Description
TITLE: A DECORATIVE TREE WITH AN ELECTRONIC AIR PURIFIER
This invention relates to a decorative tree with an electronic air purifier.
It has been found that the conventional decorative tree can be used for decoration only and has no other functions. Further, the conventional air purifier (see
FIG. 11) applies high voltage discharge to the air in order to cause some of the oxygen in the air to dissociate, or break down into single atomic units. Then other oxygen 2 molecules pick up the stray atoms and become ozone O3 molecules. Nevertheless, the concentration of ozone obtained by such a way is too low and is not fit for practical use.
Hence, it is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative tree with an electronic purifier which may obviate and mitigate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
This invention relates to a decorative tree with an electronic air purifier.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a decorative tree with an electronic air purifier which can be used as a decorative tree as well as an air purifier.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a decorative tree with an electronic air purifier which can be used in a house or an automobile.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a decorative tree with an electronic air purifier which is simple in construction.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a decorative tree with an electronic air purifier which is practical in use.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a decorative tree with an electronic air purifier which is easy to manufacture.
Other objects and merits and a fuller understanding of the present invention will be obtained by those having ordinary skill in the art when the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like numerals refer to like or similar parts.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a prior art air purifier.
For purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings. Specific language will be used to describe same. It will, nevertheless, be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alternations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated herein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
With reference to the drawings and in particular to
FIGS. 1 and 2 thereof, the present invention mainly comprises a trunk 1, a flexible cane 2, an artificial lawn 3, a cover 70, a high frequency and high voltage circuit 4, an air compressor 5, an ozone generator 6, a container 7, and a pot 8. On the trunk 1 there are artificial flowers 11, leaves 12 and fruits 13. Further, the pot 15 is provided at the outer side with an adjusting knob 14 and an electrical cord 15 connected with a DC plug 152 and an AC plug 151. The trunk 1 is provided at the bottom with an lower end 10 for fixing the trunk 1 in the pot 8.
A tube 16 extends upwardly through the trunk 1 and out of a hole 17 of the trunk 1 and designed for letting out the ozone.
The lower ends of the tube 6 and the cane 2 are inserted through the cover 70 to connect with an outlet cap 60 of the ozone generator 6 (see FIG. 4). The connection between the tube 6 and the cane 2 is well known in the art and need not be mentioned here in detail. As shown in FIG. 2A, the cane 2 is composed of an outer pipe 23 in which there are an inner tube 21 and a flexible member 22. FIG. 2B shows another preferred embodiment of the cane 2, wherein the cane 2 includes a primary tube 24 and a secondary tube 25 in which is inserted a flexible member 22. The artificial lawn 3 is adapted to be fitted on the top of the pot 8 and has a center hole 31 for the passage of the trunk 1, the tube 16 and the cane 2.The container 7 and the lower end 10 of the trunk 1 are first disposed within the pot 8 and then the pot 8 is filled with plaster paste or the like in such a way that the upper surface of the plaster paste is slightly lower than the upper edge of the container 7 so that the plaster paste will not go into the container 7. The bottom of the pot 8 is formed with an opening 81 adapted for receiving a tubular portion 71 formed on the bottom of the container 7. In the tubular portion 71 of the container are fitted a layer of filter cotton 74 and a perforated film 71 for preventing dust or the like from entering therein.
The high frequency and high voltage circuit 4, the air compressor 5 and the ozone generator 6 are mounted in the container 7 and are electrically connected with a switch 14 for controlling the operation and the air flow rate. FIG. 2A is an enlarged view of the switch 14.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the ozone generator 6 includes an inner discharge tube 61 and an outer discharge tube 62. The inner discharge tube 61 is made of glass in which is filled with filling 611. An electrode 65 is inserted into the center of the inner discharge tube 61 and kept in place by an insulator 66 fitted at the mouth of the inner discharge tube 61. Further, the electrode 65 has a terminal 67 extending out of the inner discharging tube 61 to connect the high frequency and high voltage circuit 4. The outer discharge tube 62 is made of metal in which is inserted the inner discharge tube 61.
An electrode sleeve 68 is mounted on the outer surface of the outer discharge tube 62 and has a terminal 69 for connecting the high frequency and high voltage circuit 4.
The. outer discharge tube 62 are engaged with an inlet cap 63 at the right end and an outlet cap 64 at the left end.
The inlet cap 63 is connected with the air compressor 5 so that air will be forced into the ozone generator 6 by the air compressor 5. As the ozone generator 6 is connected with the high frequency and high voltage circuit 4, some of the the oxygen in the air flowing therethrough will be dissociated or broken down into single atomic units.
Other oxygen O molecules pick up the stray atoms and become ozone Ob molecules. Hence, the air together with the ozone will flow out of the outlet cap 64 of the ozone generator 6.
Looking now at FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, the air compressor 5 is driven by a low frequency vibration circuit to supply compressed air into the ozone generator 6. FIG. 10 is an electrical diagram of the high frequency and high voltage circuit 4.
FIG. 10 shows an electrical schematic diagram of a rectifying circuit for connecting the present invention with the DC supply of an automobile.
The invention is naturally not limited in any sense to the particular features specified in the forgoing or to the details of the particular embodiment which has been chosen in order to illustrate the invention.
Consideration can be given to all kinds of variants of the particular embodiment which has been described by way of example and of its constituent elements without thereby departing from the scope of the invention. This invention accordingly includes all the means constituting technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations.
