ABSTRACT:
An electric contact holder base for electric lighters or other gadgets for motor vehicles is provided with a thermic protection against overheating that allows its reutilization. The base has a substantially cylindrical body, permanently fixed in the passenger's cabin and carries electric contacts for the gadget that is inserted in said cylindrical body. At least a bimetallic spring acts as a holding element of the lighter in the cylindrical body during the resting phase of the same. A bimetallic lamina is the thermic protection device against overheating; this is a separated element, connected at one end with an electric contact, while the other end is facing the wall of the cylindrical body and folded back towards its bottom.
