Projector apparatus including a lower holder having lens and lamp fixing slots
View Patent ↗A projector apparatus and a lamp fixation structure for use with the projector apparatus are disclosed. The lamp fixation structure has a lower holder, which includes an integrally formed lower holder lens section and a lower holder lamp section. The lower holder lens section defines a lens fitting slot for fixing a lens, and a lower holder lamp section defines a lamp fitting slot for fixing a lamp. The lens fixing slot includes an upper holder connected to the lower holder. The lamp fixation structure also includes an integrally formed metal holder, which has an elastic top plate, elastic lateral plates, a front plate, an elastic bottom plate, and elastic jointing plates. The inventive lamp fixation structure of the projector apparatus consists of a fewer components and can be assembled in a simple manner, yet it is highly wrought.
1. A projector apparatus adapted to construct imaging light in response to the light received form a light source and project the imaging light onto a front screen, said projector apparatus equipped with a lamp fixation structure for fixing a lamp serving as the light source that includes:
a lower holder having
a lower holder lens section having a front opening, and a lens fixing slot and a protrusion for firmly fixing a lens, said front opening has a diameter smaller than that of said lens, and
a lower holder lamp section defining a lamp fitting slot for fixing a lamp, said lower holder lamp section formed integral with said lower holder lens section;
an upper holder connected to said lower holder; and
an integrally formed metal holder for fixing said lens and lamp.
2. The projector apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said metal holder has an elastic top plate, elastic lateral plates, a front plate, an elastic bottom plate, and elastic joint plates.
3. The projector apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said lower holder lamp section has openings in the opposite side walls thereof.
4. The projector apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein each of said elastic top plate and lateral section has at least one opening.
5. The projector apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said metal holder is made of steel.
6. The projector apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein each of said elastic lateral plates of said metal holder has multiple venting holes.
7. The projector apparatus according to any one of claims 1 - 6 , wherein said lower holder lamp section and lower holder lens section are integrally formed by molding a polymer material.
