ABSTRACT:
An electric lamp according to the invention comprises a lamp vessel (10) which is closed in a gastight manner, which has an end portion (11), and which surrounds a light source (12). The lamp vessel supports a cylindrical collar (30) with an axis (31) at its end portion (11). One or several projections (33a, 33b, 33c) of a first coupling member (30) which each grip into a respective recess (41a, 41c) of a second coupling member (40) couple the collar (30) to a mounting member (40) for fastening the lamp to a carrier. At least one of the coupling members (30) is made of an elastic material. The second coupling member (40) has two or more axial zones (43, 43') each with at least one recess (41a, 41b, 41c; 41a', 41b, 41c') and a raised step (42a, 42b, 42c; 42a', 42b', 42c') which bounds the recess in tangential direction, while a raised step (42a, 42b, 42c) of an axial zone (43) also forms part of an axial boundary of a recess (41a', 41c') of an adjoining axial zone (43') each time, and the raised steps and the one or several projections (33a, 33b, 33c) have mutually self-locating shapes in at least one tangential direction. The construction of the lamp according to the invention renders it possible to remove the lamp vessel from the mounting member without the use of a tool, but counteracts an inadvertent removal.
