Abstract:
Employing capacitors as shunts in a decorative light string can prevent the circuit from being opened when a lamp burns out or becomes loose in the socket. But manually assembling such a light string is costly and the quality of the resulting string is not assured to be high. The present disclosure introduces a shunted light string, and a method of assembling that light string that is able to be automated to ensure a consistent quality level by reducing or eliminating human workmanship issues.

Claim (Index 1):
A light string comprising:\n a lamp socket; a capacitor comprising a body, a first wire lead and a second wire lead, the first and second wire leads bent to extend adjacent to the body; a lamp comprising a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact; a first electrical terminal disposed within the lamp socket and in contact with the first wire lead of the capacitor and the first electrical contact of the lamp; and a second electrical terminal disposed within the lamp socket and in contact with the second wire lead of the capacitor and the second electrical contact of the lamp.
