Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fluorescent lamp with a fluorescent lamp tube and with a connecting element for connection to a power source.
  • Fluorescent lamps are used more and more compared to conventional light bulb lamps, because the fluorescent lamps have a longer service life and are more economical in energy consumption.
  • fluorescent lamps Because of the advantages over fluorescent lamps G light bulb lamps, it is desirable, however, to use fluorescent lamps in smaller rooms and to make fluorescent lamps more flexible, so that light bulb lamps can also be used in areas where they are still used exclusively, for example for lighting bedside tables, work tables and the like Fluorescent lamps can be replaced.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a fluorescent lamp that can be easily connected to mains voltage in a wide variety of rooms and arranged with sufficient hold.
  • the object has been achieved according to the invention by a fluorescent lamp which is characterized in that the connecting element is shaped to form a housing carrying the fluorescent lamp tube.
  • the connecting element is preferably designed so that it enables both the energy supply of the fluorescent lamp and the fluorescent lamp in the connected state to hold, so that additional brackets can advantageously be omitted.
  • the connection element can be, for example, a screw base which can be screwed into an electrical lamp socket serving as a current source.
  • the connecting element can also be a cable feed or any connector with electrical contacts.
  • the connection element is preferably provided as a mains plug body Plug contacts projecting on one side and electrically conductively connected to the fluorescent lamp tube, and the region of the plug body opposite the plug contacts is designed as a housing.
  • the fluorescent lamp according to the invention can advantageously be plugged into a mains socket, which is generally present in every room.
  • the fluorescent lamp is connected by plugging into a power outlet to both the mains voltage, arranged and advantageously with a sufficient grip in the N etzsteckdose, since a portion of the plug element itself is designed as a housing, and bears the fluorescent tube.
  • the fluorescent lamp is immediately ready for use, and additional holders on the fluorescent lamp and on the walls or ceilings of the room in which it is to be used can advantageously be dispensed with.
  • the mains plug body is preferably designed as a flat plug, which is also referred to as a Euro plug, so that it can be plugged into any mains socket, in particular also when traveling in socket outlets of different standards, e.g. in a hotel room, can be plugged in.
  • the housing is in a preferred embodiment, corresponding to the fluorescent lamp tube, elongated and the power plug body is arranged centrally on a long side of the housing and protrudes vertically from this long side, so that the plug contacts and the power plug body that the fluorescent lamp in the inserted state in the Hold the mains socket, as little mechanical force as possible.
  • the housing has a length of approximately 17 cm, a width of approximately 4 cm and a height of approximately 2 cm.
  • the housing is preferably in two parts from two separable Hc. lbshells assembled.
  • the two half-shells are of identical design so that they can be interchanged.
  • the plug contacts are preferably arranged in the parting plane of the two half-shells, so that the plug contacts and other parts of the power plug are accessible when the housing is open.
  • the half-shells are particularly inexpensive to produce as injection molded parts, preferably made of plastic.
  • the assembly of the two half-shells forming the housing takes place in a simple manner by plugging together the two half-shells, which have both negative and positive latching elements projecting beyond the parting plane of the half-shells, which with the housing assembled with the matching locking elements of the other half shell are engaged.
  • the interior of the housing is approximately in the form of two mutually parallel, adjacent sleeves, the fluorescent lamp tube is arranged in the first sleeve, an electrical circuit necessary for operating the fluorescent lamp tube is accommodated in the second sleeve and is on the longitudinal narrow side facing away from the first sleeve the second sleeve of the N etzstecker Economics formed.
  • the fluorescent lamp tube and the circuitry required to operate the fluorescent lamp tube can be accommodated in a compact and easily replaceable manner in the two sleeves running parallel to one another.
  • the housing advantageously has only about twice the volume of the fluorescent lamp tube, so that the fluorescent lamp according to the invention is handy and has so little weight that it can be securely held in a mains socket.
  • the power plug body is integrally formed on the second sleeve, which contains the circuit, so that the plug contacts can be electrically connected by short connections to the circuit, and the fluorescent lamp tube points away from the power outlet into the room to be illuminated when the fluorescent lamp is plugged into a power outlet.
  • the spatial shape of the first sleeve is adapted to the fluorescent lamp tube, so that the fluorescent lamp tube can be inserted into this first sleeve and is held in the first sleeve without play.
  • the recess In order to allow the light of the fluorescent lamp tube to exit the housing, he has ste sleeve in its wall on a recess as a window for the fluorescent lamp tube, the recess preferably extending almost over the entire central region of the wall of the first sleeve.
  • the recess is preferably covered, for example, to protect the fluorescent lamp tube and its connection contacts against dust, by a cover or an insert, for example made of transparent plastic.
  • the second sleeve opens into chambers which adjoin the end walls of the first sleeve outside the first sleeve and contact tabs for end connection contacts of the fluorescent lamp tube are arranged in the first sleeve on the end walls and pass through the chambers with the in the second sleeve arranged circuit are electrically connected.
  • the contact lugs are arranged on the end walls of the first sleeve so that the fluorescent lamp tube is electrically connected to the mains plug via its connecting contacts as soon as the fluorescent lamp tube is inserted into the first sleeve without it having to be connected by clamp connections or the like.
  • Guides for the connection contacts of the fluorescent lamp tube can preferably be present in the first sleeve, so that the fluorescent lamp tube can only be inserted into the first sleeve in such a position in which the connection contacts abut the contact tabs.
  • F ig. 1 shows a plan view of a half-shell 1, which can form a connection element with a second identical half-shell 1, which is formed into a housing carrying a fluorescent lamp tube 5.
  • the two half-shells 1 have positive locking elements 2a and negative locking elements 2b, with the aid of which they can be plugged together.
  • the interior of the housing formed by the two half-shells 1 is designed in the form of two sleeves 3, 4 running parallel to one another.
  • the fluorescent lamp tube 5 is inserted, which has connection contacts 6, which bear on contact tabs 7 with electrical contact, which are arranged on the end walls 8 of the first sleeve 3, and with an electrical, not shown, accommodated in the second sleeve 4 Circuit are conductively connected.
  • the second sleeve 4 opens into chambers 9, which adjoin the end walls 8 of the first sleeve 3 and through which the contact lugs 7 with the in the second sleeve 4 cten circuit are connected.
  • the connecting element merges into the housing on the longitudinal narrow side of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the first sleeve 3 and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is a power plug body 11 from which plug contacts 12 protrude, which are electrically indicated by lines 13 with the circuit accommodated in the second sleeve 4 are connected and via which the circuit is supplied with voltage when the plug contacts 12 are plugged into a mains socket.
