Abstract

An illuminated display frame includes at least one horizontal supporting frame, wherein each of the horizontal supporting frames comprises a first receiving cavity; at least one transversal supporting frame connected with the horizontal supporting frames, wherein each of the transversal supporting frames comprises a second receiving cavity; at least one elongated connectors embedded inside the first receiving cavity to connect two adjacent horizontal supporting frames; at least one L-shaped connectors embedded inside the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity to connect the transversal supporting frame and the horizontal supporting frame; at least one electrical wire connected with the elongated connectors and the L-shaped connectors; and a plurality of illuminating devices arranged on the horizontal supporting frames and the transversal supporting frames, and electrically connected with the electrical wire.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An illuminated display frame, comprising:
at least one horizontal supporting frame, wherein each of the horizontal supporting frames comprises a first receiving cavity;
at least one transversal supporting frame connected with the horizontal supporting frames, wherein each of the transversal supporting frames comprises a second receiving cavity;
at least one elongated connector embedded inside the first receiving cavity to connect two adjacent horizontal supporting frames;
at least one L-shaped connector embedded inside the first receiving cavity and second receiving cavity to connect the horizontal supporting frame and the transversal supporting frame;
at least one electrical wire connected with the elongated connectors and the L-shaped connectors; and
a plurality of illuminating devices selectively arranged on the horizontal supporting frames or the transversal supporting frames, and electrically connected with the electrical wire;
wherein each of the elongated connectors comprises a male connector and an elongated female connector connected with the elongated male connector.

2. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the elongated connectors is shaped to be inserted inside the first receiving cavity.

3. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the L-shaped connectors comprises a horizontal portion shaped to insert into the first receiving cavity, and a transversal portion shaped to insert into the second receiving cavity.

4. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 1 , wherein the male connector comprises a first portion having a retaining slot and a second portion having a protrusion being inserted into the retaining slot.

5. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 4 , wherein the second portion has a male through hole where the electrical wire can pass therethrough.

6. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 5 , wherein the elongated female connector comprises a female through hole where the electrical wire can pass therethrough.

7. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 6 , wherein the electrical wire has a male end and a female end connected with the male end, wherein the male end can pass through the male through hole of the elongated male connector, and the female end can be embedded inside the female through hole.

8. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 7 , wherein the horizontal portion of the L-shaped connector comprises a first female through hole to receive the female end of the electrical wire, and the transversal portion of the L-shaped connector comprises a first male through hole to receive the male end of the electrical wire.

9. An illuminated display frame, comprising:
at least one horizontal supporting, frame, wherein each of the horizontal supporting frames comprises a first receiving cavity;
at least one transversal supporting frame connected with the horizontal supporting frames, wherein each of the transversal supporting frames comprises a second receiving cavity;
at least one elongated connector embedded inside the first receiving cavity to connect two adjacent horizontal supporting frames;
at least one L-shaped connector embedded inside the second receiving cavity and the first receiving cavity to connect the transversal supporting frame and the horizontal supporting frame;
at least one electrical wire connected with the elongated connectors and the L-shaped connectors; and
a plurality of illuminating devices selectively arranged on the horizontal supporting frames or the transversal supporting frames, and electrically connected with the electrical wire; wherein
each of the elongated connectors comprises an opening slot for receiving the electrical wire being inserted therein.

10. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 9 , wherein each of the elongated connectors comprises a male connector and an elongated female connector connected with the male connector.

11. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 10 , wherein the opening slot comprises a first opening slot located on the male connector and a second opening slot located on the elongated female connector.

12. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 11 , wherein the electrical wire has a male end and a female end connected with the male end, wherein the male end can be inserted into the first opening slot, and the female end can be inserted into the second opening slot.

13. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 12 , wherein the horizontal portion of the IL-shaped connector comprises a first female through hole to receive the female end of the electrical wire, and the transversal portion of the L-shaped connector comprises a first male through hole to receive the male end of the electrical wire.

14. An illuminated display frame, comprising:
at least one horizontal supporting frame, wherein each of the horizontal supporting frames comprises a first receiving cavity;
at least one transversal supporting frame connected with the horizontal supporting frames, wherein each of the transversal supporting frames comprises a second receiving cavity;
at east one elongated connectors embedded inside the first receiving cavity to connect two adjacent horizontal supporting frames;
at least one L-shaped connectors embedded inside the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity to connect the horizontal supporting frame and the transversal supporting frame;
at least one electrical wire connected with the elongated connectors and the L-shaped connectors; and
a plurality of illuminating devices arranged on the horizontal supporting frames and the transversal supporting frames, and electrically connected with the electrical wire; wherein
each of the elongated connectors comprises a through hole for receiving the electrical wire being passed therethrough.

15. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 14 , wherein each of the elongated connectors comprises a male connector and an elongated female connector connected with the elongated male connector.

16. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 15 , wherein the male connector has a one-piece structure, and the elongated female connector has a one-piece structure.

17. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 16 , wherein the through hole comprises a male through hole arranged on the male connector and a female through hole arranged on the elongated female connector.

18. The illuminated display frame, as recited in claim 17 , wherein the electrical wire has a male end and a female end connected with the male end, wherein the male end can pass through the male through hole, and the female end can pass through the female through hole.
