Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of suspensions for string lights and in particular a combinable suspension for string lights. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Currently, string lights are widely used in festive decorations, landscaping, and indoor and outdoor lighting due to their flexibility and decorative effect. Traditional methods for hanging string lights typically involve gluing, nailing, or tying them directly to surfaces such as walls, eaves, or tree trunks. However, this approach has several significant drawbacks: First, the installation process is cumbersome and can easily damage the surfaces of the objects being attached; second, the string lights tend to become tangled, which detracts from the aesthetics and poses a safety hazard; third, this method of attachment makes it difficult to create an organized, large-scale arrangement of the string lights, especially when covering larger areas such as roofs or ceilings.In such cases, assembly and disassembly are extremely impractical, and it is difficult to flexibly adapt the size and shape of the suspension to the specific local conditions.

[0003] Although several frames or grids for supporting or suspending lights are available on the market, most are rigidly constructed and cannot be easily extended or combined, or their connection mechanisms are complex and not very universal. This means that users have to fabricate custom suspensions in specific dimensions for installation surfaces of varying sizes and shapes, which is costly and inflexible.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a modular, easy-to-install and expandable suspension system for string lights to solve the aforementioned problems of the state of the art. CONTENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0005] The technical problem that the present utility model is intended to solve is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a combinable suspension for string lights.

[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present utility model is a combinable suspension for string lights, comprising a frame;

[0007] The frame contains several crossbeams and several longitudinal beams arranged evenly, with the crossbeams and longitudinal beams intersecting each other;

[0008] Several nut terminals are arranged evenly on two adjacent sides of the frame, and several plug-in terminals are arranged evenly on the other two sides of the frame, with two adjacent frames being connected by the interaction of nut terminals and plug-in terminals.

[0009] As a further development, the crossbeams and the longitudinal beams intersect vertically, with a string light clamp arranged at each intersection point of the crossbeam and longitudinal beam.

[0010] As a further development, a perforated mounting plate is arranged at some of the intersection points of crossbeams and longitudinal beams, whereby the frame is attached to other objects by means of bolts that are guided through the perforated mounting plate.

[0011] As a further development, a nut clamp is arranged on each of two adjacent sides of the frame and a plug-in clamp is arranged on each of two adjacent sides of the frame, so that the frame can be combined in all directions - front, back, left and right;

[0012] As a further measure, cable ducts are provided at the upper ends of the crossbeams and longitudinal beams.

[0013] The advantages of the present utility model compared to the prior art consist in particular of the following: 1. The frame features several crossbeams and longitudinal beams evenly spaced, which intersect to form the suspension system. This allows the suspension to be mounted in locations such as roofs or ceilings. The string lights can then be threaded between the crossbeams and longitudinal beams and attached to the suspension. This facilitates use and allows for better decorative design of ceilings or other surfaces. 2. Several nut terminals are evenly spaced on two adjacent sides of the frame, while several plug-in terminals are evenly spaced on the other two sides. Two adjacent frames can be connected using the combination of nut and plug-in terminals, allowing the frames to be combined according to specific usage requirements. This enables flexible adaptation of the suspension to surface and shape, simplifies handling, and allows for combinable configurations in all directions—front, back, left, and right—for improved form and design. 3. A string light clamp is provided at each intersection of crossbeams and longitudinal beams, securing the string lights and preventing slippage. Some intersections of crossbeams and longitudinal beams feature a mounting plate with holes, allowing the frame to be bolted to other objects, ensuring a simple and stable installation.

[0015] The following section explains in more detail the present utility model of a combinable suspension for string lights with reference to the figures.

[0016] With reference to the Fig. 1-7 includes a combinable suspension for string lights, a frame 1;

[0017] In frame 1 several crossbeams 2 are arranged evenly and in frame 1 several longitudinal beams 3 are arranged evenly, with the crossbeams 2 and longitudinal beams 3 intersecting each other.

[0018] Several nut terminals 4 are arranged evenly on two adjacent sides of the frame 1, and several plug-in terminals 5 are arranged evenly on the other two sides of the frame 1, wherein two adjacent frames 1 are connected by the interaction of nut terminals 4 and plug-in terminals 5;

[0019] To extend the suspension, simply align the plug-in terminal 5 of one frame 1 with the nut terminal 4 of another frame 1 and lock them into place, ensuring a secure connection. In this way, multiple base units of the frame can be combined indefinitely in the horizontal plane to form a large, continuous suspension.

[0020] The crossbeam 2 and the longitudinal beam 3 intersect perpendicularly, and at each perpendicular intersection point of the crossbeam 2 and the longitudinal beam 3 a light chain clamp 6 made of elastic plastic is provided;

[0021] The string light clamp 6 can be designed as a clamp-like structure with an opening that has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the user to easily insert and securely clamp the string light cable. In this way, the string lights are neatly fixed to each grid node.

[0022] At some vertical intersections of the crossbeams 2 and longitudinal beams 3, a mounting plate 7 is provided, in which a through hole is formed. During assembly, suitable fixing points can be selected depending on the local conditions. A bolt or self-tapping screw can be inserted through the hole of the mounting plate 7 to attach the frame 1 directly to a ceiling or wall made of wood, plasterboard, or metal.

[0023] The nut terminal 4 is arranged on two adjacent sides of the frame 1, and the plug terminal 5 is also provided on two adjacent sides of the frame 1, so that the frame 1 can be coupled to each other in all four directions - front, back, left and right.

[0024] A cable duct 8 is formed on the upper side of each of the crossbeams 2 and longitudinal beams 3;

[0025] When installing the light chains, the individual power or signal cables connecting them can be neatly laid in cable channel 8. The depth and width of cable channel 8 are sufficient to accommodate cables of common specifications, making them virtually invisible from above and significantly improving the visual appearance. Alternatively, the light chain can be routed directly through the crossbeams and longitudinal beams and suspended from the mounting brackets, further simplifying installation.

[0026] When this utility model is implemented, the user first calculates the required number of frame units based on the ceiling area to be decorated. These frame units are then connected using the nut terminals 4 and push-in terminals 5 to form a large grid that corresponds to the size of the ceiling. This assembled grid suspension system is then fixed to the ceiling using screws and several strategically selected mounting plates 7. Next, the prepared LED light strings are clamped one after the other into the light string terminals 6 at the respective grid nodes, according to the desired pattern, while the supply lines are neatly routed in the cable channel 8. After connecting to the power supply, a large-area ceiling decoration with neatly arranged cables and precisely positioned light points is created.

[0027] It is also possible to first combine the frame units into a desired shape and then attach the string lights to the suspension.
