Combined frame and back light module

Abstract

A combined frame for housing at least a lamp with one end connected to a power cord is provided. The combined frame comprises a lower frame and an upper frame. The lamp is positioned between the upper frame and the lower frame. The lower frame has an angled cable groove that encloses the power cord from the lamp. One end of the power cord is exposed outside the lower frame. The upper frame is positioned over the lower frame. Through the angled cable groove, the power cord is prevented from sliding in the axial direction of the lamp by any unintended external force and hence pulling power cable away from the lamp. This invention also provides a back light module comprising a light-guiding plate and the aforementioned lamp and combined frame.

1 . A combined frame for housing at least a lamp with one end connected to a power cord, comprising: 
 a lower frame having an angled cable groove having at least two corners, wherein the power cord is enclosed within the angled cable groove such that the end of the power cord is exposed outside the lower frame; and    an upper frame covering the top section of the lower frame so as to engage with the lower frame.    
     
     
         2 . The combined frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower frame furthermore comprises a stationing block such that the angled cable groove is formed inside the stationing block.  
     
     
         3 . The combined frame according to  claim 2 , wherein the upper frame furthermore comprises a cover plate such that the cover plate covers the top section of the stationing block.  
     
     
         4 . The combined frame according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the corners of the angled cable groove is selected from a group consisting of a right corner, an acute corner and an obtuse corner.  
     
     
         5 . The combined frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the interior of the angled cable groove furthermore has a plurality of bumps for restraining any movement in the power cord.  
     
     
         6 . The combined frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the sidewalls of the lower frame furthermore have a plurality of protrusions and the upper frame furthermore has a plurality of corresponding fasteners each with an opening thereon so that each protrusion can fasten onto the opening of a corresponding fastener so that the upper frame and the lower frame are fastened together.  
     
     
         7 . The combined frame according to  claim 6 , wherein each protrusion furthermore has a slant surface for guiding the fastener so that the opening in the fastener can smoothly click onto the protrusion.  
     
     
         8 . A combined frame having at least a lamp therein, comprising: 
 a lower frame having an angled cable groove;    an upper frame covering the top section of the lower frame so as to engage with the lower frame;    at least a lamp disposed between the lower frame and the upper frame; and    a power cord connected with the lamp and enclosed within the angled cable groove such that one end of the power cord is exposed outside the lower frame.    
     
     
         9 . The combined frame having at least a lamp therein according to  claim 8 , wherein the angled cable groove has at least two corners.  
     
     
         10 . The combined frame having at least a lamp therein according to  claim 9 , wherein each of the corners of the angled cable groove is selected from a group consisting of a right corner, an acute corner and an obtuse corner.  
     
     
         11 . The combined frame having at least a lamp therein according to  claim 8 , wherein the lower frame furthermore comprises a stationing block such that the angled cable groove is formed inside the stationing block.  
     
     
         12 . The combined frame having at least a lamp therein according to  claim 11 , wherein the upper frame furthermore comprises a cover plate such that the cover plate covers the top section of the stationing block.  
     
     
         13 . The combined frame having at least a lamp therein according to  claim 8 , wherein the interior of the angled cable groove furthermore has a plurality of bumps for restraining any movement in the power cord.  
     
     
         14 . The combined frame having at least a lamp therein according to  claim 8 , wherein the sidewalls of the lower frame furthermore have a plurality of protrusions and the upper frame furthermore has a plurality of corresponding fasteners each with an opening thereon so that each protrusion can fasten onto the opening of a corresponding fastener so that the upper frame and the lower frame are fastened together.  
     
     
         15 . The combined frame having at least a lamp therein according to  claim 14 , wherein each protrusion furthermore has a slant surface for guiding the fastener so that the opening in the fastener can smoothly click onto the protrusion.
