Abstract
A lamp base/husk assembly comprises an elongate lamp base and an elongate husk configured and dimensioned to receive coaxially and telescopically therein (and to release therefrom) a portion of the lamp base. A lug-and-locking element combination, integral in part with the lamp base and in part with the husk, is provided for effecting a positive interlock of the lamp base and husk in a coaxial and telescoped disposition (and for releasing such interlock) by a manual movement independent of the manual movement required to effect receipt of the lamp base and husk in the coaxial and telescoped disposition (or the separation of the lamp base and husk therefrom).
