Abstract
A lamp module for an image projector includes a lamp assembly connected to a lamp frame by a retainer clip having three-point snap connection to the lamp frame. The retainer clip is made of sheet metal and includes a central opening that receives the lamp assembly to form a sub-assembly that snaps into the lamp frame. The lamp frame includes two upstanding posts each having a shoulder that snaps into an associated opening in the retainer clip. The retainer clip further includes a lip that snaps over the front face of the lamp frame to securely connect the lamp assembly to the lamp frame.
