  • Patent number: 5103695
    Abstract: An assembly of tools for the removal, handling, and replacement of light bulbs and light bulb bases from their mounting sockets. The assembly is made up of three components which each have two ends that function to either surround and grip a light bulb and insert or remove it from its socket, or to contact and grip a broken base of a light bulb so as to remove it from its socket. The three components of the assembly are configured so as to nest one within another and to be retained therein in a compact assemblage. The components are made of a durable elastic material that may deform to grip a bulb or a bulb base, and subsequently return to their original shape.
