Patent number: 9466936Abstract: A bulb socket and a lighting system, which can reduce components and dimensions and improve a force for holding a bulb, are provided. A housing has an insertion hole including an opening for receiving a base portion of a bulb, and a plurality of projection portions projecting from a deep side wall of the insertion hole toward an opening side. The projection portions are opposed to each other so that the base portion is sandwiched therebetween. A distance between the projection portions is formed smaller than a cross-sectional dimension of the base portion. When the base portion is inserted into the insertion hole, the projection portions are elastically deformed away from each other, and contacts slidingly a surface of the base portion. The base portion is sandwiched by a biasing force of the elastically deformed projection portions in a biasing state, and thereby the bulb is held.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventors: Hideki Yamanaka, Atsuro Murata, Ryohei Ochiai
