Rectangular seal beam lamp and universal support assembly

A seal beam lamp unit for vehicles, comprising;

• a generally rectangular plastic reflector having a mirrorized paraboloidal inner reflective surface, a halogen bulb mounted in the reflector, a generally rectangular reflector lens fixed to the reflector, said reflector having a rectangular portion surrounding and engaging the lens, and a universal shock absorbing support for the lamp unit that provides shock absorbtion in all directions including a support projection at least part of which is formed integrally with the reflector, a second projection fixed to said support projection, a resilient spherical ball member fixed to the support and second projections, and a clamp assembly for engaging and holding the ball member in a preselected or adjusted position.

A seal beam lamp unit for vehicles, comprising;

• a reflector constructed of plastic and having a generally paraboloidal inner reflective surface, a halogen bulb mounted in the reflector, a generally rectangular lens mounted to the reflector, a shock absorbing universal support for the lamp that provides shock absorption in all directions including a polygonal post formed integrally with the base of the reflector, said post having a flange formed on its periphery, said support including a resilient rubber ball member having a polygonal bore therein for receiving the reflector post, a recess in the bore for receiving the post flange, said ball member having a plurality of slots therein radiating from the bore, a lower externally threaded clamp member having a partly spherical inner surface for receiving and engaging the ball member, and an upper internally threaded clamp member, threadedly engaging the lower clamp member, having a partly spherical surface for receiving and engaging the ball member so that as the upper clamp member is threaded to the lower clamp member the ball member will be compressed clamping it to the post on the reflector and at the same time holding the lamp unit in a preselected position.

A vehicular seal beam lamp unit, comprising;

• a one-piece reflector having an integral rectangular forwardly extending rim and an integral rear paraboloidal portion, said paraboloidal portion having a mirrorized inner reflective surface, a halogen bulb mounted within the reflector, a rectangular lens mounted within the forwardly projecting rim of the reflector, a universal shock-absorbing support assembly for the lamp unit that has shock-absorbing characteristics in two orthogonal planes extending therethrough including a post portion formed integrally with the plastic reflector, a spherical compressible ball member mounted on the integral reflector post, and a clamp assembly for engaging and holding the ball member and the lamp unit in any preselected position.
