Patent ID: 6860007

Claim:
A method of producing an LED rope light, comprising the steps of: preparing a plurality of metal wires having two conductive plates connected to two ends thereof, and a plurality of open-topped light seats defining a recess therein and being provided at two transverse ends with two opposite and symmetrical notches; assembling said metal wires to said light seats, so that each said light seat has two said metal wires separately extended through said two notches on said light seat with one said conductive plate from each said metal wire fitly located in said recess defined in said light seat; said two conductive plates located in the same one said recess being separated from each other; firmly attaching an LED chip to one of said two conductive plates in said recess of each said light seat by means of a bonding agent, and then connecting a metal conductor at positive and negative electrodes thereof to said LED chip and the other said conductive plate, respectively, so that said a plurality of light seats are electrically connected at a positive electrode of a first one to a negative electrode of a next one to provide a light string; separately positioning said light seats in each said light string in forming molds and sending said forming molds into an encapsulating compound injector for encapsulation, sending said forming molds with said light seats and injected encapsulating compound into a drying oven, allowing said encapsulating compound to set and form a mask over each said LED chip, so that an LED light string is formed; preparing a power cord holder that is provided in two sidewall portions with two separated power cords having different polarities for connecting to positive and negative electrodes at two outmost ends of said LED light string formed from said light seats; and positioning said power cord holder along with said LED light string implanted therein into an injection-molding machine, so that said power cord holder with said implanted LED light string is quickly enclosed in a transparent outer tube drawn from said injection-molding machine to form an LED rope light, and connecting a connector adapted to connect to a power source to an end of said LED rope light.
