Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0101257A1] A safety lampholder in which in the absence of a bulb contacts that are accessible within the lampholder socket are electrically isolated from fixed terminals to which a supply cable is connected. The contacts are supported on a carrier and can only be moved into engagement with the fixed terminals by applying a force to a pin or pins extending into the socket. The pin may be sharp so that it cannot be pushed by an unprotected finger, or may lie along the wall of the socket so that its tip does not provide sufficient grip to an inserted finger. The pin and carrier may be relatively movable, movement of the pin relative to the carrier causing the carrier to rotate to a position in which it may move axially towards the fixed terminals.
