Connector assembly for decorative lighting net

A connection assembly for a decorative lighting net employing intercrossed electrical wires to connect a plurality of bulb units (for complete net or curtain-type decorative effect, for instance) is provided. The connection assembly includes a bulb holder having an arched hook formed at a side thereof. The connection assembly also includes a bulb connector coupled to the bulb holder having a stick formed at a side thereof. The stick blocks wires retained within the arched hook from escape.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
 Conventional decorative lighting net, used popularly in this time, is
 comprised of several lighting strings with an electrical wire and a
 plurality of miniature bulb units, wherein the wires are intercrossed and
 connected with bulb holders. A connecting structure is provided to connect
 the electrical wire and the bulb unit together to become a net. The known
 connecting structure is simply an elastic hook mounted on the bulb holder
 to hook the wire. It can not provide enough connecting strength. The wire
 will be released from the hook of the bulb holder without difficulty when
 a sideward force occurs. So the net structure will be destroyed and the
 decorative effect is thus lost.
 In view of the problem, it is a primary object of the invention to provide
 a connecting structure of a decorative lighting net, which includes an
 arched hook formed on a side of a bulb holder and a stick formed on a bulb
 connector for effecting better connecting strength and overcome the
 drawbacks of the prior art.
 Now the features and advantages of the invention will be described in
 detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
 Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention is to provide an
 improvement on a connecting structure of a decorative lighting net. It can
 be seen that both sides of the bulb holder (1) are provided with a
 respective arched hook (11). Both sides of the bulb connector (2) are
 provided with a respective stick (21). When the connector (2) is received
 in the bulb holder (1), the stick (21) is just placed at an opening
 segment from free end of the arched hook (11) to the fringe of the bulb
 holder (1).
 In use, the electrical wire (3) is forced in the arched hook (11), as shown
 in FIGS. 3 and 4, and then the bulb connector (2) is received in the bulb
 holder (1), as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. After this connection, the
 electrical wire (3) will be obstructed by the stick (21) and can never be
 separated from the hook (11). It can be understood that the connection of
 the electrical wires will be strong enough to connect the wires and the
 bulb units to become a decorative lighting net, as shown in FIG. 7, to
 show a perfect lighting effect.
 The arched hook accompanying with the stick can obviously provide an
 effective force for connecting with the wires to assemble a decorative
 net. In FIG. 8, it depicts only a connecting structure is provided for use
 as a curtain-type decorative lighting string. This embodiment can also
 obtain a same purpose for utility.
 In summary, the present invention provides a decorative lighting net with
 an invented structure and providing a better utility. It has superiority
 over prior art net structures obviously and should be allowed for patent.
