Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an illuminating ornamental flower, and more particularly to an ornamental flower having an illuminating assembly with a light-emitting unit connected thereto, so that the ornamental flower is softly illuminated and looked vivid.
  • a light-emitting device may be used not only as an illuminating apparatus, but also a decoration.
  • the light-emitting unit becomes more valuable for use.
  • such conventional light-emitting devices could provide limited. changes to the light beams emitted therefrom, and mainly used for common illumination.
  • LED light emitting diodes
  • the light emitted from the LED type light-emitting unit provides very good light condensing effect and directly projects outward, an intense light spot could usually be seen on the translucent casing of an illuminating device using LED type light emitting unit as the light source.
  • areas on the translucent casing of the illuminating device other than the intense light spot are relatively dark. It gives the illuminating device an inferior sense of sight.
  • the light-emitting unit of prior art does not include any protective and/or decorative means, such as a lampshade, and would therefore have an adverse influence on an overall beauty of the ornamental flower.
  • the illuminating device included in the present invention includes an illuminating assembly adapted to produce soft light beams and make the ornamental flower looked vivid, elegant, and beautiful.
  • the illuminating device includes an illuminating assembly having a light diffusing shell that softens light beams emitted from a light-emitting unit and thereby makes the ornamental flower looked vivid.
  • the illuminating assembly includes LED type light-emitting units emitting differently colored light beams, a variety of changeful effects may be achieved.
  • the present invention includes an illuminating assembly disposed in the center of an ornamental petal portion.
  • the illuminating assembly comprises at least one light-emitting unit for projecting light, a diffusing shell that is made of light-transmissible material for housing the light-emitting unit and evenly diffusing the light out to the ornamental petal portion, and a holding member which includes a light-emitting unit holder, a connecting sleeve, and a lead holder.
  • the diffusing shell has a plurality of facets, and may be differently configured to match with an appearance of the ornamental flower.
  • the front end of the lead holder is extended into the connecting sleeve to engage with the light-emitting unit holder.
  • the light-emitting unit holder is internally provided with two through holes for the two pins of the light-emitting unit to extend therethrough and to electrically connect to the leads of the power cord extending through the two holes of the lead holder to obtain the working voltage for the light-emitting unit.
  • the structurally simple light diffusing shell is capable to diffuse and soften light beams emitted from a light-emitting unit, so as to make an ornamental flower illuminated by the emitted light beams looked vivid or even to create a variety of changeful decorating effects.
  • the illuminating assembly of the present invention is applied to various lighting fixtures, dim lights, etc., an elegant and esthetic effect can be created.
  • the illuminating assembly included in the present invention does not form an intense light spot on the outer surface of the light diffusing shell covering the light-emitting unit.
  • the present invention is therefore superior to the prior art.
  • Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an ornamental flower with illuminating device for indoor and outdoor use according to an embodiment of the present invention showing various portions thereof.
  • the present invention mainly includes an illuminating assembly 1, an ornamental petal portion 2 connected to a rear end of the illuminating assembly 1, an ornamental receptacle portion 3 located behind the petal portion 2, an ornamental peduncle portion 4 located behind the receptacle portion 3, and an insertion rod portion 5 connected to a rear end of the peduncle portion 4.
  • An outer surface of the peduncle portion 4 may be decorated with artificial leaves or painted with suitable patterns or colors to match the petal portion 2, so that the whole invention appears to be highly resembled to real flower.
  • the peduncle portion 4 defines an internal space for leads 41 of a power cord to extend therethrough to supply electric power needed by the present invention.
  • the leads 41 of the power cord also extend through the insertion rod portion 5 to connect to an external power source, so as to obtain a working voltage for the present invention.
  • the illuminating assembly 1 represents a pistil or a stamen in the present invention. Please refer to Fig. 2, which is an exploded perspective view of the illuminating assembly 1.
  • the illuminating assembly 1 mainly includes, from front to rear end, a light diffusing shell 11, a light-emitting unit 12, and a holding member 13.
  • the light-emitting unit 12 includes two pins 121, 122
  • the holding member 13 includes a light-emitting unit holder 131, a connecting sleeve 132, and a lead holder 133.
  • the lead holder 133 is provided at a rear portion with two through holes 1331, 1332 for the two leads 41 of the power cord to extend therethrough.
  • a front end of the lead holder 133 is extended into the connecting sleeve 132 to engage with the light-emitting unit holder 131.
  • the light-emitting unit holder 131 is internally provided with two through holes for the two pins 121, 122 of the light-emitting unit 12 to extend therethrough to electrically connect to the leads 41 of the power cord and thereby obtain the working voltage for the light-emitting unit 12.
  • the light diffusing shell 11 is made of a light-transmissible material and located at the most front end of the illuminating assembly 1.
  • the light diffusing shell 11 defines an internal space for accommodating the light-emitting unit 12 and the light-emitting unit holder 131 therein, such that the shell 11 is connected at a rear end to the connecting sleeve 132 to form an integral body.
  • Fig. 3 is an exploded side view of the illuminating assembly 1 clearly showing all components thereof.
  • Fig. 4 is an assembled perspective view of the light-emitting unit 12, and
  • Fig. 5 is an assembled cross sectional view taken along line 5-5 of Fig. 4 to better show an internal structure of the illuminating assembly 1 and the way of wiring to obtain the working voltage for the present invention.
  • the light-emitting unit 12 may include light emitting diodes (LED) emitting differently colored light beams to create varied decorating effects.
  • LED light emitting diodes
  • the light diffusing shell 11 is made of a light-transmissible material and located at the most front end of the illuminating assembly 1 to evenly diffuse light beams emitted from the light-emitting unit 12.
  • the shell 11 has a plurality of facets, and may be differently configured to match with an appearance of the ornamental flower.
  • Fig. 6 is an assembled perspective view of a variant of the illuminating assembly for the present invention.
  • the illuminating assembly 1a includes a light diffusing shell 11a, a connecting sleeve 132, and a lead holder 132 to show an appearance completely different from that of the illuminating assembly 1 of Fig. 4.
