English Abstract



A lamp socket housing with fasteners which is to fix wires with proper
tenseness
when the lamp socket housing is employed to carry the set of lamp and base;
therefore,
by the combination of fasteners and wires, a light net is formed. And, lamp
sets may
stay in desired direction and steadier without any external supports.


Claims

Note: Claims are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.



What is Claimed is

1. A lamp socket housing with fasteners, which comprises:
a. a housing for carrying the set of lamp and base; and
b. two fasteners separately locating on the up edge of the housing;
wherein said fasteners is to fix wires with proper tenseness between socket
and
wires for forming a light net; also, enable lamp socket kept in desired
direction
and steadier without any external supports when the lamp socket housing is
employed.
2. The lamp socket housing of claim 1, wherein said two fasteners are combined
to be
a fastener with a couple of fixing hole.

CA 02290206 1999-11-19
Lamp Socket Housing with Fasteners
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to lamp socket housing, and more specifically to
S lamp socket with fasteners for fixing wires connecting between each lamp
socket
housing to form a light net.
Background of the Invention
Conventionally, lamps in a light net are really chaos when the light net is
hung
on. Because lamp sets in the light net are not hold by any supports, the lamp
sets
always stay in different direction due to the twist force of wires. When light
nets are
used to decorate in festive season, the looking which users desire to make
wills not
easy to form. The style of a light net in festive season is always same as
before year
after year.
The collecting of a conventional light net is not easy to keep because lots of
lamps and wires go through together. That always confuses users and scares
people
to use them for decorating next festive season.
Summary of the Invention
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a lamp socket
housing
with fasteners. The fasteners hold wires which go through a plurality of light
sets for
supplying power among lamp sets. A light net can be formed by the arrangement
between wires and fasteners.

CA 02290206 1999-11-19
The other object of the present invention is to provide a lamp socket housing
with fasteners which keep lamp stay in desired direction and steadier without
any
external supports. Therefore, light net may have good outlook, neat and tidy,
and
collecting may become more convenient than before.
The further object of the present invention is to provide a lamp socket
housing
with fasteners which are pivotally opened to the one side of fasteners.
Therefore, the
holding of wire becomes easy and simple.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become better understood
from the following description of the invention which refers to the
accompanying
drawings.

1 S Description of the Preferred Embodiments
Figs. lA and 1B is an embodiment of the present invention. The lamp socket
housing 1 has two fasteners 11 opposite installed on the edge of upside. The
fastener
11 has a half moon cover 111, which has one end connected to a side of the
fastener
11, for engaging with a clasp 112. The half moon cover 111 can be pivotally
opened
to one side of the fastener 11. Therefore, fastening becomes simple and easy
by
opening half moon cover 111. Wires 3 are firmly covered inside the fixing
holes 113
of fasteners 11 and easily unloaded by opening the fastener 11 (as shown in
Figs. 2A
and 2B).
Figs. 3A and 3B shows another embodiment of present invention with a fastener

which has a couple of fixing holes. A fastener 21, which has one end connected
to a
side of the fastener 21, is installed on one up edge of lamp socket housing 2.
And
half moon cover 211 may pivotally be opened to the one side of fastener 21.
Therefore, wires 3 may be firmly and simply covered inside the fixing holes
213 by
S the engagement of the half moon cover 211 and the clasp 212, and easily
unloaded by
opening the fastener 21 (as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B).
Figs. SA and SB shows another embodiment of present invention with a fastener
which has a couple of fixing holes. A fastener 21, which has one end connected
to a
side of the fastener 21, is installed on one up edge of lamp socket housing 2.
And
the half moon cover 211 may pivotally be opened to the one side of fastener
21.
Furthermore, the half moon cover 211 has a semicircle flange extending to the
fixing
holes.
Referring to Figs. 6A and 6B, lamp sets formed by the present invention. The
lamp housings 1 and 2 are used to accept the combination of a lamp base 4 and
a lamp
5.
Fig. 7 is a light net with the embodiment of present invention. By the
function
of the fastener 11 which firmly holes wires 3, lamp sets may avoid the twist
force of
wires 3, which go through the light net 4. Therefore, the light net 4 may stay
in good
looking due to the function of fastener 11. And, lamp socket housing 1 can
keep in
desired direction and steadier.
Fig. 8 is a light curtain formed by the present invention with a couple of
fixing
holes fastener. Due to the holding of the fastener 21 to wires 3, the lamp set
in lamp

socket 2 may head to the one direction. Therefore, the light curtain can be
kept
straight down to ground.
Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of
particularity,
it should be understood that the present disclosure has been made by the way
of the
preferred embodiment only and that numerous changes in the detailed
construction
and combination as well as arrangement of parts may be restored to without
departing
from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter set forth.
