  • Snap-in assembly and contact terminal for wedge base lamps
    Patent number: 3936131
    Abstract: A snap-in socket for wedge base lamps that avoids the requirement of a quarter turn twist for locking the socket in the panel. Contact members are adaptable to be inserted from either end of the socket. One modification of the contact member utilizes a snap-on hood for providing one electrical return path through a chassis thereby requiring only a single wire to the socket. The contact members further feature wire guide means thereon which function to straighten any bent filament wires on the lamp bulb when the bulb is inserted into the socket assembly.
