Abstract
This invention relates to a flexible decoration lamp tube, which can be formed into any shape freely, comprising a lamp string formed by a plurality of lighting elements connected in series by wires; and a transparent support body made by hollow tubular flexible insulator material, which is used to contain said lamp string; a decoration tape, which is wrapped around the tube wall of said support body to enhance its fineness; and outer cover body which is made by transparent tubular flexible insulator material to envelop said decoration tape and to fix the decoration tape between the outer cover body and the support body. This invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the flexible decoration lamp tube of this invention.
Claims20
A flexible decoration lamp tube, which can be formed into various shape freely, the lamp tube comprising:
- a lamp string, formed by a plurality of lighting elements connected in series by wires;
- a transparent support body, made of hollow tubular flexible insulator material to contain said lamp string;
- a decoration tape, wrapped around the outer tube wall of said support body;
- and
- an outer cover body, made of transparent tubular flexible insulator material to cover said decoration tape and to fix said decoration tape between said outer cover body and said support body.
A method for manufacturing a flexible tubular shape decoration lamp tube, the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting a plurality of lighting elements in series by wires so as to form a lamp string;
- extruding plastic material with said lamp string as an axle to form a stripe-like tubular flexible support body by an extrusion forming machine, so as to hold said lamp string within said support body;
- wrapping a decoration tape around the wall of said support body;
- and
- extruding by another extruding forming machine, another plastic material into an outer tubular-flexible cover body so as to cover and fix said decoration tape.
A flexible decoration lamp tube comprising:
- an elastically formed tubular transparent support body extending along an axis with a hollow passageway within said support body;
- a lamp string including a plurality of lighting elements inside said passageway, said plurality of lamps being connected by a connection means;
- a decoration tape wrapped around the outer surface of said support body;
- and
- an elastically formed outer tubular transparent cover body extending over said decoration tape and retaining said decoration tape between said cover body and said support body.
