Detachable christmas ornamental ball

Abstract

A detachable Christmas ornamental ball includes a light penetrable spherical shell having an opening, and a cap-like top cover detachably fastened to the opening of the spherical shell to hold at least one lamp socket and a lamp bulb on each lamp socket in the spherical shell, the top cover having a peripheral wall defining a bottom open chamber, two springy hook plates formed integral with the peripheral wall at two opposite sides and respectively hooked on the periphery of the opening of the spherical shell to secure the top cover to the spherical shell, a plurality of splits cut through the peripheral wall at two opposite lateral sides of each of the springy hook plates, and two springy oblique retaining plates suspended in the bottom open chamber and adapted to hold at least one lamp socket in the spherical shell. Squeezing the springy hook plates of the top cover inwards with the fingers enables the top cover with the attached at least one lamp socket to be removed from the spherical shell for a maintenance work.
