Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to an exploding-like firework light, and especially to a firework light having flashing lamp strings with an exploding effect on the top thereof, it can increase safety of use and can reduce its packing volume.
2. Description of the Prior Art
FLAMEWORKS lamps available presently mainly have lamp strings flashing forth upwardly from below continuously, and the top end thereof has a plurality of radiating levers to generate an effect of a firework scattering outwardly. Such FLAMEWORKS lamps generally only have the lamp strings or lamp pipes thereof flashed, they are practically different from the situation that a firework explodes in the first place and then scatters. By the fact that such FLAMEWORKS lamps are principally placed in open areas to generate the effect of brilliant scene and decoration. The decoration effect of the FLAMEWORKS lamps used presently is evidently more different from the fireworks practically played.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,312,141 granted to Liu provides such a FLAMEWORKS lamp; it has an upright firing lamp provided on the top thereof with a supporting ball. The supporting ball is connected with a plurality of radiating levers to make the FLAMEWORKS lamp flash forth upwardly from below after electrically turning on, and to provide a firework scattering effect from the radiating levers of the supporting ball. Such a FLAMEWORKS lamp still can not get the effect assimilating the fireworks practically played.
Thereby, the applicant of the present application filed a patent application Ser. No. 09/906727 relating to a firework light having a flashlight on the top end thereof, and an upright lamp pipe flashing forth upwardly from below continuously and generating an exploding-like flash, and a plurality of radiating levers generating an effect of a firework scattering outwardly. Hence the decoration effect of the firework light can be more like the state of a firework practically played. In this aspect, the decoration effect of the firework light can be elevated.
By the fact that such a firework light has a height of about 1.5 to 3.0 m, the length of each radiating lever is about 0.6 to 1.8 m, and a large one of such firework lights with the required electric members occupies a large volume no matter in shipping or packaging. Thereby, it is a substantial problem to know how to increase the safety of use and to reduce the packing volume of such a firework light to thereby reduce the cost of shipping and increase the convenience of storage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide an exploding-like firework light which is provided with a stand to support a lamp post on which lamp bulbs can flash forth upwardly from below continuously till the top end thereof, a hollow ball is provided on the top end of the lamp post. The hollow ball is provided near the center thereof with an internal central flashlight flashing in an exploding mode, a plurality of radiating levers capable of generating an effect of a firework scattering outwardly are connected to the hollow ball. The flashlight is controlled and driven by a voltage riser and a relay after voltage dropping of a power source to make the power source with the voltage drop control all the other lamp pipes or lamp strings by using a low voltage transformer through a central processing unit, to thereby form a safer exploding-like firework light more suitable for outdoor use for a long period.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stand can be in the mode of a combination in order to reduce the packing volume of the entire exploding-like firework light.
The present invention will be apparent in its novelty and features after reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to
FIG. 1
in the first place, the preferred embodiment shown of the present invention has a stand
10
for fixing the entire firework light on the ground in a desired field, and for supporting a lamp post
20
with a predetermined length, a hollow ball
30
is provided on the top end of the lamp post
20
. A plurality of radiating levers
31
are connected in advance to the hollow ball
30
. The hollow ball
30
is provided near the center thereof with an internal central flashlight
32
capable of generating strong flashing. By electric connection and control, the firework light can flash forth upwardly from below continuously till the top end thereof where the hollow ball
30
is, then the top end flashes in an exploding mode; the radiating levers
31
then radiate with flashing outwardly, so that the decoration effect of the entire firework light can be more like the state of a firework practically played.
As shown in
FIGS. 2
,
3
, in the preferred embodiment shown, the stand
10
of the present invention has three main supporting feet
11
arranged each in a bevel mode, the upper ends of the bevel main supporting feet
11
are connected to an annular central collar
40
, and the lower ends thereof are fixed on the ground each with an inclined angle. Every two main supporting feet
11
are connected at a level suitably above the ground to a transverse connecting rod
12
, so that the three transverse connecting rods
12
form an equilateral triangular frame, and an inversed triangular baseboard
50
can be assembled in the triangular frame for connecting bottom connecting pieces of the lamp post
20
. As shown in
FIGS. 4
,
5
, the baseboard
50
can be comprised of a middle board
51
with three connecting edges, and three triangular boards
52
,
53
and
54
. Each of the triangular boards
52
,
53
and
54
has an edge pivotally connected to a corresponding edge of the middle board
51
; while one of the three corners of each of them can be connected to the corresponding one of the three transverse connecting rods
12
. The junctions respectively between the three triangular boards
52
,
53
,
54
and the middle board
51
and respectively between the transverse connecting rods
12
and the stand
10
are preferably fixedly locked by connecting using screws in order to be detached conveniently any time. And the grounding ends
13
of the stand
10
are flat to benefit to fixing to the ground with nails.
The transverse connecting rods
12
and the stand
10
thereby are individual rod members before assembling; while the triangular boards
52
,
53
and
54
of the baseboard
50
can be mounted with hinges
55
to be able to fold back onto the surface of the middle board
51

Referring to
FIG. 6
, in the electric flow chart for the preferred embodiment of the present invention shown, a power source connected through a power connector
60
has its voltage dropped through a transformer
61
, and then is controlled by an IC controller
70
to respectively control a flashlight
32
and all the lamp pipes or lamp strings
80
. Taking the 230V power source of the present invention as an example, the transformer
61
can be a 230V/24V transformer, so that it can be respectively connected with a 24V/230V voltage riser
71
and a 24V/6V low voltage transformer
72
in the IC controller
70
. The voltage riser
71
thereby can control the flashlight
32

80
through a central processing unit
74
and its connecting and driving unit
75
in cooperation with the power
76
source having been dropped in respect to voltage.
By virtue that such exploding and flashing firework light must be used outdoors for a long period under a higher voltage, the present invention singly uses the voltage riser
71
to control and drive the flashlight
32
in the above stated mode, and controls all the other lamp pipes or lamp strings
80
with a lower voltage; it has higher safety as well as reliability when being operated outdoors for a long period.
