For convenience of illustration, we have' shown a self centering spring wire 5 supported in the depending peripheral shirt t; of the holder.

To secure the holder to its support. for example to an electric lamp socket. we provide a split clamping ring T. arranged centrally within the holder. ln t'be holder illustrated this ring is formed iinlependently ot the body of the holder and mounted thereon by .means of supporting lugs S, t) and 1t) spaced around the upper edge of the ring, the lug 8 lying substantially opposite the space l etween the free ends of the ring. rivet ll secures the lug S beneath the substantially horizontal upper face of the holder. while the lugs 9 and 10 are tangent'ialtv slotted at 12 and 13 so that they have limited freedom of angular movementwith relation to their supporting rivets LI and l5. l3 reason of this limited freedom of movement the ring 7 may be expanded or contracted by means of the clamping bolt It and may thus be opened and passed over the usual supporting bead 17 ad acenti the lam receivm end ot I the lamp socket to, and then contracted so Specification of Letters Patent.
