1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a mounting carrier, especially a mounting carrier for a bulb that can be mounted on various terrains.
2. Description of the Prior Arts
Lamps have been developed for a long time with multiple application patterns in daily life, such as street lamps that illuminate on a large area, vehicle lamps that illuminate to the long distance by concentrating the light source, advertisement lamps with colorful illumination and indoor lamps that illuminate the space in a building.
The indoor lamps are always shaped as a light tube or a bulb. The light tube is mounted mostly in offices due to the high illumination, but the light tube needs to be installed with a lamp holder. Thus, the light tube is difficult to disassemble and occupies much of the interior space of the building. The conventional bulb has a connecting base, a luminous module and a transparent housing. The connecting base is made of conductive materials and the luminous module is connected electrically with the connecting base. The transparent housing is mounted on a top side of the connecting base and covers the luminous module. The bulb with tiny volume is used mostly in households because of ease of installation and disassembly. However, the connecting base of the bulb needs to be connected with a power socket located on the indoor wall, so the application of bulb is limited.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a mounting carrier for a bulb to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a mounting carrier for a bulb for expanding the applications of the bulb.
The mounting carrier for a bulb comprises a fastener and a mounting unit, the fastener has an engaging portion and a holding ring, the engaging portion is mounted on one end of the fastener and has a slant protrusion formed on the bottom side of the engaging portion, and the holding ring is mounted on the other end of the fastener. The mounting unit connects to the fastener and has a connecting portion mounted on one end of the mounting unit, the connecting portion has at least one blocking lump and a fastening hole, each one of the at least one blocking lump is formed on the connecting portion, the engaging portion is held and limited by the blocking lump, and the fastening hole is formed on a top of the connecting portion and fastened with the slant protrusion of the engaging portion.
The holding ring of the fastener is used for holding a conventional bulb, and then connecting the engaging portion with the connecting portion of the mounting unit. The mounting unit can be a hook, so the bulb can be hung on a wall and supplied with electricity via a wire. The advantages of the present invention include ease of mounting and disassembly and expansion of the applications of the bulb.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

With reference to
As a better embodiment, the engaging portion 12 of the fastener 10 has multiple shapes of being a clip clamped on two surfaces of a desk, a hanger hung on a wall or a fixture nailed to a surface.
With reference to
With reference to
The slant protrusion 121 of the engaging portion 12 is designed with an oblique angle for engaging the fastening hole 222, 212A. When installing the engaging portion 12, at first mounting the thin side of the slant protrusion 121 in a space of the connecting portion 22 or the thrusting portion 22A, then buckling the thick side of the slant protrusion 121 into the fastening hole 222, 212A.
With reference to
When connected to the bulb 30, the mounting carrier of the present invention can be applied to different terrains with ease of mounting and disassembly, thereby expanding the applications of the bulb 30.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
