Socket for baseless incandescent lamp

摘要

A socket for holding a baseless incandescent lamp to be in electrical contact with terminals of said incandescent lamp, includes a socket body having a receiving cavity with a rectangular section into which a squeezed portion of said baseless incandescent lamp is to be fitted, a pair of terminal members attached to said socket body and to be brought in electrical contact with the terminals of said incandescent lamp when the squeezed portion of said incandescent lamp is fitted in said receiving cavity, and two pairs of ribs formed as a unit with said socket body and protruding from a facing pair of inner side faces of the receiving cavity of said socket body so that the projected ends of said ribs may elastically engage said squeezed portion in the vicinity of an exhaust tube of the lamp, the projected ends of two among said ribs squeezing themselves between said exhaust tube and the terminals of said incandescent lamp, thereby preventing said terminals from moving toward said exhaust tube.
