  • Patent number: 10788193
    Abstract: A removable clamp for a light string is provided. The removable clamp includes a base with engagement members designed to engage a portion of a wire of the light string; a cap with a peripheral skirt and a set of friction members designed to engage with the engagement members of the base for engaging the portion of the wire; and a magnet embedded in the base of the removable case such that the magnet does not protrude outside the base. The removable clamp wraps around the portion of wire of the light string, and then attached via the magnet to a metal surface on the outside of a building.

  • Publication number: 20190368699
    Abstract: A roofing edge hanger for decorative lights is provided. The roofing edge hanger includes a substantially planar body adapted to lie flat against a roof, a support arm lying on a first plane that intersects a second plane at an angle, wherein the second plane is parallel to the body, wherein the support arm divides the body into a roof portion and a hook portion, wherein the support arm is attached to the body; and a plurality of hooks extending from the hook portion of the body, wherein the hooks are formed from a plurality of perforations of the body. The hanger is held in place between a roof and the shingles of the roof and provides a mounting surface and hooks for hanging up or mounting objects.

  • Patent number: 8128264
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light fixture assembly. In one embodiment, the assembly includes a light bulb socket with an opening at one end for accommodating C7/C9 light bulbs and at least one opening at the second end. The socket includes a conductor that places a light bulb into electrical contact with electrical wires inserted through the side of the socket. The assembly also includes a base attached to the second end of the socket. The base includes a wire clamp that fits through the opening in the second end of the socket and holds the electrical wires in contact with the conductor. Retaining clips on the base apply a retaining force against the socket to hold the base in place. A strong magnet is embedded in the base, thereby allowing the assembly to be mounted magnetically to metal surfaces.
