Abstract
A holder for infrared heat source lamps and particularly a holder comprising a block structure having entry sections on both sides separated by a wall. The separating walls provide an entry section oversized and otherwise notched to dissipate heat. A port in each entry section leads to a separate conductive bar positioned on a stair-step surface. The energization protruding wires of the infrared lamps are secured through the ports to the conductive bars. The energization wire power source for the infrared lamps is also connected to the conductive bars. Detailed refinements for positioning the holder in a reflector are disclosed.
Claims10
A lamp holder for an infrared heating unit wherein the lamp is of the type having a base at either end and an energization wire protruding from the base, comprising:
- a structure having a plurality of cavities in alternate pairs on both sides of its lower end, the number of cavities equal to the number of lamps held thereby;
- said cavities adapted for receiving the bases of said lamps,
- a bore extending upwardly from each of said cavities to the uppermost region of said structure,
- a conductive bar for each pair of said alternate cavities positioned on the uppermost region of said structure,
- said conductive bars having bores therein aligned with said bores in said cavities, said bores in said cavities and said conductive bars adapted to receive said lamp wires, and
- said conductive bars having means for receiving and retaining an energization wire.
