Abstract
Abstract The electric lamp in accordance with the invention has a bayonet lamp cap (3) which is coupled to the neck-shaped portion (2) of the lamp envelope (1) by means of projections (7) and guides (8) co-operating therewith. The coupling is locked against displacement by means of a solidified mass (10). The co-operation between the cams (7) and the guides (8) is obtained by a rotation of the lamp cap (3) with respect to the lamp envelope (1) in counterclockwise direction until the cap abuts the envelope, the abutting stopping further rotation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
An electric lamp comprising a blown glass lamp envelope having a neck-shaped portion, a bayonet lamp cap, and current-supply conductors extending from contacts on the lamp cap through the wall of the lamp envelope to an electric element arranged inside the lamp envelope; which lamp cap surrounds at least part of the neck-shaped portion and is coupled to the envelope, by means of circumferentially distributed projections and respective guides cooperating therewith, such that an edge of the lamp cap abuts the envelope, the coupling being locked against displacement by means of a solidified mass, characterized in that the guides are so arranged that the coupling is established by relative rotation in the counter-clockwise direction between the lamp cap and the lamp envelope, the abutting of the cap against the envelope stopping further rotation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
