Abstract

A LED filament light has a bulb shell, a base portion, a filament module, a top spreading structure, a bottom spreading structure, a lamp cap and a driving piece. The filament module is placed in the containing space formed by the bulb shell and base portion. The filament module is composed of a plurality of filaments. The top of the plurality of filaments connects to the top spreading structure. The bottom spreading structure extends from the base portion, the bottom of the plurality of filaments connect to the bottom spreading structure. The top spreading structure is supported only by the plurality of filaments. The driving piece is placed in the lamp cap to provide electric power required for the plurality of filaments.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

a thermal conductivity gas, entering the containing space from the air inlet and being maintained in the containing space after the air inlet being closed;
a filament module placed in the containing space, comprising a plurality of filaments, wherein there are electrical connectors at the top and the bottom of each filament, each filament containing a plurality of LED chips, a top of each filament being electrically connected to another top of at least another filament to form at least one set of filaments connected in series;
a top spreading structure, wherein the top of the plurality of filaments are fixed to the top spreading structure; and
a bottom spreading structure fixed on the base portion, wherein the bottom of the plurality of filaments are fixed to the bottom spreading structure, wherein the top spreading structure is supported only by the plurality of filaments to maintain the position relative to the base portion.

2. The LED filament light of claim 1 , wherein the top spreading structure is a polygonal structure or a ring structure, the top of the plurality of filaments are fixed to the sides of the top spreading structure.

3. The LED filament light of claim 1 , wherein the top spreading structure is made of metal, the top of each filament electrically connected with the top spreading structure, respectively.

4. The LED filament light of claim 1 , wherein the top spreading structure comprises a body, and a plurality of top extension pieces fixed on the body, the plurality of top extension pieces being made of conductive material, and electrically connected with the tops of a plurality of the filaments, the body and the top extension pieces being different elements.

5. The LED filament light of claim 4 , wherein the top extension piece has a folded portion, the top electrical connector of the filament being welded to the folded portion of the extension piece.

6. The LED filament light of claim 1 , wherein the top spreading structure at least provides with one top conductive element, the top conductive element electrically connecting all electrical connectors which are connected to the top of the filaments of the top spreading structure.

7. The LED filament light of claim 6 , wherein the top spreading structure provides with two or more separate top conductive elements, the plurality of filaments being divided into two or more groups, and the top electrical connectors in the same group electrically connected through the top conductive elements, the top electrical connectors in different groups being electrically connected indirectly.

8. The LED filament light of claim 1 , wherein the bottom spreading structure at least provides with two top conductive elements, the bottom conductive elements electrically connecting all electrical connectors which are connected to the top of the filaments of the bottom spreading structure.

9. The LED filament light of claim 1 , wherein the bottom spreading structure provides with two or more separate bottom conductive elements, the plurality of filaments being divided into two or more groups, and the bottom electrical connectors in the same group electrically connected through the bottom conductive elements, the bottom electrical connectors in different groups being electrically connected indirectly.

10. The LED filament light of claim 9 , wherein the base portion provides with two first assembly structures, the first assembly structure being a wire structure, one end of the first assembly structure electrically connected to a power supply element provided outside the base portion, and the other end of the first assembly structure protruded over the base portion after through the base portion, the two bottom conductive elements welded to the other end of the two first assembly structures, respectively, to secure to the base portion.

11. The LED filament light of claim 10 , wherein the bottom conductive element is a rigid closed loop structure, the bottom conductive element having a greater cross-sectional area than the first assembly structure.

12. The LED filament light of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal area of the top spreading structure is less than the horizontal area of the bottom spreading structure so that the plurality of filaments are arranged in a cone shape with wide bottom and narrow top, wherein the top spreading structure and the bottom spreading structure are shifted in a relative angle, so that the plurality of the filaments is distributed in twisted and interlocked.
