Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A socket assembly comprising: an electrical-conducting tubular housing including means adjacent one end for mounting in a panel opening and having a socket-receiving opening adjacent the other end thereof; a socket within said housing and having an electrical conducting sleeve with a lamp-receiving zone adjacent one end thereof for receiving and retaining a lamp therein, and with a section adjacent the other end thereof positioned in said housing opening and fixed to said housing at said housing opening, an electrical insulator fixed in said sleeve adjacent said other end thereof, and a rigid electrical conducting pin fixedly mounted in said insulator coaxial with said sleeve and exposed at both ends; a first panel with an electrical-conducting surface and having an opening therethrough; means for mounting said housing in said first panel opening in electrical contact with said conducting surface; and a second light-conducting panel overlying said first panel and having a lamp-receiving opening extending only part way through said second panel and aligned with said first panel opening providing an enclosed lamp space within said second panel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
A socket assembly comprising: an electrical-conducting tubular housing including means adjacent one end for mounting in a panel opening and having a socket-receiving opening adjacent the other end thereof; a socket within said housing and having an electrical conducting sleeve with a lamp-receiving zone adjacent one end thereof for receiving and retaining a lamp therein, and with a section adjacent the other end thereof positioned in said housing opening and fixed to said housing at said housing opening, an electrical insulator fixed in said sleeve adjacent said other end thereof, and a rigid electrical conducting pin fixedly mounted in said insulator coaxial with said sleeve and exposed at both ends; a first panel with an electrical-conducting surface and having an opening therethrough; means for mounting said housing in said first panel opening in electrical contact with said conducting surface; and a second light-conducting panel overlying said first panel and having a lamp-receiving opening extending only part way through said second panel and aligned with said first panel opening providing an enclosed lamp space within said second panel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
