Abstract
Abstract Arrangement for an attachment for an electrical device, such as a reflector fitted with a bulb, which exhibits in the form of a pin or similar an electrical connection capable of being pushed into an electrical junction. The invention permits, among other things, the simple and effective attachment of an electrical device to an electrical cable. A coupling capable of being joined to an electrical cable, which coupling exhibits appropriate electrical connection devices which fit the electrical connection in question, is so arranged as to function as a stop both for an electrical device and for a holder capable of being joined to the electrical device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
An arrangement for the attachment of an electrical device, comprising: an electrical cable, a reflector, a bulb disposed in said reflector, an electrical connection means for receiving said bulb, an electrical junction for receiving said electrical connection means, a coupling component having an electrical junction attachable to an end of said cable, a plastic hose casing covering a portion of said coupling and a portion of said electrical cable, said casing being shrunk fit around said coupling and said cable, a sleeve disposed around said cable, and a plurality of tensioning elements disposed on said sleeve such that, upon movement of said sleeve along said cable, said tensioning elements grip said reflector and simultaneously force said bulb and said electrical connection means against said coupling component, said coupling component disposed so as to limit the movement of said reflector as said sleeve is moved along said cable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
An arrangement for the attachment of an electrical device, comprising: an electrical cable, a reflector, a bulb disposed in said reflector, an electrical connection means for receiving said bulb, an electrical junction for receiving said electrical connection means, a coupling component having an electrical junction attachable to an end of said cable, a plastic hose casing covering a portion of said coupling and a portion of said electrical cable, said casing being shrunk fit around said coupling and said cable, a sleeve disposed around said cable, and a plurality of tensioning elements disposed on said sleeve such that, upon movement of said sleeve along said cable, said tensioning elements grip said reflector and simultaneously force said bulb and said electrical connection means against said coupling component, said coupling component disposed so as to limit the movement of said reflector as said sleeve is moved along said cable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
172 words
An arrangement for the attachment of an electrical device, comprising: an electrical cable, a reflector, a bulb disposed in said reflector, an electrical connection means for receiving said bulb, an electrical junction for receiving said electrical connection means, a coupling component having a side facing said cable, and an electrical junction attachable to an end of said cable, a sleeve disposed around said cable, said sleeve disposed on the side of said coupling component facing said cable, a plurality of tensioning elements disposed on said sleeve such that, upon movement of said sleeve along said cable, said tensioning elements grip said reflector and simultaneously force said bulb and said electrical connection means against said coupling component, said coupling component disposed so as to limit the movement of said reflector as said sleeve is moved along said cable, and a holder disposed on at least one of said tensioning elements, said holder having a plurality of loops originating from said sleeve and extending out around said reflector, so as to grip said reflector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
172 words
An arrangement for the attachment of an electrical device, comprising: an electrical cable, a reflector, a bulb disposed in said reflector, an electrical connection means for receiving said bulb, an electrical junction for receiving said electrical connection means, a coupling component having a side facing said cable, and an electrical junction attachable to an end of said cable, a sleeve disposed around said cable, said sleeve disposed on the side of said coupling component facing said cable, a plurality of tensioning elements disposed on said sleeve such that, upon movement of said sleeve along said cable, said tensioning elements grip said reflector and simultaneously force said bulb and said electrical connection means against said coupling component, said coupling component disposed so as to limit the movement of said reflector as said sleeve is moved along said cable, and a holder disposed on at least one of said tensioning elements, said holder having a plurality of loops originating from said sleeve and extending out around said reflector, so as to grip said reflector.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
An arrangement according to claim 2, wherein said holder comprises a wire.
