Abstract

A lamp holding unit includes a coupling terminal and a main body. The coupling terminal includes a coupling plate extended in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of a lamp. The coupling plate has a cutout portion to receive a lead line of the lamp so that the cutout portion of the coupling plate making contact with the lead line. The main body is coupled with the coupling terminal and guiding the lamp. Therefore, an electrical connection between the lamp holding unit and the lead line of the lamp is stabilized, so that noise or spark caused by mal-connection is prevented.

Claims (25)

1. A lamp holding unit comprising:

a coupling terminal including a coupling plate extended in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of a lamp, the coupling plate having a cutout portion to receive a lead line of the lamp so that the cutout portion of the coupling plate making contact with the lead line; and

a main body coupled with the coupling terminal and guiding the lamp;

the coupling terminal further comprises two horizontal plates spaced apart from each other and extended in the longitudinal direction;

two coupling plates extended from the horizontal plates, respectively; and

a connecting plate that connects upper surfaces of the coupling plates, a slit being formed through the connecting plate to guide the lead line.

2. The lamp holding unit of claim 1 , further comprising a securing part connected to the main body to press a side of the coupling terminal, so that the lead line is securely combined with the coupling terminal.

3. The lamp holding unit of claim 1 , wherein the coupling plates and the connecting plate form a U-shape when viewed from a side of the lamp holding unit.

4. The lamp holding unit of claim 1 , wherein a cutting slit is formed through the coupling plate under the lead line.

5. A lamp holding unit comprising:

a coupling terminal including a coupling plate extended in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of a lamp, the coupling plate having a cutout portion to receive a lead line of the lamp so that the coupling plate making contact with the lead line;

a main body coupled with the coupling terminal and guiding the lamp; and

a securing part connected to the main body, so that the lead line is securely combined with the coupling terminal;

a connecting plate connects a plurality of the coupling plates;

wherein the connecting plate connects the upper surfaces of the coupling plates, and a slit is formed through the connecting plate to guide the lead line.

6. The lamp holding unit of claim 5 , wherein the securing part presses the lead line from an upper portion of the cutout portion.

7. The lamp holding unit of claim 5 , wherein the securing part presses a side of the coupling terminal.

8. The lamp holding unit of claim 5 , wherein the coupling plate includes a compressing portion that has a stepwise shape.

9. A lamp holding unit comprising:

a coupling terminal including:

a plurality of coupling plates extended in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of a lamp, each of the coupling plates having a cutout portion to receive a lead line of the lamp so that the cutout portions of the coupling plates making contact with the lead line; and

a connecting plate that connects the coupling plates, the coupling plates and the connecting plate forming a U-shape when viewed from a side of the lamp holding unit; and

a main body coupled with the coupling terminal and guiding the lamp;

the connecting plate connects upper surfaces of the coupling plates, and a slit is formed through the connecting plate to guide the lead line.

10. The lamp holding unit of claim 9 , wherein the coupling terminal further comprises a plurality of horizontal plates connected to the coupling plates, respectively.
