Abstract: A vehicular lamp which includes a lamp body and a wedge-base bulb which connects to a lead wire, in which a base member of the wedge-base bulb is held by contact holding pieces of a contact terminal which is securely held by the lamp body and penetrates the lamp body in the front-rear direction thereof, so that the wedge-base bulb is mounted on a front surface of the lamp body, and the lamp is characterized in that the contact terminal is of a box-type and formed integrally with the lamp body.

Abstract: An L-shaped bulb socket comprising an L-shaped socket consisting of a bulb receiving portion and a connector receiving portion and a pair of L-shaped terminal members which are inserted into the socket body through the terminal inserting holes formed in the bulb receiving section and the connector receiving portion of the socket body.

Abstract: A waterproof socket construction suitable for use in connecting an electric bulb to a lamp body therethrough on a motor vehicle. Included is a socket body having defined therethrough an axial hollow comprising a larger diameter portion extending rearwardly from the front end of the socket body and a smaller diameter portion adjacent the rear end of the socket body. A tubular, metal made ferrule is received in the larger diameter portion of the hollow and is locked against displacement relative to the socket body. An insulating plate having a foot contact thereon is mounted within the ferrule for axial sliding motion within limits. A cylindrical packing of elastic material is closely engaged in the smaller diameter portion of the hollow in the socket body for watertightly closing its rear end. The packing has a flange on its front end thereof held against the annular shoulder between the larger and smaller diameter portions of the socket body hollow.
