Abstract
A bulb holder which comprises a bulb socket and a housing, a ring member formed of a resilient material, the ring member having first and second ends biased away from each other to a position where the first and second ends are spaced apart, the ends being movable towards each other to thereby diminish the size of the ring, and first and second arms interconnecting the ring member and the socket housing. The bulb holder permits circulation of air throughout a transparent tube in which the bulb is mounted.
Description
LIGHT HOLDER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a light holder and more particularly, relates to a light holder suitable for use in a horticultural apparatus.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The use of hydroponics for the growth of plants is well known in the art and many different types of systems have been proposed. Generally, with hydroponics, a non-soil medium is utilized and the plant gathers the required nutrients from a liquid to which the roots are exposed. The original arrangement was adapted from conventional growing systems wherein the plants grew from containers lying in a horizontal plane.
Lights were generally suspended above the plants and containers. While this system functions well, a substantial amount of energy is required for the lighting and accordingly, the economic return can only be justified with relatively high value plants.
More recently, systems have been developed which utilize a drum carrying a non-soil medium in which the plants grow with the drum rotating about a light source thereby maintaining a substantially constant distance between the plants and light.
Since the light is effective through the full 3600 of rotation, less total wattage is required for a given number of plants. In such an arrangement, liquid is generally provided at a trough located at the bottom of the drum into which the plants or at least their root systems are immersed to thereby provide the required moisture and nutrients.
One problem which has been encountered in prior art rotating drum systems is the maintenance of correct light intensity. The light intensity is exponentially related to the distance between the plant and the light. As there must be sufficient room for the plants to grow, the light source must be a certain distance away from the plants. While this distance may be suitable when the plants are substantially fully grown, the light intensity may be insufficient for the plants when they are young.
In order to overcome the above, it would be desirable to provide for an arrangement wherein the lamps can be easily interchanged.
A further problem which arises is the heat developed by the lights. Since the bulb is typically incased in a tube, the heat build up is substantial and any mounting arrangement should provide for maximum ventilation through the tube.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a bulb holder suitable for use in rotary plant growing systems wherein the bulb may be easily replaced.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide for a bulb holder for use in a rotary plant growing system wherein maximum ventilation is supplied to the bulb.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bulb holder comprising, a bulb socket, a bulb socket housing, a ring member formed of a resilient material, the ring member having first and second ends, the first and second ends being biased away from each other to a position where the first and second ends are spaced apart, the first and second ends being movable towards each other to thereby diminish the size of the ring, and first and second arms interconnecting the ring member and the socket housing, the first and second arms being angled at an acute angle with respect to both the housing and the ring member.

- 3 -The bulb holder of the present invention, as aforementioned, includes a circular ring of a resilient material such that the size of the ring can be varied. When exterior of the transparent tube, the ring will be larger thereon such that when it is compressed and inserted into the tube, the ring will exert an outward biasing force on the transparent tube such that the bulb and bulb holder are retained in position.
The bulb holder of the present invention may be made of any suitable material which has the desired resilient features and which is inert to the heat and humidity generated within such an apparatus. Thus, one could use specially reinforced plastics or suitable metallic material. Generally, it is preferred that an aluminum or a stainless steel be utilized.
The ring is preferably provided with gripping portions such that the size of the same can be varied. A convenient arrangement is for tab members to extend inwardly proximate the first and second ends of the ring members such that the fingers of the operator can grip the same and insert the bulb holder and bulb into the transparent tube at the desired position.
