Abstract
A lamp which has a lamp glass envelope (14) having contact pins (16) projecting from its end (15) and which is held in a socket receptacle (9) having an insulator (2, 6), wherein the insulator (2, 6) holds a small metallic tube (1) between a contact pin (16) of the lamp envelope (14) and a current-feeding connecting cable (4) in at least one through hole, to which small tube (1) the contact pin (16) is crimped and the connecting cable (4) is connected.
Claims13
A lamp comprising:
- a lamp glass envelope having contact pins projecting from a flat end of the lamp glass envelope;
- a socket receptacle having a position adjustment flange and an insulator including lateral accesses to lamp-side small tube ends for crimping, the lamp glass envelope being held in the socket receptacle;
- a metal sleeve, which is open on a lamp side, encloses the insulator and includes lateral apertures at least in a region of the insulator, and cuts into the metal sleeve defining lugs bent inwards to abut against the flat glass end of the lamp glass envelope, the cuts being larger than the lugs and forming second lateral apertures;
- wherein the insulator holds a small metallic tube between one of said contact pins of the lamp glass envelope and a current-feeding connecting cable in at least one through hole, to which small metallic tube the contact pin is crimped and the current-feeding connecting cable is connected.
A method for manufacturing a lamp, wherein a lamp glass envelope having contact pins projecting from its end is held in a socket receptacle having an insulator, the method comprising:
- crimping at least one contact pin to a metallic small tube which is connected with a current-feeding connecting cable and is held in a through hole in the insulator;
- and
- mounting a position adjustment flange directly after crimping the at least one contact pin to the metallic small tube, the insulator being enclosed by a metal sleeve open on a lamp side and the socket receptacle containing the position adjustment flange.
A method for manufacturing a lamp, wherein a lamp glass envelope having contact pins projecting from its end is held in a socket receptacle having an insulator, the method comprising the following steps in the following order:
- fitting a metallic small tube into a first part of the insulator;
- connecting a current-feeding connecting cable to the metallic small tube;
- mounting a second part of the insulator;
- fitting the insulator into a metal sleeve;
- inserting the lamp glass envelope into the metal sleeve;
- crimping at least one contact pin of the contact pins to the metallic small tube which is connected with the current-feeding connecting cable and is held in a through hole in the insulator;
- and
- mounting the position adjustment flange.
