Abstract: A mounting device for a fluorescent lamp includes a socket which is swingably supported in a socket holder for being movable between an inclined position and an operational position and is provided with a socket body and a locking member extending in axial direction rearwardly away from the connection of the lamp to the socket body. The socket holder has an opening through which the socket body projects with its locking member in order to encompass the respective inner surface of the opening in a pinless hinge-like member. For limiting the swiveling movement of the socket, the socket body is provided with a stop member which cooperates with the innerside of the holder.

Abstract: The electrical connector block comprises an insulating body and a plurality of conductor terminals mounted in it of which at least one is a protective conductor terminal. It is provided with an additional contacting member which passes through the base of the insulating body facing a connector block support and has at least one exterior plug which can directly make contact in a socket in the connector block support. The protective conductor plug can be mounted in the connector block during manufacture of the connector block or also subsequently to making the connector block without having to dismantle it. The structure and positioning of the protective conductor plug or plugs allows an easy automatic connection to the protective conductor by plugging the conector block into the connector block support.
