  • the term “abutting against” herein refers to a joining of a first elem ent to a second elem ent, the joining extending up to a point of the second elem ent, the joining making contact with said point of the second element or wherein between the joining and said point of the second elem ent there is a gap of at most 3m m , preferably at most 2m m , more preferably at most 1 m m and even more preferably at most 0.5m m .
  • Placing around” in this document refers to a first elem ent which hides a second elem ent from view but does not necessarily m ake contact to do so. I t will be apparent to one skilled in the art that a first elem ent m ay be positioned around a second elem ent sim ultaneously as it may abut with the second elem ent.
  • the invention relates in a first aspect to a housing for receiving a lamp base.
  • the housing comprises a holder and a collar.
  • the collar is placed around at least part of the cylindrical shell of the holder, and the collar is movable in the direction of the axis of the cylindrical shell.
  • the collar comprises a cylindrical shell with an open end. The diameter of the open end is preferably greater than the diameter of the neck of the lamp.
  • a lamp which is screwed into the holder, comprises a base with Edison screw thread.
  • the lamp further comprises a neck and bulb, the neck being located between the base and the bulb.
  • the neck of the lamp is a part that often houses a control for a light source in the bulb. Depending on the light source used, the control can change in dimensions. This also affects the dimensions of the neck of the lamp. This can therefore occur with different widths and lengths. This is also the case for the shape of the bulb.
  • the neck is not an aesthetic element of the lamp and is best concealed. Neither the neck nor the bulb are standardized.
  • a holder according to the present embodiment is advantageous because the collar can be moved over the holder in the direction of the lamp, so that it abuts with one end against the bulb of the lamp or abuts with the bulb of the lamp with a minimal gap. As a result, the lamp is better supported, the lamp is less prone to breaking off and the neck of the lamp is invisible, so that only the aesthetic element of the lamp, the bulb, is visible. It is also advantageous that the collar, due to its cylindrical shell, can abut against the bulb of the lamp or abut with the bulb of the lamp over different types of necks, as long as the neck of the lamp is smaller than the diameter of the collar.
  • the holder comprises an external screw thread on the cylindrical shell.
  • the collar comprises a complementary screw thread on a side facing the holder, wherein the external and the complementary screw thread have the same pitch, but a different m inor diameter. Due to the deviating minor diameters, there is play between the external screw thread of the holder and the complementary screw thread of the collar.
  • a characteristic of the Edison screw thread on the base of the lamp is that there is play between the diameter of the base of the lamp and the diameter of the opening in the holder. Due to the second contact point in the holder, it is possible that the lamp will be visually slanted in the holder when screwing in the lamp.
  • An advantage of the play between the holder and the collar is that the collar can be positioned obliquely relative to the holder and as a result, after the collar has been moved until it abuts against or with a minimal gap at the bulb of the lamp, the collar is aligned perpendicular to the bulb of the lamp. The collar is therefore positioned obliquely on the holder at an angle equal to the angle between the lamp and the holder.
  • the minor diameter of the external thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder is at least 98.1% and at most 99.0% of the minor diameter of the complementary thread of the collar.
  • the minor diameter of the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder is at least 98.2% of the minor diameter of the complementary screw thread of the collar, more preferably at least 98.3%, even more preferably at least 98.4% and even more preferably at least 98.5%.
  • the minor diameter of the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder is at most 98.9% of the minor diameter of the complementary screw thread of the collar, more preferably at most 98.8%, even more preferably at most 98.7% and even more preferably at most 98.6%.
  • a minor diameter of the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder within this range has sufficient play to position the collar obliquely relative to the holder so that after displacement the collar abuts against the bulb of the lamp or abuts with the bulb of the lamp with a minimal gap and the play is not too great, so that the collar cannot be moved to near or against the bulb with sufficient precision, so that in a number of cases a large gap would arise.
  • the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell has a minor diameter of at least 37.5 mm and at most 38.2 mm.
  • the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell preferably has a diameter of at most 38.1 mm, more preferably at most 38.0 mm and even more preferably at most 37.9 mm.
  • the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell preferably has a diameter of at least 37.6 mm, more preferably at least 37.7 mm and even more preferably at least 37.8 mm.
  • a minor diameter of the external thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder within this range is suitable for a holder for a lamp with an E27 base.
  • the housing comprises a retention ring, the retention ring being placed around the cylindrical shell of the holder.
  • the retention ring comprises a complementary screw thread on a side facing the holder.
  • the complementary screw thread is complementary to external screw thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder as in a previously described embodiment.
  • This complementary screw thread has a minor diameter which is at least 1 .3% and at most 2.1 % larger than the minor diameter of the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder.
  • the minor diameter of the complementary screw thread is preferably at least 1 .4% larger than the m inor diameter of the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder, more preferably at least 1 .5% and even more preferably at least 1 .6% .
  • the m inor diameter of the complementary screw thread is preferably at most 2.0% larger than the m inor diameter of the external screw thread on the cylindrical shell of the holder, more preferably at most 1 .9% and even more preferably at most 1 .8% .
  • the retention ring is advantageous because the collar, which abuts against the bulb of the lamp or abuts with the bulb of the lamp with a minimal gap, can be secured so that the collar can no longer move by itself.
  • the play between the retention ring and the holder is also advantageous for absorbing the play between the collar and holder. As a result, the retention ring makes contact with the collar around the entire circumference.
  • the collar comprises a cup-shaped edge at one end, the cup-shaped edge abutting with the neck of the lamp or abutting against the bulb of the lamp.
  • the cup-shaped edge abuts with the neck of the lamp and abuts against the bulb of the lamp.
  • Ordinary lamps have a neck between the base and the bulb of the lamp. Like the collar, many of the lamps on the market have a cup-shaped neck. An advantage of such a cup-shaped edge is that it has a shape which is broadly similar to that of the neck of the lamp. As a result, the lamp is also supported at the neck by the collar, so that a lamp is even less sensitive to breaking.
  • the cup-shaped edge of the collar abuts with the neck of the lamp with a gap between the cup-shaped edge and the neck or the bulb of the lamp, which is at most 2 mm .
  • the gap between the cup-shaped edge and the neck or bulb is preferably at most 1 .8mm , more preferably at most 1 .6m m , even more preferably at most 1 .4mm and even more preferably 1 .2m m .
  • the cup-shaped edge of the collar abuts with the neck of the lamp with a gap between the cup-shaped edge and the neck or the bulb of the lamp, which is at least one 0.1 mm .
  • the gap between the cup-shaped edge and the neck or bulb is preferably at least 0.3mm , more preferably at least 0.4m m , even more preferably at least 0.6m m and even more preferably 0.9m m .
  • the collar has a maximum diameter of 57mm . Because the collar is dimensioned with a maximum diameter of 57mm it is thus possible to fit over the necks of the most com mon lamps available on the market.
  • the bases of lamps available with an Edison thread on the shell of the base have a typical diameter between 14- 40m m .
  • E5 with a base diameter of 5m m
  • E10 with a base diameter of 10mm
  • E12 with a base diameter of 12m m
  • E14 with a base diameter of 14-17m m
  • E17 with a base diameter of 14-17mm
  • E26 with a base diameter of 25-26mm
  • E27 with a base diameter of 25-26m m
  • E27 with a base diameter of 26-27mm
  • E40 with a base diameter of 40mm .
  • a sealing ring is placed between the collar and the neck of the lamp.
  • This sealing ring is preferably an elastic material, more preferably rubber. As a result, the sealing ring fits completely between the edge of the collar and the neck of the lamp. The sealing ring forms a watertight and dust- tight seal between the collar of the lamp and the glass of the lamp.
  • This sealing ring prevents dust and moisture from penetrating between the base of the lamp and the holder. This is particularly advantageous for safety as it prevents sparking and thus fire.
  • Another advantage is that the housing can be used in a damp room such as the bathroom . Due to the waterproof properties, it is therefore not possible for moisture to get between the base of the lamp and the holder. As a result, this is a protection against short circuit, electrocution, and possible power loss.
  • a sealing ring of elastic material is particularly advantageous in combination with a previously described embodiment in which the collar comprises a cup-shaped edge, in that the sealing ring takes over the cup shape and forms a guaranteed seal.
  • the collar comprises on a side facing away from the holder an attachment means for fastening the collar in the housing.
  • attachment means could be a leaf spring, a compression spring, a bolt connection, a magnet, and an annular coil spring.
  • the holder is held in the housing by means of the collar. Because the holder is held in the housing by means of the collar, the holder can be positioned obliquely relative to the bulb of the lamp, while the collar, the housing and the bulb are aligned straight with respect to each other. This prevents the bulb of the lamp and the housing from being visually oblique to each other.
  • the attachment means is an annular coil spring, wherein the annular coil spring is positioned in a sem icircular recess around the circumference of the collar.
  • the annular loops of the coil spring are positioned at an angle of 40° to 70° relative to the axis of the annular shape. This causes the loops of the annular coil spring under pressure to move closer to the axis of the annular shape, allowing the annular coil spring to assume a flat annular shape.
  • the semicircular recess in the collar has a radius at least equal to the radius of the loops of the spiral shape in the annular coil spring.
  • the annular coil spring is releasably located in the semicircular recess of the collar.
  • the diameter of the annular shape of the annular coil spring is preferably smaller than the diameter of the collar at the level of the semicircular recess in the collar. This has the advantage that the annular coil spring is under tension in the recess of the collar so that it remains in place and cannot slip off.
  • the housing comprises a semicircular recess on a side facing the collar.
  • the semicircular recess in the housing has a radius at least equal to the radius of the loops of the spiral shape in the annular coil spring.
  • the semicircular recess in the housing is annular.
  • the diameter of the semicircular recess in the housing is at least 0.1 mm larger than the diameter of the collar and at most 1 mm larger than the diameter of the collar.
  • the annular coil spring deforms until the annular coil spring is received in the semicircular recess in the collar and in the semicircular recess in the housing, after which the collar is releasably secured to the housing. This is advantageous for a releasable attachment of the collar to the housing without the use of tools.
  • the housing is a cylindrical body, wherein the collar and the holder are placed in the circular body. This is advantageous because as a result a minimal housing is obtained, which abuts as closely as possible with the base and the neck of the lamp, while the holder, collar and retention ring are hidden.
  • the attachment means for securing the collar in the housing is an annular coil spring.
  • the circular body has a semicircular recess of the same radius as that of the collar.
  • the diameter of the circular housing at the position of the recess is preferably approximately equal to the diameter of the collar at the height of the recess.
  • This recess is suitable for receiving an annular coil spring. Since the diameter of the housing and the collar at the level of the semicircular recess are approximately the same, the annular coil spring will come under pressure when the collar is received in the housing. As a result, the annular coil spring will deform as previously described, allowing the semicircular recess of the collar and housing to be aligned. When the semicircular recesses are aligned, the annular coil spring will return to its original shape and secure the collar in the housing.
  • the cylindrical body is attached to a board at one end.
  • the cylindrical body comprises a circular opening for receiving the base of the lamp.
  • the axis of the cylindrical body is transverse to the circular opening and passes through the center of the circular opening.
  • the board is rectangular, circular, or other suitable shape.
  • the board has mounting holes for screwing the board to a surface. This is advantageous for fixing the housing in, for example, a cavity in a wall or in a ceiling.
  • the board is a metal plate for visible finishing of the board on the ceiling or wall.
  • the board is a plastic sheet for an invisible finish in a wall or ceiling, where the plastic sheet is plastered.
  • the plastic sheet preferably comprises ridges for better plaster adhesion.
  • An advantage of such a housing is that the underside of the bulb of the lamp is brought completely up to the circular opening of the cylindrical body. This connects the bulb to the board and the neck of the lamp is concealed in the housing. The lamp sits directly opposite the board because the lamp connects perpendicularly to the collar. This is particularly advantageous in combination with a plastic sheet, making the bulb of the lamp the only visible element from the wall or ceiling.
  • the housing is a board.
  • the board is for instance part of a piece of furniture, such as for instance a wall cabinet.
  • the board is, for example, a board of a ceiling, such as a plasterboard, a ceiling tile, or a concrete slab.
  • the board comprises a circular opening.
  • the circular opening has a diameter greater than a diameter of the holder.
  • the collar comprises a cylindrical or conical volume with an open end for receiving the base of the lamp.
  • Said volume comprises at its open end an annular projection circumferentially surrounding said volume.
  • the annular projection extends transversely to said volume.
  • the annular projection has an outer diameter that is at least greater than the diameter of the circular opening.
  • the holder is placed through the circular opening.
  • the annular projection is positioned against a first side of the board.
  • the collar comprises an attachment means for securing the collar in the housing.
  • the attachment means is a spring element.
  • the spring element presses against a second side of the board.
  • the second side of the board lies opposite the first side of the board.
  • the annular projection and the spring element are advantageous for retaining the holder and the collar in the circular opening.
  • the holder is retained in the housing by means of the collar. This embodiment is advantageous because the base and the neck of the lamp, as well as the holder and the collar are completely hidden.
  • the invention relates to a use of a housing according to the first aspect as a standard lamp, table lamp, pendant lamp, or recessed lamp.
  • a housing according to the first aspect in, for example, a standard lamp, table lamp, pendant lamp or recessed lamp is that only the bulb of the lamp is visible. It is advantageous here that the lamp is better supported in the housing, so that a lamp will break off less quickly at the neck in the event of impact.
  • These standard lamps, table lamps, pendant lamps, or recessed lamps, in combination with a simple sealing ring can now also be used advantageously in damp or dusty areas without having to provide expensive fixtures where it is difficult to replace the lamp should it break down.
  • An additional advantage is that because the lamp is straight with respect to the collar and the lamp is fixed in the housing with the collar, the lamp is now also straight with respect to the housing.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross-section of a lamp in a housing according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a lamp (18), comprising a base (7), a neck (2) and a bulb (1) is mounted in a holder (4).
