  • Patent number: 6347965
    Abstract: An electrical connection mechanism used in a miniature light bulb string mainly comprises a block or plug that can be inserted into the lower portion of a bulb holder shell. The block or plug is provided with a U-shaped conductor plate that presses against two opposite conductive terminals when it is seated in the shell to form an electrical connection between the terminals. Thus when one of the light bulbs is in malfunction, electrical current in the miniature light bulb string still can be maintained.

  • Patent number: 6241552
    Abstract: A connecting structure type (III) of a decorative lighting net includes several electrical wires intercrossed and connected with a plurality of bulb units to become a complete net or a curtain-type decoration. A receiver having an inner circular groove is formed at a side of the bulb holder and an L-shape beam is formed at a side of the bulb connector. After assembly of the bulb holder, the wires, and the bulb connector, the receiver and the L-shape beam will fix the wires with the bulb unit securely and that obtains a perfect connection between the wire and the bulb unit.

  • Patent number: 6048077
    Abstract: The invention relates to a retainer mechanism used for holding a net-type array of miniature light bulbs. The retainer mechanism includes a C-shaped loop adaptable for coupling with a miniature light bulb socket. The C-shaped loop is provided with a symmetrical hook portion on two sides of the C-shaped loop. The hook portion has a bulged outer end that, in cooperation with the inner end, forms an entirely embracing structure around electrical wires that pass through the hook portion. Thus the retainer mechanism according to the invention can effectively seize electrical wires. Furthermore, the retainer can be individually made and so it is applicable to current miniature light bulb sockets without any changes on the socket structure.
