  • Patent number: 9599324
    Abstract: A holder element for holding at least one flat surface-light lamp includes: an elongate, flat plate body having an upper plate side and a lower plate side arranged opposite the upper plate side, and one or more lampholders, which can be fitted on the plate body, for mechanically holding and making electrical contact with a flat surface-light lamp, wherein an engagement portion is formed on each of the two longitudinal ends of the plate body and is formed by a cutout, which extends, in plan view, from the respective longitudinal end of the plate body over the entire width of the plate body in the direction toward the longitudinal center, such that the plate body can be connected at each of its two longitudinal ends to another, identically formed plate body so as to form a form-fitting connection formed by the engagement portions of the adjacent plate bodies.

  • Publication number: 20150241043
    Abstract: A light-emitting element may include at least one flat light emitter, and a housing. The flat light emitter is arranged in the housing in such a way that the housing surrounds a side surface of the flat light emitter partially. The flat light emitter is held in the housing by the side face of the light emitter, and electrical contact is formed therebetween. In order to form the electrical contact, a conductive surface element is arranged on the side surface of the light emitter and a conductive mating surface element is arranged on an inner surface of the housing, which inner surface points towards the side surface. The conductive surface element is guided over an edge region of the flat light emitter from an upper and/or lower side of an element of the flat light emitter to the side surface of the flat light emitter.
