  • Publication number: 20060238121
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical incandescent lamp (1), in particular a halogen incandescent lamp, in which luminous element limbs (14, 16) extend in lamp vessel structural parts (42, 44), the lamp vessel structural parts surrounding the luminous element limbs in sections at a distance, and the axes of the lamp vessel structural parts (42, 44) extending at a distance from one another in order to increase the energy efficiency of the incandescent lamp, in particular if a layer (42a, 44a) which reflects IR radiation is applied to the lamp vessel structural parts. When using the pinch-sealing technology, it is possible to achieve a small system voltage halogen lamp having a long life expectancy and at the same time requiring little energy for reaching the operating temperature.

  • Publication number: 20060132016
    Abstract: The subject matter of the disclosure is a PAR lamp arrangement having an integral lamp, in particular an integral halogen lamp, which is inserted into a base and is surrounded at least in sections by a reflector, the base and the integral lamp being connected via contact springs, and the reflector being covered by a diffusing screen. According to the invention, the reflector is made from aluminum and is provided with a reflective surface or coating. Owing to the aluminum reflector used and the fact that the integral lamp is held via contact springs, improved holding of the integral lamp is made possible with reduced weight and production complexity.

  • Publication number: 20060006801
    Abstract: Disclosed is a halogen incandescent lamp having a lamp vessel, which is sealed at one end and in which at least one luminous element is accommodated, a vessel section 42 being in the form of a side reflector which extends only over a subregion of the lamp vessel circumference. A light-exit window 40 adjoins this vessel section 42 in the circumferential direction. According to the invention, the light-exit window 40 is comparatively slightly curved in cross section, the vessel section 42 forming the side reflector bulging out away from the light-exit window 40. This bulged-out region is preferably provided with a kidney-shaped constriction 46.

  • Publication number: 20050260090
    Abstract: The invention herein relates to pumps and valving arrangements for fluid dispensers. The invention further relates to dispensers incorporating a pump. The pumps herein comprise a dose chamber, a resilient actuator, valves for controlling the flow of fluid into and out of the dose chamber and the upper and lower pump halves each formed from unitary mouldings, at least the upper pump half comprising a semirigid, thermoplastic material. The pumps are easily made via injection moulding from a small number of parts. Combination of the pump with a fluid reservoir provides a fluid dispenser which may further comprise an atomiser for forming a spray as fluid is ejected from a dispenser outlet. Methods of making the pump and valving arrangements are also provided by the invention.

  • Patent number: 6918710
    Abstract: An improved package, suitable for holding a treatment fluid comprising a volatile solvent and kits comprising the package containing the treatment fluid and an applicator are disclosed. The package comprises a reservoir for the liquid which is sealed by a ruturable seal. A cap, coupled to one end of the reservoir, is in the form of a sleeve which is axially translatable along the reservoir from first to second positions. A cutting tool integrated with the cap ruptures the rupturable seal as the cap is moved from first to second positions so that the liquid can thereby be made accessible through an opening in an end wall of the cap. The package provides excellent protection for volatile liquids, yet can be easily opened by a simple press-action, instantly providing access to the liquid so that it can subsequently accessed by a liquid applicator.

  • Patent number: 6514445
    Abstract: A process for forming a grooming implement is provided. The steps include providing a blank having a head and a handle, wherein the head has one or more void spaces which divide said head into at least two segments, and injecting an elastomer into the void space at a temperature of at least about 245° C. thereby fusing the elastomer to the segments and forming a resiliently flexible joint. The elastomer is the sole mechanical link between the segments such that the segments can flex relative to each other and the elastomer can be stretched to about 120% of its unstressed length without separation of the elastomer from the segments.

  • Patent number: 6060820
    Abstract: A reflector lamp may be made with a reflector and base holding a hermeticy sealed bulb. The bulb encloses a filling and a light source, the light source being a high voltage or medium voltage light source in which an operating voltage of at least 80 volts is present. The reflector consists of a basic body with a reflector contour and a neck part attached to a rear portion of the basic body, and a base which is joined to the neck part and which has at least two metallic contact pins with cylindrical seals on an end farthest from the bulb. A current feeder system makes an electrical lead available for use by the light source. The base is formed completely from the same material as the neck part and as an integral part directly on the neck part of the reflector.

  • Patent number: 5883469
    Abstract: Halogen bulb without additional safety device for high-volt/intermediate-t operation with a bulb pinched on one side produces an inherent safety effect by producing a current lead segment that is pinched from an uncoiled wire with a diameter of 130 .mu.m at most and the distance between the two current leads is suitably selected.

  • Patent number: 5686783
    Abstract: To retain an electric lamp bulb (1), without cement, in a base sleeve (2), nd provide a strain relief for insulated connection leads (6, 7) extending from the lamp, the base is formed of a metallic base sleeve having two opposite side walls (2a, 2b); a base block formed of two parts (3a, 3b) is located within the base sleeve, the parts being essentially F-shaped defining recesses which, when the parts are placed against each other with the recesses facing each other, form through openings (4, 5) within which the electrical connection leads (6, 7) are located. The parts are slightly smaller than the width of the base sleeve, and, upon deformation of the side walls of the base sleeve, for example by forming inwardly projecting dimples (9), the parts are shifted against each other and the insulated electrical connection leads are thereby clamped in the through openings, providing strain relief.
