The crook socket at the top end of Leblanc basses is a fairly large affair which is essentially two different size sockets joined together - the narrower diameter socket is for the crook (with a sax-style locking screw) and the larger diameter one slips over the tenon on the top end of the top joint. You'll see it on these photos of a Leblanc bass:

A Noblet bass, like most bass clarinets, has a regular socket in the top joint (reinforced with a metal socket ring) where the corked crook tenon fits into it:

The lyrebox, lyre holder, lyre fitting isn't the socket - sockets are typically the deep countersinks in the ends of joints or a metal tube set into the end of a joint where the tenons fit into them to join two joints together.
