Abstract
An improved connecting mechanism for a bulb holder and a socket includes a latch member which is one part of the bulb holder and a securing seat which is one part of the socket. The latch member includes a boss which extends horizontally from the outer wall of the flange of the tubular body of the bulb holder. A hooking rod extends from the underside of the boss to a preset length. A slightly enlarged bead is provided at the end of the hooking rod. The securing seat includes a projected portion extended from the top of the outer wall of the tubular body of the socket. The projected portion further includes a securing channel for receiving the hooking rod. The inner diameter of the securing channel is slightly smaller than the hooking rod in such a manner that an interference fit is reached therebetween.
