Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a socket mounting structure for a fluorescent lamp, and more particularly to a structure that allows a plurality of types of sockets to be fitted into one fluorescent lamp main body.

Conventionally, there are various structures for attaching a socket to a fluorescent lamp body. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a socket support piece 3 is formed in the horizontal direction with a certain space 2 at the end of the fluorescent lamp main body 1, and a slit 4 is formed in the outer wall of the socket support piece 3. A socket 5 is fitted therein.

Further, a small convex portion 6 is formed on the wall surface of the socket support piece 3 so that the socket 5 can be supported reliably.

However, according to the above structure, the slit 4 provided on the outer wall of the socket 5 or the socket support piece 3
Due to dimensional variations in the convex portions 6 provided on the wall surface, the socket 5 cannot be reliably supported by the socket support piece 3, and looseness is likely to occur.

Furthermore, the support structure of the socket 5 often differs depending on the manufacturer. For example, if the dimensions of the slit 4 of the socket 5 in FIG. There is a drawback that it cannot be fitted onto the piece 3 and is not compatible.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and is capable of absorbing dimensional variations in the socket slit or the socket attachment part of the fluorescent lamp apparatus body.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a socket mounting structure for a fluorescent lamp device that can securely fit and support sockets having different slit sizes.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. In the figure, 11 is the fluorescent lamp main body, 12 is a socket mounting body that is fitted and supported at both ends of the fluorescent lamp main body 11, and has notched holes 1 in the horizontal parts on both sides of the upper part.
3, an elastic piece 14 for cutting and raising is formed in connection with both notches 13, and a protrusion 15 higher than the elastic piece 14 is provided on the outside of the elastic piece 14.

16 is a socket having slits 17 on both sides of the outer end, and the slits 17 are connected to the socket mounting body 1.
It is fitted into and supported by the elastic piece 14 of No. 2.

The slit 17 of the socket 16 may have the same width as a whole as shown in FIG. 4, or the opening of the slit 17 may be enlarged as shown in FIG.

Next, the fitting of the socket 16 into the socket mounting body 12 in the above structure will be explained.

First, the elastic piece 14 of the socket mount 12 supported on the fluorescent lamp main body 11 is fitted into the slit 17 of the socket 16. Figure 4 shows socket 1
6 slits 17 are configured to have the same width as a whole, and the socket 16 is supported by the outer protrusion 15. Figure 5 also shows the slit 17 of the socket 16.
The socket is supported by an elastic piece 14 for cutting and raising provided in connection with the notch hole 13.

As described above, the present invention has notched holes in the horizontal parts on both sides of the upper part of the socket mounting body provided on both sides of the fluorescent lamp body, and also forms elastic pieces for cutting and raising in connection with the notched holes. Furthermore, the structure is such that a protrusion higher than the elastic piece is provided on the outside of the elastic piece, and a socket having slits on both outer ends is fitted and supported on the socket mounting body, so that the width of the slit can be adjusted as described above. Different sockets can be fitted, and the socket can be reliably supported even if there are dimensional variations in the slit or the socket attachment part of the fluorescent lamp body.

Furthermore, elastic pieces for cutting and raising are provided on both horizontal parts of the upper part of the socket mounting body in connection with the notch holes, so the elastic effect for supporting the socket is increased.
This has the advantage that the support of the socket is strong.
