Abstract

IMPROVED LIGHT BULB SOCKET

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present invention relates to the improvement of the structure of the light bulb socket, a terminal which interlinks with the socket and the pipe connection in the penetrating plug, a socket without prior art lampshade, a new, small-sized and low-cost product which is easy to assemble and dismantle.

The terminal and lighting connection can be interlocked into each other by sticking the leaf spring into the fastening opening of the lighing connection. The light bulb socket and terminal can be interlocked into each other by sticking the receptacle into the locating chute whose inside-bending arc leaf spring would fix the receptacle as well as the light bulb socket.

2 Q ~ ~ ~ 6 1 IMPROVED LIGHT BULB SOCKET
_______ ___________ __ :
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
___________________________ The present invention relates to an improvement of the structure of light bulb socket comprising a pipe connection,a terminal, a socket and a lls~hting connection.
Referring to Fig. 1, therein illustrated is the prior art structure of the light bulb socket having a lampshade around the socket and the lighting connection thereof, which is large-sized, high cost, and difficult for assembling and replacing the electric bulb. The present invention eliminates the aforesaid disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF TH~ INVENTION
________________________ The present invention relates to an improved light bul~ socket comprising a pipe connection, a terminal, a socket and a lighting connection.
A penetrating plug is centered on the lighting connection. Fastening openings are located at ~he top and the bottom of the connection. The fastening openings interlink the penetrating plug so as to interlocate the terminal of the pipe connection at the penetrating plug. After the pluging, the slanting leaf springs of the terminal will hook the lighting connection at the fastening openings. The other end of the terminal and the penetrating plug will be locked into each other 2S~.36:~

by the arc leaf spring o~ the terminal. The present inventlon provides an improved light bulb socket which is easy to assemble and dismantle, small-sizsd and cost effective.

DETAILED DFSCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
_________________________________________________ Some reference numbers will be given to those parts 20or portions for identiication. The improved socket comprises pipe connection 1, terminal 2, lighting connection 3 and socket 4. The pipe connection 1 has one '~0!~6 l : :

end connected with terminal 2. The slanting leaf spring is installed at the top of the ter~inal 2 whos~ front end is the locating chute 22. The arc leaf spring 2~, which bends toward inside, is installed at l:he top of the locating chute 22. The penetrating plug 31 is centered on the lighting connection 3. There are fastening openings 32 at the top and bottom of the lighting connection 3. The fastening openings 32 interlink with the penetrating plug 31. There receptacle 41 is installed in one end of the light bulb socket.

The terminal 2 and the lighting connection 3 can be interlocked into each other by interlocating the leaf spring in the fastening opening 32 of the lighing connection 3. The light bulb socket 4 and the terminal 2 can be interlocked into each other by sticking the receptacle 41 into the locating chute whose inside-bending arc leaf spring would fix the receptacle 41 as well as the light bulb socket 4.

The height of both side~ of the penetrating plug is different so as to adapt to the shape of the terminal and connect with the light bulb socket.

To dismantle the parts of light bulb socket, iust pull out the light bulb socket 4 and press the leaf spring 21 2 ~

of the terminal 2 by a stick 5 through th~ fastening opening 32 of the lighting connection 3 so as to pull out the terminal 2. The whole process ls very easy to perform.
