.~.~ With resilient means to position source or modifier
DEFINITION
Classification: 362/306
(under subclass 296) Subject matter wherein movement of the light source, the modifier or both with respect to some other part of the recited combination is prevented in at least one direction by the force exerted by an elastic means under stress.
(1) Note. The elastic means may act directly on the element being held by it or indirectly as through a latch.
(2) Note. The elastic means may also have another function as, for example, carrying current to the light source. Bayonet-type sockets are often of this type.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
267, for a light source or modifier resiliently biased against an element with a flexible means between the light source or modifier and the element to hermetically seal the juncture.
269, for resiliently mounted light units with means to rotate or tilt the light unit against the effect of the resilient means from one position to another.
