Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lampenfassung für Leuchtstofflampen mit einer Verriegelungseinrichtung, insbesondere zur Verwendung in der Passagierkabine von Flugzeugen. Die üblichen Leuchtstofflampen werden in ihre Fassungen durch Einstecken der seitlichen Kontaktstifte in einen Führungsschlitz und durch Druck bei gleichzeitigem Drehen der Lampe eingesetzt. Dieser "Eindrehvorgang" ist wenig komfortabel und insbesondere bei der Anbringung solcher Leuchtstofflampen in der Passagierkabine von Flugzeugen mit sehr beengten Platzverhältnissen ist das Einsetzen solcher Leuchtstofflampen mühsam.The invention relates to a lamp holder for fluorescent lamps with a locking device, in particular for use in the passenger cabin of aircraft. The usual fluorescent lamps are used in their sockets by inserting the side contact pins into a guide slot and by pressing while rotating the lamp. This "screwing-in process" is not very convenient and, particularly when such fluorescent lamps are installed in the passenger cabin of aircraft with very limited space, the insertion of such fluorescent lamps is tedious.

Es ist ferner bekannt, die Leuchtstofflampen bei Verwendung in Flugzeugen in ihren Fassungen durch einen Verriegelungshebel gegen Herausfallen zu sichern.It is also known to secure the fluorescent lamps in their sockets against falling out when used in aircraft by a locking lever.

Ausgehend von den vorgenannten Gegebenheiten ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Fassung für Leuchtstofflampen anzugeben, bei welcher das Einsetzen der Leuchtstofflampe in die Fassung einfach und ohne Drehen möglich ist und eine selbsttätige Verriegelung erfolgt. Es soll ferner als weitere Ausbildungsmöglichkeit eine einfache Auswurfsicherung für die Leuchtstofflampe bei deren Entriegelung in der Fassung vorsehbar sein.Based on the aforementioned circumstances, it is an object of the invention to provide a socket for fluorescent lamps, in which the fluorescent lamp can be inserted into the socket easily and without turning and an automatic locking takes place. As a further training option, it should also be possible to provide a simple ejection safeguard for the fluorescent lamp when it is unlocked in the socket.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine Ausbildung der Fassung entsprechend den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 vor.To achieve this object, the invention proposes a version of the version according to the characterizing features of claim 1.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung der Lampenfassung ist es möglich, die Leuchtstofflampe mit ihren seitlichen Kontaktstiften auf die Einführungsschlitze der Fassung zu legen und die Leuchtstofflampe lediglich in die Fassung einzudrücken. Es erfolgt dabei selbsttätig ein Justieren der Kontaktstifte in die geeignete Einführungslage sowie nach dem vollständigen Eindrücken ein selbsttätiges Verriegeln der Lampe.With the design of the lamp socket according to the invention, it is possible to place the fluorescent lamp with its lateral contact pins on the insertion slots of the socket and only to press the fluorescent lamp into the socket. The contact pins are automatically adjusted into the appropriate insertion position and the lamp is automatically locked after being fully pressed in.

Soll eine Auswurfsicherung für die Leuchtstofflampe nach deren Entriegelung vorgesehen werden, eine solche Möglichkeit ist insbesondere in Flugzeugen erwünscht, so wird eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung entsprechend den Merkmalen des Anspruches 2 vorgeschlagen.If an ejection device is to be provided for the fluorescent lamp after it has been unlocked, such a possibility is desired in particular in aircraft, then a further development of the invention is proposed according to the features of claim 2.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the further subclaims.

Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher beschrieben werden.The invention is to be described in more detail below with reference to the drawing using an exemplary embodiment.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Vorderansicht der Lampenfassung mit den Einführungsschlitzen; .
  • Fig. 2 eine Ansicht der Lampenfassung von oben;
  • Fig. 3 eine Ansicht der Lampenfassung von hinten, wobei der Entriegelungsknopf gestrichelt dargestellt ist.
Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a front view of the lamp holder with the insertion slots. .
  • Figure 2 is a view of the lamp holder from above.
  • Fig. 3 is a view of the lamp holder from behind, the unlocking button is shown in dashed lines.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Kunststoffspritzteil als Fassung 1 für das eine Ende einer Leuchtstofflampe ausgebildet. Diese weist einen Führungskanal 2 auf, dessen Wände 2a und 2b einen Abstand besitzen, der nur unwesentlich gröBer als der Durchmesser der Leuchtstofflampe ist, so daß diese in den Führungskanal glatt eingeführt werden kann.In the drawing, a molded plastic part is designed as a socket 1 for one end of a fluorescent lamp. The latter has a guide channel 2, the walls 2a and 2b of which are at a distance which is only slightly larger than the diameter of the fluorescent lamp, so that it can be inserted smoothly into the guide channel.

Im Bereich des Führungskanals und einen Teil desselben bildend, sind zwei federnde Lappen 3a und 3b vorgesehen, welche an ihrem oberen Ende Noppen 4a und 4b aufweisen, die eingeschobene und auch die in Auswurfstellung befindliche Lampe hintergreifen und diese am Herausfallen hindern. Eine in die Lampenfassung eingesteckte Leuchtstofflampe ist in Figur 1 in ihrer normalen Arbeitsposition gestrichelt angedeutet.In the area of the guide channel and forming part of the same, two resilient tabs 3a and 3b are provided, which have knobs 4a and 4b at their upper end, which grip behind the inserted lamp and also the lamp in the ejection position and prevent it from falling out. A fluorescent lamp inserted into the lamp holder is indicated in dashed lines in FIG. 1 in its normal working position.

Im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Lampenfassungen sind die Einführungsschlitze 5a und 5b für die Kontaktstifte der Leuchtstofflampe parallel nebeneinanderliegend und durch einen Steg 6 voneinander getrennt.In contrast to the usual lamp sockets, the insertion slots 5a and 5b for the contact pins of the fluorescent lamp are located next to one another in parallel and separated from one another by a web 6.

Die metallischen Kontaktstücke in der Fassung sind der Obersichtlichkeit halber und da für das Verständnis der Erfindung nicht erforderlich, nicht dargestellt. In die Einführungsschlitze ragen Haltestifte 7a und 7b, welche auf einer Verriegelungsplatte 8 angeordnet und mit dieser seitwärts, in der Zeichnung nach rechts, gegen eine Federkraft verschiebbar sind.The metallic contact pieces in the socket are not shown for the sake of clarity and since they are not necessary for an understanding of the invention. Retaining pins 7a and 7b protrude into the insertion slots, which are arranged on a locking plate 8 and can be displaced sideways with this, against the spring force, in the drawing to the right.

In der Fassung 1 ist ein Entriegelungsknopf 9 vorgesehen, welcher gegen eine Federkraft in die Fassung eindrückbar ist. Dieser Entriegelungsknopf ist in Führungsschienen 10a und 10b gelagert.In the version 1, an unlocking button 9 is provided, which can be pressed into the version against a spring force. This unlocking button is mounted in guide rails 10a and 10b.

In Figur 3 ist die Rückseite dieses Entriegelungsknopfes dargestellt, wobei dessen den Führungsschlitzen zugewandte Seite mit ihrer Funktionsausbildung gestrichelt dargestellt ist.In Figure 3, the back of this release button is shown, the side facing the guide slots with their functional training is shown in dashed lines.

Man erkennt, daB der Entriegelungsknopf eine schiefe Ebene 11 aufweist, welche mit einer Nase 12 mit einer entsprechend ausgebildeten schiefen Ebene auf der Verriegelungsplatte 8 zusammenarbeitet.It can be seen that the unlocking button has an inclined plane 11 which cooperates with a nose 12 with a correspondingly designed inclined plane on the locking plate 8.

Diese Verriegelungsplatte 8 ist gegen die Kraft eines federnden Lappens 19 seitlich verschiebbar. Der Entriegelungsknopf ist nach unten gegen die Kraft einer Spiralfeder 13 verschieblich. Zur Begrenzung der seitlichen Verschiebung der Verriegelungsplatte 8 trägt diese eine Ausnehmung 14, in welcher sich eine Nase 15 des Entriegelungsknopfes 9 bewegt.This locking plate 8 is laterally displaceable against the force of a resilient tab 19. The release button can be moved downward against the force of a spiral spring 13. To limit the lateral displacement of the locking plate 8, this carries a recess 14 in which a nose 15 of the Unlocking button 9 moves.

In Figur 2 ist eine Auswurfplatte 16 mit einer aus weichem Kunststoff bestehenden Einlage 17 dargestellt, auf welcher die Leuchtstofflampe beim Eindrücken in Arbeitsstellung gegen Federkraft aufliegt. Bei Entriegelung der Leuchtstofflampe reicht die, in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte, Feder unterhalb der Auswurfplatte 16 aus, die Leuchtstofflampe nach oben zu drücken, soweit, daß sie an den federnden,Lappen mit den Noppen 4a und 4b anliegt und gegen Herausfallen gesichert ist.FIG. 2 shows an ejection plate 16 with an insert 17 made of soft plastic, on which the fluorescent lamp rests against spring force when pressed into the working position. When the fluorescent lamp is unlocked, the spring (not shown in the drawing) below the ejection plate 16 is sufficient to push the fluorescent lamp upwards to the extent that it rests on the resilient tabs with the knobs 4a and 4b and is secured against falling out.

In Figur 2 ist schließlich noch eine Schraubenfassung 18 dargestellt, welche zur Aufnahme einer Schraube zur Befestigung der Lampenfassung dient.Finally, FIG. 2 shows a screw socket 18 which serves to receive a screw for fastening the lamp socket.

Die beschriebene Lampenfassung hat gegenüber den bisher üblichen mehrere Vorteile. Zum Einführen einer Leuchtstofflampe brauchen die Kontaktstifte nicht exakt in die Führungsschlitze eingelegt zu werden sondern zentrieren sich beim beliebigen Einlegen der Lampe von selbst. Dabei verschieben die Kontaktstifte der Leuchtstofflampe die Haltestifte 7a und 7b nach außen und gelangen an den Grund der Einführungsschlitze 5a und 5b. Nachdem die Kontaktstifte die Haltestifte 7a und 7b passiert haben, gelangen diese aufgrund der Federkraft des Federteiles 19 in ihre in der Zeichnung dargestellte Grundstellung zurück und verriegeln die Kontaktstifte dort. Gleichzeitig wurde mit dem Einführen der Leuchtstofflampe die Auswurfplatte 16 gegen eine Federkraft nach unten gedrückt. Soll nun die Leuchtstofflampe entnommen werden, so genügt ein Druck auf den Entriegelungsknopf 9, der über die schiefe Ebene 11 und die Noppe 12 an der Verriegelungsplatte 8 die Haltestifte seitwärts verschwenkt. Durch die Federkraft der AuswurFplatte 16 wird die Leuchtstofflampe in dem nun nach oben offenen Einführungsschlitz nach oben gedrückt, bis sie an den Noppen 4a und 4b der federnden Lappen anliegt und gegen Herausfallen gesichert ist. Dabei bleiben die Haltestifte 7a und 7b durch die Kontaktstifte der Leuchtstofflampe auch nach Loslassen des Entriegelungsknopfes zur Seite gedrückt. Nunmehr ist die Leuchtstofflampe von Hand leicht aus der Fassung entnehmbar.The lamp holder described has several advantages over the previously usual. To insert a fluorescent lamp, the contact pins do not need to be inserted exactly into the guide slots, but instead center themselves when the lamp is inserted. The contact pins of the fluorescent lamp move the retaining pins 7a and 7b outward and reach the bottom of the insertion slots 5a and 5b. After the contact pins have passed the holding pins 7a and 7b, they return to their basic position shown in the drawing due to the spring force of the spring part 19 and lock the contact pins there. Simultaneously with the insertion of the fluorescent lamp, the ejection plate 16 was pressed down against a spring force. If the fluorescent lamp is now to be removed, it is sufficient to press the release button 9, which pivots the retaining pins sideways via the inclined plane 11 and the knob 12 on the locking plate 8. Due to the spring force of the ejection plate 16, the fluorescent lamp is in the insertion slot which is now open at the top pressed up until it rests on the knobs 4a and 4b of the resilient tabs and is secured against falling out. The holding pins 7a and 7b remain pressed to the side by the contact pins of the fluorescent lamp even after the release button has been released. The fluorescent lamp can now be easily removed from the holder by hand.

Mit der vorbeschriebenen Ausbildung der Fassung ist somit beim Einlegen einer Leuchtstofflampe kein Eindrehen derselben in die Arbeitsstellung mehr erforderlich, was insbesondere bei dem sehr beschränkten Einbauraum in Flugzeugkabinen ein wesentlicher Vorteil ist. Die eingelegte Lampe ist gegen Herausfallen gesichert und auch nach Entriegelung in der Auswurfstellung noch gegen Herausfallen gehalten, jedoch mit der Hand leicht entnehmbar.With the above-described design of the lampholder, it is therefore no longer necessary to screw it into the working position when inserting a fluorescent lamp, which is a significant advantage in particular given the very limited installation space in aircraft cabins. The inserted lamp is secured against falling out and is held against falling out even after unlocking in the ejection position, but can be easily removed by hand.

Durch das Vorhandensein eines Führungskanals werden etwaige Fehlsteckungen der Leuchtstofflampe, nämlich daB beide Kontaktstifte in einen Einführungsschlitz gelangen können, vermieden.The presence of a guide channel prevents possible misplacement of the fluorescent lamp, namely that both contact pins can get into an insertion slot.
