Abstract:
A fixture for a lamp and to a lighting element are provided that is usable as a reading light, for example in a vehicle or aircraft. The fixture is adapted to be releasably installed in an opening of an accommodating element and includes a cylindrical mounting element having a lateral wall, a front side, and an opposite rear side. The front side has an opening for receiving the lamp. The lateral wall has a radially outwardly projecting rib and a radially outwardly projecting latching element.
Abstract:
A system and an apparatus for connecting a fiber optic or rigid light guide to a light source are provided. The fiber optic or rigid light guide has one end connected to a ferrule with a contact surface. The system includes a connecting element connectable to the light source, into which the ferrule can be inserted. The connecting element has a number of radially movable fastening portions, wherein the fixing portions are radially biased and cooperate with the contact surface, when the ferrule is inserted into the connecting element, whereby a first retention force is applied to the contact surface, and a fixing element is positioned in such a way that it cooperates with the fastening portions so that a second retention force, which is greater than the first retention force, is applied to the contact surface.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to diagnostic, surgical, and/or therapeutic devices for being introduced into the human or animal body or for in vitro examination of human or animal blood samples or other body cells, in particular to an endoscope or a disposable endoscope that includes at least one illumination light guide and/or image guide for transmitting electromagnetic radiation, the illumination light guide or image guide having a proximal end face for incoupling or outcoupling of electromagnetic radiation and a distal end face for incoupling or outcoupling of electromagnetic radiation. The proximal and/or distal end faces consist of plastic elements that are transparent at least partially or in sections thereof, the transparent plastic being biocompatible and/or having non-toxic properties to human or animal cell cultures for exposure durations of less than one day. This allows for the production of assemblies for disposable endoscopes, inter alia.
Abstract:
An illumination system is provided that includes a laser light source, a light guide, a connector, and an emission element. The laser light source has a numerical aperture. The light guide has a proximal end and a distal end. The connector has a connector housing and connects and/or assigns the laser light source at the proximal end. The emission element is at the distal end. The connector housing has a device that reduce an influence of a range of variation of the numerical aperture so that an emission behaviour of the emission element is independent of a range of variation of the numerical aperture.

Abstract:
A connecting element for connecting a fiber-optic light guide to a light source one time and detaching the fiber-optic light guide from a light source one time is provided. The connecting element includes a housing having a wall, where the housing encloses a cavity, a fiber-optic light guide that passes through the housing and the cavity, a connecting piece corresponding to a connecting section of the light source for establishing the connection to the light source, where the connecting section can be reused after the detachment, and prevention device configured to prevent repeated use of the connecting element and/or the light guide.
Abstract:
A termination for a light guide is provided that, on the one hand, allows connection of the light guide to a light source in a simple and reliable manner and, on the other hand, blocks light components that are not guided in the light guide. For this purpose, a ferrule is provided for terminating a light guide. The ferrule includes a transparent plastic part and an opaque light-blocking plastic part that are connected to each other to define a channel. The transparent plastic part has a light entry end that receives an end of the light guide. The channel has at least a portion that extends within the transparent plastic part and at least a portion that extends within the opaque plastic part. The has a collar surrounding the channel and has an outer diameter that is greater than a maximum outer diameter of the transparent plastic part.
