  • a large number of lamp chains are woven into the networked lamp section, one or more of the lamp chains being one Main lamp chain for operating and checking the icicle section is or are proposed.
  • the invention is based on the finding that a mesh fabric light set consists of a A large number of lamp chains can be formed, at the lower end of which there is one Variety of attached strips of different lengths are located in Are separated from each other. Versions in the upper areas of the network have conductors attached to them, and a mesh light set is thus formed.
  • the Sockets at the bottom of the network can be used for the remaining length of the There are lamp chains hanging from the network and as an icicle section can be used or are designed.
  • the lamp chains are manufactured in different lengths, and at The upper sections are interwoven above a predetermined one Contour intertwined into a network, while the lower sections with leave different lengths and be used as a single spigot section.
  • the attachments of the entire light set which is formed from a variety of lamp chains is part of the lamp chain or can be from a separate Lamp chain consist, which is woven into the mesh fabric light set.
  • FIG. 1 shows, when the entire decorative light set of the present invention is molded, a mesh light set 10 having a height N and a lower expanded portion of the mesh having a height I, which is an icicle portion 20.
  • a central stripe 21 of the icicle portion 20 occupies the greatest appended length, and the lengths of the other stripes on either side of the central stripe 21 are gradually reduced outward, whereby the lower portion of the decorative light set in the shape of a " V " is trained.
  • these lengths can be chosen purely statistically in order to form single-pin sections of different designs.
  • the lengths of the attached strips of the icicle portion 20 can be gradually changed to the side so that a lower portion of the decorative light set is formed in the shape of an inverted "V"
  • the mesh fabric light set 10 mentioned above has light bulb lamps 11 in sockets 12, which are arranged at intersections of the network chains.
  • a lamp chain 100 is shown, the above-mentioned light bulb lamps 11, 22 in a pair of conductors, the pair of conductors in several Sections of different lengths each with curvature sections 101 to 105 is divided.
  • a first Curvature section 101 is a first Curvature section 101, a second curvature section 102, a third Curvature section 103, a fourth curvature section 104 and fifth Curvature section 105 is provided, the lengths of which are gradually towards of the central curvature section 105 in FIG. 2 (median strip 21 in FIG. 1) longer become.
  • the curvature sections 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105 each close two adjacent conductor sections.
  • the first closes Curvature section 101, the first conductor section 101A and the second Conductor portion 101B.
  • Each conductor section 101A, 101B comprises a plurality of Incandescent lamps 11, 22.
  • the incandescent lamps 11, 12 on each other adjacent conductor sections 101A, 101B are in an alternating manner arranged relative to each other. So the first conductor portion 101A has one Bulb lamp 11A and a bulb lamp 11B while the second Conductor portion 101B has a bulb lamp 11C which is in one position is arranged between the bulb lamps 11A and 11B.
  • the Bulb lamps 11, 11A, 11B, 11C, 22 on the conductor sections 101A, 101B arranged alternately, both in the area of the mesh fabric light set 10 as well as the icicle section 20.
  • the lamp chains of the present invention are cross-linked Lamp section 10 having a predetermined height N and an icicle section 20 of height I molded underneath. If one takes a contour line H shown in FIG. 2 as For example, the area above the contour line H is the networked lamp section N, while the area below is the single-pin portion I.
