Abstract

An electric lamp having a longitudinal axis is provided. The electric lamp may include a base; and a built-in lamp, which has a pinch seal. Two power supply lines protrude out of the pinch seal. Two pins for connection to the power supply lines are provided on the base side. In each case one pin and one power supply line are connected by means of a mounting clip. A mounting clip is a punched sheet-metal part having a bottom which is configured so as to be substantially rectangular with a width B and a length L. Two spring arms are attached to the bottom, which spring arms surround the pinch seal of the built-in lamp. In each case one means for fastening a pin and one means for fastening a power supply line are provided on the mounting clip.

Claims (52)

1. An electric lamp having a longitudinal axis, the electric lamp comprising:

a base; and

a built-in lamp, which has a pinch seal;

wherein two power supply lines protrude out of the pinch seal; and

wherein two pins for connection to the power supply lines are provided on the base side;

wherein in each case one pin and one power supply line are connected by means of a mounting clip;

wherein a mounting clip is a punched sheet-metal part having a bottom which is configured so as to be substantially rectangular with a width B and a length L;

wherein two spring arms are attached to the bottom, which spring arms surround the pinch seal of the built-in lamp;

wherein in each case one means for fastening a pin and one means for fastening a power supply line are provided on the mounting clip.

2. The electric lamp of claim 1 ,

configured as a halogen incandescent lamp.

3. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the first spring arm is attached to the bottom directly at the top and is bent so as to point outwards.

4. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the second spring arm is attached to the bottom via a connecting part, which rests laterally on the bottom and is angled, and said second spring arm is configured and shaped in such a way that it has a configuration and shape which is substantially mirror-inverted with respect to the first spring arm and is opposite said first spring arm.

5. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the spring arms have reinforcing ribs.

6. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the spring arms are assembled from two sections;

wherein a first section of the first spring part lies in the plane of the bottom, while the second section of the first spring part is moved from the first plane into a second plane via a right-angled bend.

7. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the connecting part forms a first U-shaped profile.

8. The lamp as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein a receptacle-like extension part is attached laterally to the bottom, as means for receiving a pin.

9. The lamp as claimed in claim 3 ,

wherein the means for receiving a power supply line is formed by a U-shaped profile, which is formed by the connecting part being bent back and the first section, attached thereto, of the second spring arm together with the bottom part.

10. An electric lamp having a longitudinal axis, the electric lamp comprising:

a base; and

a built-in lamp having a pinch seal;

two power supply lines protruding out of the pinch seal; and

two pins connected to the power supply lines on the base side;

wherein in each case one pin and one power supply line are connected by means of a mounting clip;

wherein a mounting clip is a punched sheet-metal part having a bottom which is configured so as to be substantially rectangular;

wherein two spring arms are attached to the bottom, wherein the spring arms surround the pinch seal of the built-in lamp;

wherein in each case a fastener configured to fasten a pin and to fasten a power supply line is provided on the mounting clip.

11. The electric lamp of claim 10 ,

configured as a halogen incandescent lamp.

12. The lamp as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein the first spring arm is attached to the bottom directly at the top and is bent so as to point outwards.

13. The lamp as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein the second spring arm is attached to the bottom via a connecting part, which rests laterally on the bottom and is angled, and said second spring arm is configured and shaped in such a way that it has a configuration and shape which is substantially mirror-inverted with respect to the first spring arm and is opposite said first spring arm.

14. The lamp as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein the spring arms have reinforcing ribs.

15. The lamp as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein the spring arms are assembled from two sections;

wherein a first section of the first spring part lies in the plane of the bottom, while the second section of the first spring part is moved from the first plane into a second plane via a right-angled bend.

16. The lamp as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein the connecting part forms a first U-shaped profile.

17. The lamp as claimed in claim 10 ,

wherein a receptacle-like extension part is attached laterally to the bottom to receive a pin.

18. The lamp as claimed in claim 12 ,

wherein the means for receiving a power supply line is formed by a U-shaped profile, which is formed by the connecting part being bent back and the first section, attached thereto, of the second spring arm together with the bottom part.
