Abstract: A lamp base has a plastic base part and a sprung metal ring, which is fixed to the plastic base part by webs integrally formed on the metal ring, the webs being designed such that there is a clamping fit between the webs and the plastic base part. The lamp base is preferably part of a vehicle headlamp.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lamp base having a color coding, the coding being formed by a plastic part, which is made from a colored plastic material. In addition, the invention relates to a lamp, preferably a vehicle lamp, having such a lamp base.

Abstract: A base for a headlight lamp, which has a plastic base part having at least two electrical connections, which have a first end with a contact face, the first ends protruding from the base part when mounted such that the contact faces are perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the headlight lamp, and a second end to be connected to a power supply wire and extends parallel to the longitudinal extent of the headlight lamp. For each electrical connection, the first and second ends are connected to one another by a central section, and these central sections are embedded in the plastic of the base part and the second ends are bent back from the respective central section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a headlight lamp whose base (9) has a plastic ring (13) in which there are embedded at least two contact lugs (13a–13c) designed as electric terminals. The contact lugs (13a–13c) are arranged in a common plane perpendicular to the ring axis (13) and in each case project in the radial direction from the plastic ring (13).

Abstract: The invention relates to a base for a headlight lamp, which has a plastic base part (21) having at least two electrical connections (6, 7), which are each made from a metal sheet and have a first end (61, 71) provided with a contact face, the first ends (61, 71) protruding from the base part (21) when mounted such that the contact faces are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the headlight lamp, and the at least two electrical connections (6, 7) each having a second end (62, 72), which is to be connected to a power supply wire and extends parallel to the longitudinal extent of the headlight lamp.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an electric lamp, in particular the application of an optical shield (5) to a cylindrical part of the lamp vessel (2). According to the invention, the optical shield (5) is applied to the lamp vessel (2) with the aid of at least two prefabricated opaque wax films (5a, 5b) which are provided with a colored layer and are joined in such a way that the width of the transparent window can be set independently of tolerances of the diameter of the lamp vessel (2). The wax of the films (5a, 5b) is vaporized by a heat treatment such that only the heat resistant colored layer remains on the lamp vessel (2).

Abstract: To ensure reliable electric contact, a discharge lamp has a tubular lamp vessel (1), a lamp base (4) and lamp electrodes (2, 3) which are applied to the wall of the lamp vessel (1) and in each case have an electrode section (20, 30) which is arranged outside the interior (11) of the lamp vessel (1) and serves as supply lead. The electric base contacts (5, 6) are connected in each case to an electrically conductive spring element (8, 9), each spring element (8, 9) bearing against the wall of the at least one tubular lamp vessel (1) and making an electric contact between in each case one electrode section (20, 30), arranged outside the lamp vessel (1), and a base contact (5, 6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle headlight lamp having a metal-plastic cap whose electric connections are constructed as contact lugs (16, 17). According to the invention, the two contact lugs (16, 17) in each case have a groove (16c, 17c) in which in each case a supply lead wire (12, 13) which is guided out of the lamp bulb is fixed to the corresponding contact lug (16, 17) by a welded joint. Furthermore, the contact lugs (16, 17) are equipped with means (16f, 17f) for threading the supply lead wires (12, 13) into the respective groove (16c, 17c) and the lamp cap has at least one cut-out (18) which serves the purpose of carrying out the welding of the supply lead wires (12, 13), arranged in the grooves (16c, 17c), to the contact lugs (16, 17).
