SINGLE LATCH SNAP-LOCK BASE FOR ANNULAR FLUORESCENT LAMPS

摘要

A plastic base for annular fluorescent lamps is disclosed comprising two semicylindrical parts. A first part comprises a dowel and a latch pin extending from the interior thereof; and the second part comprising recesses for receiving the dowel and latch pin for securing the two parts in a fixed relationship. Additional means are provided for reducing the possibility of short circuits across the electrical leads. Also, the parts are shaped to require a minimum of undercuts, thereby simplifying the fabrication thereof.
