Patent ID: 7530849

Claim:
A lamp holding device comprising at least: one electrically insulating hollow body ( 4 ) set to receive an end portion ( 3 ) of a lamp ( 2 ); one pair of electric contacts ( 7 ) disposed in said hollow body ( 4 ), each of which can be associated with a respective conductive element projecting from said end portion ( 3 ) of the lamp ( 2 ); characterised in that each electric contact ( 7 ) comprises: at least one first resilient counter-element ( 9 ) movable between an opened position to enable passage of the respective conductive element and a constraint position to lock said conductive element in place, said resilient counter-element ( 9 ) having a contact surface ( 9 a ) adapted to abut onto a respective side wall of the conductive element, and a second resilient counter-element ( 10 ) which too is movable between an opened position to enable passage of the respective conductive element and a constraint position to lock said conductive element in place and having a contact surface ( 10 a ) adapted to abut onto a respective side wall of the conductive element, wherein said first resilient counter-element ( 9 ) extends transversely of the second resilient counter-element ( 10 ), said surfaces ( 9 a , 10 a ) of the first and second resilient counter-elements ( 9 , 10 ) being transverse to each other.
