Abstract

The present invention is to provide a device for holding and fastening a light-emitting member, comprising a fastening assembly including a first space for receiving and clamping an object; and a secureness assembly provided on the fastening assembly and having a second space for receiving and fastening a portion of the light-emitting member, enabling both the light-emitting member and the device to be easily carried after the light-emitting member being detaching from the secureness assembly and the fastening assembly being disengaged from an object.

Claims (32)

1. A device for holding and fastening a light-emitting member, comprising:

a fastening assembly including a first space for receiving and clamping a portion of an object; and

a secureness assembly provided on the fastening assembly spaced from the first space, the secureness assembly including a second space for receiving and fastening a portion of the light-emitting member;

wherein the fastening assembly further comprises:

a first curved plate including an intermediate member formed at either side;

a second curved plate including a mated intermediate member formed at either side;

an opening formed at one ends of the first and the second curved plates;

a hinge shaft provided between the first and the second curved plates, the hinge shaft being across both the intermediate members and the mated intermediate members so as to pivotably couple the first curved plate to the second curved plate; and

a third space formed between the hinge shaft and the opening and defined by the first and the second curved plates,

wherein the secureness assembly is formed on an outer surface of the first curved plate opposite the second curved plate.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a coil spring provided around the hinge shaft, the coil spring being adapted to open or close the opening by either pressing the other ends of the first and the second curved plates toward each other or not.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the secureness assembly further comprises:

a socket formed on the fastening assembly, the socket including an open top to expose the second space; and

a wing screw laterally driven through the socket from external such that either clockwise rotating the wing screw to extend into the second space will clamp the light-emitting member by a tip of the wing screw moving toward the light-emitting member in the second space and an inner surface of the socket, or counterclockwise rotating the wing screw will withdraw the wing screw from the second space.

4. The device of claim 3 , further comprising a moveable pad provided on the inner surface of the socket proximate the tip of the wing screw wherein responsive to turning the wing screw, the moveable pad together with the tip of the wing screw move toward a center of the second space.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the secureness assembly further comprises:

a receptacle formed on the fastening assembly, the receptacle including a plurality of spaced, peripheral latches extended upward to define the second space therein; and

a ring member put on an outer surface of the receptacle, the ring member including a plurality of spaced projections around its inner surface tightly urged against the latches.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the receptacle further comprises external threads formed therearound adjacent the fastening assembly, and the ring member further comprises internal threads formed around an inner surface, the internal threads being adapted to threadedly secure to the external threads.

7. A device for holding and fastening a light-emitting member, comprising:

a fastening assembly including a first space for receiving and clamping a portion of an object; and

a secureness assembly provided on the fastening assembly spaced from the first space, the secureness assembly including a second space for receiving and fastening a portion of the light-emitting member;

wherein the secureness assembly further comprises: a socket formed on the fastening assembly, the socket including an open top to expose the second space; and

a wing screw laterally driven through the socket from external such that either clockwise rotating the wing screw to extend into the second space will clamp the light-emitting member by a tip of the wing screw moving toward the light-emitting member in the second space and an inner surface of the socket, or counterclockwise rotating the wing screw will withdraw the wing screw from the second space.

8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising a moveable pad provided on the inner surface of the socket proximate the tip of the wing screw wherein responsive to turning the wing screw, the moveable pad together with the tip of the wing screw move toward a center of the second space.

9. A device for holding and fastening a light-emitting member, comprising:

a fastening assembly including a first space for receiving and clamping a portion of an object; and

a secureness assembly provided on the fastening assembly spaced from the first space, the secureness assembly including a second space for receiving and fastening a portion of the light-emitting member, and

wherein the secureness assembly further comprises:

a receptacle formed on the fastening assembly, the receptacle including a plurality of spaced, peripheral latches extended upward to define the second space therein; and

a ring member put on an outer surface of the receptacle, the ring member including a plurality of spaced projections around its inner surface tightly urged against the latches.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the receptacle further comprises external threads formed therearound adjacent the fastening assembly, and the ring member further comprises internal threads formed around an inner surface, the internal threads being adapted to threadedly secure to the external threads.
