Patent number: 7422341Abstract: An electrical light has a tubular sheet-metal housing centered generally on an axis and formed with a plurality of angularly spaced, radially inwardly projecting, and radially elastically deflectable spring tongues. A socket in the housing holds a light bulb. A cup-shaped glass lens has a dome formed with a generally cylindrical collar dimensioned to fit into the housing with the dome fitting over a light bulb in the socket. The collar is formed with a plurality of angularly spaced and radially outwardly open L-shaped grooves each fittable with a respective one of the tongues. Each groove has an axially extending and open leg and an angularly extending leg. The angularly extending legs each have an outer flank and an inner flank between the respective outer flank and the dome.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2007Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: BJB GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6692308Abstract: A lampholder has a socket having an inner end, formed with seats adapted to hold contacts, and forming an outwardly open hole defining an axis and adapted to fit with a base of a high-voltage lamp and a base fittable against the inner end and having a floor formed with an axially throughgoing hole. A clip is formed with a bight engaged in the hole, a pair of arms extending from respective ends of the bight axially outward into the socket, outer tabs on the arms bearing axially inward on the socket, and inner tabs at the bight bearing axially outward on the floor of the base so that the clip holds the socket and base together.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: BJB GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6648691Abstract: A lampholder has a socket having an inner end and formed with an outwardly open lamp seat defining an axis and adapted to fit with a base of a high-voltage lamp and with a pair of inwardly open blind contact holes. A base fitted against the inner end and formed at the contact holes with respective contact seats has a floor formed in line with each contact hole with an axially throughgoing aperture. Respective contacts in the contact seats are each formed with an abutment arm extending along a wall of the respective contact hole and a spring arm extending into the respective contact hole and elastically deformable from a rest position closely juxtaposed with the respective abutment arm to a holding position spaced therefrom. Thus a conductor pushed through one of the apertures into the respective contact hole will wedge between the contact arms.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2002Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: BJB GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Dieter Henrici, Herbert Beleke

Patent number: 6626707Abstract: A lampholder has an outer sleeve centered on an axis and having a radially inwardly projecting lug having an axially inwardly directed end face and an inner core adapted to fit with a lamp, fittable inside the sleeve, and formed with an axially inwardly directed face axially alignable and engageable with the outer-sleeve end face on rotation of the core in the sleeve in a predetermined sense in a fully inserted position of the inner core in the sleeve. Interengageable retaining formations on the core and on the sleeve inhibit rotation of the core in the sleeve opposite to the predetermined sense when the faces are axially aligned with and engage each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2002Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: BJB GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Dieter Henrici, Erwin Lingemann

Patent number: 6570306Abstract: A lamp holder has a socket housing forming a seat centered on an axis, and a contact fitted to the seat and formed unitarily with a pair of opposite generally axially extending sides flanking the axis. A front finger extending generally axially from one of the sides has a pair of opposite edges and therebetween a face directed radially toward the axis and pressing the lamp contact pin transversely of the axis against the other side. A back finger extending from the other side offset laterally from the front finger has an outer edge juxtaposed with the one side. The conductive core is pinched between the outer edge and the one side laterally adjacent the front finger and bears laterally against one of the edges of the front finger.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2000Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: BJB GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6561828Abstract: A fluorescent-lamp socket has a hollow dielectric housing, and a pair of identical conductive contact elements in the housing, each contact element is unitarily formed with an outer lamp-contacting end adapted to engage a respective pin of the lamp, an inner wiring end formed as a wire-engaging clip, a center part extending between the respective inner and outer ends, and an elastic tongue unitarily formed with the respective center part and projecting transversely toward the other contact element. The contact elements are formed of resilient sheet metal. The housing can include a web projecting between and holding apart the elastic tongues. Alternately it can be constructed such that either the tongues bear on each other and electrically interconnect the contact elements or each tongue bears on the center part of the other contact element to electrically interconnect the contact elements.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Brokelmann, Jaeger & Busse, GmbH & Co.Inventors: Dieter Henrici, Hartmut Greschner, Wolfgang Standop

Patent number: 6422716Abstract: Two substantially identical LED modules each have a nonconductive base having a straight edge and a pair of faces, at least one LED on the base, and two conductive traces on the base connected to the LED and forming on one of the faces inner and outer contacts spaced along a line perpendicular from the edge with the outer contact between the inner contact and the edge. The modules are juxtaposed at the edges with the lines aligned with each other and the one faces generally coplanar. A clip has a nonconductive body bearing on the one faces of both of the bases at the edges and two respective conductors on the clip body having portions spaced apart along the aligned lines and bearing on the contacts of both bases. The clip body and conductors are pressed against the bases to engage the conductors with the respective contacts and secure the bases together.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2001Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: BJB GmbH & Co.
