Electric lamp comprising a lamp base of a synthetic material

Claim 1

An electric lamp assembly comprising: an envelope having a longitudinal axis; at least two current conductors projecting from said envelope parallel to the longitudinal axis of said envelope; and a lamp base of synthetic resin, said base being divided in the longitudinal direction into two approximately identical portions, inner walls of said portions contacting at a single planar surface, said inner walls having longitudinal recesses therein adapted to receive current conductors, said recesses also being spaced apart and completely insulated from each other, said base portions also being secured to each other in an undetachable manner, said current conductors extending over the longitudinal walls outside of said lamp base for a portion of their length and adapted for use as external current contact members, said current conductors further extending along the bottom exterior walls of said base portion, the ends of said current conductors being extended to and disposed within said recesses, whereby the current conductors are clamped in an insulated fashion by said portions of said lamp base.
