Publication number: 20100046238Abstract: A kind of outer shell structure of a decoration lamp string mainly are two or more than two flowered shells linked together on a foundation, it is then jointed with a light bulb group which is sleeve-fit a lamp stand with a linking seat. The linking seat is internally connect-set with a light bulb. The said outer shell uses the foundation to be insert-connected with the linking seat and covers the light bulb to form an outer shell of light bulb with several flowered shell linking bodies such that the light of light bulb generates more light illustrating faces through this outer shell to let the light source generated by a single light bulk becomes more dazzling shining. Simultaneously, it is hard to be overheated due to the increasing space in covering light bulb, and its life of usage is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2008Publication date: February 25, 2010Inventor: Hsiu-Tsen Chang
