Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wedge-base bulb socket, of the type normally used to produce the lighting equipment of a motor vehicle or motorcycle.
- the present invention relates to a wedge-base bulb socket of the type normally used in the construction of the front or rear lights of motor vehicles, motorcycles or similar, to which the following description specifically refers without this implying any loss of generality.
- the present invention also relates to an automotive light for motor vehicles or similar comprising said socket.
- These special incandescent light bulbs are traditionally called wedge-base light bulbs, because the terminal head or plug is usually made in one piece with the glass bulb that houses the filament, and they clearly require special sockets that are specifically structured so to hold the wedge-shaped head or plug of the light bulb in place in rigidly and firmly, though easily removable manner, ensuring at the same time the electric current supply to the filament of the light bulb.
- the wedge-base bulb sockets that are mounted in front or rear automotive lights generally consist of a plastic-material supporting plate or base which is generally incorporated into the rear body of the automotive light, and is provided with a coupling seat shaped to house the terminal head or plug of the wedge-base light bulb; and of two tongue clamp connectors which are housed on the bottom of the coupling seat, and are structured so as to embrace and grip two separate portions of the head or plug of the wedge-base light bulb, in order to hold the head or plug of the light bulb firmly in the coupling seat.
- the two tongue clamp connectors are made of metal, and are structured so as to permanently touch the two rheophores which emerge from the terminal head of the wedge-base light bulb; and the socket is also provided with two metal straps, i.e. made of an electrically conductive material, which are structured so to electrically connect the two tongue clamp connectors to the motor-vehicle electric circuit, or rather to the electric circuit arranged on the body of the automotive light and which, in turn, is connected to the motor-vehicle electric circuit.
- the two electric feeding straps are even structured so as to connect the two tongue clamp connectors to the electric circuit on the rear body of the front or rear automotive light, and at the same time so as to hold the two tongue clamp connectors on the bottom of the coupling seat realized in the supporting base.
- the vibrations and jolting occurring during the normal use of the vehicle can cause the wedge-base light bulb to become misaligned with respect to the optical axis of the light reflector, with the subsequent deterioration of the quality of the light beam emitted by the automotive light, or even cause the light bulb to come right out of the coupling seat, making the automotive light completely useless.
- Some automotive lights manufacturers have at least partially overcome this problem by providing the wedge-base bulb sockets with an additional centering sleeve structured so as to be removably fitted/connected to the entrance of the coupling seat realized in the supporting base.
- This removable sleeve is also structured to grip the neck that joins the glass bulb to the plug, so to hold the wedge-base light bulb always in the right position inside the coupling seat, i.e. perfectly coaxial with the optical axis of the reflector which is suited to project/direct outwards the light of the light bulb.
- the additional centering sleeve is provided with a number of projecting centering tongues which sticks out from the upper perimetrical rim of the sleeve, and which are suited to abut against the neck of the glass bulb when the wedge-base light bulb is correctly inserted in the socket, inside the centering sleeve.
- the removable centering sleeve must be made of a plastic material having extremely good heat resistance properties and which is, thus, more valuable and expensive than the material generally used to make the supporting base of the socket, with the resulting significant increase in the production and assembly costs.
- the socket with additional centering sleeve cannot house wedge-base light bulbs of different sizes, because the additional centering sleeve is structured to surround and support only one specific model of wedge-base light bulb.
- Aim of the present invention is to produce a wedge-base bulb socket which is cheap to manufacture, which enables the correct centering and supporting of the wedge-base light bulb even in difficult vehicle operating conditions, and which finally meets international requirements for light sources, in particular for automotive lights.
- Further aim of the present invention is to provide a wedge-base bulb socked capable of receiving/housing wedge-base light bulbs of different sizes.
- a wedge-base bulb socket structured for supporting a light bulb having a glass bulb which ends in a substantially wedge-shaped plug housing the ends of the two rheophores which feed electric current to the filament housed inside the bulb; the wedge-base bulb socket comprising:

- the two lateral centering and coupling lugs 15 are preferably, though not necessarily, arch bended towards the centre of coupling seat 21, so as to jut out above the coupling and connecting members 3, and so as to form an arch-shaped jaw 5 which defines a circumference which is coordinated/complementary to the circumference of the light-bulb neck 32, so as to embrace and clamp the neck 32 of the wedge-base light bulb 30 fitted into socket 10.
- the two lateral centering and coupling lugs 15 have a flexible structure, and form a one piece with the corresponding electric supply metal strip 14.
- each pair of lateral lugs 15 protrude from the lateral sides of the corresponding electric supply metal strip 14, right by the upper end of the internal branch 14a of said metal strip 14.
- each metal strip 14 is preferably, though not necessarily, made of tinned surface coated bronze for springs, coppered and tinned hardened steel for springs, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, or another metal suitable for the purpose.
- each connecting member 3 consists of a pair of parallel and reciprocally facing fastening and contacting tongues 13 which are made of an electrically conductive metal material, and are arranged parallel and faced one another so as to form the two jaws of a clamp having a shape complementary to that of the plug 31 of the wedge-based bulb 30.
- the two fastening and contacting tongues 13 are also reciprocally joined in an elastically deformable manner, so as to embrace and grip the plug 31 located in the coupling seat 21, and are located on the bottom of the coupling seat 21 so as to be locally substantially parallel to the internal surface of the coupling seat 21, and locally substantially parallel to and facing the two tongues 13 that form the other coupling and connecting member 3.
- each tongue 13 of connecting member 3 has, starting from the bottom of coupling seat 21, a lower portion which is locally substantially parallel to the corresponding lower portion of the other tongue 13 of connecting member 3; an intermediate portion locally converging towards the corresponding intermediate portion of the other tongue 13 of the connecting member 3; and an upper portion locally diverging from the corresponding upper portion of the other tongue 13 of the coupling and connecting member 3.
- each connecting member 3 is also connected to the lower end of the internal branch 14a of the corresponding electric supply metal strip 14, at the lower portion thereof.
- each coupling and connecting member 3 are in one piece with the internal branch 14a of the electric supply metal strip 14, and are thus made of the same material as the two electric supply metal strips 14, and the relative lateral centering and coupling lugs 15.
- each coupling and connecting member 3 are also preferably, though not necessarily, made of tinned surface coated bronze for springs, coppered and tinned hardened steel for springs, stainless steel, phosphor bronze, or another metal suitable for the purpose.
- the electric supply metal strip 14, the lateral lugs 15 that form the jaw 5 of the metal plate, and the two tongues 13 forming the coupling and connecting member 3 integral with the strip 14, can be made in one piece, for example, by means of a single shearing and cold press moulding process, thus cutting production costs and times.
- the plug 31 of the light bulb 30 is inserted into coupling seat 21 with a movement parallel to the axis A of the coupling seat 21, in order to reach the coupling members 3 from above.
- the centering and clamping lugs 15 act both as centering elements during the insertion of the light bulb 30, and as stabilizers to hold the light bulb 30 firmly in place in the socket 10 in case of vibrations. Moreover, being made of a material having a high heat dispersion capacity, the two additional supporting jaws 5 (i.e. the lateral lugs 15 present on the electric supply metal strips 14) are capable, when the light bulb is powered, of absorbing heat from the neck 32 of the light bulb, and of dissipating it into the surrounding environment without transmitting it, or limiting ins transmission to the supporting base 11 beneath.
- socket 10 is more economical to produce than the wedge-base bulb sockets provided with an additional centering sleeve, while offering an equal or grater resistance to mechanical vibrations than that offered by conventional wedge-base bulb sockets provided with an additional centering sleeve.
- the use of a high thermal conductivity metal to produce the jaws 5 allows a large amount of the heat produced by the light bulb 30 to be dissipated into the environment, thus reducing the risk of permanent deformation of the supporting base 11 due to excessive heat absorption during operation.
- the greater ability to dissipate the heat produced by the light bulb 30 results in the use of lower grade plastic materials for the production of supporting base 11.
- supporting and clamping jaws 5, i.e. the lugs 15 which juts out from the two lateral sides of the metal strip 14, can be dimensioned in order to achieve sufficient flexibility to adapt themselves to wedge-base light bulbs of different sizes.
- the shape of the fastening and contact tongues 13 of the coupling members 3 may differ from those described and illustrated herein, depending on the different types of light bulb.
- each electric supply metal strips 14 can be provided with a single centering and clamping lug 15, jutting out from said metal strip.
- the lugs 15 of the two metal strips 14 are arranged on opposite sides of the entrance of the coupling seat 21, defining two diametrically opposed portions of the circumference of the light-bulb neck 32.
- socket 10 is described herein with reference to certain specific examples, the man skilled in the art will be able to produce many other equivalent forms of a wedge-base bulb socket, having the features set forth in the claims and thus falling within the scope of this invention.
