(a) Field of the invention
The present invention relates to an innovated flashing decorative article.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Most conventional decorative articles are without flashing light and lack of amusement effect. Though a few decorative articles may have light flashing function, they will not function until they are switched on. Therefore, the additional switch mechanism complicates the construction of the product.
The present invention comprises an upper hollow pipe, a lower hollow pipe and an exterior magnet. On the rim of the top of the upper hollow pipe are two symmetrically positioned insert pins and a circuit board that is connected via the insert pins to the upper hollow pipe. On the circuit board is an Integrated Circuit chip (IC) and a Light Emitting Diode, LED. The upper side of the circuit board is coated with a layer of transparent glue. Inside the upper hollow pipe is a ring of insulating paper. At a lower part of the upper hollow pipe is an exterior pipe thread. Inside the lower hollow pipe is an interior pipe thread. On the bottom of the lower hollow pipe is a magnet. Inside the hollow of the upper and lower hollow pipes are one to three batteries. The exterior pipe thread and the interior pipe thread of the upper and lower hollow pipes are screwed together. The exterior magnet on the outside of the upper and lower hollow pipes is optionally replaced by a metal ring installed on the bottom of the lower hollow pipe, forming a ring shape.
Due to the variability of the shape of the circuit board and the LED installed on the circuit board, the present invention of light flashing decorative article has the effect of fin and amusement. Besides, tightening of the upper hollow pipe with the lower hollow pipe activates the circuit board, which in turn turns on the LED. This function serves as a switch, enabling compact construction and convenient use of the present invention.
