Description

Hintergrund der ErfindungBackground of the invention

(a) Bereich der Erfindung(a) Field of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lichterkette, wie sie zum Beispiel als Weihnachtsdekoration benutzt wird.The The invention relates to a fairy lights, such as Christmas decorations is used.

(b) Beschreibung des derzeitigen Standes der Technik(b) Description of the current state of the technique

Lichterketten für die Weihnachtsdekoration werden im Allgemeinen unter Verwendung herkömmlicher Glühbirnen hergestellt, die einzeln in Sockel gesteckt oder geschraubt werden, die wiederum einzeln mit der Zuleitung, die die Grundlage für die Kette bildet, verbunden werden. Dieser Prozeß ist nicht nur ziemlich aufwendig und damit teuer, sondern die so produzierten Lichterketten haben häufig Probleme mit schlechtem Kontakt zwischen Sockel und Glühbirne, besonders wenn Zug auf die Kette ausgeübt wird. Auch wegen des hohen Stromverbrauchs sind derartige herkömmliche Lichterketten nicht mehr zeitgemäß.lights for the Christmas decoration is generally using conventional light bulbs manufactured, which are individually plugged into socket or screwed, which in turn individually with the supply line, which forms the basis for the chain, get connected. This process is not only quite expensive and therefore expensive, but the so produced Fairy lights are common Problems with bad contact between base and light bulb, especially when train is applied to the chain. Also because of the high Power consumption is not such conventional fairy lights more contemporary.

Detaillierte Beschreibung der bevorzugten AusführungDetailed description of the preferred execution

1 zeigt die Lichterkette mit LED-Leuchten der vorliegenden Erfindung. 2 ist eine Explosionsdarstellung eines Abschnitts der Lichterkette bestehend aus einer zweiadrigen Kunststoffstegleitung (5) mit Litzenleitern (56), die von einer Kunststoffisolierung (55) umhüllt sind, einem Sockel (6) und einer LED (8). 1 shows the fairy lights with LED lights of the present invention. 2 is an exploded view of a portion of the fairy lights consisting of a two-strand plastic pipe line ( 5 ) with stranded conductors ( 56 ), of a plastic insulation ( 55 ), a pedestal ( 6 ) and an LED ( 8th ).

3 bis 5 zeigen die genannten Teile im Detail. Die LED (8) haben am unteren Ende einen umlaufenden Rastrand (86) sowie an ihrer Unterseite (88) zwei senkrecht nach unten gehende, spitz zulaufende Kontakte (81, 82) aus einer Metalllegierung, die härter ist als das Material der Litzenleiter (56). Der Sockel (6) ist ein Block, der aus einem thermoplastischen Material hergestellt ist und in einer Richtung zwei horizontale parallel verlaufende Bohrungen hat, die miteinander verbunden sind und den gleichen Querschnitt wie die Leitung haben, so daß er die Leitung umschließen kann. Von jeder dieser Bohrungen ausgehend hat der Sockel einen senkrecht nach oben verlaufenden Schacht (612, 621) mit rechteckigem Querschnitt, der dem Querschnitt der Kontakte (81, 82) entspricht. Auf der Oberseite hat der Sockel (6) eine Vertiefung (62) die oben mit einem Kragen abgeschlossen ist, dessen Durchmesser etwas kleiner als der Durchmesser des Rastrandes (86) der LED ist, so daß die LED sicher gehalten wird, wenn sie in den Sockel gedrückt wurde. 3 to 5 show the mentioned parts in detail. The LED ( 8th ) have at the lower end a circumferential locking edge ( 86 ) as well as on its underside ( 88 ) two vertically downward-going, tapered contacts ( 81 . 82 ) of a metal alloy that is harder than the material of the stranded conductors ( 56 ). The base ( 6 ) is a block made of a thermoplastic material having in one direction two horizontal parallel bores which are interconnected and have the same cross-section as the conduit so that it can encircle the conduit. From each of these holes, the base has a vertically upwardly extending shaft ( 612 . 621 ) of rectangular cross section corresponding to the cross section of the contacts ( 81 . 82 ) corresponds. On the top, the base ( 6 ) a recess ( 62 ) which is closed at the top with a collar whose diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the latching edge ( 86 ) of the LED so that the LED is held securely when pushed into the socket.

Beim Zusammenbau wird der Sockel auf die Leitung gefädelt und wenn er seine vorgeschriebene Lage erreicht hat, werden die Kontakte (81, 82) der LED in die Schächte (612, 621) gesteckt und die LED festgedrückt. Die Spitzen der Kontakte (81, 82) durchdringen dabei die Kunststoffisolierung (55) der Leitung (5) und dringen in die Litze ein, wodurch ein zuverlässiger elektrischer Kontakt hergestellt wird. Um die geforderte Langzeitstabilität zu erreichen werden die Teile durch Hochfrequenzkunststoffschweißen oder Ultraschallschweißen praktisch unlösbar miteinander verbunden.During assembly, the base is threaded onto the wire and when it reaches its prescribed position, the contacts ( 81 . 82 ) of the LED in the shafts ( 612 . 621 ) and the LED is pressed. The tips of the contacts ( 81 . 82 ) penetrate the plastic insulation ( 55 ) of the line ( 5 ) and penetrate into the strand, whereby a reliable electrical contact is made. In order to achieve the required long-term stability, the parts are connected by high-frequency plastic welding or ultrasonic welding virtually insoluble.
