Abstract
An adapter for a fluorescent is adapted to apply to cold cathode fluorescent tube on LED display and has a cover with two inner grooves and a switch portion having a track, a body slidably engaged with the cover, a metallic terminal stand attached to and controlled by the switch portion. The body has two rails correspondingly engaged with the grooves of the cover and has a recess for resting the fluorescent tube. The metallic terminal stand has two resilient arms close each other to perform a Y-shaped opening at distal ends and an oval expansion hole below the Y-shaped opening. When the cover is pushed to slide along the trail on the body, the track on the body with a narrow section presses abutting faces on the resilient arms and limits the expansion of the resilient arms on the metallic terminal stand so as to quickly and detachably clamp the fluorescent tube.
