Patent ID: 8242701

Claim:
A bayonet type LED mounting arrangement for insertion into a socket of the type having a slotted negative casing and a positive center pin comprising, in combination: a circuit board having an upper surface, a lower surface and a peripheral edge, said circuit board having walls defining an aperture therethrough in regions adjacent the center portion of the circuit board; a positive circuit on said upper surface of said circuit board and a negative circuit on said lower surface of said circuit board, said positive circuit having a positive contact ring in regions adjacent said aperture, said negative circuit having a negative contact ring in regions spaced from said aperture; at least one LED light source on said circuit board in regions adjacent said peripheral edge thereof, and said at least one LED light source electrically connected to said positive circuit and said negative circuit; an electrically conductive threaded screw member extending through said aperture in said circuit board and having a cap portion contacting said positive contact ring and a shank portion extending therefrom and said shank portion having a remote end spaced from said cap portion; an elongated, tubular electrically insulated spacer having an outer surface and an inner surface, said inner surface threaded to match the threads on said shank of said screw member, and said spacer threadingly engaging said shank portion of said screw, and a top end of said spacer abutting said lower surface of said circuit board and a bottom end of said spacer in regions adjacent said tip of said shank portion of said screw; an electrically conductive tube surrounding said outside surface of said spacer and electrically insulated from said screw by said spacer, said tube having a top end abutting said negative contact ring on said lower surface of said circuit board and a bottom end in regions adjacent said tip of said shank portion of said screw; an electrically conductive pin member connected to said tube and extending outwardly therefrom.
