Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved structure for a light installation, and more particularly to a connection structure for a number of fairy lights in such a light installation, which structure meets even higher safety requirements. Even with a light installation with a number of fairy lights of different lengths, the overall outside diameter of the light installation can be effectively reduced.
  • a light installation or fairy lights system includes more than one fairy lights, with a flexible and transparent tube lit or blinking when activated by a light chain circuit.
  • a flexible light installation may be hung over the surface (such as a wall of a building) for decoration purposes and may be made in the form of a roll which is cut to obtain the desired length for later use.
  • US Pat. No. 4,812,956 discloses a light installation in the form of a flexible lamp-band device with a mounting band, in which at least one groove, into which a lamp band is inserted, is incorporated into the outer circumferential surface.
  • Band contains a variety of lamps.
  • This device is wrapped waterproof and shockproof by a transparent PVC pipe.
  • the lamp bands are in appropriate kind and Way switched so that, for example, a blink effect can be generated.
  • three wires arranged in series are provided for the power connection.
  • the basic structure of such a tube-like light installation comprises a necessary conductor and a number of lamp bulbs that form the fairy lights.
  • the conventional light installations comprising a number of lamp bulbs arranged in a tube, there are two types, one of which has a number of radial holes arranged alternately on the tube and the other a number of axial grooves arranged on the tube ,
  • the conductors for connecting the fairy lights are integrally formed at the desired location on the transparent pipe (generally made of PVC material).
  • a number of conductors 11, 12, 13 may be simultaneously arranged in a transparent tube 10, when the latter is made PVC material is produced.
  • Such a structure has two fairy lights in the tube; it therefore contains a common power supply line 11 and two connecting conductors 12, 13.
  • the tube with the conductors is designed so that it has a number of radial holes.
  • This product initially has a larger radial hole allowing the insertion of one lamp bulb 14 from each string of lights, then two smaller radial holes adjacent to that hole allowing insertion of two connectors 15, then another larger radial hole, then two more smaller radial holes, etc.
  • the fairy lights can be arranged with a number of lamp bulbs 14 in a sequence in the tube.
  • Such a conventional light installation structure is difficult to assemble because one or more fairy lights must be passed through the radial holes;
  • the conductors 11, 12, 13 must pass the radial holes which extend directly to the center of the tube, whereby the conductors 12, 13 extend extremely close to the outer edge 16 of the transparent tube 10.
  • most ladder are unsuitable because they, if they are too close to the outer edge 16 of the transparent tube 10, pierced and break and to the Connections are cleared of two light installations each, which must have certain lengths when trimming before the connection is made.
  • the light installation of Fig. 2 has a number of axial grooves for arranging the fairy lights, with an elongate groove 101 being provided axially on a transparent tube 100 for inserting therein a fairy light with a number of light bulbs 102.
  • a number of conductors 103, 104, 105 are all disposed on one side of the elongate groove 101.
  • Such a conventional light installation structure is similarly unfavorable because it has a number of fairy lights which must be arranged in a single elongated groove 101, and because the conductors 104, 105 are located too close to the outer edge of the transparent tube 100, whereby the Safety is impaired. Since the conductors are all located on one side of the elongate groove 101, the diameter of the overall light installation is increased, thereby adversely affecting their function and driving up costs.
  • Such a semi-finished product is then provided with a minimum diameter secure positioning layer and then covered with a minimum thickness coating, thereby providing an improved structure for a light installation having a greater amount of inner fairleads and a smaller outer diameter more suitable for assembly and higher security requirements.
  • the present invention comprises a transparent lamp tube 30 which may be made of PVC material, wherein the transparent lamp tube 30 may be made to have axial elongated grooves 31, 32 for receiving the required amount of Has fairy lights.
  • a number of conductors 20, 21 and 22 are provided in the transparent lamp tube 30 at the time of molding.
  • the above-mentioned embodiment has two light chains 91, 92 in the transparent lamp tube 30.
  • the elongated grooves 31, 32 are therefore 180 ° apart and the conductors comprise a common conductor 20 and two individual conductors 21, 22.
  • the common conductor 20 is on one side of the two axial elongated grooves 31, 32, while the conductors 21, 22 are on the other side. That is, the conductors are arranged so that the common conductor 20 and the conductor 21 between them enclose the corresponding axial elongate groove 31, while the common conductor 20 and the conductor 22 between them enclose the corresponding axial elongate groove 32 between them.
  • Such an arrangement of the conductors 20, 21 and 22 in the transparent lamp tube 30 causes the conductors have the greatest distance from the outer edge 33 of the transparent lamp tube 30.
  • the two fairy lights 91, 92 can be inserted into the two axial elongate grooves 31, 32. Then, a positioning layer 34 is applied to the outer edge of the transparent lamp tube 30 with a minimum diameter, finally, this is covered by a transparent coating 35 with a minimum diameter.
  • 5a and 5b show the light installation of the present invention with three light strings 51, 52 and 53 contained therein.
  • a transparent lamp tube 300 On a transparent lamp tube 300, three axial elongated grooves 301, 302 and 303 are arranged, each spaced 120 degrees apart , The fairy lights 51, 52 and 53 are respectively disposed in their respective axial elongated grooves 301, 302 and 303.
  • a number of conductors 60, 61, 62, and 63 have been simultaneously arranged in the transparent lamp tube 300 during molding, as already described above, so that the conductors 61, 62 and 63 are arranged so that the common conductor 60 and the conductor 61 between them the corresponding axial elongated groove 301, the common conductor 60 and the conductor 62 between them the corresponding axial elongated groove 302 and the common conductor 60 and the conductor 63 between them the corresponding axial length 303.
  • the common conductor 60 is in This embodiment is disposed in the center of the transparent lamp tube 300.
  • the conductors 61, 62 and 63 are arranged so that each of them is between two axial elongated grooves.
  • Figs. 6, 6a and 6b show the light installation of the present invention having four fairy lights contained therein.
  • On the transparent lamp tube are in a corresponding number elongated axial grooves at a distance of 90 ° to each other to record their respective fairy lights.
  • a number of conductors 71, 72, 73 and 74 have been simultaneously arranged in the transparent lamp tube when forming, with the common conductor 70 in the center of the tube and the conductors 71, 72, 73 and 74 each between two axial elongated grooves.
  • each string of lights is located in a corresponding axial elongate groove, the manufacture is very simple, and since the conductors are kept away from the outer edge of the transparent lamp tube, a higher safety standard is met and the entire outer diameter of the light installation can - even when using a variety of Fairy lights in the transparent lamp tube - be effectively reduced, whereby the present invention obtains its industrial importance.
