  • Patent number: 6863426
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reflector which provides for good ventilation of a light source located in the said reflector and facilitates the passage of the reflector on production lines for the purpose of covering an internal surface of the reflector with powder. To this end, there is proposed according to the invention a reflector in which a reflector and a lamp holder are produced separately, prior to being interlocked. The reflector produced thus comprises a set of supports which are arranged such that a light source subsequently fitted in the reflector can be ventilated in a satisfactory manner. The lamp holder is interlocked with the reflector on the supports by means of centering pins and assembly studs.

  • Publication number: 20040027835
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reflector device (300) which provides for good ventilation of a light source located in the said device and facilitates the passage of the reflector device on production lines for the purpose of covering an internal surface (310) of the reflector device with powder. To this end, there is proposed according to the invention a reflector device in which a reflector element (301) and a lamp holder element (302) are produced separately, prior to being interlocked. The reflector element (301) produced thus comprises a set of supports (303; 304; 305) which are arranged such that a light source subsequently fitted in the reflector device (300) can be ventilated in a satisfactory manner. The lamp holder element (302) is interlocked with the reflector element (301) on the supports by means of centering pins (316) and assembly studs (317).
