ELECTRICAL CORD CONNECTORS, ADAPTERS, ADAPTABLE REPLACEMENT CONNECTORS, NON WIRED MALE FITTINGS, AND A CHRISTMAS LIGHT SOCKET CLIP.

摘要

The present invention relates to electrical cords and more specifically to electrical cord connectors for various uses, including holiday lighting or for replacing a damaged connector end. The connectors used for holiday lighting allow Christmas light strings to be mounted or installed in either direction, or with either cord end at the intended power source. One electrical assembly can include a cord set having a male connector and a female connector at opposing ends, with the male connector having a receiving port, for receiving a corresponding female connector of another cord set, and a power adapter. The adapter includes both corresponding connectors of the cord set, and a male plug that plugs into an electrical outlet, to power the electrical assembly. A second electrical assembly or light string, includes a cord set having ‘just’ female connectors at opposing ends and a linking male fitting with prongs, an a corresponding adapter. One of the female connectors includes a receiving port for receiving a corresponding female connector of another cord set, and the prongs of the linking male fitting inserts into and through the first receptacle and then into the second female receptacle of the aligned female connectors, and electrically linking them together. A corresponding adapter powers the electrical assembly with ‘just’ female connectors. The light strings can further include a light socket clip that is spring operated. Replacement connectors can also be provided to replace various damaged male or female electrical connectors.
