ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a novel device for shock mounting a lamp within housing means for a lamp that is particularly intended for use with motorized vehicles, such as farm tractors and other vehicles designed for cross-country travel, as well as over-the-road trucks and the like. Basically, the novel device of the present invention comprises a hollow generally frustoconical resilient member having a long-central axis extending between centers of its opposite ends, with one of the opposite ends of that member including means for retaining, supporting and locating a lamp in a predetermined position, and the other of the opposite ends of that member including means for fastening that member to the lamp housing means, and that member including plural segments positioned around the long-central axis and extending between the opposite ends of that member, with each of the plural segments being generally serpentine in its longitudinal extension with respect to that axis. Preferably, the means for retaining, supporting and locating comprise seat means formed on the resilient member adjacent the intersection of one end of each of the plural segments with a portion of a circumferential flange that is formed on and extends around the first-mentioned one of the opposite ends of that member and the means for fastening include plural apertures provided in the other of the opposite ends of that member.
