Abstract:
A plug for a decorative light having a distal end comprising:a female connector adapted to be integrally formed on the distal end of the decorative light, with the female connector having a distal end, an annular flange extending from an outer periphery of the female connector and axially spaced from the distal end of the female connector, and a pair of keys formed on opposite sides of the outer periphery of the distal end of the female connector axially spaced from the annular flange; an annular seal received on the distal end of the female connector and abutting with the flange; a cover having a blind hole receiving the distal end of the female connector and defined to enclose the distal end of the decorative light, with the cover including a pair of L-shaped keyways formed on an inner face defining the blind hole and corresponding to the pair of keys; and a collar having a through hole for receiving the female connector and adapted to abut the flange opposite the annular seal, said collar further having an inner thread, whereby after the female connector is inserted into the blind hole with the keys in the keyways, rotation of the cover will secure the engagement between the cover and the decorative light to sandwich the annular seal between the flange and the cover such that when the decorative light is not in use the distal end of the decorative light is protected from damage.
