Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a conductive connecting structure of a pipe-type lamp, which mainly includes a receiver provided at the end of the electrical wire in the pipe-type lamp for conductive connecting with the pin easily. It also provides a clip to engage with the conductive wire of the bulb firmly and conveniently and it is possible to control each bulb being positioned at a same interval for a perfect lighting decorative effect.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 143 words
A pipe-type lamp comprising: a transparent pipe housing having first and second end portions and an intermediate portion extending therebetween; at least one electrical wire extending through said intermediate portion of said transparent pipe housing; a plurality of series coupled bulbs disposed within said intermediate portion of said transparent pipe housing and coupled to said electrical wire, adjacent ones of said bulbs being coupled one to the other by the coupling of conductive wires leading respectively therefrom; a plurality of transparent rings each disposed coaxially about respective ones of said bulbs to strap thereagainst at least one said conductive wire leading therefrom; and, at least one receiver disposed at each of said first and second end portions of said transparent pipe housing, each said receiver being coupled to said electrical wire and being operable to receive an external conductive member in detachable manner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 143 words
A pipe-type lamp comprising: a transparent pipe housing having first and second end portions and an intermediate portion extending therebetween; at least one electrical wire extending through said intermediate portion of said transparent pipe housing; a plurality of series coupled bulbs disposed within said intermediate portion of said transparent pipe housing and coupled to said electrical wire, adjacent ones of said bulbs being coupled one to the other by the coupling of conductive wires leading respectively therefrom; a plurality of transparent rings each disposed coaxially about respective ones of said bulbs to strap thereagainst at least one said conductive wire leading therefrom; and, at least one receiver disposed at each of said first and second end portions of said transparent pipe housing, each said receiver being coupled to said electrical wire and being operable to receive an external conductive member in detachable manner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
The pipe-type lamp as recited in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of clips each connecting one with the other said conductive wires respectively leading from adjacent ones of said bulbs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 143 words
A pipe-type lamp comprising: an transparent pipe housing having first and second end portions and an intermediate portion extending therebetween; a series coupled set of a plurality of bulbs disposed within said intermediate portion of said transparent pipe housing, adjacent ones of said bulbs being coupled one to the other by the coupling of conductive wires leading respectively therefrom; a plurality of clips each connecting one with the other said conductive wires respectively leading from adjacent ones of said bulbs; a plurality of transparent rings each disposed coaxially about one said bulb to strap thereagainst at least one said conductive wire leading therefrom; and, at least one receiver disposed at each of said first and second end portions of said transparent pipe housing for detachably receiving an external conductive member, each said receiver being electrically coupled to said series coupled set of bulbs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 143 words
A pipe-type lamp comprising: an transparent pipe housing having first and second end portions and an intermediate portion extending therebetween; a series coupled set of a plurality of bulbs disposed within said intermediate portion of said transparent pipe housing, adjacent ones of said bulbs being coupled one to the other by the coupling of conductive wires leading respectively therefrom; a plurality of clips each connecting one with the other said conductive wires respectively leading from adjacent ones of said bulbs; a plurality of transparent rings each disposed coaxially about one said bulb to strap thereagainst at least one said conductive wire leading therefrom; and, at least one receiver disposed at each of said first and second end portions of said transparent pipe housing for detachably receiving an external conductive member, each said receiver being electrically coupled to said series coupled set of bulbs.
