It is known to use some lighting ornaments for providing a beautiful indoor dressing. The conventional ornament usually includes a light string as the lighting means, which has an electrical wire connecting with many bulb assemblies. Because of the used light string, the known ornament cannot be a rotary one, since the electrical wire will be winded. Hence, the conventional lighting ornaments are almost static and cannot be rotated. It is a drawback to be improved.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotatable power supply apparatus for rotating a lighting ornament, which solves the problem of the prior art and obtains improvement and utilization. Now, accompanying with the following drawings, the character of the present invention will be described here and after.
Referring to
The housing cap (2) mounted on the housing (1) has a central hole (21) for receiving the connecting rotor (3) and the rotor cover (4). The connecting rotor (3) has an inner shaft-joint (31) to engage with the shaft (53) of the motor (51) and has two downward metal, or electrical brush, pins (32), (33) to contact two metal conducting circles (55), (56) on the frame (52) respectively. The metal pins(32), (33) connect to electrical wires (34), (35) at upper ends, while the electrical wires (34), (35) are extended upward and penetrated through a rotor bushing (36) to be jointed and formed a socket (37). The rotor (36) is positioned at upper end of the connecting rotor (3) and received in a hole (41) of the rotor cover (4), which is placed outside the connecting rotor (3).
When the plug (61) connects to outer power source, the motor (51) begins rotating and then rotates to connecting rotor (3) and the rotor cover (4). At the time, two electrical brush pins (32), (33) rotates on two metal conducting circles (55), (56) without separation. As two metal conducting circles (55), (56) are electrified, the socket (37) becomes a power supply and is rotatable. Hence, the present invention becomes a rotatable power supply apparatus.
