Abstract
In an electrical lamp socket assembly for receiving an externally threaded light bulb having a central longitudinal axis and providing electrical coupling to a pair of lead wires, the improvement wherein a central conductor extends through a transversely extending opening of an insulative bottom platform. The central conductor has a base portion having a piercing tab for contacting one of the pair of lead wires and a transversely extending, resiliently flexible strip portion. The strip portion has an end immediately extending from the base portion, an opposed free end disposed below the top of the bottom platform, and an upwardly-projecting, generally convexly curved intermediate segment connecting the strip portion ends, extending through and above the top of the bottom platform and through the central axis for defining a conductor for contacting a bottom-end conductor of the light bulb. The through opening in the bottom platform is configured and dimensioned to preclude passage therethrough of the base portion and the free end of the strip portion.
