  • Patent number: 8162528
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lamp base (2), in particular a lamp base for a vehicle lamp, the lamp base having a plastic base part (20) with at least one molded stub (21), wherein the plastics material of the plastic base part is mixed with reinforcing fibers (4), the orientation of which in the stub has a preferential direction. This allows the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the stubs to be advantageously increased.
