ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Christmas lamps play an important role in Christmas. Besides ornamental function, Christmas lamps add to the festive air in Christmas.
Referring to
FIGS. 13 and 14
, conventional Christmas lamps include leads and bulls. The bulls are connected together by the leads.
However, the conventional Christmas lamps have disadvantages as follows.
1. The bulls have monotonous shapes, and have only one function, i.e. giving out light.
2. Although the bulls are provided with various colors, the shapes of the bulls, both big-sized ones used outdoors and small-sized ones used indoors, have not been changed for many years.
3. The Christmas lamps are sometimes connected to nets of various shapes to become more attractive but the consumers no longer feel satisfied with this variety.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to provide a Christmas lamp which have various shapes and colors.
The Christmas lamp includes many lamp units. Each of the lamp units has an ornamental shell part and a bulb. The ornamental shell parts have various shapes, e.g. tree shapes, animal shapes, star shapes and spiral shell shapes. The bulbs are each received in a corresponding one of the ornamental shell parts with a lead passed through two end holes of the ornamental shell parts.
The lamp units are connected to a line or net for use.
When the bulbs give out light, the ornamental shell parts can reflect light in various ways, making the Christmas lamp look attractive.
The ornamental shell parts can be made to have two half parts; the half parts have an annular groove and an annular protrusion on edges respectively such that the half parts can be combined by fitting the annular protrusion into the annular groove. The ornamental parts can be made to have only one single main body; the main body has a receiving hole at least wider than the bulb such that the bulb can be passed through the receiving hole. A cap member is fitted to the receiving hole to close the receiving hole.
