Abstract: This invention provides a novel device for shock mounting a lamp within housing means for a lamp that is particularly intended for use with motorized vehicles, such as farm tractors and other vehicles designed for cross-country travel, as well as over-the-road trucks and the like. Basically, the novel device of the present invention comprises a hollow generally frustoconical resilient member having a long-central axis extending between centers of its opposite ends, with one of the opposite ends of that member including means for retaining, supporting and locating a lamp in a predetermined position, and the other of the opposite ends of that member including means for fastening that member to the lamp housing means, and that member including plural segments positioned around the long-central axis and extending between the opposite ends of that member, with each of the plural segments being generally serpentine in its longitudinal extension with respect to that axis.

Abstract: This invention provides a novel bracket for shock mounting a bulb within a housing for a lamp that is particularly intended for use with motorized vehicles, such as over-the-road trucks and the like. Basically, the novel bracket of the present invention comprises: a serpentine strip having polygonal apertures provided at its opposite ends and a bulb-receiving socket generally centrally located therein, the radial center of which socket is offset from the long central axis that extends between the apertures in the strip. Preferably, the strip is connected to the lamp housing by fastener means, portions of which are respectively passed through the polygonal apertures in the strip and prohibit pivotal movement of the apertures thereabout. It is also desirable that the fastener means portions comprise a pair of studs projecting from the lamp housing and being complementary in size and shape to the polygonal apertures in the strip through which they are respectively passed.
