First Claim
Patent Images
1. A motor vehicle interior lamp comprising:
- a lamp housing;
a reflector disposed within the lamp housing;
an injection molded conductor molding disposed in the lamp housing and having a pair of clamp brackets separated by a distance suitable for engaging contact ends of a glow lamp; and
two conductive metallized areas electrically isolated from each other with each of the conductive metallized areas disposed over one of the clamp brackets, wherein the conductive metallized areas define the reflector.

Abstract
A motor vehicle lamp employs conductor moldings in which conductor tracks extending in three dimensions can be created in the housing. In addition, the conductor moldings enable the integration of lamp connections, switches and lamp mount, as well as reflectors and cooling surfaces directly into the housing and separately inlaid or molded-in plates for contact tracks.

9. A motor vehicle interior lamp comprising:
-
a lamp housing; a conductor molding disposed within the lamp housing having a pair of opposing elastic metallized brackets projecting from the molding and electrically isolated from each other; and a glow lamp having contacts engaged by the brackets wherein a configuration of the metallized brackets is consistent with the use of a semiadditive method for metalizing the brackets;
wherein the conductor molding forms a reflector for the glow lamp.
