  • Patent number: 8053696
    Abstract: An electric connector switch for connecting lighting fixtures to a power cable is disclosed to include an electrically insulative housing, a connector body mounted inside the housing to hold a grounding unit and a conducting unit, and a switching member for controlling on/off status between the conducting unit and the power cable. The conducting unit has two fixed electrodes respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the power cable, and a movable electrode, which has one end constantly kept in contact with one fixed electrode and the other end movable by the switching member between the on position to contact the other fixed electrode and the off position to be disconnected from the other fixed electrode.

  • Publication number: 20110141750
    Abstract: A track lighting fixture comprising a power connector, an adjustable holder shell assembly connected to the power connector to hold a lamp. The adjustable holder shell includes an outer shade, a hollow rotating member, a rotary cap capped on the rotating member and coupled to the rear side of the outer shade for rotating the rotating member, and a sliding member mounted in the hollow rotating member and holding the lamp on the inside and a first guide rod extending inserted into an axial guide groove in the outer shade and a second guide rod inserted through a front notch of the hollow rotating member and movable along a spiral groove around the periphery of the hollow rotating member for causing axial movement of the sliding member and the lamp relative to the outer shade upon rotation of the rotating member by the rotary cap.

  • Patent number: 7141749
    Abstract: A socket switch for a light bulb comprises a shell, a main body, a grounding unit, a switch unit, an electric conduction unit, wherein a holding chamber is formed inside the shell. The shell has two coupling holes formed thereon. The grounding unit, the switch unit, and the electric conduction unit are connected a surface of the main body, and this surface of the main body is screwed onto the shell via the coupling holes and located inside the holding chamber. The switch unit is designed for electrically connecting an electrode of a power supply, which is connected to the electric conduction unit, with an electrode of the light bulb for lighting up this light bulb. As a result, the purpose of saving energy can be achieved by controlling electric conduction between the power supply and the light bulb.
