Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to improvements in lamps, especially ultraviolet lamps used in air and water purifiers, as well as lamps used in specialty applications including dedicated application, compact fluorescent and specialty fluorescent lamps.
  • Ultraviolet air or liquid purifiers are known for disinfecting contaminated air or water or other liquid for domestic or commercial use. Such purifiers include at least one lamp for emitting ultraviolet radiation into a chamber through which contaminated air or liquid flows in order to kill organisms therein.
  • Dedicated application lamps are those designed primarily for a single application. Specialty lamps are designed for, but not limited to, subminiature, reflector, cold cathode and/or electrodeless lamps. Germcidal lamps also fall within the specialty lamp definition. In a conventional manner, these lamps include two electrodes spaced apart and located within an elongated arc tube containing a gas, most commonly a noble gas, with or without additives. A pair of end caps is mounted at the ends of the tube.
  • Each electrode contains two lead wires from the lamp seal each of which, or in some instances only one, are electrically connected to respective contact(s) or terminal pin(s).
  • the lamp is typically inserted endwise into a sleeve installed in the water, other liquid or air with or without the sleeve.
  • the pins are conveniently mounted on one or both of the end caps.
  • lamps There are many different types of lamps that have a base or end cap that can be connected with a socket to provide electrical connections to the lamps.
  • the end cap and socket must be constructed to permit replacement of the lamp while securely holding the lamp. This may be particularly important in certain applications where vibration or movement of the lamp or lamp fixture could result in unintentional separation between the lamp's end cap and the socket. Additionally, the electrical connections must remain secure.
  • the contact pins may become misaligned or bent due to their extension or projection from the base of the lamp, preventing their insertion into a socket. It may also be possible to insert the end cap into a socket such that the contacts are not connected with the proper terminals in the socket, resulting in improper operation of the lamp. Also, on a typical "slide into place" male/female pin connector there is no locking or twist locking and thus the pins may slide out and become disconnected easily by vibration for example.
  • U.S. Patent 5,166,527 ( ⁇ 527), which uses a stepped base with a multi-pin connector, and shows well known water and air purification arrangements using a lamp.
  • the ⁇ 527 patent discloses a lamp or bulb, used as an ultraviolet lamp for use in an air or water purifier, comprising an elongated, hollow arc tube extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite end regions.
  • the tube contains a gas, most commonly a noble gas with or without additives.
  • a pair of electrodes is spaced apart along the longitudinal axis.
  • the electrodes are respectively mounted within the arc tube at the end regions thereof.
  • a pair of end caps is respectively mounted at the end regions of the arc tube.
  • a first electrical contact or pair of electrical contacts or terminal pins extends in mutual parallelism along the longitudinal axis and is electrically connected to one or both of the electrode lead wires.
  • a second electrical contact or pair of electrical contacts or terminal pins extends in mutual parallelism along the longitudinal axis and is electrically connected to one or both of the other of the electrode lead wires. Both pairs of pins are mounted on, and extend outwardly along the longitudinal axis of, one of the end caps.
  • a wire conductor is, or two wire conductors are, located exteriorly of the tube and electrically connected to one pin or one pair of pins at one end region of the tube, as well as to the electrode at the other end region of the tube. This design is mainly designed to prevent electrical arcing and does not lock in place,
  • WO 2008/039448 discloses also a safety lamp connector assembly for use with at least one of more lamps which may include: an end cap for the lamp and having end cap clips; an intermediate snap action socket body for receiving the end cap; a socket base comprising: resilient clip arms with clip section on their ends which snap clips to the end cap clips with the intermediate snap action socket body located between the end cap and the socket base.
  • lamps of proper wattage be used for safety, heat, and fire concerns, thus a unique keying system which only allows lamps of proper wattage to be inserted into the base will also help safety.
  • a safety lamp device particularly for a radiation lamp, which will provide a reliable, locking, and secure from movement electric connection, yet be relatively inexpensive, uncomplicated, durable, rugged, and simple to implement with smooth operation and with reduced force and stress on the lamp for safety purposes. Also, a lamp connector that reduces the chance of electrical shock is needed for safety purposes.
  • end cap may include an end cap body that is tubular in shape, an end cap face provided at a first end of the end cap body, a plurality of end cap terminals provided on the end cap face, and a clip notch provided on an exterior side of the end cap body.
  • the second end of the end cap body may be open and structured to receive the lamp therein.
  • a least an embodiment of a socket may include a socket body that is generally tubular in shape, a socket face provided at a first end of the socket body, a receiving wall extending from an outer periphery of the socket face and extending in a direction away from the socket body, a plurality of socket terminals provided on the socket, and a resilient clip provided on an inner side of the receiving wall.
  • terminal can mean, but is not limited to, an active terminal or a passive "dummy" terminal.
  • lamp can refer to compact fluorescent lamps, or Ultra -Violet(UV) lamps, among other lamps suitable for the claimed apparatus.
  • the apparatus described herein is useful in air and water purification systems, among other applications.
  • Figure 1 shows one possible embodiment of the claimed apparatus disassembled into its constituent parts.
  • the snap lock connector can include an end cap 100, a socket body 200, and a socket base 300.
  • end cap 100 in this embodiment can have a hollow tubular body into which a lamp can be inserted.
  • end cap 100 can have a number of interior contacts 122. These contacts are electrically connected to end cap pins 120, shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • End cap pins 120 extend from closed end 102 of end cap 100 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of end cap 100.
  • End cap 100 can also have end cap hole 130 for receiving a socket pin 230, as described below.
  • end cap 100 can have at least one end cap clip 110.
  • end cap 100 has two end cap clips 110 disposed opposite of each other on the outer circumference of closed end 102.
  • the clips do not have to be located opposite each other or symmetrically disposed; one can easily conceive of alternatives in which the clips are asymmetrically disposed on closed end 102 of end cap 100.
  • End cap clips 110 comprise three main parts, the clip leg 116, a slanted pushing face 112, and a flat locking face 114.
  • Clip legs 116 extend from the closed end 102 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the end cap 100.
  • Flat locking face 114 extends perpendicular from clip leg 116.
  • Slanted pushing face 112 extends from the end of flat locking face 114 to the terminal end of clip leg 116.
  • socket body 200 is a generally cylindrical body. Socket body 200 has two ends, an insertion end 202 and a base end 204. Socket body 200 also has a number of socket channels 210 running through the entire length of a socket body 200. Socket channels 210 are lined with electrically conductive material or otherwise configured so that a pin or wire contacting one end of socket channel 210 will automatically be in electrical contact with the other end of socket channel 210.
  • End cap pins 120 can be inserted into socket channels 210 at the insertion end 202 of socket body 200. Because socket channels 210 are electrically conductive as described above, inserting end cap pins 120 into socket channels 210 will make end cap pins 120 electrically connected to the end of socket channels 210 opening on the base end 204 of socket body 200.
  • Socket body 200 may also include a socket pin 230.
  • Socket pin 230 can insert into end cap hole 130 at the same time that end cap pins 120 are inserted into socket channels 210.
  • Socket pin 230 can be used as a guide for proper insertion of end cap pins 120 into socket channels 210, or as a means of deterring the use of counterfeit, copied, or generic parts which may be unsafe. For example, authorized parts may be of the wrong or excessive wattage rating and/or manufactured poorly.
  • Socket body 200 can also include at least one clip slot 220.
  • Clip slot 220 is a groove cut into the side of socket body 200 and extends from insertion end 202 to base end 204. Generally, the number of clip slots 220 will correspond to the number of end cap clips 110. Clips slots 220 are aligned with end cap clips 110.
  • socket body 200 can also include a screw hole 214.
  • Screw hole 214 receives a screw that attaches socket base 300 to socket body 200, as described below.
  • socket base 300 comprises two main parts, a socket base plate 302 and clip arms 320. Socket base 300 can be attached to base end 204 of socket body 200.
  • Socket base plate 302 can be round in shape and having a certain thickness dimension.
  • a screw 304 can extend through socket base plate 302 for attaching the socket base 300 to the socket body 200.
  • Socket base plate 302 also has a number of socket base holes 306 that align with socket channels 210 of socket body 200. As shown in Fig. 1 , "wires" or other power source connections can be inserted through socket base holes 306, and then can be electrically connected to socket channels 210. Therefore, "wires” can be electrically connected to end cap pins 120 through socket channels 210.
  • Clip arms 320 are disposed along the outer circumference socket base plate 302 and extend generally perpendicular to socket base plate 302. Clip arms 320 are aligned with clips slots 220 when socket base 300 is attached to socket body 200. Clip arms 320 can include a pressure area 322 and a clip section 316. Clip arms 320 are flexible and resilient and flex inward toward a longitudinal axis of socket base 300 when pressure is applied to pressure areas 322.
  • Clip section 310 is similar in structure to end cap clips 110.
  • Clip section 310 includes a clip leg 316, flat locking face 314, and slanted pushing face 312.
  • Flat locking face extends perpendicular to clip legs 316.
  • Slanted pushing face 312 extends from the end of flat locking face 314 to the terminal end of clip leg 316.
  • socket base 300 can be attached to socket body 200, creating socket assembly 400 and attached with a screw, as seen in Figure 11 .
  • socket clip sections 310 are hidden inside of clip slots 220. Pressure areas 322 remain outside the circumference of the socket body 200.
  • end cap pins 120 can be inserted into socket channels 210.
  • slanted pushing face 112 of end cap clip 110 enters the clips slot 220 and comes into contact with slanted pushing face 312 of clip section 310.
  • the slanted pushing face 112 pushes against slanted pushing face 312, causing the clip arm 320 to displace inward towards a longitudinal axis of socket assembly 400.
  • FIGS. 6a and 6b illustrate one embodiment of the end cap 100 inserted into socket assembly 400.
  • end cap 100 To release end cap 100 from socket assembly 400, one would press on pressure areas 322. This would displace clip section 310 such that flat locking face 314 would no longer be in contact with flat locking face 114. With nothing to press against flat locking face 114, end cap 100 can be removed from socket assembly 400 very easily. After removing end cap 100, pressure on pressure areas 322 can be released, and clip section 310 will return to its original position.
  • this present snap locking operation apparatus overcomes the problems of the prior art discussed in the background at least because the lamp may be easily secured with minimal force, i.e., a "snap action" in contrast to a much more "difficult depress with more force and turn” two step motion of US 6,334,902 , or harder torque force required of 6,884,103 , and will lock into place and remain secure even under vibration, such as vibration from water or air flowing through a disinfection apparatus to be disinfected even when hung vertically. It is also much smoother to operate than WO 2006/136026 for example and does not require to be inserted at an odd an awkward angle like WO 2006/136026 . Thus, the present invention is also not merely a common sense improvement of the prior art at least because it requires many subtle features to be recognized and used in harmony, as described herein, which the prior art has not recognized to date, and has also not obviously been led to perform by common sense.
  • the present invention also is very safe because the electrical contacts 210 in the socket are difficult to reach with a finger, i.e., they are tucked away in a safe position from the user.
  • another safety problem with the prior art approaches is the complexity of the mechanical connection between the lamp and the base unit requiring the use of complex shaped springs, specialized connection lugs and the like.
  • a connection system that is predicated on a dual motion system such that if hard force pushing and twisting if used incorrectly for example may give rise to higher incidents of lamp breakage, electrical shock, and other damage to the lamp by field personal.
  • an end cap may include an end cap body 500 that is generally tubular in shape.
  • the end cap body 500 can be covered at a first end with an end cap face 504, and a second end of the end cap body is open and structured to receive a lamp 650.
  • a plurality of end cap terminals 510 can be provided on end cap face 504, and provide electrical connections to the lamp 650 positioned inside end cap body 500.
  • the embodiment of Figures 16-31 show that end cap terminals 510 are pin connectors, but alternative embodiments in which end cap terminals 510 are female connectors or other suitable connectors are also possible.
  • a clip notch 502 can also be provided on an exterior side of the end cap body, and can interlock with a clip described in more detail below.
  • An embodiment of a socket includes a socket body 600 that is generally tubular in shape, and a socket face 632 covers a first end of the tubular socket body 600.
  • a receiving wall 604 is positioned at an outer periphery of socket face 632 and extends in a direction away from socket body 600 to form a receiving area 602.
  • Receiving wall 604 may have a circumference larger than a circumference of end cap body 500.
  • end cap body 500 can be received within receiving wall 604.
  • a plurality of socket terminals 610 may be provided on socket face 632.
  • the embodiments of Figures 16-31 show that socket terminals are female connectors, but alternative embodiments in which socket terminals 610 are pin connectors or other suitable connectors are also possible.
  • the socket can also be provided with a resilient clip 606 provided within a channel 608 (reference numeral 655 indicates the interior portion of channel 608).
  • Resilient clip 606 can be provided on an inner side of the receiving wall, and is structured to interlock with clip notch 502. Resilient clip 606 is an important safety feature because it helps to hold the end cap seated firmly in place, thus reducing the risk of electric shock, fire, injury, or property damage if the lamp were to become accidentally disconnected.
  • the socket may also include a socket base 620 provided with exterior wiring holes 616 so that electrical connections can be established between socket terminals 610 and a power source
  • socket terminals 610 and end cap terminals 510 can be arranged asymmetrically. In the embodiment shown, the asymmetry is caused because one terminal is out of line with the others.
  • the reference letter "P" indicates possible positions of end cap terminals 510. It will be understood that these terminal positions P are not the only possible arrangements, and that a large number of suitable arrangements are possible. This asymmetric arrangement of terminals helps to insure proper connection because the end cap can only be fully inserted into the socket in one orientation.
  • the end cap can be provided with a step portion 520 that extends from the end cap face 504. As seen in Figure 26 , at least one end cap terminal 510 can extend from step portion 520.
  • the complementary socket will include a recess portion 630 that can accommodate step portion 520.
  • Recess portion 630 will include at least one socket terminal 610 to correspond to the one or more end cap terminals 510 positioned on step portion 520. It is readily seen that an end cap with step portion 520 cannot be used with a standard socket that does not include a recess portion. Therefore, step portion 520 helps to insure that the end cap will only be used with a properly mated socket.
  • Figures 16-31 show an embodiment with a single step portion 520 having two end cap terminals 510, it will be understood that many different variations are possible.
  • Figures 33-40 illustrate at least some of these possible variations, and Figure 32 illustrates a conventional example of a standard 2 G-11 base for the sake of comparison.
  • the size and the position of the step portion can be varied.
  • Figure 34 shows a step portion 520 that is shifted to one end of the end of end cap face 504 instead of being positioned in the middle.
  • Figure 35 shows a smaller step portion 520 shifted to one end
  • Figure 39 shows a smaller step portion 520 positioned in the middle.
  • Figure 38 shows a larger step portion 520.
  • step portion 520 there are variations in which one end cap terminal 510 (see Figures 35 and 39 ) or three end cap terminals 510 (see Figure 38 ) are provided on step portion 520. It will be understood that for any of these variations, the corresponding socket with have appropriately sized and positioned recess portions 630.
  • step portions 520 can be used, as seen in Figures 36, 37 , and 40 , with each step portion 520 having one or more end cap terminals 510 positioned thereon.
  • end cap When using an end cap with multiple step portions 520, it will be understood that the corresponding socket will have multiple recess portions 630 corresponding to the multiple step portions 520.
  • FIG. 30 shows key ribs 660 that project from receiving wall 604, and Figures 28-29 show key grooves 560 cut into the end cap body 500.
  • key ribs 660 will couple with key grooves 560 and the end cap can be fully inserted into the socket. If the end cap and socket are misaligned, key ribs 660 will abut with end cap body 500 and prevent full insertion of the end cap.
  • key ribs 660 can be positioned at different positions around receiving wall 604, and key ribs 660 can be shaped as triangles, semi-circles, or any other possible shape.
  • Key grooves 560 on the end cap can be similarly varied.
  • key ribs 660 can instead be positioned to project into recess area 630, and the corresponding key grooves 560 can be formed in the step portion 520 of the end cap.
  • key grooves 662 can be cut into socket face 632, and key ribs 562 can be provided on the side of step portion 520.
  • key ribs and key grooves can be mixed on the same piece.
  • one part of a step portion 520 may have a key rib 562, while a different part of the step portion 520 may have a key groove 560.
  • the end cap has both key ribs and key grooves.
  • key grooves 560 and key ribs 562 can be greatly varied.
  • reference letter "K" indicates at least some possible alternate positions of key groove 560. These positions are not the only possible positions, however.
  • key grooves 560 can also be positioned on the short side of step portion 520, or any other suitable position.
  • key ribs 562 can also be positioned at any number of potential positions around step portion 520. The corresponding key ribs 660 and key grooves 662 on the socket can also be moved to accommodate the arrangement of the keys on the end cap.
  • the alignment features described above can ensure that there is only one possible way for an end cap to fit into the socket. This is an important safety feature because it prevents the end cap terminals 510 from mistakenly being connected to the wrong polarity of a power source, for example, which could damage the lamp.
  • the alignment features described above can help to prevent damage to lamps by ensuring proper coupling.
  • an appropriate socket may have a given configuration of key ribs or grooves or recess portions, and unless the end cap is a properly corresponding end cap that has complementary key ribs, key grooves, and/or step portions, the end cap cannot be coupled to the socket.
