  • Patent number: 8254146
    Abstract: A capacitor seat and two conductors are utilized to install a capacitor seat on a PCB by soldering the two conductors on electrical contacts of the PCB. The capacitor is installed on the capacitor seat in a fastening way such as by pressing downward, rotating the capacitor or in other feasible fastening ways to be electrically connected with the electrical contacts on the PCB. If the detachable capacitor device has errors or is damaged in use, or a user wants to replace it with a different type of the capacitors to test or adjust the characteristic of the circuit, it is easy to replace the capacitor.

  • Patent number: 7513802
    Abstract: A lamp adapter can adapter a mogul base lamp holder to accept a medium base lamp. The lamp adapter can accommodate only open fixture rated lamps. An open end of the lamp adapter into which a lamp is inserted has an elongated flange which allows only an open fixture rated lamp having a medium base to be completely threaded into the adapter and make electrical contact with a threaded metal sleeve and central button contact of the lamp holder. The geometry of the elongated flange prevents the threading of a closed fixture rated lamp into the adapter by taking advantage of the physical differences between the open and closed fixture rated lamps.

  • Patent number: 6287152
    Abstract: A rotatable socket for a halogen-lamp. The socket includes a porcelain base having two insert grooves at its bottom and an H-shaped upright post standing on the bottom. A plus and minus contact members respectively positioned in two opposite recessed sides of the H-shaped upright post. The top end of the plus contact member rests on a protruding lug on the top center of the H-shaped upright post. The top end of the minus contact member rests on the top of the right side wing of the H-shaped post. A mica plate is fitted on the H-shaped post and a metal threaded sleeve surrounds the H-shaped post and is fixed with it by rivets, permitting the top end of the plus contact member to protrude out in order to function as a plus terminal and an upper rim of the threaded sleeve presses the top section of the minus contact member to function as a minus terminal.
