ABSTRACT:
A socketless light bulb holder in the form of a substantially rigid, plastic bracket including a base affixed to a supporting structure with a generally centrally disposed mounting screw and a pair of terminal screws. The holder also includes a bulb holder portion snugly embracing the base of a light bulb. The terminals on the base of the light bulb are connected to conductor members extending from the terminals on the base of the light bulb to the terminal screws on the base of the holder with the conductor members being soldered to the terminals on the base of the light bulb thereby eliminating the necessity of the light bulb being inserted into and twisted in relation to a light bulb socket in order to mount the light bulb in the socket. In one embodiment of the invention, the holder includes a locking retainer for engagement with one of the bayonet pins which conventionally project radially from the base of the light bulb to mechanically lock the bulb in position. In another embodiment, the holder which snugly engages the base of the light bulb is provided wiht a slot enabling passage of one of the radially extending pins on the base of the light bulb. The positive soldered connection between the light bulb terminals and the conductor members eliminates points of corrosion which frequently results in the electrical energy supplied to the light bulb becoming interrupted.
