Abstract

The invention relates to a light bulb ( 1 ), the end of which is provided with a polymer ceramic base ( 5 ). Said base ( 5 ) is injection molded directly onto the end of the bulb.

Claims (20)

1. A lamp comprising:

a light source;

an enveloping part sealing said light source, the enveloping part having an end;

at least one power supply line being passed from the light source through the end of the enveloping part, and;

at least one contact pin,

a base for providing an electric connection to said power supply line;

wherein the base is fixed to said end of the enveloping part by directly molding the base thereon and the base consists of polymer-ceramic and

wherein the at least one contact pin is manufactured from the same or a similar material to the base.

2. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one contact pin contour is integrally formed on the base.

3. The lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the contact pin contour has a metallic coating.

4. The lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the contact pin contour consists of an electrically conductive polymer-ceramic.

5. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one fuse is inserted in the base, preferably by the material of the polymer-ceramic being injection-molded around the fuse.

6. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one fuse section is integrally formed on the base.

7. The lamp as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the fuse section has a metallic coating or consists of conductive polymer-ceramic.

8. The lamp as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the fuse section is connected to a contact pin via a fuse wire.

9. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base is fixed directly to the enveloping part, preferably by it being injection-molded to the end of the enveloping part.

10. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the enveloping part is an outer envelope or the only bulb or a reflector part.

11. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymer ceramic material of the base is a composite material, which is inorganic, organic or a mixture thereof.

12. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein there are two power supply lines being passed from the light source through the end of the enveloping part.

13. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one metallic contact pin is fixed to the base by the polymer-ceramic adhering to the contact pin by means of injection molding.
