  • Patent number: 6719439
    Abstract: A decorative lamp supporting multiple layered petals design is provided. The decorative lamp comes with a lamp bulb, a receptacle, an inner corolla shell and an outer corolla shell. The stacked corolla structure allows the inner corolla shell to be fitted behind the outer corolla shell, and possibly another corolla shell to be fitted in between the outer and inner corolla shells. The decorative lamp has a retaining apparatus to bind multiple corolla shells onto the receptacle, several locating ribs on the surface of the inner corolla shell to prevent dislocation of the corolla shells, and locating rings on the outer rim of the outer corolla shell to prevent falling out of the lamp from the installation ring. Consequently a decorative lamp with layered petals design can be assembled with a robust structure.

  • Patent number: 6452317
    Abstract: A decorative light with an LED as the light source has a socket, two protrusions integrally formed on the inner face of the socket, a base detachably inserted into the socket, an LED mounted on the base, two projections integrally formed on the base for two electrodes of the LED to extend therethrough respectively and two electric wires inserted into second end of the socket, wherein the distances between the end of the socket and each of the protrusions are different from each other, in addition the lengths of each of the projections are different from each other. So that, each electrode of the LED will touch each corresponding wire only in a specific orientation. This can keep the LED from being burned out due to the incorrect connection of the electrodes between the LED and the electric power, and decrease the cost of manufacturing the decorative light with the LED as the light source.
