Abstract
A decorative light has a hollow base, a hollow socket, a light emitting diode (LED), two connectors and two wires. The base has a cavity, a distal end with an opening and a proximal end with a through hole. The socket is mounted in the cavity in the base through the opening and has a closed bottom with two LED lead holes. The LED is mounted in the socket and has two leads extending through the LED lead holes of the socket, and each lead having a latch hook protruding from the lead, passing through the LED lead hole and abutting the closed bottom of the socket around the LED lead hole. The connectors make electrical contact respectively with the leads. The wires connect electrically respectively to the connectors. The decorative light is convenient to assemble and reduces production cost.
Claims17
A decorative light comprising:
- a base being hollow and having
- a cavity;
- a distal end having an opening being defined through the distal end and communicating with the cavity;
- a proximal end having a through hole being defined through the proximal end and communicating with the cavity;
- an inner wall adjacent to the through hole at the proximal end;
- and
- a sidewall;
- a socket being hollow, corresponding to the opening in the distal end of the base, being mounted in the cavity of the base through the opening and having
- a cavity;
- an open top being resilient, communicating with the cavity of the socket and having a tapered inner edge;
- a closed bottom having two LED lead holes being defined through the closed bottom;
- an inner surface being cylindrical and having an annular groove formed in the inner surface near the open top;
- and
- an LED lead seat being a rectangular parallelepiped shape, being formed on protruding coaxially from the closed bottom and having
- four longitudinal surfaces;
- and
- two seats formed respectively on two opposite longitudinal surfaces and corresponding respectively to the LED lead holes, and each seat having an inner surface;
- a light emitting diode (LED) being mounted the socket and having
- a bottom;
- a bottom flange being formed around and protruding radially from the bottom and having an outer edge being mounted in the annular groove;
- and
- two leads being mounted through and protruding longitudinally from the bottom, extending respectively through the LED lead holes, being mounted respectively against the inner surfaces of the seats, and each lead having a latch hook protruding from the lead, extending through the LED lead hole and abutting the closed bottom of the socket around the LED lead hole;
- two connectors being mounted respectively on the seats of the LED lead seat in the cavity of the base through the opening and electrically connecting respectively to the leads protruding from the LED in the cavity of the base, and each connector having
- an inner end;
- an outer end;
- a spade being formed on the inner end of the connector, being mounted against a corresponding seat of the LED lead seat, pressing against the lead from the LED in the seat to make electrical contact and corresponding to the seat;
- and
- a wire fastener being formed on the outer end of the connector;
- and
- two wires extending into the cavity of the base, electrically connecting respectively to the connectors and adapted for selectively connecting to a power source and providing electricity to the LEDs, and each wire having
- a copper wire connecting electrically to one of the connectors;
- and
- an insulated cover being formed around the copper wire.
