ABSTRACT:
A bulb socket structure includes a socket housing to receive therein a bulb, first and second electrically-conductive members which are located within a channel formed on the socket housing to have sharpened tips thereof piercing into and forming electrical connections to a power cord extending through the channel, the first member having a U-shaped portion received within a first hole formed on the socket to be substantially centrally-located within the socket housing and the second member having an inner end inserted into a second, eccentric hole of the socket housing to partially extend into the socket housing, a support member formed inside the socket housing to hold the second member for preventing the second member from being deformed by the insertion of the bulb to short-circuit with the hot plate, and an end cap or cover releasably mounted to the socket housing to cover and confine the first and second electrically-conductive members and the power cord between the socket housing and the cover so that the power cord is located between the first member and the cover and the resiliency of the insulation sheath of the power cord makes the physical contact of the first and second electrically-conductive members with the bulb base more effective and secure.
