DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the present invention provides a shade assembly of projection lamp. The shade assembly of projection lamp according to the present invention comprises an insulating body 10, two fixing members 20, two conductive plates 30 and two resilient members 40. The insulating body 10 is made of plastic material and has two receiving spaces 11 therein and a baffle plate 12 is provided between the two receiving spaces 11, as shown in FIG.5, two separate the two receiving spaces 11. The insulating body 10 has two insertion holes 13 passing through the internal part of the receiving space 11 to outside. The receiving space 11 has an indent groove 14 on inner wall thereof.

[0016] The insulating body 10 has a projecting shaft 15 connected on outer wall thereof. By adjusting the projecting shaft 15, the angle of the shade assembly can be adjusted. The insulating body 10 has two locking grooves 16 on outer walls thereof and opposite to the projecting shaft 15. The two locking grooves 16 are connected to a connection member 50, which is resiliently connected to a lamp 60 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The two leads 61 of the lamp 60 are inserted into the two insertion holes 13 of the insulating body 10. The lamp 60 connected to the insulating body 10 through the connection member 50 is not limit of the present invention. Therefore, the connection way is not described in detail here.

[0017] The two fixing members 20 are made of coppers and have configurations corresponding to that of the receiving space 11 of the insulating body 10. The length of the fixing member 20 is greater than that of the receiving space 11.

[0018] The fixing member 20 has a receiving recess 21 for conductive plate and a receiving recess 22 for resilient member, at one end thereof. The receiving recess 21 for conductive plate is communicated with the receiving recess 22 for resilient member. The fixing member 20 has a connection hole 23 or an outer thread (not shown) at another end thereof, which is connected to a supportive member or a power unit (not shown), thus inputting power to the two fixing members 20. One end of the fixing member 20 is inserted into the receiving space 11 of the insulating body 10. One end of the resilient member 40 is locked into the indent groove 14 on inner wall of the receiving space 11. Another end of the fixing member 20 is exposed out of the receiving space 11 by a specific length.

[0019] The conductive plates 30 are also made of coppers and are of U-shaped body. The conductive plate 30 has a first lateral side 31 and a second lateral side 32. The bottom end of the first lateral side 31 is bent outward to form a slant guiding part 33. The two conductive plates 30 are arranged within the receiving recesses 21. The bottom ends of the conductive plates 30 are corresponding to the insertion holes 13. When the two leads 61 of the lamp 60 are inserted into the two insertion holes 13, the two leads 61 of the lamp 60 can be placed within the conductive plates 30 and clamped by the first lateral side 31 and the second lateral side 32. Therefore, the two leads 61 of the lamp 60 can be electrically connected to the conductive plates 30 and the fixing members 20. The electrical power can be sent to the two leads 61 of the lamp 60 through the conductive plates 30 and the fixing members 20.

[0020] In the present invention, the resilient member 40 is a cone-shaped spring. One end of the cone-shaped spring is fixed to the receiving recess 22 for resilient member and abuts to the outer wall of the second lateral side 32. Another end of the cone-shaped spring abuts to the indent groove 14 on inner wall of the receiving space 11 to prevent the fixing members 20 from being pulled out of, whereby the resilient member 40 is placed between the insulating body 10 and the conductive plates 30 and the clamping force of the conductive plates 30 can be increased. The resilient member 40 pushes the first lateral side 31 to firmly clamp the two leads 61 of the lamp 60 within the conductive plates 30.

[0021] The inventive shade assembly for projection lamp has simple structure and can be assembled by simply inserting one end of each fixing member 20 into the receiving space 11. Therefore, the inventive shade assembly for projection lamp does not need screws and nuts. Moreover, by clamping the two leads 61 of the lamp 60 with the conductive plates 30, the lamp 60 can be easily assembled.

[0022] Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have suggested in the foregoing description, and other will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
