Claims
- 1. A tool for inserting a lamp module provided with a tether comprising a tether head into a lamp receptacle comprising a rail, said tool comprising:a longitudinally extending handle extending in a first direction and having a distal end; and a head disposed on said distal end and comprising a frontal wall and a longitudinally extending cavity in said frontal wall for receiving said tether head; said cavity extending in a second direction extending substantially perpendicularly to said first direction.
- 2. The tool in accordance with claim 1, wherein said head further comprises an extension extending from said frontal wall and wherein said extension has a sloping upper surface and a lower surface.
- 3. The tool in accordance with claim 2, wherein said head further comprises a lower surface and said extension comprises a distal end and wherein said lower surface of said extension extends from said frontal wall to said distal end of said extension in substantial alignment with said lower surface of said head of said tool.
- 4. The tool in accordance with claim 3, wherein said sloping upper surface slopes upwardly from said distal end of said extension toward said frontal wall.
- 5. The tool in accordance with claim 4, wherein said frontal wall has a predetermined width and said extension extends from a portion of said width of said frontal wall.
- 6. The tool in accordance with claim 1 wherein said head further comprises a lower surface and said handle extends at a predetermined angle to said lower surface of said head.
- 7. The tool in accordance with claim 4 wherein said handle comprises a first portion disposed adjacent said head and extending at said predetermined angle and a second portion extending between said first portion and said head, and wherein said second portion extends from said head at angle to said lower surface of said head differing from said predetermined angle.
- 8. The tool in accordance with claim 6 wherein said first predetermined angle is greater than said second predetermined angle.
- 9. The tool in accordance with claim 1 and further comprising a pin disposed in said cavity and extending a direction substantially parallel to said frontal wall.
- 10. The tool in accordance with claim 1 wherein said head further comprises a rear wall disposed opposite said frontal wall and a slotted opening in said rear wall extending toward said frontal wall.
- 11. The tool in accordance with claim 10 wherein said head further comprises a lower surface and wherein said slotted opening extends in a direction substantially parallel to said lower surface and toward said frontal wall.
- 12. The tool in accordance with claim 1 wherein said head further comprises a rear wall, opposing side walls and an upper wall, and wherein said rear wall is disposed opposite said frontal wall and said opposing side walls extend between said frontal wall and said rear wall and said upper wall extends between said side walls, and wherein said head further comprises a cavity in said rear wall extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to said rear wall, said cavity having a center portion and sloping side walls extending at a predetermined angle from said center portion toward said side walls.
- 13. The tool in accordance with claim 12 wherein said side walls of said cavity each comprise a sloping upper portion sloping in direction extending from said rear wall toward said upper wall.
- 14. The tool in accordance with claim 13 wherein said rear wall further comprises a sloping lower portion sloping in a direction extending from said rear wall toward said lower wall.
