Abstract

See full text

An improved lamp connector comprises a base, a first cooperating member, a retainer, and a second cooperating member having a bulbous female connector being larger in size than an aperture formed by the a ridge on the retainer. The first and second cooperating members are operatively connected via male and female connectors to energize a UV lamp connected to the distal portion of the first cooperating member. The UV lamp cannot be removed from its housing while energized because the second cooperating member must be detached from the first cooperating member in order for the retainer to be removed. The retainer must be removed in order to remove the first cooperating member to gain access to the UV lamp.
