Abstract

A mounting carrier for a bulb has a fastener and a mounting unit, the fastener has an engaging portion and a holding ring, and the engaging portion has a slant protrusion. The mounting unit connects to the fastener and has a connecting portion having at least one blocking lump and a fastening hole, the engaging portion is held and limited by the blocking lump, and the fastening hole is fastened with the slant protrusion of the engaging portion. In use, the bulb is clamped by the holding ring, so that the bulb can be hung on a wall for illumination.

Claims

1. A mounting carrier for a bulb comprising:

a fastener having a connecting panel with two ends

an engaging portion being elongated, formed on one end of the connecting panel, and having

a slant protrusion formed on a bottom surface of the engaging portion, and a thickness of the slant protrusion decreasing gradually from an end to another end of the slant protrusion; and

a holding ring mounted on the other end of the connecting panel and having an opening; and

a mounting unit being an insert connected to the fastener and having

a connecting portion mounted on an end of the mounting unit and having

a blocking lump formed on the connecting portion and holding and limiting the engaging portion; and

a fastening hole formed on a top of the connecting portion and engaged with the slant protrusion of the engaging portion; and

a thrusting portion formed on a bottom side of the connecting portion of the insert;

wherein

the blocking lump is formed around the fastening hole; and

the engaging portion of the fastener is fastened with the connecting portion of the mounting unit and is covered and limited by the blocking lump of the mounting unit.

2. The mounting carrier for a bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thrusting portion is in a cone shape.

3. The mounting carrier for a bulb as claimed in claim 2, wherein the fastener has a fastening rib formed respectively on a front surface of the connecting panel and a front surface of the engaging portion.

4. A mounting carrier for a bulb comprising:

a fastener having

two ends; and

an engaging portion mounted on one of the ends of the fastener and having a slant protrusion formed on a bottom surface of the engaging portion; and

a holding ring mounted on the other end of the fastener; and

a mounting unit being a hook connected to the fastener and having

an elongated body;

a connecting portion mounted on an end of the mounting unit and having two blocking lumps respectively formed on two opposite edges of the connecting portion and holding and limiting the engaging portion; and

a fastening hole formed on a top of the connecting portion between the blocking lumps and engaged with the slant protrusion of the engaging portion; and

a hanging portion mounted pivotally on an end of the elongated body;

wherein the engaging portion of the fastener is fastened with the connecting portion of the mounting unit and is held by the blocking lumps of the mounting unit.

5. The mounting carrier for a bulb as claimed in claim 4, wherein

the fastener has a connecting panel;

the engaging portion of the fastener is elongated and is formed on an end of the connecting panel, wherein a thickness of the slant protrusion decreases gradually from an end to another end of the slant protrusion; and

the holding ring of the engaging portion of the fastener is mounted on another end of the connecting panel and has an opening.

6. The mounting carrier for a bulb as claimed in claim 5, wherein the fastener has a fastening rib formed respectively on a front surface of the connecting panel and a front surface of the engaging portion.
