Abstract
A conductive track circuit for shock mounting a light bulb within a lamp housing particularly well suited for use on motor vehicles to protect the light bulb from shock loads and vibrations. The conductor track circuit includes mounting flanges for attaching the track circuit to the lamp housing, electrical conductor strip members integral with the mounting flanges for connecting the track circuit to a source of electrical energy, and resilient arms integral with the mounting flanges for holding the light bulb in position and absorbing vibrations and shocks. A blank from which the track circuit is formed includes three coplanar conductor tracks each having a mounting flange with an integrally formed terminal strip member extending from the mounting flange and an integrally formed arm extending from the mounting flange, the conductor tracks being in spaced juxtaposition and connected together by integral webs.
