Patent ID: 7222987

Claim:
A connector for connecting light strings comprising: a female socket forming a cannular shape having multiple terminal receivers on an internal wall for receiving electric terminals respectively; wherein an aperture is formed on a bottom for paired light-string conducting wires or control lines to extend through the aperture; a male socket forming a cylindrical shape with an end forming a cylindrical plug part; wherein an outside diameter of the plug part matches an inside diameter of the female socket to plug with the female socket; wherein multiple axial holes are defined on the male socket for the paired light-string conducting wires or control lines to extend through the axial holes; wherein multiple conductive pieces extend through the axial holes respectively, and an end of each conductive piece bends to a surface of the plug part, while the other end is connected to the conducting wires or the control lines inside the male socket; wherein the conductive pieces correspond to the electric terminals on the internal wall of the female socket; and a joint nut mounted outside the male socket and reciprocally joining with the female socket for confining the male socket located between the joint nut and the female socket, so that the male/female sockets will not separate unintentionally.
