Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical contact element for use in a lamp holder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the closest prior art is an electrical contact element, at which the contact area laterally offset from the connection lug is arranged and a between the contact area and the terminal lug Intermediate area located U-shape with legs (US-A-5350322).
  • the object of the present invention is a novel to create a designed electrical contact element which is capable of to perform its function perfectly over a long period of time and which can be used with different lamp holders.
  • the offset of the contact area results from the Connection lug an extended area of application, so that even with different Lamps, for example a brake light lamp, a turn signal lamp or Taillight lamp the construction according to the invention can be used.
  • the leg of the U-shaped intermediate area can moreover one Have contact arm, which runs in the same plane as the leg.
  • the connection lug is at a right angle to the leg of the U-shaped intermediate area and a smaller width than the width of the leg.
  • a simplification in the production results in that between the Contact arm and the radius area of the connection lug a recess in Shape of a radius can be arranged.
  • connection lug and the contact arm a greater material thickness than the material thickness of the intermediate area and the Have contact area.
  • the entire contact element is integrally formed.
  • it can Contact element also one of two interconnected parts be different unit thickness existing unit, preferably the Contact arm and the connecting lug with the leg of the U-shaped Intermediate area are butt welded.
  • FIG. 1 shows an electrical contact element 1 made of metal, which is used in a lamp holder 2 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 electrical contact element 1 is with one of a contact 3 of a lamp 4 (see Fig. 3) actable contact area 5 and an associated Provide connection lug 6.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 in particular show that the contact area 5 is opposite the connecting lug 6 is laterally offset.
  • Between the Contact area 5 and the connecting lug 6 is U-shaped according to FIG. 1 trained intermediate area 8, which via a connecting arm 10 is connected to the contact area 5.
  • the intermediate region 8 has a radius region 12, which for Terminal lug 6 leads.
  • U-shaped intermediate region 8 has three legs 14, 15 and 16.
  • connecting zones z 1 , z 2 , z 3 and z 4 which are each designed as radii. These radii are essential to the invention, since this increases the service life of the entire electrical contact element 1.
  • the lateral offset between the contact area 5 and the connecting lug 6 brings the advantage that the contact element 1 of the invention is versatile is applicable, for example with a brake light or a rear light with the positions left and right. This allows the invention Contact element 1 in a simple manner in a lamp holder 2 according to FIG. 4 install and ensures a long service life Reliability.
  • leg 16 of the U-shaped intermediate area 8 has a contact arm 20.
  • This contact arm 20 runs in the same plane like the leg 16.
  • the connecting lug 6 at right angles to the leg 16 of the U-shaped intermediate region 8 runs and has a smaller width b than the width B of the leg 16.
  • the width b of the connecting lug 6 is preferably less than half that Width B of the leg 16.
  • a recess 22 in the form of a Radius arranged. The contact arm 20 is necessary for a later one Disassembly from the lamp holder housing in a simple way sure.
  • FIG. 1 also shows that the terminal lug 6 and Contact arm 20 a greater material thickness D than the material thickness d of Have intermediate area 8 and the contact area 5.
  • the entire contact element 1 is integrally formed.
  • the contact element one of two interconnected parts different unit thicknesses existing unit, preferably the Contact arm 20 and the connecting lug 6 with the leg 16 of the U-shaped Intermediate area 8 can be butt welded.
