ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a novel bracket for shock mounting a bulb within a housing for a lamp that is particularly intended for use with motorized vehicles, such as over-the-road trucks and the like. Basically, the novel bracket of the present invention comprises: a serpentine strip having polygonal apertures provided at its opposite ends and a bulb-receiving socket generally centrally located therein, the radial center of which socket is offset from the long central axis that extends between the apertures in the strip. Preferably, the strip is connected to the lamp housing by fastener means, portions of which are respectively passed through the polygonal apertures in the strip and prohibit pivotal movement of the apertures thereabout. It is also desirable that the fastener means portions comprise a pair of studs projecting from the lamp housing and being complementary in size and shape to the polygonal apertures in the strip through which they are respectively passed. And, those apertures are preferably square in shape. It is further desirable that the strip be constructed of glass fiber-reinforced nylon or some other similarly suitable material permitting deflection of the strip along, around and across the long central axis thereof which extends between the polygonal apertures in the opposite ends thereof.
