Description

Lamp holder

TECHNICAL SCOPE

The invention relates to a support for lamps, of general application in the industry dedicated to the manufacture of lamps and in particular for the manufacture of ceiling lamps and light fixtures, for which purpose the support is constituted by a strip of metal sheet with its ends bent at an obtuse angle, which can be opened by the flexibility of the material and thus cover the edges of a translucent screen wider than the support, allowing the band at its bent ends, topped by pins, to hug the edges of the screen retained by the elastic force of the bent ends of the band, while the central area of the band has means for fixing it to the ceiling or the wall, as well as other means for mounting the lampholders.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the current state of the art it is known the existence of supports for lamps of a very varied form, which have crimping or anchoring means to fix a translucent glass or plastic screen in order to cover the caps and sight of the user. lamp bulbs.

It is conventional that the screens are mounted on the support either by screws or small crimping hooks that allow to fix the position of the screen on the lamp support.

It is also known that the support is complemented with a peripheral frame and that the translucent lamp shade is retained between the frame and the support.

These types of lamps, whether ceiling or wall lamps, have the disadvantage of requiring the use of complementary tools and anchoring means to fix the translucent screen to the support, which requires more time and energy in the assembly of the lamp.

Likewise, these types of supports require a more complex type of manufacturing and therefore the cost of manufacturing is more expensive, which results in the prices of lamps in the market.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages and provide the market with a support for lamps of special configuration and flexible and resistant material, which allows the retention of the translucent screen by elastic jump.

For this purpose, the support has the shape of a metal plate band that bends in proximity to its ends at an obtuse angle, forming two oblique end planes that have support pins on the free edge of the edges of the translucent screen that presents longer and wider than the support.

When the angles that make up the extreme oblique planes with the central area of the band are opened, its pins get hooked or hugged the edges of the screen, which is retained by the elastic force made by the oblique side planes on the edges of the screen when wanting to return to its initial position.

In the central area of the band that is in an elevated and horizontal position on the lampshades there are means for anchoring the support to the ceiling or to the wall and others for mounting the lamp socket.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the invention, the lamp holder incorporates anchoring means for fixing to the ceiling or wall of a passenger compartment and is in a position to allow the assembly of a translucent glass or plastic screen that is associated on the support without the need for anchoring organs

For this purpose, the support is constituted by a band of flexible and resistant material, preferably of metal sheet, which in proximity to its ends bends in obtuse dihedral angles, forming oblique lateral planes in opposite directions, which delimit a central area high band in horizontal position.

On the free edge of the oblique planes, bent pins are formed towards the inside of the band, in a support and engagement arrangement of two opposite edges of a translucent screen of greater length and width than the support.

All this is arranged so that by manually separating the oblique lateral planes, the dihedral angles formed in the band are opened by the flexibility of the material, causing said planes to engage through the support pins with two opposite edges of the translucent screen, which is immovably retained by the lateral elastic force of the extreme oblique planes, which want to return to their initial position, while the raised central area of the band is traversed on the internal face of the screen.

In said central zone of the band spheroidal deformations are formed with holes for the passage of fastening screws of the band to the ceiling or the wall.

Likewise, in said central band zone, windows have been formed in order to receive the coupling of lamp socket sockets that protrude through the inner face of the central section of the band.

Figure 4.- Shows a perspective view of the lamp holder to which the screen has been attached, for which the oblique end planes have hooked by their support pins on two opposite edges of the screen, which is retained to the support by the elastic force or pressure exerted by said oblique planes on the edges of the screen.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The different components that make up the preferred embodiment of the lamp holder, object of the invention, of preferential application to soffits and sconces, which include anchoring means for fixing to the ceiling or wall, are exposed and listed below, and are found in Willingness to receive the assembly of a translucent glass or plastic screen, which is associated with the support, without the need for anchoring bodies or support frames.

Looking at the first and second figures, it can be verified that the support is constituted by a band (1) of aluminum metal plate, which bends in proximity to its ends to form obtuse dihedral angles (2) and (3).

These extreme folds of the band form oblique lateral planes (4) and (5) in opposite directions, which delimit a raised central area (6) of the band in a horizontal position, as seen in the second figure.

In said first and second figures, it can also be seen that at the free edges of the oblique planes, pins (7) and (8) are folded inwardly bent towards the inside of the band and arranged to support and engage the two edges opposites (9) and (10) of a translucent screen (11).

In the third figure it can be seen that the support is in a position to receive the coupling of the translucent screen (11) that is longer and wider than the band (1) that constitutes the support.

All this is arranged so that by manually separating the oblique side planes (4) and (5) the obtuse dihedral angles (2) and (3) of the band are opened by the flexibility of the material, causing said planes to engage through of its pins (7) and (8) supporting the two opposite edges (9) and (10) of the translucent screen (11).

In this way the screen is immovably associated with the support by the elastic force of the oblique lateral planes (4) and (5) that want to return to their initial position and press on the edges of the screen, leaving the central area elevated ( 6) band in position crossed over the internal face of the screen, as seen in the fourth figure.

It can also be seen in the first, second, third and fourth figures that spherical deformations (12) with holes (13) are formed in the raised central zone (6) of the band for the passage of fixing screws

(14) from the band to the ceiling or to the wall.

Likewise, it can be seen that in said raised central area of the band windows (15) are formed in order to receive the coupling of the lamp socket (16) that will be arranged by the inner face of the central area of the band.

All of this is arranged so that the band (1) that constitutes the support will be mounted on the windows (15)

5 the lamp socket (16) and the relevant connections to the mains will be made and then the support is fixed to the ceiling or to the wall by means of the fixing screws (14) that cross the holes (13) of the deformations (12) of the raised central zone (6) of the band.

Once the support is mounted on the ceiling or on the wall, the translucent screen will be fixed to the support with the operation indicated above, being retained to the support immovably.
