Abstract
A shock resistant lamp support comprising a plastic lamp receiving socket having interengaging means thereon for receiving and holding a bulb in position, integral flexible portion extending from said socket portion, and having a sufficiently thin cross section to provide relative resiliency with respect to the socket, and an integral base portion having a relatively rigid cross section connected to said flexible portion.
Claims17
In a shock resistant lamp support, the combination comprising
- two plastic parts,
- each of said parts comprising an upper semi-cylindrical socket forming portion,
- an intermediate integral flexible portion extending from said socket forming portion,
- said flexible portion having at least a part thereof of thin cross section to provide an area of flexibility,
- and an integral lower thickened base portion,
- integral hinge means between said two parts whereby said parts can be brought into abutting relation to define a cylindrical socket,
- said intermediate flexible portion extending between said socket forming portion and said base portion,
- a transverse wall in each said socket forming portion separating said socket forming portion from said intermediate portion.
