Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a fluorescent lamp having a U-shape or a U-shape further folded into two (hereinafter referred to as a saddle shape).

Conventionally, this type of fluorescent lamp 1, as shown in FIG. It consisted of two pairs of terminal pins 6 electrically connected to the end lead wires (not shown) of the lamp body 4.

Therefore, in order to attach this fluorescent lamp 1 to the lighting fixture 7, in addition to the lamp socket 8 that includes a contact piece (not shown) that makes contact with the terminal pin 6 and makes an electrical connection, the fluorescent lamp 1 must be installed. A lamp holder 9 is required to mechanically hold the lamp. This has resulted in the disadvantage that the structure of the lighting fixture 7 is complicated and that attachment and detachment of the fluorescent lamp 1 is troublesome.

This invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and one embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Reference numeral 6 designates two pairs of terminal pins protruding from the lower surface 3 of the base 2 formed in the same manner as in the conventional example described above, which are connected to the saddle-shaped lamp body 4 through end lead wires (not shown). electrically connected. The other parts are the same as the fluorescent lamp 1 shown in FIG.

To attach this fluorescent lamp 1 to a lighting fixture 7, as shown in FIG. All you have to do is put it on.
As a result, the weight of the fluorescent lamp 1 is supported by the lamp socket 8 via the base 2, making it possible to eliminate the need for a conventional lamp holder. Furthermore, mounting of the fluorescent lamp 1 is extremely simple, as it only requires the operation of hooking the fluorescent lamp 1 onto the lamp socket 8.

As described above, this invention has terminal pins protruding from the fixing surface of the fluorescent lamp body to the base to which the fluorescent lamp body is fixed, which has the effect of simplifying the construction of the lighting fixture in which the fluorescent lamp is mounted and making it easy to attach and remove the fluorescent lamp.
