Definitions

  • This invention relates to lamp housings adapted preferably to be mounted on a mounting means, such as a panel and in which indicating lamps or other suitable electrical components are mounted.
  • indicating lamps especially in small form, due to miniaturization and other features, has become increasingly important in many fields, such as testing, appliance, communication, automotive, computer, control, etc., in order to provide an indication for various conditions or functions.
  • housings are too large and bulky. Another problem has been that they have more than one separate part. A further problem has been that the housings have not provided suflicient protection to the parts encased therein. An additional problem has been that the housings have not been adaptable for mounting on mounting means of various thicknesses. A still further problem has been that additional means have been used to mount the housings on mounting means which makes the housing difi'icult to mount and dismount.
  • the present invention therefore, obviates the foregoing and other problems, and it is an important object of the present invention to provide a housing which is small in size and not bulky and which is adapted to be utilized in a small space.
  • a further object of the present invent-ion is the provision of a housing which provides sufficient protection to the parts disposed therein.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide a housing which is cheap to manufacture, rugged in construction, long lasting and readily replaceable.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to provide a novel connector member to interconnect the leads of the electrical component disposed in the housing and the electrical supply leads.
  • a still additional object of the present invention is the provision of a combined mounting post and strain relief in the housing.

  • FIGURES 17-20 show an embodiment of the present invention mounted in different size panels; and FIGURE 21 shows a further embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 a one-piece housing H comprising a body B and a cover C.
  • Body B includes a floor 1, walls 2, a sleeve section 3 and stabilizing members 4.
  • Engaging members 5 have substantially the same height as walls 2, and cover C engages them and the tops of the walls in order to be supported thereby when the housing is closed. A space is provided between walls 2 and engaging members 5.
  • Posts 6 are preferably cylindrical in cross-section and each include a tapered section 6' at the outer end and a slot 6" disposed therein. Slot 6" is tapered at the entrance thereof.
  • Wall-s 2 except the end wall adjacent separating member 7, have extensions 2 which are not as thick as walls 2 and whose outer surfaces are in the same plane as the outer surfaces of the walls. Since extensions 2' are not as thick as walls 2, the tops of the Walls provide the support mentioned above for cover C.
  • housing H preferably inclines slightly toward the longitudinal axis thereof.
  • Extensions 2' on the front wall and side walls, except the inclined part, have tapered ends; however, if desired, the extensions on the side walls can be one piece and have a V-shaped notch disposed therein at the point of inclination.
  • Separating members 7 has a projection 7' extending outwardly therefrom.
  • the sides of separating member 7 are spaced from walls 2, and they taper to a point contiguous opening 8.
  • Cover C is hingedly connected to the top end part of separating member 7 by a piece 9, and the section thereof adjacent member 7 is preferably thinner than cover C in order to allow the cover to be easily bent over onto body B.
  • Cover C has a configuration corresponding to that provided by walls 2 and comprises reinforcing projections 10 and an opening 11 therein which engages projection 7 when the cover is placed into position on body B in order to aid in retaining the cover in closed position and to prevent the cover from peeling. Opening 11 is pref- 3 erably tapered in order to easily engage projection 7.
  • Sleeve section 3 has a bore 3' corresponding to the diameter of opening 8 and is in communication therewith.
  • Sleeve section 3 is preferably disposed at right angles to floor 1 but can be disposed at other angular positions with respect thereto depending upon the prevailing conditions.
  • Spaced ribs 12 are on the outer surface of sleeve section 3 and extend outwardly therefrom.
  • the outer part of sleeve section 3 has an outer smooth surface 13 which has a smaller diameter than the part containing ribs 12.
  • the outer end of sleeve section 3 and the outer end of the rib containing part are preferably tapered.
  • Members 4 extend outwardly from floor 1 and are parallel with respect to the axis of sleeve section 3 and can be any predetermined length. While only three have been shown, it is obvious that more can be provided.
  • Housing H is made of any suitable dielectric material such as nylon, polypropylene, etc., and is preferably molded; however, it can be made in any manner to attain the desirable result.
  • Connector element CE which is adapted to engage each of posts 6.
  • the connector element is preferably formed by conventionally stamping a sheet metal blank or strip of a suitable, electrically-conductive material such as brass, bronze or other alloy; the metal being sufficiently hard to provide excellent spring quality thereto.
  • Connector element CE comprises a ferrule portion F and an engaging portion E.
  • Ferrule portion F includes conductor engaging section 14 and insulation engaging section 15 for engaging a conductor means (not shown). If desired, insulation engaging section 15 can be eliminated and only conductor engaging section 14 can be utilized to mechanically and electrically secure the conductor of conductor means 16 as shown in FIGURES 11-13 by cold-forging techniques disclosed in US. Patent 2,600,- 012. Of course, the conductor can be secured to the ,connector element by other means, if desired.
  • Post-engaging portion E comprises a cup-shaped section 17 having an aperture 18 in the bottom thereof with radial slits 19 extending outwardly therefrom to form substantially triangularly-shaped spring engaging members 20 which resiliently engage posts 6 (see FIGURE FIGURES 7 and 8 show an embodiment of the connector element designated CE.
  • connector element CE is similar to FIGURES 5 and 6 except instead of a ferrule portion F, there is provided a tab portion T extending outwardly from engaging portion E.
  • Tab portion T is connected to cup-shaped section 17 by an intermediate section 21 connected to the top of cup-shaped section 17.
  • Intermediate section 21 has extending outwardly from each surface thereof projections 21 which provide strength therefor.
  • tab portion T is preferably tapered at the sides and ends to facilitate the insertion thereon of a suitable connector element (not shown) such as the receptacle connector element disclosed in US. Patent Nos. 2,774,951 and 2,791,755.
  • Tab portion T also preferably includes lugs 22 extending outwardly from each side which act as stop means to prevent the receptacle connector element from passing therebeyond.
  • FIGURES 9 and 10 illustrate the lens structure L which has a tubular section 23 whose inside diameter is slightly greater than surface 13 of sleeve section 3 onto which the lens is mounted.
  • the entrance to section 23 is tapered in order to facilitate the insertion of the lens onto sleeve section 3.
  • Lens section 24 extends across one end of section 23 and preferably has an inner serrated or scored surface and an outer smooth curved surface.
  • An annular flange 25 extends outwardly from the outer surface of tubular section 23 adjacent lens section 24.
  • Spaced ribs 23' also are disposed on the outer surface of tubular section 23 and the height thereof and the spacing therebetween preferably correspond-s to those of ribs 12 of sleeve section 3.
  • the outer ends of ribs 23 are preferably tapered to facilitate easy insertion within an aperture of a mounting means.
  • Lens structure L is preferably molded from a suitable plastic material such as nylon, Plexiglas, glass, etc., and can be made in different colors such as, red, orange, amber, yellow or natural (clear) thereby providing interchangeable color combinations. While the lens structure is provided with different colors, the housing is preferably one color. Also, the lens structure can be made into other desirable shapes.
  • FIGURE 11 shows the housing H in an open position in order to receive a conventional lamp 26, such as a neon lamp means having lead wires 27, 28 extending outwardly therefrom; a proper size resistor 29 having one lead 31) serially connected to lead 28 and another lead 31; connector elements CE provided with conductor means 16; and lens structure 1. While a neon lamp means has been described, it is to be understood that an incandescent lamp means or other similar lamp means can also be used in place thereof.
  • lamp means 26 is disposed within sleeve 3; resistor 29 is disposed between the front wall and engaging members 5; lead wire 27 is disposed in theslot of respective post 6; lead wire 31 is disposed between an engaging member 5 and a side wall and in the slot of respective post 6; and the cupshaped section 17 of each connector element is forced onto each post 6 through aperture 18 so that each lead wire is bent against the sides of post 6 and against floor 1 by spring-engaging members 20 and the bottom of the cupshaped section.
  • Spring-engaging members 20 engage their corresponding posts 6 in such a manner to provide a secure engagement therebetween which in turn, provides excellent electrical connection as well as excellent retention properties thereby obviating electrical and mechanical disconnection.
  • cover C is then folded into position thereover as shown in FIGURE 12 into engagement with engaging members 5, walls 2, and posts 6, separating member 7 and projection 7' passes through opening 11. Heat is applied to extensions 2 in order to bend them into engagement with cover C where they remain in order to maintain the cover in position.
  • part of the insulation of conductor means 16 is disposed within the housing. Thus, no bare parts of the electrical components are uncovered thereby providing a housing structure which is compact, strong and one piece.
  • connector elements CE of FIGURES 7 and 8 may be utilized so that no conductor means are permanently connected in the housing, but the tab portions thereof extend outwardly from the housing and are engaged by connector elements such as that disclosed in the above-mentioned patents. This enables the oonductor means to be quickly connected and disconnected from the assembly when necessary.
  • FIGURES 15 and 16 show the embodiment described hereinabove mounted in panel means P.
  • housing H is disposed in an opening of aperture 32 of panel means P which has a thickness greater than sleeve section 3 of housing H.
  • Aperture 32 has a diameter between the outside diameter provided by ribs 12 and the outer surface of sleeve 3 so that when sleeve 3 is inserted within aperture 32, it will be retained therein by ribs 12 as a result of frictional engagement therebetween.
  • members 4 engage panel means P in order to limit the inward movement of sleeve 3 within aperture 32.
  • Members 4 can be provided with a predetermined length during molding of the housing or can be provided with a length equal to the ribbed section of sleeve 3 and cut to the desired length when the housing is to be inserted in a panel means.
  • Lens structure L is inserted within the other opening of aperture 32 and is retained therein by ribs 23' in a similar manner as the housing.
  • Flange 25 abuts against panel means P to limit the inner movement of the lens.
  • a housing which can be retained within an aperture of a panel means which has a thickness greater than the part of the housing disposed therein. The same is true with regard to the lens structure.
  • FIGURE 16 is similar to that of FIGURE except panel means P is thinner than that of FIGURE 15 so that members 4 are longer and lens structure L engages surface 13.
  • the housing and lens structure can therefore be disposed on panel means of various thicknesses.
  • the ribs of the housing and lens structure frictionally engaging the aperture and the frictional engagement of the lens structure on the housing provide an excellent mounting on panel means P.
  • members 4 engaging the panel means provide stability so that the housing cannot be easily rocked, thereby causing the housing to be worked free of its mounted position.
  • the housing and lens structure have been described as separate elements, it is obvious that they can be formed as an integral unit. If this is the desired structure, the lens can still be various colors which naturally will render the unit the same color as that of the lens, and, of course, the flange will not be necessary.
  • FIGURES 17-20 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention which is the same as the embodiment described above except that no stabilizing members 4 are provided on housing H. Instead of members 4, there is provided a spacer sleeve 4 of suitable material such as plastic, metal, etc., which has an inside diameter between the outside diameter provided by ribs 12 and the outer surface of sleeve 3.
  • housing H and lens structure L are disposed in aperture 32 of panel means P as in FIGURE 15, and since the panel means is thick enough, no spacer sleeve is necessary.
  • a spacer sleeve is utilized in order to provide stability in FIGURE 18 and in FIGURES l9 and 20, the spacer sleeve not only provides stability but also part of the mounting means.
  • the length of spacer sleeve 4 is determined by the thickness of the panel means in the same manner as members 4.
  • FIGURES 15 and 17 show a panel means of large thickness, greater thicknesses can be used. If this be the case, then the aperture can be coated with a reflective substance in order to aid the transmission of light from the lamp means.
  • FIGURE 21 shows a further embodiment of the present invention which comprises a housing H" similar to that in FIGURES 17-20 but preferably with the surface 13 eliminated, and sleeve 3' is retained in an opening in panel means P" by ribs 12.
  • Lens structure L is smaller than sleeve 3 and is disposed in a smaller opening in the panel means which is in communication with the sleeve opening.
  • housing H" and lens structure L' without a flange can be an integral unit and the ribs on the sleeve and lens structure would provide adequate retention characteristics to maintain the housing in place.
  • housing H and H" adjacent the sleeve in FIGURES 17 and 21 engages the mounting or panel means thereby providing stability therefor as does members 4 and spacer sleeve 4' in FIGURES 16 and 17-20.
  • the present invention provides for the removal of the housing from the mounting means while leaving the lens structure thereon, if these elements are separate; and the housing keeps the electrical components and their lead wires in place thereby preventing accidental shifting causing shorts.
  • An insulative housing for containing electrical components comprising a body portion having a sleeve section and a cover section hingedly connected thereto, post means disposed on said body portion, means engaging said post means to make electrical connection with the electrical components in said body portion, said post means providing strain relief for the electrical connection and means to maintain said cover section in a closed position on said body portion overlying said electrical components.
  • a housing for containing a light bulb comprising a body portion of dielectric material having a base and Walls, a sleeve section extending outwardly from said base at substantially right angles thereto in which said light bulb is disposed, a cover member hingedly connected to one of said walls, post means on said base within said walls on which electrical leads of the light bulb are disposed, means engaging said post means for interconnecting the light bulb leads and the electrical supply leads, said post means thereby providing electrical connection for the electrical leads and strain relief therefor, and means to maintain said cover member in a closed position on said body portion.
  • a housing according to claim 9 wherein said stabilizing means is a sleeve element frictionally engaging the sleeve section.
  • a housing of insulative plastic material having a body portion, a sleeve portion and a cover portion, said body portion including a base and walls, post members on said base, said sleeve portion extending outwardly from said base at substantially right :igles thereto, said cover portion being hingedly conected to said body portion, said electrical leads disposed n said post members, connection mean including conuctor means engaging said post members to interconnect aid electrical leads and conductor means, said post memers providing strain relief for the electrical connection, staining ribs on said sleeve portion for frictionally iounting said housing in an aperture of a panel, and leans for maintaining said cover portion in a closed posiion over said body portion.
