  • Patent number: 4070567
    Abstract: A marker lamp comprising a base, a complementary resilient support member and a retainer engaging the support member and maintaining it in position on the base. A bulb socket assembly includes an upper member engaging opposed resilient columns integral with the support member and the lower member having an integral bulb-base contact element engaging a central column integral with the support member. The opposed resilient columns have recesses which engage outwardly extending elements integral with the upper bulb socket assembly member in a manner permitting freedom of movement, thus limiting shock transmission from the vehicle to the bulb filament.

  • Patent number: 3980878
    Abstract: A vehicle signal lamp comprising a housing of generally cup-shaped configuration having an open end which is closed by a suitable lens member. The housing has two integral pads upon which a resilient member is mounted. The resilient member has two resilient ears which engage recesses in the pads on the housing and an integral tubular member between the ears. A socket member is telescoped within the tubular member and is adapted to receive a contact member, a compression member, a bulb and the required electrical leads. The resilient member is constructed to enhance the dampening of vibrations and mild shocks, while offering sufficient physical resistance to severe shocks which are less frequently encountered.
