MULTI-PIECE CLAMPING SHELL FOR ELECTRIC CIGAR LIGHTERS Abstract A two-piece metal clamping shell for electric cigar lighters of the type employed in automobiles and other vehicles wherein a socket is carried in an aperture of the vehicle dashboard or other panel and an igniting unit or plug is receivable in the socket. The clamping shell includes a cylindrical body member which encircles the cigar lighter socket and which is adapted to secure the latter in its operative position. The body member of the shell is disposed behind the dashboard, and retains the socket by its engagement with the rear surface of the dash. The socket has a threaded portion at its inner end, and a similarly threaded clamp ring is applied there- to with the said body member being disposed between it and the dashboard's rear surface. The clamp ring has a peripheral nest portion adapted to centralize the body member with respect to the socket, and is capable of being tightened on the socket so as to secure the latter in place. The advantage over the devices of the prior art is that assembly of the shell to the socket is sim- plified, since the socket can be oriented with respect to the body member prior to tightening of the ring. Where a lamp and lamp housing are carried on the member, the socket can he positioned so that openings in its side wall align with the lamp filament. This arrangement maximizes the amount of light reaching the socket interior.
