Abstract
A marker lamp comprising a base, a complementary resilient support member and a retainer engaging the support member and maintaining it in position on the base. A bulb socket assembly includes an upper member engaging opposed resilient columns integral with the support member and the lower member having an integral bulb-base contact element engaging a central column integral with the support member. The opposed resilient columns have recesses which engage outwardly extending elements integral with the upper bulb socket assembly member in a manner permitting freedom of movement, thus limiting shock transmission from the vehicle to the bulb filament.
Claims17
A marker lamp comprising
- a base,
- a resilient support having a surface complementary to the base,
- a retainer engaging and maintaining said support in position,
- a bulb-engaging socket assembly having outwardly extending projections,
- said resilient support having upstanding columnar portions with slots therein into which said projections of said bulb-engaging socket assembly extend to support said assembly on said resilient support.
In a marker lamp, the combination comprising
- a base,
- a resilient support having a surface complementary to said base,
- a retainer engaging said support and holding said resilient support in position on said base,
- a contact assembly comprising an insulator,
- a contact member,
- an intermediate member,
- an upper socket member,
- said insulator supporting said contact member,
- said insulator having an elongated opening with arcuate edges along a portion thereof,
- said intermediate member being mounted on said insulator and having an opening with radially inwardly extending arcuate portions for receiving a bulb,
- said upper socket member having axially extending cylindrical portions for guiding a bulb,
- said resilient support having outwardly extending portions extending therefrom,
- said upper socket member having laterally extending projections engaging said outwardly extending portions to support said contact assembly.
In a marker lamp, the combination comprising
- a base,
- a resilient support having a central portion including a surface complementary to said base,
- a contact assembly comprising a retainer engaging said support and holding said base in position on said base,
- an insulator on said retainer,
- a contact member,
- an intermediate member,
- an upper socket member,
- said insulator supporting said contact member,
- said insulator having an elongated opening with arcuate edges along a portion thereof,
- said intermediate member being mounted on said insulator and having an opening with radially inwardly extending arcuate portions for receiving a bulb,
- said upper socket member having axially extending cylindrical portions for guiding a bulb,
- said resilient support having outwardly extending portions extending from the central portion thereof,
- said upper socket member having laterally extending projections engaging said outwardly extending portions to support said contact assembly.
