  • Patent number: 5160200
    Abstract: An LED-based lamp has a hollow plastic cylindrical body with a closed end and an open end. A wedge-base extends from the closed end, and a pair of bores on opposite sides of the closed end through the closed end permit leads to pass from inside the cylindrical body to the outside of the base. A variety of different LED structures can be mounted within the hollow body to project light out the open end of the body.

  • Patent number: 5126929
    Abstract: An LED holder is provided with a main body with an opening and a lens cap for mounting over the opening. The lens cap has an outside wall which has a flare about its crest. The main body has an inside wall about its opening which converges toward the opening. The lens cap is held in place on the main body by forcing the flare past the inside wall to rest against a shelf which extends inwardly from the base of the inside wall. A decorative ring can be fastened to a rim which extends outward from the main body near the base of the inside wall.

  • Patent number: 5121311
    Abstract: An LED holder uses two pivotably connected portions to mount an upper and a lower LED on a printed circuit board. The first portion has a pair of receptacles for holding the bodies of the LEDs, and a pair of bores extending from the bottom of each receptacle. The second portion has a pair of bores for receiving the leads of the top LED when the second portion is in an open position with respect to the first portion. Pivoting the second portion toward the first portion bends the leads of the top LED between the bores, and brings a guide surface to bear on the leads of the bottom LED, bending the bottom LED leads. Further pivoting the second portion latches it into place against the first portion, and holds the bent leads in position for connecting to a printed circuit board.
