Abstract:
1. A lamp socket for receiving a lamp including a light tube shaped into a straight tube and a base provided to an end of the light tube, wherein the base is provided with a pin including a contact piece extending along an axial direction of the light tube and an extension piece extending along a radial direction of the light tube from a tip of the contact piece, at its end surface in the axial direction, the lamp socket comprises: a socket body formed into a hollow box shape and provided with an insertion hole at its primary surface; and a conductive plate for power supply, the conductive plate being formed into an approximate band plate shape, and the conductive plate being positioned inside the socket body so as to have a width direction along the axial direction and face the insertion hole, the conductive plate has one surface opposite to a central axis of the insertion hole, and a first space is provided between the other surface of the conductive plate and an inner periphery of the socket body, and a second space is provided between a bottom surface of the socket body opposite to the primary surface of the socket body and the conductive plate, and a third space is provided between the first space and the bottom surface of the socket body and communicates with the second space so as to form a rotation space together with the second space, when the pin of the lamp is inserted into the insertion hole and the lamp is rotated about its axis, the contact piece comes in contact with the one surface of the conductive plate and a rotation track of the extension piece passes through the rotation space, the socket body is provided at its inner surface with a first pedestal, a second pedestal, and a limitation part, the first pedestal having a first mounting surface on which one part of the conductive plate is mounted, the second pedestal being formed at a position far from the first pedestal and having a second mounting surface on which another part of the conductive plate is mounted, and the limitation part including a first limitation piece facing the one surface of the conductive plate and a second limitation piece facing the other surface of the conductive plate, and the conductive plate is fixed on the second mounting surface.
