Abstract:
1. A light string comprising: a primary electrical wire; secondary electrical wires, each electrically connected to the primary electrical wire and having multiple light bulbs thereon; and multiple connection assemblies securely mounted on the primary electrical wire and each connection assembly having a base to securely receive therein the primary electrical wire and a corresponding one of the secondary electrical wires, a cap mounted on top of the base to sandwich the primary electrical wire and the corresponding one of the secondary electrical wire with the base and two contacts sandwiched between the base and the cap to electrically connect the primary electrical wire to the corresponding one of the secondary electrical wires wherein the base has a first connection member and the cap has a second connection member corresponding to the first connection member so that combination of the first connection member and the second connection member is able to securely mount the cap on top of the base so as to securely position the primary electrical wire and the corresponding secondary electrical wire between the cap and the base, and the first connection member including through holes evenly defined in peripheral edges of the base and cutouts, each evenly defined in a bottom face of the base to communicate with a corresponding one of the through holes, and the second connection member includes positioning legs extending downward from a bottom face of the cap and inserting into the through holes of the base and barbs, each formed on a free end of a corresponding one of the positioning legs to clamp a peripheral face of a corresponding one of the cutouts so as to securely position the primary electrical wire and the corresponding secondary electrical wire between the cap and the base.
