Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention is related to a sticking-positioned firework light, and especially to a firework light made from a plurality of lamp strings of low cost and with a viewing effect of a firework after positioning by sticking as if the firework were ignited to explode, it is suitable especially for packing up in a small package.




2. Description of the Prior Art




Earlier decorative lamps mostly have a lot of light beads on a single conductor, by electric connection of the conductor, the light beads illuminate or flash to obtain a decoration effect, the decoration effect of such conventional lamp strings is still monolithic and not vivid enough though. Decorative lamps used nowadays give the function of creating various illuminating letters or patterns through electronically controlled netting devices; decorative net lights or netting lamps used for this were disclosed in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,645,342 and 5,951,146. However, such decorative lamps normally are larger by size and cost higher.




And among lamp designing in the present days generally, for the purpose of more embodying, injection molding is used to make imitated figures (such as Santa Claus) or imitated articles (such as a meteor). And then the figures or articles are decorated with lamp beads individually, they display the images of Santa Claus or the meteor when are electrically turned on, such as is the case of the U.S. Pat. No. 5,712,770; however, such decorating things are fixed per se, the decoration effect of them is stationary, they are inferior in attraction.




A U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/897,926 concerning a structure of firework light of a larger type which can generate an effect of lightened firework with a flashing function as the firework lightened in a ceremony has been filed by the applicant of the present application. The improved firework light or any of the conventional firework lights of such kind is a firework light of the larger type, it has a height of between 1.5 m to 3 m, while the stretching ranges of the radial rods of such a firework light each is about 0.6 m to 1.8 m. Such a firework light is cumbersome for manufacturing as well as cost high, and the largest trouble of it is resided in the huge volume thereof and inconvenience of transportation and storage.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The object of the present invention is to provide a sticking-positioned firework light, in which a base seat can make positioning of a plurality of lamp strings provided in a plurality of transparent pipes imitating radiation lamp pipes; a main lamp pipe extends downwardly from the center of the base seat, the top end of the main lamp pipe is connected with a light flashing device in the center of the base seat. The conductors of the internal lamp strings in the radiation lamp pipes are extended each for an ample length to connect with the main lamp pipe and its lamp string. The radiation lamp pipes and the main lamp pipe are all made of elastomer of suitable softness, all the radiation lamp pipes can be pulled out of the base seat for positioning by providing their ample lengths to form an effect of a firework in cooperating with the soft and elastic main lamp pipe, additionally, the firework light can be packed up in a package of smaller volume in favor of transportation by manufacturers or storage by distributors or users.











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

FIGS. 1-3

, the sticking-positioned firework light of the present invention is comprised of a base seat


10


, a plurality of transparent pipes


20


and a main lamp pipe


30


. Wherein, the base seat


10


is made to render its thickness not overly large, the entire firework light can be mounted by sticking in a field to be decorated after being stretched and positioned.




In the preferred embodiment shown in

FIG. 1

, all the radiation lamp pipes


20


are pulled out to be in a non-positioned state, it is shown that a conductor


21


of every radiation lamp pipe


20


is pulled out of the base seat


10


from their corresponding positioning hole


11


.




The transparent pipes


20


and the main lamp pipe


30


are all made of elastomer of suitable softness, that is, the lamp pipes


20


and


30


are not overly soft and can be given fixed shapes, but still can be bent for collection. All the lamp pipes


20


and


30


are provided internally with their own lamp strings that can be connected with a light control device (not shown) through their corresponding conductors, so that flashing time and modes of the lamp strings in the lamp pipes


20


and


30


can be controlled.




In the preferred embodiment shown, the base seat


10


is generally in the shape of a sector on which a plurality of positioning holes


11


are provided and spaced equally. Each lamp pipe


20


thereby can have its partial length on the bottom end thereof inserted into one of the positioning holes


11


. The lamp pipes


20


can thereby be arranged in a radiation form on the base seat


10


, and the conductors


21


of the radiation lamp pipes


20


are extended each for an ample length, so that after insertion of the lamp pipes


20


, the conductors


21


are completely contracted into the base seat


10


(referring to FIG.


3


). And when in collapsing the light, each lamp pipe


20


can be pulled out of its positioning hole


11


(referring to FIG.


1


).




And in the preferred embodiment shown, a light flashing device


40


is provided between the top end of the main lamp pipe


30


and the bottom end of the radiation lamp pipes


20


. With such a structure, a control device can make the lamp bulbs on the internal lamp string of the main lamp pipe


30


be lightened one by one gradually from the lowermost one upwardly, when this is proceeded to the light flashing device


40


, flashing is put out for a period of time, then the internal lamp strings in the radiation lamp pipes


20


are lightened in various modes. This can make an effect of firework as if it were ejected to a high spot and then exploded to flash.




The present invention hence can be mounted on a wall


400


by sticking as is depicted in

FIG. 4

to get an effect of firework. Or as shown in

FIG. 5

, the present invention can be stored. When all the radiation lamp pipes


20


of the present invention are pulled out of their positioning holes


11


, they can be folded and arranged tidily in a pending mode on the surface of the base seat


10


, while the main lamp pipe


30


can be wrapped up into a ring form, and the entire firework light can be packed and stored in a packing container or box with a small volume in favor of transportation by manufacturers or storage by distributors, and users can also have it stored when not in use.




In the above embodiment of the present invention, the round positioning holes


11


are provided in corresponding to the round radiation lamp pipes


20


, the base seat


10


and the radiation lamp pipes


20


can certainly be positioned and arranged in a spaced mode with some other structure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The base seat


10


in the shape of a sector can be substituted by a base seat


100


in the shape of a semicircle as shown in

FIG. 6

to give a different visual effect of radiation.




The embodiment cited above is only for illustrating a preferred embodiment and not for giving any limitation to the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in this art that various modifications or changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention can be made to and shall fall within the scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
