Lighting device
First Claim
1. Lighting device comprising an elongated support having a generally U-shaped cross-section, said support including electrically conductive surfaces extending respectively along the inside of the legs of said support, a pair of lamp holders made from an electrically insulating material displaceably arranged with respect to each other in said support, co-engaging releaseable means on said support and lamp holders for retaining said lamp holders in said support, an incandescent lamp of the type comprising a tubular section and an electrically conductive cap at each end thereof having a cylindrical section, each said cylindrical section being received in a corresponding one of said pair of lamp holders, and a contact spring on each said lamp holder connecting one cylindrical section of an end cap on said lamp with a corresponding one of said conductive surfaces extending along the inside of said support.

Abstract
An illuminating device contains an elongated support having a U-shaped cross section. Tubular incandescent lamps are provided inside said support. Each lamp is carried by two lamp holders. The support consists of two metallic sections, each having an L-shaped cross section. The two sections are insulated from each other and are connected to the terminals of a low voltage electric supply.
