The present invention is related to a lighting charm, particularly an object designed for a visual effect by furnishing within a specific environment.
Usually a charm for decorating a specific environment is of a simple design in structure without many variations. Recently living standard of people has increased and market demand on decorating lights, which are used to embellish environment or enhance visual effect, has increased as well. The decorating lights are further improved for producing a specific atmosphere or visual effect in order to attract consumers, increase their will of purchasing and strengthen product competitiveness.
In addition, during a decoration construction a consumer frequently needs to consider other furniture as part of an integral design that decorating lights of different appearances and functions are required accordingly. Therefore the current vendors of decorating lights more focus on various appearance designs.
An objective of the present invention is to enrich the visual effect of a decorating charm in order to strengthen its competitiveness.
Therefore the present invention is to provide a lighting charm that mainly includes:
Thereby when the present invention is turned on with electricity supplied, the illuminator will distribute a light over the mask so as to enrich an effect of light and shade and thus enhance the visual sensation of the present invention.

The mask (2) is hollow and transparent in a sphere shape in this embodiment for illustration purpose. The mask (2) is provided with an upper opening (21) and a lower opening (22) at the top and the bottom of the mask (2) respectively for physically connecting with an internal space thereof.
The first cover (3) is positioned at the top of the mask (2) for sealing the upper opening (21). In this preferred embodiment the first cover (3) is configured by multiply cylinders at different diameters as arranged continuously into a tower appearance for illustration purpose instead of limitation thereon. Further a hanging piece (31) is provided at a tip of the first cover (3) as an extension thereof in a shape of a ring or a hook that in this preferred embodiment a ring is used for illustration purpose. The lighting charm of the present invention can use the hanging piece (31) or a flexible line (32), which is winded through the hanging piece (31) as shown in
The second cover (4) is provided with a platform (41), which is to seal the lower opening (22) of the mask (2), and a support (42), which is positioned at an underside of the platform (41). The second cover (4) is further provided with a control circuit (43) and at least an illuminator (44), which is oriented toward the internal space of the mask (2) and electrically connected with the control circuit (43).
The support (42) is secured to the platform (41) by threading that the underside of the platform (41) is provided with an internal thread (45) and the support (42) is provided with a corresponding external thread (46) so as to be secured to the platform (41) by threading. The platform (41) is further provided with a downward trench (47) and the support (42) is also provided with a corresponding slot (48) that in this preferred embodiment the internal thread (45) is provided at an inner sidewall of the trench (47) while the external thread (46) is provided at an outer sidewall of the slot (48). Therefore a storing space (40) is constituted as the trench (47) is engaged with the slot (48) so as to accommodate the illuminator (44), the control circuit (43) and a battery (49) in a sequence from top to bottom inside the storing space (40) that the control circuit (43) is secured to the trench (47) and the battery (49) is placed inside the slot (48). In this preferred embodiment one illuminator (44) is used for illustration purpose instead of limitation on its quantity. The illuminator (44) is a LED bulb and its flashing frequency and changing color are controlled by the control circuit (43).
The transparent ornament (5) is in a transparent three-dimension shape, which is positioned at the platform (41) inside the mask (2), to receive an illumination by the illuminator (44) that the transparent ornament (5) is secured to the platform (41) by adhesive, screw or other means. In this embodiment the transparent ornament (5) is a transparent extension from the platform (41) for illustration purpose.

According to the above-mentioned, the first cover (3) can be provided with a control circuit (not shown) and at least an illuminator (not shown), which is electrically connected with the control circuit (not shown), as oriented toward the internal space of the mask (2) while the second cover (4) also can be provided with a hanging piece (not shown). According to the aforesaid, the control circuit (43), the illuminator (44) and the hanging piece (31) can be positioned at either one or both of the first cover (3) and the second cover (4) so as to realize a broad variety of the present invention.
A sidewall of the mask (2) is by matte treatment or with texture that the matte treatment with multiply transparent areas (23) of predetermined textures is used for illustration purpose in this embodiment. Further the second cover (4) is provided with a platform (41) and a support (42), which is an extension thereof, that the control circuit (43) and the illuminator (44) are positioned at the platform (41). An outer circumference of the second cover (4) is provided with a switch (431), which is electrically connected with the control circuit (43) and positioned at an outer circumference of the support (42) in this embodiment, while the location of the switch (431) limited since it can be positioned at an outer circumference of the platform (41) as well. The switch (431) is used to turn on or off the illuminator (44) while the sources of electricity can be one of a battery, an alternate current supply or a direct current supply that the electricity sources are of broad variety and thus omitted as its absence in the scope of claim of the present invention.
Moreover, the transparent ornament (5) is a projecting slide, which is in a cylinder shape to encircle the illuminator (44), and the platform (41) is provided with a flange (411), which has an outer side to be positioned by the projecting slide with an application of adhesive so as to securely integrate the projecting slide to the flange (411). The transparent ornament (5) is provided with a transparent area (51), which can be in a form of a figure, character or geometric texture and so on, and an opaque area (52) that multiply star shapes are used for illustration purpose. The projecting slide of this embodiment is a transparent and flexible film made of plastic substance while the opaque area (52) is shaded by painting, taping or other means in order to block the light transmission that the untreated area becomes transparent.
According to the above-mentioned, when the present invention is turned on with electricity supplied, the light from the illuminator (44) will project the contour of the transparent area (51) of the transparent ornament (5) to the sidewall of the mask (2) in correspondence with the transparent area (23) thereof. Further a portion of light will pass through the transparent area (23) of the mask (2) so as to enrich the visual effect of light and shade of the present invention.
