.
- the reference ring 14 can be produced, for example, by a deep drawing process.
- the adjusting ring 12 is placed on the reference ring 14. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, at the peripheral edge pointing to the reference ring 14, three holes are formed. see 48, 50, 52 trained.
- the geometry of the tabs 48, 50 is adapted to that of the reference tabs 40, 42, 44, so that in the illustrated installation position the tabs 40, 42, 44 and 48, 50, 52 overlap each other in pairs and lie flat against each other (see in particular FIG 4). After this relative positioning of the two rings 12, 14, these are welded together along the flaps 40, 42, 44, 48, 50.
- FIG. 3 which shows a front view of the lamp vessel 2 on the halogen incandescent lamp 1 according to the invention
- the punctiform welds 54, 56 are not visible from the front, so that the aesthetic appearance is not disturbed.
- the welds are in each case at the front of the aforementioned tabs and would therefore be seen in a representation GE measure Figure 3 visible.
- the melting areas of the welds 54, 56 are virtually invisible, so that the excellent function of the halogen incandescent lamp 1 is accompanied by a high-quality appearance.
- the reference ring 14 is inserted in sections into a receptacle 58 (see FIGS. 1 and 5) of the base part 16 provided with the spring ring 27 and, for example, connected by high frequency welding.
- the lamp vessel 2 is, as described above, inserted into the fixing ring 8.
- This preassembled unit is then placed on the free, radially recessed end portion 60 (see Figure 4) of the adjusting ring 12 and adjusted according to Figure 1, so that the filaments are arranged in a predetermined axial and rotational angular position.
- the fixing ring 8 is then connected in its adjusted position by means of laser welding with the adjusting ring 12.
- FIG. 5 shows the unit comprising the adjusting ring 12 and the reference ring 14 after welding to the base part 16.
- the diagonal bar 24 is designed with a removable closure part which, in the illustration according to FIG you can see. This closure part releases a recess through which said power supply lines can be welded to the ends of the contact lugs 18, 20, 22. After this welding, the closure piece is inserted, so that the diagonal web 24 extends over the entire diameter of the base flange 26.
- a mounting receptacle of the reflector or the housing is between the reference tabs 40, 42, 44 and the spring tongues 28, so that the lamp is fixed in the axial direction.
