The end face may define two heat release formations arranged substantially opposite each other, and wherein the aperture is defined in the end face between the heat release formations. The, or each, heat release formation may comprise a slot defined in the end face.
The cover may be wholly formed of a plastics material. The cover may be wholly formed of silicone. The cover may be formed as a one piece moulding. The cover may be formed by injection moulding.
According to another aspect of this invention, there is provided a cover and light bulb arrangement, comprising a cover as described above, and a light bulb held within the cover, the light bulb having a connecting portion extending through the aperture defined in the end face of the cover.
The light bulb may be a fluorescent bulb.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view from one end of a cover for a light bulb;
Figure 2 is a perspective view from the opposite end of the cover shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 shows the cover and a light bulb;
Figure 4 shows a light bulb held within the cover; and
Figure 5 shows the cover mounted on a lamp holder.
Figures 1 and 2 show a cover 10 for a light bulb 100 (see Figures 3 to 5 for the light bulb 100). The cover 10 comprises a body 12 having a main part 14 with first and second opposite ends 16, 18. The body 12 also includes an end face 20 at the first end 16 of the main part. The end face 20 is formed integrally with the main part 14.
The body 12 is of a one piece construction and the end face 20 defines an aperture 22 centrally therein. The aperture 22 allows the light bulb 100 to be connected to a supply of electricity. In the embodiment shown, the aperture 22 is substantially circular in shape, and thereby corresponds in shape to the end profile of a connecting portion 104 of a light bulb 100, as described below.
The main part 14 defines an interior space 24 in which the light bulb 100 can be received and held. The second end 18 of the main part 14 defines an insertion opening 26 to allow the light bulb 100 to be inserted into the space 24 in the main part 14.
The end face 20 further defines heat release formations in the form of two heat release slots 28 adjacent the aperture 22. The heat release slots 28 allow heat from the light bulb to escape.
The heat release slots 28 are defined in the end face 20 opposite each other. The aperture 22 is defined in the end face 20 between the heat release slots 28. The heat release slots 28 are curved and, in the embodiment shown in the drawings are concentric with the aperture 22.
The main part 14 is in the form of a tube. In the embodiment shown, the main part 14 is cylindrical in shape.
Figure 3 shows an assembly comprising the light bulb 100 and the cover 10. The light bulb 100 is of the fluorescent type having an illuminating arrangement 102 for providing illumination, and a connecting arrangement 104 for connecting the light bulb 100 to a supply of electricity.
The illuminating arrangement 102 comprises a ballast part 106 housing electronics to operate the bulb, and a tube part 108 comprising gas filled tubes to emit light. The connecting arrangement 104 can comprise either an Edison screw or a bayonet fitting.
Figure 4 shows the light bulb 100 held by the cover 10. The light bulb 100 can be received in the space 24 in the main part 14 of the body 12. The main part 14 is configured so that it engages around the ballast part 106 of the light bulb 100.
As can be seen from Figure 4, one way of using the cover 10 is to arrange the light bulb 100 within the main part 12 so that the connecting arrangement 104 extends through the aperture 22 in the end face 20. The connecting arrangement 104 can then be connected to a suitable lamp holder to allow the light bulb 100 to be connected to the mains supply of electricity.
In an alternative arrangement, shown in Figure 5, the cover 10 can be connected to a lamp holder 200, which can then receive the light bulb 100 therein. The lamp holder 200 is a standard lamp holder known in the art.
A brief description of the lamp holder is as follows. The lamp holder 200 comprises a securing part 202 to which an electrical cable 204 can be secured. The securing part 202 has electrical and mechanical connecting formations (not visible) to cooperate with the connecting portion 104 (not visible in Figure 5) of the light bulb 100, thereby connecting the light bulb 100 mechanically and electrically to the lamp holder 200.
The securing part also includes an externally threaded mounting member (not visible) which houses the connecting formations and can receive the connecting part 104 of the light bulb 100.
The cover 10 is attached to the lamp holder 200 by receiving the mounting member through the aperture 22. An internally threaded attachment skirt 206 is threadably received on the mounting member to secure the cover 10 to the lamp holder 200. In this arrangement, the connecting portion 104 of the bulb 100 does not extend through the aperture 22 in the end face 24, but the ballast part 106 is engaged by the main part 14 of the body 12.
The cover 10 can be formed as a unitary moulding from a fire resistant or retardant material, such as a resilient polymeric material, for example silicone, suitably an HCR (high consistency rubber) silicone. The cover 10 can be formed by injection moulding. The cover 10 can be of any desirable colour so that suitable ambience is provided in the room.
Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention, for example, the main part 14 of the body 12 and/or the aperture 22 can be of any suitable shape, for example square.
