Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a glow starter socket that allows easy replacement of a noise prevention capacitor.

Generally, a noise prevention capacitor is connected in parallel to the glow starter (glow lamp) of a fluorescent lamp, but if the fluorescent lamp cannot be lit normally due to a malfunction such as a loss of capacity or a short circuit in this capacitor, the capacitor should be replaced. Needs to be replaced.

Conventionally, this capacitor has often been soldered to the glow starter socket, which has had the disadvantage that replacing the capacitor is troublesome.

As another conventional example, as shown in FIG. 1, a capacitor storage box 3 for storing a noise prevention capacitor 4 is provided on the opposite side of the socket body 2 to which the glow starter 1 is installed, from the side where the glow starter 1 is installed. Some capacitor storage boxes 3 have speed terminals that lock the legs of the capacitors 4 at the bottom to make it easier to attach and detach the capacitors 4. It has the disadvantage that removal work is troublesome because it requires picking it out.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Examples will be described below using figures.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a cylindrical socket body 2 into which a glow starter 1 is attached and a capacitor storage box 3 having a hole in the circumferential direction of this socket body 2 are integrated. Capacitor 4 is placed at the bottom of capacitor storage box 3.
A connecting terminal 5 is provided to lock the leg piece 4' of the capacitor storage box 3, and a notch 6 for inserting a screwdriver is provided on the socket body 2 side of the opening edge of the capacitor storage box 3. It is designed to match.

The socket body 2 and the capacitor storage box 3 are divided into two parts in the axial direction, and are made of resin molded bodies 7 and 8. is connected to an electrode portion (not shown) of the socket body 2 through a joint between the image forming bodies 7 and 8.

When replacing the noise prevention capacitor 4 that has now become defective, insert the screwdriver 10 into the insertion notch 6 as shown in FIG.
Insert the capacitor 4 into the capacitor storage box 3 along the
By pushing up the lower end of the capacitor 4 with the tip of the screwdriver 10, the capacitor 4 can be easily removed upward.

That is, it utilizes the principle of one lever, and the driver 10 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the socket body 2, and the driver 10
The fulcrum of the lever moves continuously along the surrounding curved surface, and the force based on the lever principle can be effectively applied to the capacitor 4, and the capacitor 4 can be easily moved upward with a small force. It will be possible to remove it.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and has a cylindrical socket body into which a glow starter is attached, and a capacitor storage box that opens in the circumferential direction of the socket body. Since it is equipped with quick-connect terminals that lock the pieces, when replacing a defective capacitor, there is no need for soldering, and the defective capacitor can be replaced with one touch. A notch for inserting a screwdriver is provided on the socket body side of the opening edge, and the driver contact surface is aligned with the cylindrical outer circumferential surface of the socket body, so when removing the capacitor using the screwdriver principle, The fulcrum of the lever moves along the curved surface of the socket body, and
The advantage is that the lever force effectively acts on the capacitor and that the capacitor can be easily removed upwards.
