ABSTRACT:
The push-in/push-out lampholder has a guide track for an unlocking member which is permanently coupled to a fixation member. The guide track may be heart-shaped and be partly traversed by the unlocking member when a lamp cap is pressed into the lampholder. The lamp cap must be released if it is to reach an operational position under the influence of a spring. The fixation member permanently coupled to the unlocking member is then in engagement with a profile of the lamp cap and retains the lamp, pressed against contact members. It is not until a second, separate push is given that the unlocking member continues its path through the guide track. In a special embodiment, the fixation member and the unlocking member are combined into an integrated member, which may be a ball which is enclosed in inwardly narrowing bores of a cylindrical ball holder and in the guide track. The lampholder can be slim and can be manufactured mainly from metal or from synthetic resin.
