Abstract
The present invention provides a device for mounting a lamp socket, particularly for a candelabrum lamp having an elongated branch support having a passage for passing wires between the socket and an electrical source. The elongated support has a threaded end portion with an opening leading to the passage. A clip member having a vertical pocket and a horizontal wall forming an aperture for receiving the threaded portion of the support and a pair of opposed clip elements having opposed arcuate edges is pressed upon or screwed around the threaded portion via the clip elements. A bar connected to the socket has a free mounting end that is adapted to slide into the vertical pocket of the clip member. The socket is removable from the clip. The clip can be pressed or screwed onto the threaded portion by a mounting tool. Likewise, the clip can be unscrewed from the threaded member by the mounting tool.
