Abstract:
1. A lamp holder for a headlight, in particular for a motor vehicle, which is intended to carry a lamp, a cap of which comprises means for the bayonet mounting of a high-voltage connector, the lamp holder comprising: a body delimited radially by a roughly cylindrical tubular wall with a longitudinal principal axis, produced from an electrically conductive material; means of fixing the cap of the lamp coaxially in the lamp holder so that the body of the high-voltage connector, when it is mounted on the lamp, extends longitudinally towards the rear from a rear end edge of the wall of the lamp holder; and at least one claw electrically connected to the wall of the lamp holder and intended to be in contact with the body of the high-voltage connector, when it is mounted, so as to discharge the lamp holder, which is electrically charged by an electromagnetic field emitted by the lamp; wherein said at least one claw extends in a tangential direction with respect to the wall of the lamp holder and perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal principal axis; wherein said at least one claw is carried by a rear end portion of a longitudinal finger that is fixed to an external face of said wall of the lamp holder and extends projecting with respect to the rear end edge of said wall of the lamp holder; wherein said at least one claw extends from said longitudinal finger in a tangential direction with respect to said wall of the lamp holder in the direction of the pivoting movement for the bayonet mounting of the high-voltage connector; wherein said lamp holder comprises a plurality of claws that are carried by at least one finger; wherein said plurality of claws are arranged on the rear end portion of the finger, longitudinally one behind the other and parallel to each other so as to form a comb.
