This invention relates to a C type lamp string improvement, comprising a lamp holder, a first contact piece, a second contact piece and a cord, wherein said lamp holder is such designed as to be integrally molded together. Said first contact piece and second contact piece may contact each pole of the bulb respectively, and one end of each has a sharp point for piercing the covering of the cord while contacting the core of the cord to achieve good conductivity, and said second contact piece has a proper number of projecting points at intervals equivalent to the pitches of the bulb thread to substitute for the conventional lamp holder thread. For manufacture, the first step is to insert the first and second contact pieces into the mold for making said lamp holder, and then place said cord within said injecting mold to enable said first and second contact pieces to pierce the covering of said cord with the sharp point, and wait until the integration of the injecting mold then the lamp holder will be integrally molded while cord and first and second contact pieces are integrated within the lamp holder.

C type lamp string improvement

A shift lever apparatus for use in bicycles comprising first and second ratchet wheels and first and second switch levers, all of them being mounted on a main shaft. The first and second switch levers contain first and second ratchet pawls for engaging with the first and second ratchet wheels, respectively. The first and second ratchet wheels are connected to a cam via a gear set so as to cause the cam to rotate in forward and reverse directions, respectively. The outer periphery of the cam consists a plurality of spiral sectors, each of which having monotonically increasing radius, alternated with a plurality of circular sectors, each of which having constant radius. When a follower, which is provided in the shift lever apparatus, is in contact with one of the spiral sectors, a movement of the first or the second lever will cause the cam to rotate, in a forward or reverse direction, and the follower to pull or release the shifting cable according, thus allowing the derailleur to shift gear upward or downward.
