BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a decorative light assembly, and in particular to a decorative light assembly with a plurality of upright arranged light units.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Decorative light assemblies are widely used in holidays and festivals. As shown in FIG. 1 , it shows a front elevational view of the prior art decorative light assembly, which is suitable to be hanged or attached on a wall for decoration. The prior art decorative light assembly 10 mainly includes a frame 1 constructed in a first direction I and a plurality of light units 2 . The light units 2 are electrically connected by a pair of electrical wires, forming a decorative light string. Normally, the light units 2 are mounted on the frame 1 substantially in a direction same to the first direction I of the frame 1 . However, it is noted that the decorative light assembly of the prior art has disadvantages of visual disorderliness.

Thus, it is desirable to provide a decorative light assembly with better visual features.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a decorative light assembly with a number of light units mounted in a projecting direction perpendicular to the frame of the decorative light assemble, capable of presenting more visible features.

To achieve the above objects, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a decorative light assembly including a frame constructed in a first direction. A plurality of light units are arranged on the frame in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction of the frame. The frame includes a first extended wire and a second extended wire parallel to the first extended wire, therefore forming a long and narrow gap between the first extended wire and the second extended wire. The light mounting member further includes a plastic clipping ring mounted in the central through hole of the light mounting member, and then the light unit is clipped in the central through hole of the plastic clipping ring. Alternatively, the frame is constructed by an extended plate having a plurality of through hole arranged thereon, and the light units are mounted in the through holes of the extended plate.

Further, the decorative light assembly may be composed of a frame constructed in a first direction, and a plurality of light units electrically connected by a pair of electrical wires. Each of the light units is provided with at least a side clipper to clip the light units onto the frame in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction of the frame.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference to FIG. 2 , a decorative light assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention, generally designated with reference numeral 10 , is shown. The decorative light assembly 10 of the present invention includes a frame 1 constructed in a first direction I. A plurality of light units are arranged on the frame 1 in a second direction II which is perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly 10 , showing the light units 2 may be mounted on the frame 1 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the frame 1 is composed of a first extended wire 11 and a second extended wire 12 , constructed in a first direction I. The second extended wire 12 is parallel to the first extended wire 11 , therefore forming a long and narrow gap 13 between the first extended wire 11 and the second extended wire 12 . Each of the light units 2 is electrically connected by a pair of electrical wires 3 forming a decorative light string and then connected to an electric power source.

A plurality of light mounting members 4 are securely arranged in the gap 13 formed between the first extended wire 11 and the second extended wire 12 . Each of the light mounting members 4 is provided with a central through hole 41 .

Further, the present invention includes a number of plastic clipping rings 5 . Each of the plastic clipping rings 5 is provided with a central through hole 51 . The plastic clipping ring 5 is made of, for example, rubber material, and is adapted to be mounted in the central through hole 41 of the light mounting member 4 . So, the light unit 2 may be mounted onto the frame 1 by means of the plastic clipping ring 5 . Particularly, the light units 2 are arranged on the frame 1 in a second direction II which is perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly, showing the light units may be mounted on the frame in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. For explanation, the same reference numbers used in the previous drawing will be used to refer to the same or like parts. In this embodiment, the frame 1 a is in a form of extended plate 14 constructed in a first direction I. The extended plate 14 is provided with a number of through holes 15 arranged thereon.

Similar to the first embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3 , a number of plastic clipping rings 5 provided with a central through hole 51 may be mounted in the through hole 15 of the extended plate 14 . So, the light unit 2 may be mounted onto the frame 1 a by means of the plastic clipping ring 5 . Particularly, the light units 2 are arranged on the frame 1 a in a second direction II which is perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame 1 a.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly, showing the light units may be mounted on the frame in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the frame 1 c includes an extended wire 16 constructed in a first direction I.

A plurality of light units 2 electrically connected by a pair of electrical wires 3 forming a decorative light string. Each of the light units 2 is provided with a side clipper 21 to clip the light units 2 onto the frame 1 b in a second direction II perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame 1 b.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the decorative light assembly, showing the light units may be mounted on the frame in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the frame 1 c is composed of a first extended wire 17 and a second extended wire 18 , constructed in a first direction I. The second extended wire 18 is parallel to the first extended wire 17 , therefore forming a long and narrow gap 19 between the first extended wire 17 and the second extended wire 18 .

Each of the light units 2 is provided with a pair of side clippers 22 a and 22 b to clip the light units 2 onto the extended wires 17 and 18 in a second direction II perpendicular to the first direction I of the frame 1 c.
