  • Patent number: 7004613
    Abstract: A display structure. The display structure has a substrate, a panel, a lamp disposed on the panel, a lead wire connected to the lamp, and an intermediate disposed between the lead wire and the substrate. The substrate has a first sliding portion and a first positioning portion. The intermediate has a clamping portion, a second sliding portion and a second positioning portion. When the lead wire is placed in the clamping portion, the intermediate is moved to an engaging position on the substrate by sliding the second sliding portion on the first sliding portion. Thus, the second positioning portion is engaged to the first positioning portion, and the intermediate is elastically deformed so that the lead wire is wedged by the clamping portion.

  • Patent number: 6749462
    Abstract: A display unit comprises a case, a panel, a lamp, an intermediate 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. 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.

  • Publication number: 20030211779
    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.

  • Publication number: 20020164902
    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).

  • Publication number: 20020085391
    Abstract: A display structure comprises a substrate formed with a slanted surface, a panel, a lamp connected with two lead wires, and an intermediate made of elastic material and used for clamping the lead wires on the substrate. When the intermediate slides on the substrate, the intermediate is compressed by the slanted surface of the substrate pressing thereon, and a wedging effect is generated between the substrate and the intermediate. The lead wires can be fixed by the compressed intermediate until the intermediate is fully disposed on the substrate. Even in instances of excessive or abrupt force being applied on the lead wires, the majority of the force is directly absorbed by the intermediate and transmitted to the substrate.
