DEFINITION

Classification: 439/226

COUPLING PART TO RECEIVE FLUORESCENT OR NEON LAMP:

(under the class definition) Electrical connector comprising a coupling part* particularly intended to be used to physically interfit with and supply electric current to an illumination device, which illuminating device includes means to ionize that gas (a) to cause the gas to activate a coating on the envelope and causes that coating to emit visible light, or (b) wherein the gas is neon to cause the gas to emit visible light.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

56+, for a preformed panel circuit arrangement with an electrical connector for connection to a lamp or electric tube.

168, for a lamp or electron tube socket or base convertible by internal change to selectively cooperate with a different contact.

182, for a lamp or electron tube socket or including arc suppressing or extinguishing means.

220, for a lamp or electron tube socket or base adapted to engage a mating connector in alternative manners.

280, for a lamp or electron tube socket or base having a resilient housing for sealing with a coupled connector. 336, for a lamp or electron tube socket or adapted to receive a cooperating lamp or tube by bayonet action, including a movement-actuating means or retaining means in addition to the contact of the socket.

356, for a lamp or electron tube socket including a retaining means comprising a finger or stretchable sleeve resiliently urged laterally of connection with a mating part.

375, for a lamp or electron tube socket or base with a guiding means for mating of coupling part.

414, for a lamp or electron tube socket or base including a conductor sheath penetrating contact and screw means to move the conductor against the cutting contact.

419, for a lamp or electron tube socket or base including a conductor sheath penetrating contact adapted to cut to engage a first conductor and to also engage (and interconnect) a second conductor.

541, for plural lamp or electron tube sockets including supporting means therefor.

558, for a lamp or electron tube socket extending into a supporting panel.

602, for a lamp or electron tube socket or base including flexing insulation.

611+, for a connector or contact having vitreous-type envelope secured thereto (e.g.., a base of a lamp or vacuum tube).

661+, for a plural contact coupling part including a screw-threaded contact and insulation other than the conductor sheath.
