SOCKET AND REFLECTOR CONSTRUCTION.
Application filed June 29, 1925.
My invention relates-to a socket and reflector construction and more particularly to a weatherproof socket and reflector construction suitable for outdoor use.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide such a construction which can be made cheaply and can be readily wired and which will be durable and efficient.
Further objects will appear from the description and claim.
In the drawings, in which my invention is illustrated Figure 1 is a side view showing the socket and reflector supported on a horizontally extending pipe;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the socket and reflector;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig.
- 2; and 1 Fig. 4 is a plan view of the socket in terior.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the construction shown comprises a lamp socket interior 1, a casing 52 having an opening in its top through which a socket interior may be inserted, a cap 3 for said casing, a reflector at secured to the lower edge of the casing 2, the nipple 5 secured to the side of the casing, and a pipe 6 for the wiring, screwed into the nipple 5.
The socket interior construction comprises aninsulating base 7 shell and center contacts 8 and 9 respectively mounted thereon, and wiring terminals 10 and 11 on the upper side of the insulating base for the shell and center contacts respectively. The insulating base is'provide'd with an outwlrdly extending arcuate flange 12 at its upper end which rests on an inwardly extending annular flange 13 on the casing. The insulating base is further provided with a positioning lug 14 which fits in a positioning notch 15 in the casing flange. The upper end of the casing is screw-threaded at 16 to receive the screwthreaded portion 17 of the cap 3. The nip- Serial No. 10,249.
In wiring, the cap 3 is removed from the casing 2, the insulating base 7 is slipped upwardly out of the casing, the wires are drawn in through the nipple, and secured to the wiring terminals 10 and 11, and the base 7 is then slipped back into the casing and the cap I- screwed on. The cap fits snugly against the upper edge of the insulating base and assists in holding it in position.
lVhile I have shown but one form of my invention, it is to be understood that I do. not desire to limit myself to this particular construction since many changes and modifications may be made therein without departure from the scope of the following claim. a
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent of the U. S. is: I
Asocket and reflector construction comprising an insulating base, wiring terminals and lamp receptacle contacts mounted therein, a casing for said base, a reflector secured to the lower end of said casing, said casing having a screw threaded portion and an open top through which said base may be inserted into said casing, said casing having an inwardly extending flange above said screw threaded portion. and said base hav" ing an outwardly extending flange above and resting on said first flange,a cap screwed on to said casing above and covering said base and serving to force the flange 011 the base against the flange on the casing and a nipple secured to the side of said casing having a passage for the wires leading to said wiring terminals, said terminals being located on the upper side of said base and exposed when said cap is removed.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
