Description

GERMAN

The invention relates to a flashlight device used to hold several flashlight lamps, consisting of a fixed, with means for insertion into the ignition current source receiving luminaire housing provided part and a support member rotatably connected to this for the lamp sockets that connect one after the other to the power source when the support member is turned.

As is well known, flash lamps, as they are used in photography, can only be used once. used and must then be replaced. This exchange, in particular, then as a hindrance A secondary circumstance is felt when a large number of images are taken one after the other can be avoided by using so-called flashlight lamp holders. Included one carrier is used for several lamps, which is often undetachable on the associated battery Switch, hereinafter referred to as "power source", is attached. In this known flashlight lamp holder For example, a number of lamps are inserted into the carrier to produce multiple images. When a Lamp has been ignited, the carrier is moved to the next position, so that in a subsequent recording another lamp already in the carrier is used. This type has the Disadvantage that if the lamps previously in the carrier are all used up, the whole mechanism, including the power source, must be taken out of service to put new lamps in the carrier to use. - A flashlight lamp holder is also known which has a single lamp socket and a magazine with such a means of conveyance that a used flashlight lamp of them Transport means removed from the lamp socket and a lamp from the magazine to the lamp socket is promoted there. However, this type of construction is relatively complicated and requires use special flash lamps that differ greatly from conventional lamps.

There are also flashlight devices known, which consist of a fixed, with means for insertion in a light housing provided with the ignition current source and a part rotatable with this There are associated support member for the lamp sockets, which are successively when rotating the support member Connect to the power source. These known devices are only for flashlight lamps furnished with a metal base, which are used in sockets with a bayonet catch. Through this the whole facility becomes very large and unwieldy.

In the meantime, flashlights with glass

has been named as the inventor

sockets have become known, which have lead wires led out laterally. The invention creates a handy flashlight device of the type mentioned above, suitable for these lamps, in that the Support member consists of a plate, which is open on both sides and with contact with the plate penetrating and holding clamps equipped plug-in sockets for receiving flash lamps with laterally led out Power supply wires is provided. This setup is very simple and cheap and easy to use handle. The ignited lamps can be removed from the plate at the touch of a finger.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. This drawing is setting Exemplary embodiment of a flashlight device according to the invention.

Fig. 1 shows a side view of this device; Fig. 2 shows a front view;

Fig. 3 shows on an enlarged scale a longitudinal section through this device.

The device consists essentially of a plate 1 which is rotatable with respect to the means by which it can be attached to a power source, not shown, in a mechanically and electrically easily detachable manner. This power source often consists of the usual flashlight equipment, ie a device that contains a power source, a switch to be coupled to the camera shutter, and a flash lamp socket. In the present case, the means mentioned consist of a protruding part 2 designed as a bayonet lamp base.

Embodiment, while the base 2 remains in the feed The part 3 has six openings 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 5 apparatus, the plate 1 only rotated by an angle of 60 °, which is also made of insulating material to be pressed in to the next lamp sockets 11 to 16. How to bring in particular into the operational situation. This action can be seen from Fig. 2, the inner wall of this is repeated until the last bushing located in the plate is not round. In each socket 11 to 16 borrowed lamp is consumed; Then the two crescent-shaped contacts in FIG. 1 are attached, the unit shown at io as a whole being removed from the supply of the socket 11 with the reference numerals 17 and 18 and from another, previously given. Lamp-fitted unit replaced. Should only be one On the middle extension 4 there is a metal sleeve 20, unit available, so this does not mean that it is designed in the form of a bayonet lamp socket and does not waste a great deal of time. Is provided due to the fact that with bayonet pins 21 and 22, up 15 are pushed to be used in lamps with side contacts and provided by means of a fastening bolt 23, the lamps can be fixed by a simple, whose head 24 with the interposition of a printing movement on its rear side are removed from the Fassun plate 25 made of insulating material on the end face 26 of the gene.
