Fiti. 5 is a schematic view in accordance with a second embodiment of ihe present invention when in use /DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE.

Emhodirnertts of the present invention will how be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying draw mgs.

Referring to FIG. I and FIG. 2, a flarneless candle with integrated fountain device in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a container (1). a tube (2). a saucer (3h a pump motor (-1), a first light-emitting member (5). a second light-emitting member (h), and a power supply unit (7). The container (1) is made of a 1 ight-pervious material or a transparent material. The container (1) has a side plate {11) and a bottom plate (12). The side plate (1 i) and the bottom plate (12) jointly surround an accommodation space (13) in the container (l) The bottom plate (i 2) has an inner surlacc (12.1) racing the accommodation space (13) and an outer surface (122) opposite the inner surface (121) The tube (2) includes a first tube (21) and a second tube (22) disposed longitudinally side by side in the accommodation space (13). The first tube (21) has a closed top end and an open bottom end The second tube (22) has an open top end and a closed bottom end The second tube (22) is relatively bin,her than the first tube (7 i) The first tube (2!) and the second tube ¢7/.) arc communicated with each other in a transverse direction (N). The saucer is (3) connected to the top end of the second tube (22). 'fire pump motor (4) is communicated with the accommodation space () 3) and the bottom end of the first tube (21) The first light-emitting mem be i ¢5) is located inside ihe second lube (22) The second light-emitting member (6) is disposed on the outer surface (122) of ihe bottom plate (12) The powe; supply unit ¢7) is electrically connected with the first light-emitting member (5). the second light-emitting member (6), and the pump motor (4) tor supplying power So the first light-emitting member (>). tha.seeond light-emitting member 1%, and the pump motor (4). in this embodiment, the power supply unit (7) is provided with a timer (71), Furthermore, the present invention further comprises an outer cylinder (8) made of a light-pervious material or a transparent material. The power supply unit (7) is disposed m die cyjittdcr (8) The container (1) is disposed in the outer cylinder (8) anil located above the power simply unit (7),

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG 4. a fluid (9). such as water, if. [toured into the aceommodatibri space (13). Preferably, an essence is mixed in the fluid (‘0 to add a sense of srndl when used. When in use, die power supply unit (7) is turned on, such that the first light-emitting member (5) and the second light-emitting member (6) are actuated to emit light while the pump motor (4} is started. The pump motor (1 > pumps the fluid (9) from the accommodation space (13) to the first lube (21) the fluid (9) further flows in die transverse direction (\) from the first tube (21) to the second tube (22), and flows out from the top end of the second tube (22), and finally flows from the periphery of the saucer (3) into the accommodation space (13). At die same time, the light emitted from the first light-emitting member (3) and the second iig.hL-eniil.hng member (6) penetrates the fluid (9) to provide a visual cflcct oflight anil shadow. Wherein, die impact of the fluid (9) forms a protrusion like a candlcwick at the top end of the second tube (22). The first light-emitting member (5) is located msidc the second lube (22) as the light source of the candlcwick. such that the light source of die candlcwick is centralized and brighter. The saucer (3) is configured to bear a portion of the Quid (9) and show the visual effect of nielting way, so that the simuJatiori of the candle of die present invention is better. The fluid (9) flows in the timisverse direction (N) from the first;tube (21) to the second tube (22) to mitigate the impact of the fluid (9), which can prevent die fluid (9) from splashing out of the container (I) when the fluid (9) flows out of the top end of the second Lube (22). The inner (71) oi'the power supply unit (7) is adapted for setting ihc operating time. It is convenient for the user to use it. FIG. 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention, wliich is substantially similarto the first embodiment with the exceptions described hereinafter. This embodiment further has a flame-shaped shell (1ft) located on top of the saucer (3) and corresponding to the second tube (22). The flame-shaped shell (10) makes the appearance of die present invention more: similar to the candle and more pleasing.

Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may bo made without departing from the spirit and scope of die present invention . Accordingly,; the present invention is not to be limited except as by die appended claims.
