Definitions

  • the invention relates to a version for two-sided capped tubular fluorescent lamps with two-pin sockets, e.g. the size G5, with contacts for contacting the lamp-side Sockeiterede and with an entry slit to use the Socket pins in the socket, wherein the entry slit on the to the lamp - facing socket side and in a head area of the Mount housing extends transversely thereto.
  • Fluorescent lamps require their operation in a luminaire, which is equipped with these lamps, next to Startem so-called Ballasts, which are responsible for the operation of the lamps of a lamp generate required ignition voltage.
  • Ballasts which are responsible for the operation of the lamps of a lamp generate required ignition voltage.
  • Lamps or lamp classes specially adapted. That means, that one does not arbitrarily one containing a particular ballast Lamp with any fluorescent lamps can operate without Danger that destroys the electrical equipment or the lamp could become.
  • the present invention is based on the consideration that in Future fluorescent lamps could be developed specifically for They need adapted ballasts, with which the conventional Fluorescent lamps can not stand. Sofem accordingly new lights are equipped with new ballasts must effectively prevents these lights with conventional Lamps are fitted. This represents for practice in particular then a major problem, as long as the conventional as well as the new fluorescent lamps essentially the same base pitches and the same geometric base data, in particular in terms of Length of the base pins and their distance from each other should.
  • a Fassungsfamilie includes numerous versions of a design with numerous Embodiments in particular with regard to their fastening means for attachment to the luminaire housing.
  • the invention solves this problem on the one hand with the features of independent claim 1 and is marked accordingly through one with the head portion of the socket housing connectable, the introduction gap at least partially narrowing Adapter such that only base pins inserted into the insertion gap who are slimmer than those for whom the Original version is designed.
  • the shape of the adapter is suitably that of the head area adapted to the socket housing.
  • a particularly advantageous Solution is a socket whose socket housing Having openings as so-called “top test openings", in that the Adapter has extensions that are latched in the openings and thereby locking the adapter to the socket housing.
  • the extensions are non-positive, e.g. by means of press fit, anchored in the openings.
  • the adapter can be connected to the socket housing with a simple plug connection attach, but if necessary with the help of a tool also solve again.
  • the adapter with the Head portion of the socket body e.g. by welding or gluing, firm and insoluble, i. so permanently, to connect.
  • an advantageous embodiment is that the Adapter provided with an insertion gap for lamp contact pins is, which is defined between two webs, in the introduction gap of the socket housing, narrowing this, dipping.
  • the adapter as a thin-walled, to the curvature formed shell adapted to the head portion of the socket housing be.
  • this reduces the cost of materials for the adapter to the essentials;
  • this form fits optimal to that of the socket body, which also has aesthetic advantages brings with it.
  • the adapter is one of the color of the socket housing has different color. This gives the adapter a Signal effect and function, which recognize the skilled artisan immediately which technology allows the version equipped with this adapter is to be assigned.
  • the invention solves the problem initially posed as an alternative a rotor socket with the features of the independent claim 11 and is characterized accordingly by a rotor whose Insertion gap has such a small gap width that only Lamp contact pins can be inserted into the gap, the slimmer than those for whom the version is originally intended.
  • a signaling tag is advantageous, by making the rotor one of the color of conventional rotors as well possibly has the color of the socket housing different color.
  • a lamp socket is generally 10 designated.
  • This is a fluorescent lamp socket conventional design, such as in EP 0 735 630 B1 is shown and described.
  • Such a version serves to receive two pins 11, located on the base 12th a double ended fluorescent lamp 13 are located.
  • the socket 10 has a gap arrangement 14/15, wherein the gap 14 in the zenith of the head 16th the socket body 10 and the gap 15 with respect to the figures vertically extends down on the side facing the lamp 13 side.
  • rotor sockets in which the gap 15 through extending the rotor 17 therethrough.
  • Fig. 1 shows the prior art, namely the pairing of a conventional fluorescent lamp 13 with standardized base pins 11 and a socket 10 with a standardized gap arrangement 14/15.
  • the widths of the gaps 14 and 15 are slightly larger than that Diameter of the cylindrical base pins 11.
  • an adapter 18 is provided which - As the overview Fig. 2 shows, on the head 16 of the socket 10 can be placed is.
  • the adapter e.g. be welded or glued to the head portion of the socket.
  • the adapter 18 has a gap 19 which opens correctly the head 16 of the socket 10 attached adapter 18 with the wider Gap 14 in the socket body 10 is in overlap.
  • the Slit width of the gap 19 is less than the diameter of the Base pins 11, which are therefore no longer used in the socket 10 can be.
  • Fig. 3 shows a fluorescent lamp 13 ', the base 12' with Lamp contacts 11 'are equipped, at least in the direction transverse to the gap assembly 14/15 have a smaller degree than the diameters of the base pins 11 conventional fluorescent lamps 13.
  • the base pins 11 ' are tube-shaped and correspondingly flat pressed.
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 show in particular details of the adapter 18 is more clearly.
  • the adapter 18 is a plastic injection molded part, which is preferably colored differently than the Version 10, in order to achieve a signal effect in this way .
  • the Component is according to the curvature of the head 16 of the lamp socket 10 rounded so that the adapter with its approximately cup-shaped Main body fed on the outside of the socket head 16 rest can.
  • On the inside of the adapter 18 are two mutually parallel projections or projections 20 at the end thereof These are for passage through openings 22 determined, which are located in the head area of the socket 10. These openings 22 are openings for insertion from test pens for the so-called "top test", as in the already EP 0 735 630 B1 is explained in detail, so that with respect further details hereby to this document is referenced.
  • the extensions 20 pass through when placing the adapter 18th on the head 16 of the socket 10, the openings 22, and the locking hooks 21 engage behind the inner edges 23 of the openings 22.
  • Such an adapter 18 can thus be with the help of a simple positive locking connection with a conventional, in do not connect any modified version 10.
  • the edges of the in the Adapter gap 19 limited by two webs 24, the opposite each other, in the mouth of the gap 14 of the socket 10 engages.
  • Figs. 9 to 11 an alternative solution is shown, the differs from the above in that instead a special adapter 18 a particular rotor 17 'an adapter function übemimmt.
  • the arrangement is made such that the Width 25 of the gap located in the rotor 17 'is less than at a rotor, as it is available for a originally determined version.
  • the gap width 25 is smaller than the diameter of conventional Socket pins 11. He is, however, slightly further than the in same width measured narrow width of the socket pins 11 'a new fluorescent lamp 13 '. This can therefore be in the usual way in the version 10 introduced and after turning in their electrical Operating position to be spent.
  • it is impossible to one conventional lamp with base pins 11 continue to introduce than until to the beginning of the gap 26 in the rotor 17 '.
  • Such a lamp can be Do not contact with the receptacle contacts (not shown).
  • a conventional fluorescent lamp 13 with sock pins 11 in the version 10 of conventional design can be used if either a simple adapter 18 attached to the socket body 10 is or the socket 10 is equipped with a special rotor 17 '.
