(under the class definition) Subject matter where the lamp or discharge device is provided with a support or has combined therewith a detachable electrical connector.
(1) Note. This subclass excludes electric lamps including those of the discharge device type, generators of invisible rays (e.g., X-ray tubes, ultraviolet ray generators) in combination with a separable support for the device. See the class definition for the excluded subject matter.
(2) Note. See the class definition of this class (Class 313) for the location of a distinct electrical connector and for line notes distinguishing this class and Class 439, Electrical Connectors.

174, Electricity: Conductors and Insulators,
138, for insulating supports for elongated tubular lamps. Also, see the reference to Class 248, subclass 50, below.
248, Supports, appropriate subclasses for miscellaneous supports. Note especially 50, for supports designed to support elongated tubing such as
gas or vapor lamps (see the reference to Class 174, above), and subclasses 500+ for the combination of a lamp or discharge device envelope and a support therefor (e.g., a socket) with where no electrical features are claimed.
439, Electrical Connectors,
296+, for an electrical coupling part with coupling movement actuating means or retaining means in addition to the contact thereof; and subclasses 527+ for a connector having mounting or supporting means. Class 439 includes the combination of a specific electrical connector with a broadly recited electric lamp. See (2) above.
