  • Patent number: 7163404
    Abstract: In a device for placing a lamp in a reflector, a socket for holding a lamp is provided with a main body part to be brought into contact with the a reflector. The lamp is held with a resilient annular spring secured to the main body part, and with two upright arms provided with clicks, while a back plate is provided with pressure points. When securing the back plate to the reflector, the reference plane is brought into contact with the reflector, and the pressure points, when in contact with the clicks of the socket, displace the clicks in the direction of the reflector over a distance ?x so as to put the annular spring under tension. The distance ?x is such that the annular spring presses the reference plane towards the reflector with a force of at least 5N.
