## Abstract

An LED assembly includes a rail device, an LED carrier with multiple LEDs securely mounted on the LED carrier and a wire extended out of the LED carrier from providing electricity to the LEDs and a plug device provided to two distal ends of the LED carrier and sandwiched in the rail device. The plug device has a passage defined in one distal end thereof to allow the wire to extend out of the plug device and a positioning seat is sandwiched in the rail device and provided to two sides of the plug device and has a receiving space to respectively and securely accommodate therein sides of the plug device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An LED assembly consisting essentially of:
a rail device, wherein the rail device has two independent tracks each having an open end corresponding to a portion of an outline of the LED carrier, an internal structure of the open end of each of the two track is adapted to correspond to a partial outline of the LED carrier such that the LED carrier is able to be sandwiched between the two tracks;
an LED carrier with multiple LEDs securely mounted on the LED carrier and a wire extended out of the LED carrier for providing electricity to the LEDs;
a plug device abutted to two respective distal ends of the LED carrier and sandwiched in the rail device, the plug device having a passage defined in one distal end thereof to allow the wire to extend out of the plug device; and
a positioning seat sandwiched in the rail device and provided to two respective sides of the plug device and having a receiving space to respectively and securely accommodate therein sides of the plug device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The LED assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plug device has an outline perfectly matched with that of the LED carrier such that after the plug device is provided to the distal ends of the LED carrier, the plug device is able to mate with the LED carrier.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 2, wherein the positioning seat has a receiving space defined in one side thereof to accommodate one end of the plug device and a recess defined in a bottom face defining the receiving space to snugly yet securely receive therein one end of the plug device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 3, wherein the positioning seat has a wing extending out and having reinforced rib to reinforce strength of the wing, and an elongated hole defined therein and two holes oppositely defined in the wing with respect to the elongated hole.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 2, wherein the positioning seat has a receiving space defined in one side thereof to accommodate one end of the plug device, a recess defined in a bottom face defining the receiving space to snugly yet securely receive therein one end of the plug device and a through hole in communication with the passage to allow the wire to extend out of the positioning seat.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 5, wherein the positioning seat has a wing extending out and having reinforced rib to reinforce strength of the wing, and an elongated hole defined therein and two holes oppositely defined in the wing with respect to the elongated hole.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 2, wherein the positioning seat has a wing extending out and having reinforced rib to reinforce strength of the wing, and an elongated hole defined therein and two holes oppositely defined in the wing with respect to the elongated hole.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The LED assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein the plug device has an outline perfectly matched with that of the LED carrier such that after the plug device is provided to the distal ends of the LED carrier, the plug device is able to mate with the LED carrier, the positioning seat has two fixing holes respectively corresponding to and communicating with the positioning holes of the tracks of the rail device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning seat has a receiving space defined in one side thereof to accommodate one end of the plug device and a recess defined in a bottom face defining the receiving space to snugly yet securely receive therein one end of the plug device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 9, wherein the positioning seat has a wing extending out and having reinforced rib to reinforce strength of the wing, and an elongated hole defined therein and two holes oppositely defined in the wing with respect to the elongated hole.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The LED assembly as claimed in claim 10, wherein the plug device has an outline perfectly matched with that of the LED carrier such that after the plug device is provided to the distal ends of the LED carrier, the plug device is able to mate with the LED carrier, the positioning seat has two fixing holes respectively corresponding to and communicating with the positioning holes of the tracks of the rail device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 9, wherein the positioning seat has two fixing holes respectively corresponding to and communicating with the positioning holes of the tracks of the rail device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The LED assembly as claimed in claim 12, wherein the plug device has an outline perfectly matched with that of the LED carrier such that after the plug device is provided to the distal ends of the LED carrier, the plug device is able to mate with the LED carrier, the positioning seat has two fixing holes respectively corresponding to and communicating with the positioning holes of the tracks of the rail device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The LED carrier as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning seat has a receiving space defined in one side thereof to accommodate one end of the plug device, a recess defined in a bottom face defining the receiving space to snugly yet securely receive therein one end of the plug device and a through hole in communication with the passage to allow the wire to extend out of the positioning seat.
