Alternatively, in this case, the vertical section in which the engaging portion 56 formed of a concave through hole is formed has a substantially inverted M shape. Further, 57,... Are not essential, but are protrusions formed on the arm base 55 and projecting toward the base base part 61 side.

また、上記受容部53を形成する壁面52,52は平板状でもよいが、図示のように波状に形成して弾性をもたせることにより圧潰封止部31を強く挟持することができる。   Further, the wall surfaces 52, 52 forming the receiving portion 53 may be flat plates, but the crushing sealing portion 31 can be strongly held by forming it in a wave shape as shown in the figure to give elasticity.

たとえば内径D1が約24.4mm、一対の凸状係止部45,45の頂部間の間隔D2が約21.6mmの外管4を支持する上記アダプタ5の概略寸法は、厚さが約0.2mmのステンレス板を用い受容部53を形成する壁面52の幅が約15mmm、壁面の高さ(深さ)が約15.5mm、波状の壁面52,52間の最大外側寸法が約5.8mm、肩部54の幅が約6mm、腕部55の長さ(高さ)が約10mm(外管4内面の湾曲面に対応して約9mmの曲率で湾曲)、腕部55に形成された係止部56の孔径が約5mm、基体部51(受容部53)と延在する両肩部54,54と両腕部55,55とで形成される略逆M字形状をなす最大寸法W1が約26.2mmで、外管4とアダプタ5とはD2<D1<W1の関係にある。   For example, the adapter 5 that supports the outer tube 4 having an inner diameter D1 of about 24.4 mm and a distance D2 between the tops of the pair of convex locking portions 45, 45 of about 21.6 mm has a thickness of about 0. The width of the wall surface 52 forming the receiving portion 53 using a stainless steel plate of 2 mm is about 15 mm, the height (depth) of the wall surface is about 15.5 mm, and the maximum outer dimension between the wavy wall surfaces 52 and 52 is about 5. 8 mm, the width of the shoulder portion 54 is about 6 mm, and the length (height) of the arm portion 55 is about 10 mm (curved with a curvature of about 9 mm corresponding to the curved surface of the inner surface of the outer tube 4). The maximum size of the engagement portion 56 is approximately 5 mm, and has a substantially inverted M-shape formed by the base portion 51 (receiving portion 53), the extending shoulder portions 54, 54, and the arm portions 55, 55. W1 is about 26.2 mm, and the outer tube 4 and the adapter 5 have a relationship of D2 <D1 <W1.

口金6は、一端側に切頭円錐体などの略円柱形状をなすステアタイトなどの電気絶縁体からなる口金基体部61が、また、他端側には受電部65が設けられている。そして、基体部61の中央部には直径方向にアダプタ5の受容部53を受入れる装着溝62が、基体部61の周囲には外管4の開口部41側およびアダプタ5の腕部55を受入れる環状の装着溝63が設けられている。図中、64,64は装着溝62,63の形成によるランド部、68,68は装着溝62の底部に設けられた外部リード部材28,28の挿通孔である。   The base 6 is provided with a base body portion 61 made of an electric insulator such as steatite having a substantially cylindrical shape such as a truncated cone on one end side, and a power receiving portion 65 on the other end side. A mounting groove 62 for receiving the receiving portion 53 of the adapter 5 in the diameter direction is received in the center of the base portion 61, and the opening 41 side of the outer tube 4 and the arm portion 55 of the adapter 5 are received around the base portion 61. An annular mounting groove 63 is provided. In the figure, 64 and 64 are land portions formed by the mounting grooves 62 and 63, and 68 and 68 are insertion holes for the external lead members 28 and 28 provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 62.

また、口金基体部61の反対側にはシェル部66およびセンターコンタクト部67が所定の位置に互いに絶縁関係を保持して配設されることによって受電部65を構成している。   On the opposite side of the base body portion 61, a shell portion 66 and a center contact portion 67 are arranged in a predetermined position while maintaining an insulating relationship, thereby constituting a power receiving portion 65.

そして、内管3は圧潰封止部31がアダプタ5に形成した凹状の受容部53内に挿入され、さらにこの受容部53は口金基体部61の装着溝62内に挿入されることにより内管3がアダプタ5を介し口金6に支持されることになる。なお、このとき内管3の端部から導出された一対の外部リード部材28,28は、アダプタ5の基体部51および口金6の基体部61の装着溝62底部の挿通孔68,68を挿通し、口金6内での相互の短絡を防ぐため張力がかかる状態で、封止部31の端面がアダプタ5を口金6の基体部61に押し付けその先端部が口金6のシェル部66およびセンターコンタクト部67などに溶接やろう付けなどの手段で接続してあるため、この外部リード部材28,28が内管3を吊下支持していることにもなり、内管3を強固に支持することができる。   The inner tube 3 is inserted into a concave receiving portion 53 in which the crushing sealing portion 31 is formed in the adapter 5, and the receiving portion 53 is further inserted into the mounting groove 62 of the base base portion 61, whereby the inner tube 3 is inserted. 3 is supported by the base 6 through the adapter 5. At this time, the pair of external lead members 28 and 28 led out from the end portion of the inner tube 3 are inserted through the insertion holes 68 and 68 at the bottom of the mounting groove 62 of the base portion 51 of the adapter 5 and the base portion 61 of the base 6. In the state where tension is applied to prevent mutual short circuit in the base 6, the end surface of the sealing portion 31 presses the adapter 5 against the base portion 61 of the base 6, and the tip portion thereof is the shell portion 66 of the base 6 and the center contact. Since the outer lead members 28 and 28 support the inner pipe 3 in a suspended manner by connecting to the portion 67 by means such as welding or brazing, the inner pipe 3 is firmly supported. Can do.

また、内管3の圧潰封止部31の圧潰面外表面と、この外表面と当接するアダプタ5の凹状の受容部53の内表面あるいはこの凹状の受容部53の外表面と、この外表面と当接する口金基体部61の装着溝62内表面とが相互に係合するよう両者の当接部に係合する凹凸部を形成して、その支持固定力を高めアダプタ5が抜け出すことを防ぐようにしてもよい。   Also, the crushing surface outer surface of the crushing sealing portion 31 of the inner tube 3, the inner surface of the concave receiving portion 53 of the adapter 5 in contact with the outer surface, or the outer surface of the concave receiving portion 53, and the outer surface A concave and convex portion that engages with both contact portions is formed so that the inner surface of the mounting groove 62 of the base body portion 61 that contacts with each other is engaged with each other to increase the support fixing force and prevent the adapter 5 from coming out. You may do it.

また、上記内管3と口金6とを係合した後、内管3を覆うよう被せた外管4は、開口部41を金口基体部61の側面に折り返されたアダプタ5の腕部55に滑らしながら移動させ、開口部41近傍の内面側に突出して設けた凸状の2か所の係止部45をアダプタ5の凹状ここでは透孔からなる2か所の係止部56に合わせることにより係合して、外管4をアダプタ5に固定支持させることができる。   In addition, after engaging the inner tube 3 and the base 6, the outer tube 4 covered so as to cover the inner tube 3 has the arm portion 55 of the adapter 5 in which the opening 41 is folded back to the side surface of the base portion 61. The two engaging portions 45 that protrude from the inner surface in the vicinity of the opening 41 are aligned with the two engaging portions 56 that are formed in the concave shape of the adapter 5, here through holes. Accordingly, the outer tube 4 can be fixedly supported by the adapter 5.

なお、上記アダプタ5および外管4に設けられた凹状または凸状の係止部45,56は、係合面を半球状などの曲面や傾斜面としておくことにより、アダプタ5と外管4との両者の係止部45,56の係合作業が円滑に行える利点がある。   In addition, the concave or convex engaging portions 45 and 56 provided on the adapter 5 and the outer tube 4 have a curved surface such as a hemisphere or an inclined surface, so that the adapter 5 and the outer tube 4 There is an advantage that the engaging work of both the locking portions 45 and 56 can be smoothly performed.

また、アダプタ5の腕部55は、係止部56の外面側が外管4の係止部45の内表面に当接して反対側の基体部61側に押圧されているとともに係止部56の近傍に設けられた突起57,…の先端部がランド部64壁面に当接することによって腕部55の変形量が規制される。このため、腕部55の不所望な変形による外管4の支持力の低下を抑制することができる。   Further, the arm portion 55 of the adapter 5 is pressed against the base portion 61 side of the locking portion 56 while the outer surface side of the locking portion 56 abuts against the inner surface of the locking portion 45 of the outer tube 4. The tip portion of the projections 57,... Provided in the vicinity abuts against the wall surface of the land portion 64, whereby the deformation amount of the arm portion 55 is restricted. For this reason, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the supporting force of the outer tube 4 due to an undesired deformation of the arm portion 55.

本発明は上述したように、多重管構造として内部に配設した発光源の保護や保温などをはかる管球において、金属板で形成したアダプタ5で弾性を利用して外管4を支持固定するようにしたもので、シンプルな構造でプレス作業などにより製造も容易で、経時劣化がないかあっても接着剤に比べて僅少で、口金6側が上方にくる鉛直あるいは傾斜した状態のベースアップでランプL1を点灯しても、照明装置に装着され所定寿命途中における外管4の脱落防止がはかれ、人や物品などに損傷を与えない安全性の向上したメタルハライドランプL1を提供することができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, the outer tube 4 is supported and fixed by using the elasticity of the adapter 5 formed of a metal plate in a tube for protecting the light source disposed inside as a multi-tube structure and protecting the heat. It has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture by press work etc., and even if there is no deterioration over time, it is a little compared to the adhesive, and the base up with the base 6 side facing up or down is up Even if the lamp L1 is turned on, the outer tube 4 can be prevented from falling off during the predetermined life, and the metal halide lamp L1 with improved safety can be provided without damaging people or articles. .
