Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a structure of firework light, and especially to such a structure of firework light of a larger type rendering the seat of the light more stable, the flashing effect of the light increased, and assembling of the radial rods of the firecracker light more convenient.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Conventional decorative lamps mostly have a lot of light beads on a lamp string, through control of the internal structure or electric circuit, the entire lamp string can provide the function of illumination or flashing. Modern lamp strings is variant in designing, including designing in cooperation with decorative articles of various fashions, or including making a plurality of lamp strings a form of curtain, this can be done by providing an IC program so that the curtain can give various changing motion patterns formed by flashing of the light.
The firework light of the larger type has a height of between 1.5 m to 3 m, while the stretching amplitudes of the radial rods provided on the post each is about 0.6 m to 1.8 m. Flashing of the decorative lamp looks like a general exploding firework, this firework effect is formed mainly by the radial rods on the top of the decorative lamp.
However, such firework light of the larger type has the following defect, i.e., by virtue that such firework light of the larger type generally is placed individually in an open area outdoors, stability of seating of such a conventional firework light is less desired. And more, the function of creating the firework is provided by direct driving the lamp strings for flashing on the radial rods, and is somewhat different from exploding of real fireworks. Further, a ball of the conventional firework light must be connected with a lot of radial rods. In the assembling structures of the radial rods now available, the radial rods are inconvenient for in-site assembling.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a structure of firework light of a larger type, and is comprised of a base, a post mounted on the base, a ball provided on the top of the post, and a lot of transparent radial rods connected with the ball. The base is provided therein a lower transformer and an upper automatic reeling device. A separately controlled flashlight is provided at the center in the ball, the radial rods can be fast connected to the ball by providing male conductive connectors in cooperation with the insertion means provided on the ends of the radial rods and in cooperation with locking members. The flashlight provided at the center in the ball can separately flash to form an internal central exploding point, the radial rods can flash sequentially to thereby strengthen the effect of a real firework for the 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
FIGS. 1
,
2
, the present invention is comprised of a hollow base
10
for seating, a post
20
of a predetermined length inserted in the base
10
, a hollow ball
40
provided on the top of the post
20
connected by a connecting collar
30
, and a lot of transparent radial rods
50
connected with the ball
40
.
The base
10
is provided therein on the bottom thereof with an electric connecting means such as a transformer
11
with an IC controller
12
on the upper portion thereof, and is provided therein with an upper automatic reeling device
13
having a crank handle
14
for controlling reeling of an electric conductor
15
. In this embodiment, although the transformer
11
is provided on the bottom to lower the gravity and to increase stability of the of the entire firework light, in another embodiment using a high voltage electric conductor, a weight can be placed at the bottom inside of the base
10
.
Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4
, the hollow ball
40
in the abovementioned embodiment is formed from two semi-spherical bodies, while an extension sleeve
41
is provided on the bottom of the lower semi-spherical body. The post
20
has its partial lengths of the upper and the lower ends thereof inserted respectively into the extension sleeve
41
and the interior of the base
10
. In the practicable embodiment, the sleeve
41
is provided with a threaded section
42
of a specific length, the connecting collar
30
having an internal thread is used for screw connecting to fix the ball
40
to the post
20
.
Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3
, a connecting seat
43
is provided at the junction of the lower semi-spherical body of the ball
40
and the post
20
for mounting a flashlight
44
, so that the flashlight
44
generally is located at the center of the ball
40
.
Referring to
FIGS. 3
,
5
and
6
, the two semi-spherical bodies of the ball
40
can be provided with a lot of holes
45
for assembling a lot of radial rods
50
in the same number as that of the holes
45
. Each radial rod
50
in principle is also a transparent hollow pipe for placing therein the required lamp string, and a female insertion end
51
and a locking nut
52
are provided therein too. An electric conductive male insertion member
54
including a stop flange
53
is connected with a hole
45
of the ball
40
with one end thereof exposed to the outside of the ball
40
while with the other end thereof extended into the ball
40
for connecting an electric conductive female insertion member
55
. The exposing end of the male insertion member
54
can be insertion connected with the female insertion end
51
on the radial rod
50
by aiding of a leakage-proof ring
56
; then the locking nut
52
is added for locking, and leakage-proof connection between the radial rod
50
and the ball
40
is completed.
Conductors
501
for all the radial rods
50
and a conductor
401
for the flashlight
44
are all connected via an internal main conductor
201
to the IC controller
12
. The conductors are controlled to render the lamp strings in the radial rods
50
and the flashlight
44
to flash separately or sequentially,. this is a practicable technique well known by those skilled in the art and is not to be further narrated.
The structure of the present invention as stated above can make the lamp strings in the radial rods flash sequentially from inside outwardly after the flashlight flashes, i.e., the flash point of the present invention is generated at the center of the ball in advance, then the radial rods flash with an effect more like that of a real firework. And the heavier transformer is provided on the bottom of the firework light to lower the gravity and to effectively increase stability of the entire firework light; and more, assembling of the multiple radial rods can be faster and more convenient.
