Title: Improved structure foldable assembly-type lamp shade
Inventor: WU WEN-CHANG
IPC: F21V17/00
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: An improved structure foldable assembly-type lamp shade comprised of a top ring at the uppermost end of the lamp shade, a bottom ring of larger circumference than the top ring, and frame members propped between the top ring and the bottom ring. The bottom ring has fixing mounts consecutively disposed at the frame member locations that provide for the assembly and positioning of the frame members, with the fixing mounts at the support member installation locations having different type connection sections based on the respective type of fixing mount arrangement utilized. When packaged, since the frame members can be first folded down and whorled into a flat state such that the frame members and the top ring are stacked on the bottom ring, the lamp shade of the present invention occupies the smallest physical assembly area to facilitate ease of assembly and, furthermore, the resulting minimized storage area effectively reduces shipping costs.

Patent CA-2471539-A1 (CA)
Title: Surge protection terminal block with insulation-displacing terminal contacts
Inventor: BARBIER JACOBUS T JR
IPC: H04Q1/14
Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: A protector terminal contact, for use in surge protector terminal blocks in telecommunication systems, has a pin-receiving element for receiving a pin of a plug-in style surge protector module, plus a conductor-receiving element electrically connected to the pin-receiving element. An insulated electrical conductor can be connected to the conductor-receiving element without using conventional wire-wrap methods and without needing to strip the insulation from the conductor. This is accomplished by configuring the conductor-receiving element in the form of an insulation displacement contact, by providing a pair of extension arms on either side of a slot that is narrower than the width of the conductive core of the conductor. One or both of the extension arms has a cutting edge, such that when an insulated conductor is pressed transversely into the slot, the cutting edge or edges will displace the insulation surrounding the conductive core, thus urging the conductive core into electrical contact with the extension arms and establishing an electrical connection between the conductor and the pin-receiving element.
