Patent ID: 8613537

Claim:
A display and illumination system comprising: a light source section housing a light source module for producing light; a holder having opposed first and second holder bodies and retaining said light source module in said light source section between said first and second holder bodies; an optical fiber for transmitting the light produced by said light source module; a display illumination unit receiving, through and away from said optical fiber, and radiating the light produced by said light source module, wherein said light source module includes opposed first and second sides transverse to said first and second holder bodies, wherein said second side has a concave surface that has a concave surface axis which is transverse to the first and second holder bodies, a light source disposed within said light source module and between said first and second holder bodies and said first and second sides, wherein said light source has an optical axis along which the light is emitted, a tubular portion projecting from said first side, having a central axis, and engaging said optical fiber so that the optical axis of said light source is aligned with the central axis of said tubular portion, a plug electrode for supplying electrical power to said light source, and a pressing member transverse to said first and second holder bodies, engaging, and rotatable about an axis of rotation that is transverse to said first and second holder bodies, wherein said pressing member has an exterior surface which, in a cross-section transverse to the axis of rotation, varies smoothly in separation from the axis of rotation, for engaging and disengaging said concave surface of said second side and urging said tubular portion toward and away from said optical fiber, with the concave surface axis of said second surface intersecting the optical axis of said light source and the central axis of said tubular portion.
