Abstract
A push handle switch lampholder pushes a lower conductive plate to move like a see-saw by pushing a push handle to move back and forth and determines whether or not to pass a current to an upper conductive plate, so as to control the ON or Off of a light emitting element. In addition, a set of hooks is provided for connecting a power cable for an electric connection without the need of tying an UL knot to expedite the wire connection conveniently and securely. The invention can reduce the number of components and the volume while achieving the effects of lowering the manufacturing, storage and transportation costs, and improving the overall service life of the lampholder.
Claims5
A push handle switch lampholder, comprising:
- a cylindrical shell, formed by a conductive plate into a substantially cylindrical shape, and having a threaded mouth, and a containing space separately formed at the top and the bottom of the interior of the cylindrical shell, for screwing and connecting a light emitting element, such that a first electrode of the light emitting element is attached to the cylindrical shell for an electric conduction;
- an insulating plate, installed at the bottom of the cylindrical shell, and having a connecting groove for passing and embedding an upper conductive plate, and the top of the insulating plate being exposed from the top end of the upper conductive plate and extended into the containing space of the cylindrical shell, and contacted with a second electrode of the light emitting element for an electric conduction, and the other end of the upper conductive plate being extended to the bottom of the insulating plate;
- an insulating base, installed at the bottom of the insulating plate, and having a containing grove concavely formed at the top of the insulating plate and transversally penetrating through the top of the insulating plate, a set of plug slots formed on an external surface opposite to the containing groove for plugging and connecting a power cable;
- and a set of hooks disposed proximate to the corresponding plug slots respectively for connecting the power cable;
- a push handle, installed in the containing groove, and capable of performing a reciprocating push movement along the containing groove, and having a protruding portion protruded from the push handle;
- and
- a lower conductive plate, being substantially in a curved shape matched with the top edge of the containing groove, for being movably fixed at a position of the containing groove corresponding to the protruding portion;
- thereby, in the process of performing the reciprocating push movement by the push handle, the protruding portion of the push handle abuts a position proximate to an end of the lower conductive plate, such that an end of the upper conductive plate is moved in a direction towards the upper conductive plate and contacted with the upper conductive plate to electrically connect and light up the light emitting element, and when the protruding portion abuts a position proximate to the other end of the lower conductive plate, an end of the lower conductive plate is moved in a direction away from the upper conductive plate and separated from the upper conductive plate to electrically disconnect and turns off the light emitting element.
