BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A socket-fitted light emitting diode lamp includes a main body 1 which is detachably mounted to a lamp socket with each component being fixed and has a socket coupling portion 11 on an outer upper portion and a cap-suspending groove 12 to fix a cap on an outer periphery, a plurality of light emitting diodes 2 provided inside the main body 1 or in an opening of the main body 1 toward a reflection surface 4 to radiate a plurality of colors of light in response to power supply, the reflection surface 4 provided inside the main body 1 for reflecting the light which is radiated from the plurality of light emitting diodes 2 forward through the opening of the main body 1, and a cap 3 detachably installed from the opening of the main body, including a suspending ring portion to be fixed in the cap-suspending groove 12 of the main body 1, for preventing introduction of impurities.
The light emitting diodes 2 are mostly composed of white LED's when the light emitting diodes lamp of the present invention is used for illumination purpose, but in case of rendering different color of light, blue, green and red LED's are adopted in the light emitting diodes 2.
The cap 3 includes a transparent or semi-transparent cap and concave and convex lenses to focus and disperse the light. The main body 1 may be formed in the shape of empty semi-sphere (Fig. 1 and Fig. 6) and in the shape of an empty reversed funnel (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).
The shape of the light emitting diodes 2 and installation thereof may be altered depending on the shape of the light reflection means 4.
Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the reflection means 4 covered with a reflection surface 41 is adopted on the inner surface of the main body 1, and faced with this reflection surface 41 a plurality of light emitting diodes 2 are adopted radially around the mounting means 5 which protrudes from the inner center of the main body 1, so that the light emitted from the light emitting diodes 2 is reflected on the reflection surface 41 and radiates through the opening.
The reflection means 4 in Fig. 1 formed as the inner surface of an empty semi-sphere will reflect the light beams emitted from the light emitting diodes 2 in one direction, while the reflection means 4 in Fig. 2 formed as the inner surface of a reversed funnel will reflect and spread the light beam as emitted from the light emitting diodes 2 into a wide angle. In this way, the angle of spreading the light beams can be determined by the shape and the curvature of the reflection means 4, and many other shape of reflection means can be adopted according to the desired angle of spreading the light beams.
Referring to Fig. 3, the reflection means 4 formed in a shape of a cone covered with a reflection surface 42 is adoptd to protrude from the inner center of the main body 1, and faced with this reflection surface 42, and surrounding the reflection means 4, a plurality of light emitting diodes 2 are adopted on the mounting means 5 which is attached to the inner wall of the main body 1, so that the light emitted from the light emitting diodes 2 is reflected on the reflection surface 42 and radiates through the opening. Fig. 4 shows the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention which can be achieved by extending longitudinally the cross section shown in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2. It is obvious that by extending the length of the light emitting diodes lamp shown in Fig. 4, a desired level of illumination can be obtained.
Fig. 5 shows the cross-sectional view of the fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is another alternative design of the third embodiment shown in Fig. 3, achieved by adopting the main body to have a plurality of supporting rods 7 to support the cap 3 and the mounting means 5 on which the light emitting diode 2 are disposed, the opening captured between the supporting rods 7 around the main body 1, and the reflection means 4 covering the surface of the cone-shaped reflection surface 42, so that the light emitted from the light emitting diodes 2 is reflected on the reflection surface 42 and radiated through the opening disposed around the main body 1.
Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of Fig. 5 in which the supporting rods 7 are formed with a predetermined interval. The light emitting diode lamp of the third embodiment as shown in Fig. 3 and the fifth embodiment as shown in Fig. 5 may also be extended longitudinally in the same manner as shown in the fourth embodiment or in Fig. 4. Moreover the shape of the light emitting diode lamps shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5, may be slightly extended in one direction to exhibit an oval type, and even further modification in shape can be achieved within the scope of the invention.
Now, operation of the socket-fitted light emitting diode lamp will be described in detail.
Since the light emitting diodes 2 and the reflection means 4 are integrally formed with the socket coupling portion 11 on an outer upper portion of the main body 1, the socket-fitted light emitting diode lamp of the present invention is inserted into any socket of ordinary lamps.
