Patent number: 8007300Abstract: A bipin fluorescent-lamp holder has a housing formed with an outwardly open housing mouth and a rotor rotatable in the housing adjacent the mouth about an axis and having a diametrally throughgoing rotor slot. The rotor is rotatable between an installation position with the rotor slot aligned with the slot and an angularly offset contact position with the slot not aligned with the mouth. The rotor and housing are so dimensioned as to receive the pins extending parallel to the axis and to move the pins in a circular orbit centered on the axis on rotation of the rotor in the housing, and contacts in the housing diametrally flanking the axis each having a main part lying outside the orbit and a contact part engageable into the orbit. The contacts pins are aligned with the slot and project into ends of the slot and into engagement with the pins only in the contact position of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2010Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: BJB GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7641517Abstract: A lamp base has a projection that carries lamp contacts and has an outer surface formed with retaining formations arrayed with irregular spacing. A socket forms a recess into which the projection can be inserted with play and apertures provided with contacts engageable with the lamp contacts. Retaining formations in the socket fit with the lamp-base retaining formations in only one defined angular alignment of the lamp base and the socket. The projection has a central plug projecting toward the socket and forming a lamp key coded for a predetermined lamp wattage. The socket has a hole corresponding to the plug and itself forming a socket key coded for the maximally admissible lamp wattage for the socket. The lamp base only fits into the socket when the lamp wattage indicated by the lamp key does not exceed the maximally admissible lamp wattage defined by the socket key.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2008Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignees: BJB GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20090203260Abstract: A device for holding a compact fluorescent lamp in a light fixture with a socket 10 and a lamp base is shown and described. The bayonet-type fixing of the lamp base in a socket 10 is effected by means of a plug-and-rotate motion. In order to give manufacturers of light fixtures the possibility of manufacturing light fixtures for lamps with a predetermined or maximally admissible lamp wattage, the invention proposes a key system with seven key pairs. Each key pair comprises a lamp key and a socket key and characterizes a predetermined lamp wattage. Concretely speaking, the socket key is a lug arranged in a hole and the lamp key is a plug corresponding to the socket hole with a outwardly open cutout. In addition, a key system for making predetermined lamp types recognizable is described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2008Publication date: August 13, 2009Inventors: Karl-Wilhelm Vogt, Tobias Brown, Markus Pieper, Albert M.
