Lamp housing and operating lamp having a lamp housing
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a lamp housing ( 1 ) for an operating lamp ( 2 ), in which lamp housing at least one illuminant ( 3 ) can be installed, said lamp housing comprising: a housing body ( 4 ); a closure element ( 5 ), which closes the housing body ( 4 ); and a bearing device ( 6 ) for fastening the lamp housing ( 1 ) to a supporting device ( 7 ). The lamp housing ( 1 ) has a support ( 8 ) formed separately from the housing body ( 4 ), by means of which support a force introduced via the closure element ( 5 ) and/or a weight force of the lamp housing ( 1 ) can be transferred to the bearing device ( 6 ). The invention further relates to an operating lamp ( 2 ) having a lamp housing ( 1 ), in which lamp housing an illuminant ( 3 ) is installed in a dust-tight manner.
1. A lamp housing for an operating lamp in which lamp housing is adapted for the installation of at least one illuminant, said lamp housing comprising a housing body with a shell-shaped upper part and a shell-shaped lower part being formed separate from the upper part, a closure element which closes the housing body by fastening the lower part to the upper part, and a bearing device for fastening the lamp housing to a supporting device, characterized in that the lamp housing has a support formed separately from the housing body which support is completely arranged inside the lamp housing and which support is in the form of a cross-beam forming a closed frame structure and by means of which a force introduced via the closure element or a weight force of the lamp housing is transferred to the bearing device.
2. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the closure element is fastened to the support via a connection element.
3. The lamp housing according to claim 2 , wherein the lamp housing includes a gripping device or a covering device, wherein the gripping device or the covering device is adapted to be fastened to the closure element while covering the connection element.
4. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the lower part being light-transparent at least in the region of an optical path produced by the illuminant.
5. The lamp housing according to claim 4 , wherein the closure element fastens the lower part to the upper part.
6. The lamp housing according to claim 4 , wherein the support is made from steel or the upper part is made from polyurethane or the lower part is made from tempered glass.
7. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the closure element is in the form of a holding ring which is disposed centrally on the lamp housing.
8. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the closure element includes an annular portion which passes through a recess of the lower part and a flange portion radially outwardly projecting from the annular portion which flange portion abuts on an outer face of the lower part.
9. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein for sealing an interior of the lamp housing, the lamp housing includes a housing body seal interposed between the upper part and the lower part or a closure seal interposed between the lower part and the closure element.
10. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the support forms a frame structure.
11. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the support and the housing body are made from different materials, wherein the material of the support has a higher strength or rigidity than the material of the housing body.
12. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the closed frame structure is formed by longitudinal struts and cross struts.
13. The lamp housing according to claim 1 , wherein the closed frame structure extends inside the housing body from the supporting device to beyond a center of the lamp housing or beyond the closure element.
14. A lamp housing for an operating lamp in which lamp housing is adapted for the installation of at least one illuminant, said lamp housing comprising a housing body, a closure element which closes the housing body, and a bearing device for fastening the lamp housing to a supporting device, characterized in that the lamp housing has a support formed separately from the housing body which support is in the form of a cross-beam forming a closed frame structure and by means of which a force introduced via the closure element or a weight force of the lamp housing is transferred to the bearing device, wherein the closed frame structure comprises an inner strut forming, together with a part of the frame structure, an inner closed frame structure surrounding the closure element.
