Abstract: A light bulb with dual connector comprising a connector assembly for lamps/bulbs rotatably connected to the lamp body to provide alternative connective means for engaging different types of lamp sockets. The connector is integrally assembled with respect to the lamp such that the electrical connection necessary to illuminate the lamp is operative at all times. The connector is defined by an elongated body having a spiral/screw-threaded connector (spiral installation head) at one end and a pin-type (pressed installation head) at its opposite. Dependent upon the type of socket/holder available (screw threaded or pin type), the head most suited for a particular holder can be rotated to an operative position to facilitate installation of the inventive lamp-connector combination into the socket/holder.

Abstract: A lamp apparatus for a liquid crystal display that is capable of preventing a wire breakage of the lamp apparatus, a lamp causes a discharge by a voltage applied from a power terminal to generate light. A wire is supplied with the voltage. A connector electrically connects the power terminal of the lamp to the wire using a pressing. The power terminal of the lamp and the wire electrically connected to each other and the connector are integrated.

Abstract: An electrical connector for wiring is disclosed that can be used outdoors such as on a bicycle. The electrical connector is electrically coupled to one end of an electrical cord. The electrical connector basically has a terminal housing, at least one terminal pin, an inner casing, and an outer casing. The terminal housing has an insulated body with a first end, a second end and at least one terminal bore longitudinally extending between the first and second ends. Preferably, the terminal housing has a plurality of terminal bores with one of the terminal pins being retained within each one of the terminal bores of the terminal housing. Each terminal bore has a first bore section with a cross-section formed by an intersection of a rectangle and a circle.

Abstract: A method for producing a display unit, which comprises a case, a panel, a lamp, an intermediate with a positioning portion and a lead wire. The lamp is placed next to the panel, and the lead wire is electrically connected to the lamp to form a conjunctive portion. The conjunctive portion is placed in a mold and integrally covered with the intermediate. The positioning portion of the intermediate is placed next to and abutted against the case while the lamp connected with the lead wires is together disposed on the case. When the lead wire is pulled by an abnormal or abrupt force, the majority of the force can be absorbed by the intermediate pressed on the case, and the lead wire can remain fixed to the lamp.

Abstract: A display unit (2) comprises a case (20), a panel (21), a lamp (22), an intermediate (23) and a lead wire (24). The lamp (22) is placed next to the panel (21), and the lead wire (24) is electrically connected to the lamp (22) to form a conjunctive portion. The conjunctive portion is placed in a mold (3) and integrally covered with the intermediate (23). When the lead wire (24) is pulled by an abnormal or abrupt force, the majority of the force can be absorbed by the intermediate (23) pressed on the case (20), and the lead wire (24) can remain fixed to the lamp (22).

Abstract: A circuit molded structure in which a crack is prevented from developing when a secondary molded member is integrally molded on a primary molded member having bus bars. The circuit molded structure includes the primary molded member (40) having a plurality of bus bars (42) insert-molded therein, and the secondary molded member (30) formed integrally on the primary molded member (40) by secondarily molding a resin on those portions of the primary molded member (40) other than terminal portions of the bus bars (42), the plurality of bus bars (42) forming internal circuits. Bent portions (45) of the bus bars (42) are exposed, and the secondary molding is effected with the exposed bent portions (45) covered with a resin spacer (47). As a result of the provision of the resin spacer (47), the resin will not flow to the bent portions, and the thickness becomes uniform, and any crack due to expansion and shrinkage will not occur.

Abstract: A flexible lighting strip for producing a chasing light effect comprising:an insulated three conductor wireLight Emitting Diodes mounted by the memory of the wire insulation and oriented in such a manner that a four channel chase effect may be achieved with the use of only three conductors.The system is of indefinite length and may be field cut or manufactured in finite length modules.The strip may be surface mounted or installed in a suitable enclosure.

Abstract: The lamp has a lamp cap (10) with a metal shell (20), in which an insulator body (30) with a circumferential outer surface (31) between a first and a second end face (32, 33) is locked. Recesses (34) occur at the outer surface (31) at a cross-section (II--II). Between these recesses (34) the outer surface (31) has flattened portions (35), which enable the metal shell (20) to be deformed when the insulator body (30) and the shell (20) are assembled together, and to widen temporarily near the recesses (34). As a result projections (23) in the metal shell (20) can be depressed more deeply than in the case of an outer surface (31) without flattened portions (35). Consequently, the projections (23) press clampingly in the recesses (34) of the outer surface (31), when the metal shell (20) is released, thereby tightly securing the insulator body (30) in the metal shell (20 ).

Abstract: A sub-miniature lamp in which a lamp body having a filament and an envelope is covered with a soft silicone rubber cap of a predetermined color having an opening at one end to a predetermined length of lead wires extending from the lamp body. A closure member is fitted to the opening of the envelope to seal the opening. The colored silicone rubber cap covers the envelope of the lamp body and is extended to a predetermined length of the lead wires, with the opened end of the cap fitted with an adhesive agent or a disc pad.

Abstract: For converting a lamp with a screw-type base into a lamp with a bi-pin base, there is provided a cup-shaped adapter of electrical insulating material comprising a tubular body containing a bore that has internal threads threadedly receiving the external threads on the usual metal shell of the screw-type base. The adapter further comprises an end wall extending across the bore at one end of the tubular body and carrying two conductive pins extending through the end wall in laterally-spaced relation. First conductor within the adapter connected to one pin has a free end that engages the usual coniform end of the metal shell when the base is threaded into said bore, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the metal shell and said one pin. Second conductor connected to the other pin establishes an electrical connection between the usual eyelet of the base and the other pin when the base is threaded into said bore.

Abstract: A molded electrical lamp socket includes threaded, insulating portions on the inner wall of the socket to engage the lamp. The side electrode providing electrical contact for the lamp is desirably set deeply within the socket, to reduce the danger of accidental finger contact with an electrically conducting lamp. Where the side electrode is of the edge-on type, the insulating threads center the lamp in the socket and reduce the incidence of shaving and jamming of the lamp.
