Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0065275A1] The invention relates to a safety device for miniature decorative light bulbs. Said device comprises a synthetic transparent sleeve which envelops the light bulb (1) and the end of the electric power supply cable connector. Said sleeve is moulded directly onto the light bulb and the cable or is formed from a heat-shrinkable tubular element having a given length, whereby said sleeve can protrude in front of the bulb and prevent access to live parts, when the former is broken, and envelops a sufficient amount of the length of the power supply cable to ensure that the entire unit is assembled in a solid manner. The invention can be used with strings of electric lights or luminous curtains which are used for temporary or permanent, indoor or outdoor, decorative purposes such as those traditionally used for celebrations or other events.
