Folding lamp rod and junction box structure for lamps

Abstract

A folding lamp rod and junction box structure for lamps comprised of a junction box and lamp rods hinged to the junction box. The junction box has a plurality of portals appropriately arrayed along the plane of its circumference and, furthermore, a pivot hole is formed in the top surface at the lateral edge of each portal in the junction box to provide for movably locating the lamp rods. Each lamp rod has a joint section at its proximal section that is hinged to the junction box and, furthermore, the joint section is coupled via the junction box the pivot hole. The lamp rod has a spring element situated at an appropriate area and, furthermore, the vertex portion of the spring element protrudes slightly to the circumferential edge. When the joint section is conjoined to the junction box, the spring element vertex portion engages the lateral edge of the junction box portal, thereby securing the lamp rod onto the junction box portal. As such, the lamp rod and junction box angle is appropriately adjustable into a parallel arrangement to thereby reduce the overall space occupied by the lamp rods and the junction box when they are shipped.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1) Field of the Invention [0002] The invention herein relates to lighting fixtures, specifically a folding lamp rod and junction box structure for lamps in which a junction box and the lamp rods are hinged together. Said lamp rod has a spring element situated at an appropriate area and, furthermore, the vertex portion of the spring element protrudes slightly to the circumferential edge. When the lamp rod joint section is conjoined to the junction box, said spring element vertex portion engages the lateral edge of the junction box portal, thereby securing the lamp rod onto the junction box portal. As such, the lamp rod and junction box angle can be appropriately adjusted into a parallel arrangement to thereby reduce the space occupied by the lamp rods and the junction box when they are shipped. [0003] 2) Description of the Prior Art [0004] Lamps now in the highest demand are models of reduced dimensions that have lower shipping costs and, furthermor...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a folding lamp rod and junction box structure for lamps that allows for easier shipping and assembly. The lamp rod and junction box are hinged together, allowing for adjustable angles between the light bulb sockets and the junction box. The lamp rod and junction box can be securely attached to each other using a spring element, ensuring safety during assembly and installation. The folding design reduces the space occupied by the lamp rods and junction box when shipped. The technical effects of this invention include improved shipping and assembly capabilities, reduced space occupancy, and improved safety standards."

Problems solved by technology

However, in order to prevent electrocution hazards, conventional products are typically delivered from the manufacturer with the light bulb sockets on the lamp rods pre-wired in advance, which significantly enlarges packaging dimensions and increases shipping costs.

Furthermore, during user assembly and installation, since the light bulb sockets and the junction box are already wired, separation is not possible.

As the light bulb sockets and the junction box are in a permanent arrangement such that the angle between the light bulb sockets and the junction box cannot be further adjusted, this also results in higher shipping expenditures.
