Abstract: This invention relates to a unitary liner locking and locking washer device that is positioned between the wall mounting fixture and the vertical bracket support for an incandescent lamp. The unitary device includes a ring element having one end having a resilient upwardly disposed finger that is pressed into a biased position between the threaded portions of the fixture and the bracket. The other end of the ring element has a resilient prong having a hooked tip also upwardly disposed. The prong is unbiased with the tip engaged in a slot in the liner to lock the liner in position and can be biased inwardly to free the liner.

Abstract: A wire connector. A body member has a lower hollow internally threaded portion and an upper portion with a slot in the lower portion. A pair of spaced electrodes are mounted in the upper portion, the lower ends of said electrodes being pointed and extending into the area of the slot. A ring member has a central portion bridging the ring, and the ring member is slidably mounted on the lower portion of the body member. An externally threaded member is threadedly connected to the internally threaded hollow portion of said body member. Whereby an insulated two conductor cable may be inserted through said slot between the lower ends of the electrodes and the ring member and the externally threaded member may be screwed into the body member to force the electrode points through the insulation of the cable and causing each electrode point into contact with one of the conductors of said cable.
