Electron tube socket securing means

摘要

Means is provided for expeditiously securing a socket to the finned base of an electron tube. Upon seating the base in the socket, a discretely formed locking pin is positioned within a slanted bore traversing the end portion of a fin, whereby the terminal end of the pin abuts the surface of the socket thus effecting securement of the socket-to-base combination. The invention is particularly useful in electronic equipment wherein cathode ray tubes are employed.
