Definitions
- the invention relates to a light string with a plurality of ⁇ light sources.
- Fairy lights as they can be attached to Christmas trees but also to other objects, such as house walls, doors or door frames or the like, for lighting or decoration, are known. Since in such fairy lights, the light sources are relatively large and are arranged so that they protrude significantly from the fairy lights, there is the risk of cable involvement and the ball formation during assembly or disassembly. If the fairy lights are to be reinserted into the packaging after use, this is virtually no longer possible since the intended insertion positions can no longer be achieved by the formation of the balls. A corresponding storage in the packaging is therefore relatively time-consuming or the fairy lights are simply inserted into the packaging in the entire ball produced. Moreover, creases and cable breakage may be caused by this the known lights through the cable entanglement, thereby substantially affecting the function ⁇ onslose the light chain.
- the entire fairy lights are relatively heavy and unwieldy due to the relatively large and protruding light sources.
- the assembly and disassembly is Therefore, relatively complex and the candle-like protruding from the fairy lights light sources often do not remain in the ent ⁇ speaking mounting position due to their size and weight, but tilt or detach themselves from the mounting position. The fairy lights then hang loose at this point in the room.
- a light string according to the invention comprises a plurality of light sources, which are preferably arranged at a distance from each other in the fairy lights.
- the light sources are integrated into the fairy lights and embedded in a carrier part of the fairy lights.
- This configuration makes it possible for the fairy lights to have substantially the same thickness or the same diameter over their entire length. Even at the locations where the light sources are arranged, the diam or water ⁇ the design of the fairy lights is not thicker or only slightly thicker than at the points where no light sources are arranged. Through thisRocbet ⁇ tete attachment of the light sources, the handling can be significantly improved. Cable entanglement during assembly or disassembly can be prevented.
- the fairy lights are particularly band-like and flexible and can thus be bent and deformed in many ways, to attach them to differently shaped and formed objects, such as a tree or a door frame or other.
- the light string preferably comprises a plurality of fastening elements.
- hooks or clips or plug-in tabs or the like may be provided for this purpose, which are connected to the fairy lights and arranged thereon.
- the light sources are surrounded by a tube-like carrier part.
- the light sources are thus arranged completely inside a smart ⁇ ches.
- a complete Ein ⁇ betten the light sources Damage, for example scratching or the like, can thereby be prevented.
- the tubular support member completely surrounds the light sources since ⁇ be particularly advantageous guaranteed by a protection against contamination.
- the tubular support member extends over the entire length of the fairy lights.
- this may be formed of a flexible translucent material.
- a very soft tube which allows the attachment of the fairy lights to a variety of objects with different and also relatively strong twists.
- a light source is embedded substantially flush with an outer side of the carrier part in the carrier part.
- the outer side of a light source is conslie ⁇ quietly in such an embodiment.
- the light emission can be improved.
- the essentially flush arrangement and embedding of the light source in the carrier part on the one hand also again a protection against damage can be ensured and on the other hand, a compact and space-minimal refinement are possible.
- the fairy lights preferably comprise an upper part and a lower part, which can be connected.
- the upper part of the light sources are arranged and in the lower part are Ka ⁇ belkanäle each arranged with at least one cable.
- the initially separately provided parts can then be formed with the respectively male components and then connected to each other in retrospect to complete the fairy lights.
- jamming or latching or the like may be provided.
- at least two, in particular three, paral lel to one another ⁇ extending cable channels are formed in the lower part. It can also be provided four cable channels, which then a control of red-green-blue (RGB control) color channels is possible.
- RGB control red-green-blue
- the cutting elements are preferably integ ⁇ riert, wherein each light source is contacted with two cutting elements electrically.
- the cutting ⁇ elements are arranged so that specific cables are cut in the Jardinka ⁇ channels when joining the upper part with the lower part and thereby electrical contact is ensured.
- the cutting elements are provided only for producing an electrical contact with the cables, but not arranged for the complete severing of a cable.
- cable separator are arranged in the upper part and each light source Techzugterwei ⁇ se is associated with a cable cutter.
- a cable separator is an element which, when connecting the upper part to the lower part, completely cuts through a cable arranged in a cable channel.
- the indivi ⁇ duelle arrangement of a cable separator allows a precise and specific separation of a cable.
- the cutting elements it is therefore preferably possible to cut one or more cables in a cable channel or in cable channels when the upper part is joined to the lower part, thereby making it possible to electrically connect a light source with a cable.
- the electrically insulating casing of the cable is virtually separated so far that electrical contact of the cutting element with the internal electrical guide element, for example a copper wire or the like, is ensured.
- a cutting element may be formed, for example, as a so-called cutting tongue and on the side facing a cable ⁇ have a V-shaped notch.
- a cable separator preferably comprises a cutting ⁇ part, which faces a cable.
- a sheath in particular a plastic sheath is provided, which is an element having the cutting part surrounds the cable separator.
- the light sources are preferably formed as light emitting diodes out ⁇ . This is particularly advantageous in an embodiment of the Lich ⁇ terkette, in which a top part and a bottom part ⁇ present, which must be joined together. Since this assembly is accompanied by mechanical shocks, and light-emitting diodes are insensitive to such influences, damage to the light sources during assembly can be avoided.
