  • Patent number: 8944840
    Abstract: An improved lamp connector comprises a base, a first cooperating member, a retainer, and a second cooperating member having a bulbous female connector being larger in size than an aperture formed by the a ridge on the retainer. The first and second cooperating members are operatively connected via male and female connectors to energize a UV lamp connected to the distal portion of the first cooperating member. The UV lamp cannot be removed from its housing while energized because the second cooperating member must be detached from the first cooperating member in order for the retainer to be removed. The retainer must be removed in order to remove the first cooperating member to gain access to the UV lamp.

  • Patent number: 8876359
    Abstract: An electrically isolating lamp assembly comprises a clamp ring, a lamp end, and a socket, wherein the lamp end is positioned within the clamp ring and the lamp end can be rotated, relative to the clamp ring, between locked and unlocked positions. In the unlocked position, lamp end shoulders are radially non-aligned with clamp ring flanges, and a locking peg is restrained, by the clamp ring flange, from being inserted completely within a locking peg channel in the lamp end, whereby the socket is restrained from fully engaging the lamp end; in the locked position, the lamp end shoulders are radially aligned with the clamp ring flanges, and the locking peg is inserted completely within the locking peg channel, whereby the socket can fully engage the lamp end, and wherein the lamp end is restrained by the locking peg from being rotated to the unlocked position.
