  • Patent number: 4342074
    Abstract: A lamp housing for a lamp assembly, such as, for example, an indicator type, has a main body portion detachably connectable to an associated support, as, for example, an instrument panel of a related vehicle, with such body portion enabling the easy connection thereto of an associated bulb socket structure; a pair of resiliently deflectable arm-like members carried by the body portion cooperate with a flange portion of the housing to contain the associated support therebetween.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 1978
    Date of Patent: July 27, 1982
    Assignee: Nartron Corporation

  • Patent number: 4081634
    Abstract: A manually actuatable electrical switch assembly, employable as, for example, a turn signal and emergency warning switch assembly for automobiles, trucks or the like, has a main body or housing carrying electrically openable circuit means the opening of which is controlled by manually rotatable handle means selectively manually positionable to any of a plurality of selected positions to thereby open and close related electrical circuit means leading to associated sensory warning means; motion transmitting lever means, carried by an adapter body which is operatively secured as between the main body or housing and a cooperating vehicular steering column housing, is effective to cooperate with first abutment means, moved in response to turning of the associated vehicular steering wheel, to transmit a force to second abutment means, operatively carried by the handle means, in order to thereby be effective to at least at times move said handle means from a previously selected position to a position which might be
