ABSTRACT:
The bulb sockets including a socket main body (10) formed of synthetic resin and having a bulb insertion opening (12) which is opened forwardly and into which a wedge base bulb (50) can be inserted. On the outside surface of the socket main body (10), there are provided securing projections (20) which can be respectively engaged with a socket mounting hole (62) formed in a socket mounting member (60) to thereby restrain the socket main body (10) against removal, and a flange (30) cooperarable with the securing projections (20) in holding the peripheral edge portion of the socket mounting hole (62) between them. Within the bulb insertion opening (12), elastic hooks (13) for holding the outside surface of a flat base (52) of a bulb (50) inserted into the bulb insertion opening (12) to thereby prevent the flat base (52) against removal are arranged in parallel along the forming walls (11a) of the bulb insertion opening (12). Inside the bulb insertion opening forming walls (11a), there are provided vertical ribs (18) between the parallel disposed elastic hooks (13) and (13), thereby preventing the base (52) of the bulb (50) from being pushed into between the mutually adjoining elastic hooks (13) and (13) and the adjacent side wall.
