  • Patent number: 9651202
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a contact element (3, 3?, 3?), a base (2, 2?, 2?, 2??), a clamping element (4, 4?, 4?), an arrangement (1, 1?, 1?, 1??, 1??, 1???) and a mounting section (301, 301?, 301?) for electrically contacting a light-emitting diode (LED) (100, 100?). In order to conveniently and cost-effectively hold and electrically contact the LED (100, 100?), the present invention provides that the contact element (3, 3?) comprises a mounting section (301, 301?) adapted for mounting the contact element (3, 3?) to the base (2, 2?) in a manner that the contact element (3, 3?) is pivotable about a pivot axis (P) extending through the mounting section (301, 301?), and comprises a contact arm (302, 302?) protruding laterally from the mounting section (301, 301?) and having on a distal end a contact point (303) facing essentially in a contact direction (K) for contacting the LED (100), wherein the contact direction is running essentially in parallel to the pivot axis (P).

  • Patent number: 8348478
    Abstract: A light module includes a light engine that has an LED package having power terminals. A base ring assembly holds the light engine. The base ring assembly has a base ring configured to be mounted to a supporting structure. The base ring has a securing feature. The base ring assembly has a contact holder that holds power contacts. The power contacts are spring biased against the power terminals to create a separable power connection with the power terminals. A top cover assembly is coupled to the base ring. The top cover assembly has a collar surrounding the base ring. The top cover assembly has a securing feature that engages the securing feature of the base ring to couple the collar to the base ring. The collar has a cavity and the optical component is received in the cavity. The optical component is positioned to receive light from the LED package and the optical component is configured to emit the light generated by the LED package.
