Patent ID: 7952114

Claim:
A light-emitting device assembly, the assembly comprising: a contact carrier having a light-emitting device receiving region and resilient contacts provided proximate to the light-emitting device receiving region; a light-emitting device, the light-emitting device having leads which extend therefrom, the leads mechanically and electrically engaging the resilient contacts; a heat sink thermally coupled to the light-emitting device, the heat sink drawing heat away from the light-emitting device to maintain the light-emitting device at a proper operating temperature; a cover extending over the contact carrier and the light-emitting device, the cover having an opening which aligns with the light-emitting device, the opening having a sidewall, at least one portion of the sidewall having resiliency; and a securing member integral with the cover, the securing member extending through the contact carrier and into the heat sink to releasably retain the contact carrier and the light-emitting device in position relative to each other and relative to the heat sink; whereby as the cover is latched to the heat sink, the at least one portion of the sidewall resiliently cooperates with the light-emitting device to maintain the light-emitting device in position.
