To all whom, t may concern.'

Be it known that l, Fnsosnro Benn, e citizen oi' the United Stetes, end resident of Een York, inthe .county of Kings and State of Een: York, lieve invented certain new and nseni improvements in Sockets for Lsmps, 5to., ci which the following is o specicetion.

ll-'iy invention relates perticulerly to improveniente in Ineens for fastening the inisolating iinine in the csp end ineens for securing or locliing the oep end body of the slieil together. Sockets of this clierscter ere used perticulerly for inclosing incondescent electric lomp switch besos end else niiet ere i commonly termed rendent switches. in constructions of tliis c erscter in order to cornyly with the underwriters requirements it 1s necessary to provide en insulating lining in the csp in such e inenner es to prevent time circuit vvirine from coming eccidentslly in contect with tile oep. is these sockets ere customerily mede in two ports detechebly secured together it is also necessary to festen the csp lining in Piece so thet it will not fell out in ordmsry hendling.

@ne object is to provide s sim le und inexpensive Ineens o securing the lining of tlie cop in piece. Sometimes these cs. 1ininggs ere mede of very denible motorie such es thin peper which 1t is 'difiicult to hold securely in place und the thin s er is likely to be torn in handling. A tiiicr end rigid lining is preferable es it sli'ords e more pericct means of insulation, for instance, porcelsin or heevy liber.

The special object of my invention is to eiord Ineens of securing such e heevy lining in piece preferably so that it can be rcedily inserted or removed when neccssery.

Another object is to provide ineens for securing the csp sndbody of the shell to- @other to prevent relative rotation or reletive lon xeitudinel separation except when it is desire to lseperete them.

'lhe invention contemplates providing the lining oi the csp witii'tvvoor more clips more or less yieldin Vin nature endedopted to iit into correspon ing holes or recesses in the oep. These clips moy be formed in verione vveys end the csp lining, tlie invention are illustreted inthe eccomsecnred 1n verious vvsys toy some oz the veriousiorms of penying single sheet o drawings. To secure the two erts oi the slrieli together es sleeve indicate the csp` is provided 'with tivo or more interiorly orojecting shoulders end tiic body is provided with corresponding notches for receiving the shoulders in tlie csp to pre vent relative rotetion. The ce? is :riso provided with en interiorly directed Songe et its lower edge to receive the u per edge ot' the body., The body is provi( ed with out Werdly end downwardly projecting eetciies adopted to onstage the interior doings 0:5 t Ac csp. "ilie body 1s slotted st one point end one of tlie catches is located adjacent tliis slot Where the body is erticnlsrly resilient. The other cetclies on tiie body ere errenged op osito this cet/li so es to render tire ettec ent ond detscliment of the ports more convenient.

The external diameter of the ody l corresponds to tlm interior diameter ofthe iienge 6 :ind tlic body is provided with s number ci catches such es 7, 8 end 9 adopted to interlock with the upper surface oi the lsnge 6 for preventing longitudinal separation of the parts. Preferzibly these catches ere formed by cuttine' short slits in the motel and orcinf,7 e Vlimited portion outwerdly es shown so tliut Fig. 2, is s perspective vievv elio ing o;

the catches such es 8 end 9 ere loceted opposite thereto so that the ports cen be more readily cssembledor seperated when desired.

The csp is provided' `with one or more shoulders'sucn ce 11 formed for instence, by indentingg c. portion of the es?. The up er edge of the body of the shel is rov1 ed with a number 'of notches such es 1 to correspond with the number of shoulders 11 in the oep, so that when the ports are interloclsed the shoulder and notch construction 'will prevent relative rotetion of the ports. in the form shown there ere four shoulders in the azi end four notches in the body the opper en ci the slot 10 forming one or the notches. 'Jhis disposition et the shoulders end notches is perticulcrly useful in preserving 'the ports in their ropes reletive olinement end preventing tl e cody ot the from being tilted in the cop. llt will he obvious, however, that .eieeser or lgggreeter nnrnher ci shoulders ond notches 'for prerThe end 18 of the clip is bent outward eround the edge of the lining srticulurl es shown in Fig. 5. The cop 1s provide with e. number of openings or recesses such es 19 adopted to receive the ends 18 of the clips. ln the form shown in Figs. 1 ond 2 these openings 19 nre formed just shove the shoulders 11. The clips formed in this Way ere more or less resilient or yielding so that they can bc readily sprung into place in asf trembling the lining 1n the cop. Similarly the ends o the clips may be pried out of the recesses in the csp if it is necessary to remove the linin from the cop.

ln 'the form s own in Fig. 6 the cop is provided with sx1-interior lgroove 20 eti'ording e recess for receiving the ends ot the clips 18 so that the lining 'con be inserted in enyposition AWithout its being necessory to loont/e the lende ofthe cli s in smell recesses es inthe form shown in ig. 1.
