  • Patent number: 4932901
    Abstract: A single filament type wedge-base lamp has projections on opposite sides at opposite end portions of a flat base of the lamp, and the corresponding socket has a recess with clearance grooves corresponding in position to the projections. The socket for a double filament type wedge-base lamp has a recess without clearance grooves so that the single filament type wedge-base lamp, which has the projections thereon, is prevented from erroneously being inserted into the double-filament type lamp socket since the projections will interfere with the recess walls of the double-filament type lamp socket. If a double filament type lamp is inserted into the socket for a single filament type lamp, either one of the two filaments thereof will operate without posing a problem.

  • Patent number: 4883434
    Abstract: A wedge-base lamp and socket assembly includes a wedge-base lamp having a pair of projections formed on opposite sides near the center of a base of the wedge-base lamp; and a socket having a pair of resilient arms which come in engagement with the pair of projections when the wedge-base lamp is mounted within the socket. A single filament type wedge-base lamp has fool-proof projections formed on opposite sides at opposite end portions of the base, and a double filament type wedge base socket has abutment portions which come in engagement with the fool-proof projections when the single filament type wedge-base lamp is inserted into the double filament type socket to thereby prevent erroneous coupling therebetween.
