Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a netted lamp device in a pattern of one of various matrices, and especially to a netted lamp device wherein the miniature lamps are braided intercrossingly to render the miniature lamps to be arranged to form a decorative pattern or a letter, the braided pattern can even become more variant patterns or letters by controlling of individual switches.
  • a conventional Christmas lamp string mostly is made to be a specified lengthy linear lamp string, the bulbs of the lamp string are lightened to emit light or flash. Variety of such conventional Christmas lamp string is limited, for example, it can only be arranged in a V shape to be wrapped around a Christmas tree.
  • a plurality of frameworks imitating a star or a Christmas tree etc. are designed, wherein, the miniature lamps are embedded in the frameworks to function as a shining star or a shining Christmas tree, however, decorative variety thereof is still limited, yet the accessory framework imitating the star or the Christmas tree etc. occupies quited a large volume and is not suitable for packaging and shipping.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a netted lamp device in a pattern of one of various matrices, and especially a netted lamp device wherein a plurality of lamp strings each having an individual loop are optionally braided intercrossingly to form a network of the decorative patterned lamps, such optionally intercrossing arrangement of each lamp string can form various braided patterns and letters by controlling the individual switches of the above mentioned lamps, which switches are controlled by a single chip integrated circuit having therein an internally preserved control program, the integrated circuit is driven by the program to form a single output or a series of serial or intermitent outputs, in order that a plurality of lamp strings create more variant flasing, so that the decorative braided lamps can provide much more abundant decorative functions of patterns or letters.
  • the present invention is comprised generally of a plurality of miniature lamps braided into a decorative pattern with suitable area.
  • the decorative lamps are used with a peripheral frame 10 made of flexible material and of suitable size, wherein, the most outside miniature lamp 11 closest to an edge of the frame 10 has its one conductor 12 wrapped over the frame 10, while has the other conductor 13 connected to a lower miniature lamp 14, the miniature lamp 14 is further connected to other lower miniature lamps, the latter are braided in pursuance of such braiding mode all the way during adding of the lamp strings to form the whole decorative lamp device.
  • a control box 20 comprising a control circuit is provided exteriorly of the decorative lamps, which control box 20 can be connected to the power source through a plug 200.
  • the whole decorative lamp device includes four individual loops, the control box 20 is connected to the lamps via the conductors 21, 22, 23, 24 and a grounding loop wire 25.
  • the decoration panel 70 to be braided is given a suitable area, the panel 70 can be composed of a plurality of intersection points 71 which form the whole matrix of the decorative lamps.
  • a miniature lamp is provided at each intersection points 71.
  • a first lamp string 30 is provided with conductors 31 as are requested by actual requirement in design, and is provided with a plurality of miniature lamps 111 arranged optionally in pursuance of a designed pattern or letter and located at the intersection points 71.
  • a second lamp string 40 is extended tortuously along the outer edges of the braided first lamp string 30 to render the conductors 41 thereof to intercross with the conductors 31 of first lamp string 30 and is braided therewith, meantime, the miniature lamps 112 of the second lamp string 40 are positioned to fully fill the empty intersection points 71 around the first lamp string 30; in the same way, as is shown in Fig. 6, a third lamp string 50 is also braided to combine with the second lamp string 40.
  • the most outside lamp string 60 i.e., the fourth lamp string 60, forms in a regular way along the boundaries of the frame the peripheral edges.
  • the first to the fourth lamp string 30, 40, 50, 60 can beside form the desired patterns or letters directly during turning on the electric power by using different colors on the miniature lamps 111, 112 and 113, 114, they can further have more variant fasions under the following driving and control mode of the circuit.
  • a rectifier D in the embodiment of the circuit, current from the power supply is firstly rectified by a rectifier D to form a DC voltage which is filtered by R2 and C1 and is supplied for a single chip integrated circuit U1 with working voltage.
  • the single chip integrated circuit U1 is an output control unit which can be preserved with the control program for required lamp flashing and changing of pattern, in order to control changing at the output terminal of the single chip integrated circuit U1, the output terminal is connected to the triggering ends of the four switches Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4, according to the embodiment shown in the drawing, the switches Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 can be silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCR), the output terminals of the four switches Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 are connected respectively to the lamp bulbs L1, L2, L3 and L4.
  • SCR silicon-controlled rectifiers
  • the integrated circuit U1 When the activating terminal 14 of the single chip integrated circuit U1 is grounded through a push button switch S, the integrated circuit U1 is driven by the program to give a single output or a series of serial or intermitent outputs to control changing of flashing of the lamp bulbs L1, L2, L3 and L4.
  • Fig. 8-10 are views showing the basic structures of individual loops of lamp string, in Fig. 8, the first conductor 21 and the grounding loop wire 25 form an inner first loop with the lamp string 30, while in Fig. 9, the second conductor 22 and the grounding loop wire 25 form an outer second loop with the lamp string 40, and so forth, a braided lamp decoration including multiple loops can be formed as is shown in Fig. 10.
  • At least one set of lamp string optionally arranged in the whole lamp decoration of the present invention is controlled for lightening or unlightening by the above mentioned internal control program of the single chip integrated circuit U1, or as shown in Fig. 12, control of lightening or unlightening of the inner optionally arranged lamp string and the outer regularly arranged (along the boundary of the frame) lamp string is effected, and the whole lamp strings can also be certainly controlled for lightening as is shown in Fig. 13.
  • flashing of a tree shaped lamp decoration can be formed as is shown in Fig. 14; or flashing of an M shaped lamp decoration can be formed as is shown in Fig. 15; or flashing of lamp decoration having the shape of multiple triangles can be formed as is shown in Fig. 16; or flashing of a lamp decoration in the shape as is shown in Fig. 17 can be formed.
  • the whole lamp decoration can have more than 16 kinds of patterns or letters for choice of changing by means of the internal control program of the inner optionally arranged lamp string and control of the external cooperating IC.
  • the whole lamp decoration can be put on the surface of a flexible base 80 such as is shown in Fig. 18, and can certainly be positioned instead in a hard frame 90 such as is shown in Fig. 19.
