Abstract

In contrast to conventional, fixed-cabled lamp chains with enormous energy requirements, the new electronic lamp chain is distinguished by special constructive improvements. It is to make possible a lighter and more variable structure. The novel lamp chain consists of a multiplicity of cable-less electronic candles with bright LED bulbs. The candle holders contain worked-in contact sockets which are plugged together with finished, plug-in cable connections only after the installation of the candles, which until then were cableless, easily and unmistakably to form a light chain that can be connected to the mains. A power unit with selector switch is provided for the safe, low-voltage supply. The selector switch makes it possible to expand the lamp chain rapidly up to 40 candles. Because it is equipped with standard components, it is especially inexpensive. The minimal power consumption promotes the environmentally politically correct trend for the user to save energy. The handling of the electronic lamp chain is thus unprecedentedly simple and uncomplicated, and the chain is extremely favorable in energy consumption and can be used universally as decoration illumination for Christmas trees, window decorations, etc., inside and outside.

Description

Gattung des AnmeldegegenstandesGenre of the object of registration

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektronische Lichterkette nach dem Oberbegriff des An­ spruches 1.The invention relates to an electronic Fairy lights according to the generic term of the An saying 1.

Angabe zur GattungSpecification of the genus

Eine elektrische Lichterkette soll einer­ seits die Gefahren einer Wachskerze mit offener Flamme verhindern, andererseits selber keine Gefahrenquelle sein. Im übrigen soll sie leicht und problematisch im Umgang für Jedermann sein.An electric chain of lights is said to be one the dangers of a wax candle prevent open flame, on the other hand itself is not a source of danger. in the the rest it should be easy and problematic in dealing with everyone.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Es ist bekannt, das es kabelgebundene Lichterketten gibt. Ferner ist bekannt, daß es Lichterketten gibt, welche bis zu 40 Kerzen beinhalten und mit einem Netzgerät ausgestattet sind.It is known that it is wired Fairy lights there. It is also known that there are fairy lights, which up to to contain 40 candles and with one Power supply are equipped.

Kritik des Standes der TechnikCritique of the state of the art

Im Üblichen entsteht schon bei dem Aus­ packen einer Lichterkette Kabel-Salat. Das Anbringen gestaltet sich in den meisten Fällen noch zeitraubender. Längere Lichterketten werden deshalb normalerweise von 2 Personen montiert, um den Unvermeidlichen zu entgegen. Auch die Glühbirnen sind im besonderen Maße gefährdet. Sie sind sehr stoßempfind­ lich und haben einen erheblichen Ener­ gieverbrauch.In the usual it already arises with the end pack a string of lights cable salad. The attachment is in the in most cases even more time consuming. Longer fairy lights are therefore normally assembled by 2 people, to meet the inevitable. The light bulbs are also special Dimensions at risk. You are very sensitive to shock Lich and have a considerable energy energy consumption.

Aufgabetask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Stromverbrauch der Lichterketten erheblich zu senken und den Kabel-Salat endlich zu beseitigen, somit also den Arbeitsaufwand erheblich zu verringern. The invention is based on the object the electricity consumption of the fairy lights significantly lower and the cable salad to finally eliminate, thus the Reduce workload significantly.  

Lösungsolution

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein Netzgerät den Netzstrom auf eine ungefährliche Spannung reduziert und die aus den Kerzenfassungen heraus­ nehmbaren Glühbirnen aus helleuchtenden extrem energiesparenden LEDs be­ stehen.This object is achieved according to the invention solved that a power supply the mains power reduced to a safe voltage and those from the candle holders removable lightbulbs made of luminous extremely energy-saving LEDs stand.

Weitere Ausgesaltung der ErfindungFurther elaboration of the invention

Um den gefürchteten Kabel-Salat endlich wirksam entgegenzutreten, wurde bei weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung die Stromnver­ bindung von Kerze zu Kerze getrennt. Die einzelnen Kerzen können also ohne störendes Kabel angebracht werden. Erst danach wird durch ein Kabelstecksystem die elektrische Verbindung zu dem Netz­ gerät hergestellt.For the dreaded cable salad at last To counteract effectively was another Education of the invention the Stromnver Binding separated from candle to candle. The individual candles can be without disruptive cable can be attached. First then through a cable connector system the electrical connection to the network device manufactured.

Erzielbare VorteileAchievable advantages

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vor­ teile bestehen insbesondere in der bei­ spiellosen Vereinfachung mit dem Umgang der elektronischen Lichterkette. Die fertigen, steckbaren Kabelstücke werden erst nach dem Anbringen der bis dahin kabellosen Kerzen leicht und unverwechselbar in die Kerzenfassungen zu einer netzverbindenden Lichterkette zusammengesteckt. Ein erheb­ licher Vorteil ergibt sich aus der Ver­ wendung besonders stromsparender und bruchfester LED Glühbirnen, dem Aussehen herkömmlicher Glühbirnen vergleichbar. Erwähnenswert ist im übrigen die be­ liebige Erweiterung der Lichterkette auf bis zu 40 Kerzen.The achievable with the invention parts consist in particular of the simplification of dealing with the electronic fairy lights. The finished, pluggable cable pieces are only after attaching the previously wireless Candles light and distinctive in the Candle holders for a network connection String of lights put together. A raise advantage arises from the ver particularly energy-saving and unbreakable LED light bulbs, the appearance comparable to conventional light bulbs. Incidentally, the be any extension of the fairy lights up to 40 candles.

Claims (4)

1. Elektronische Lichterkette als Dekorationsbe­ leuchtung für Tannenbäume, Fensterschmuck etc. Kennzeichnender Teil 1. Electronic chain of lights as decoration lighting for fir trees, window decorations etc. Characteristic part dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Lichterkette aus einer Mehrzahl elektronischer Kerzen einem Netzteil mit Wahlschalter und steckbaren Kabelverbindungen zusammengesetzt ist. Das Netzgerät mit Wahlschalter hat die Aufgabe, den Netzstrom auf eine ungefährliche Spannung zu reduzieren. Der mehrstufige Schalter ermög­ licht die Verwendung bis zu 40 Kerzen. Die aus den Kerzenfassungen herausnehmbaren Glühbirnen bestehen aus helleuchtenden und extrem energiesparenden LEDs. Oberbegriff des Unteranspruchs characterized in that the chain of lights is composed of a plurality of electronic candles, a power supply unit with a selector switch and pluggable cable connections. The power supply unit with selector switch has the task of reducing the mains current to a harmless voltage. The multi-stage switch enables the use of up to 40 candles. The light bulbs, which can be removed from the candle holders, consist of brightly lit and extremely energy-saving LEDs. Preamble of the dependent claim 2. Elektronische Lichterkette nach Anspruch 1, Kennzeichnender Teil des Unteranspruchs 2. Electronic chain of lights according to claim 1, Characteristic part of the subclaim dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Stromverbindung von Kerze zu Kerze getrennt ist, die einzelnen Kerzen also ohne störendes Kabel angebracht werden können. Erst danach wird durch ein Kabel­ stecksystem die elektrische Verbindung zum Netz­ gerät hergestellt.characterized in that the power connection is separated from candle to candle, the individual So candles attached without annoying cables can be. Only after that is a cable the electrical connection to the network device manufactured.
