  • Publication number: 20090267724
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a temperature control switch, comprising a switch casing, which contains a springy slice, where the springy slice is provided with a thermostatic bimetal strip on its bouncing end. The thermostatic bimetal strip is provided with an electric heating device, where the first end and second end of the device are respectively connected in series between a first control terminal and the thermostatic bimetal strip. The elevated end of the thermostatic bimetal strip links one end of an uplifted metal slice to form an incompletely fixed link point, while the other end of the uplifted metal slice features a swaying contact, which corresponds to the contact point that a second control terminal joins. The uplifted metal slice joins a springy element at its middle portion, where the springy element is fixed in the switch casing.

  • Patent number: 7530833
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an energy saving lamp holder, structurally comprising a body, a set of conducting spring leaves, a set of elastic articles, an anti-backspin guide plate and a positioning plate. When installing an energy saving bulb by inserting the conducting terminals of the bulb in the positioning grooves of the positioning plate for a twist, the anti-backspin guide plate is pressed to move inward and back soon. The anti-backspin guide plate and the contact plate of the conducting spring leaf jointly seize the conducting terminals and refrains the bulb from being back spinning. The energy saving lamp holder disables electric conduction before the completion of the installation of a bulb, which further ensures no possibility of careless electric shock.

  • Publication number: 20060221623
    Abstract: A lamp holder includes a body provided with a recessed room, a metal helical cylinder fitted in the recessed room for a lamp bulb to screw with. The body has a through hole vertically in the body, and an elastic conductive unit is positioned in the through hole. A central conductor is fixed at the bottom side of the body, located at one side of the through hole and connected with one terminal of electricity. The elastic conductive unit consists of a coil spring and a conductive rod fitted around by the coil spring. The conductive rod has its lower end normally separated from the central conductor by the elasticity of the coil spring. Unless a lamp bulb is screwed in the helical cylinder completely, it cannot push down enough the conductive rod to let electricity get through to light up the lamp bulb. Thus the safety of the lamp holder is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7033220
    Abstract: A compact fluorescent lampholder includes a cap, a shell, an electric board and a base. The cap and the shell are combined together by hooking, and the electric board is combined with the base by plural pins, and then the electric board assembled together with the base is inserted in a hollow space of the shell. A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is to be inserted in a groove in the base. Then wires are connected properly between the electric board and electric power so as to light up a CFL fitted in the base. The shell is easily separated from the cap to fall down a little owing to some spare preset length of the wires so it is convenient to replace a CFL or to repair the socket.
