ABSTRACT:
A socket shell for a lamp socket includes a substantially cylindrical socket sleeve formed to cooperate with a socket cap of substantially dome-shaped configuration and having a circumferential lip that seats up against an upper edge of said socket sleeve. Lugs are formed on the outer circumference of said socket sleeve proximate a first end thereof to pass through slots formed in the inner wall of said circumferential lip and to cooperate with said lip to obtain a releasable securing means. A thrust washer is deployed against a shoulder proximate said circumferential lip to apply pressure to said first end of said socket sleeve when attached to said socket cap so as to solidly lock said sleeve and cap in an assembled condition. The cap and sleeve are each formed of brass with a wall thickness of approximately 5/64ths of an inch to thus provide a heavy-duty lamp socket shell and lamp socket. The socket sleeve and cap are of a size and configuration to house an electrical unit which receives an incandescent light bulb and which includes electrical switch means to make and break an electrical circuit from the bulb to a source of power. The socket cap includes an opening to facilitate passage of an electrical conductor wire therethrough as well as connection thereto of a connector to facilitate connection of the socket to a lamp.
