ABSTRACT:
A pair of standoff posts and an endless coil spring form a simple mounting construct for positioning a bulb and reflector assembly in a lamp fixture. The reflector is positioned within the loop of the coil spring and the height of the standoff posts is chosen to locate the spring about the midpoint of the depth of the reflector so that the spring imparts both a centering action on the reflector and a clamping action of the reflector against the lamp fixture. The standoff posts are positioned at opposite ends of an extended diameter of the reflector and with the loop spring form a self-centering and locating mounting for the bulb and reflector assembly on the lamp fixture.
