Abstract
A candle stand detects the candlelight from a candle and provides audio and visual effect according to the detected candlelight. The candle stand has a through hole thereon and a light detector corresponding to the through hole. The light detector detects light from the candle through the through hole and triggers a controller to provide audio and visual effect.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a candle stand, especially to a candle stand, which detects the candlelight and provides audio and visual effect according to the detected candlelight.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- The conventional candle stand is generally a fixed structure and functions only for mounting candle. Therefore, the conventional candle stand cannot provide dynamic effect for decoration.
- To overcome the drawback of the conventional and provide add-on function to the candle stand, the present invention provides a candle stand, which has a light detector to detect the candlelight and provides audio and visual effect according to the detected candlelight and with the help of a controller, thus providing dynamic decoration effect.
- The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing, in which:
- FIG. 1 is the perspective view of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is the sectional view of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 3 shows the circuit diagram of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 4 shows sectional view of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention; and
- FIG. 5 is the perspective view of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- With reference now to FIG. 1, the present invention is intended to provide a candle stand with audio and visual effect. As shown in this figure, the
candle stand 2 comprises aswitch 35, a volume-adjustingknob 34 and anLED indication lamp 32. The topside of thecandle stand 2 can be used to mount a candle. - With reference to FIG. 2, a
candle 1 is placed atop thecandle stand 2 and thecandle stand 2 has a throughhole 21 at center part thereof and corresponding to thecandle 1. Alight detector 31 is placed within thecandle stand 2 and corresponding to the throughhole 21. When thecandle 1 is lighted on, thelight detector 31 can detect the light emitted from thecandle 1 and then triggers acontroller 3. The controller then commands theLED indication lamp 32 to emit decoration light, or commands aloud speaker 33 to play musical effect. More particular, thecandle 1 contains a candlewick 11 and anoptical fiber 12 parallel to the candlewick 11. Thecandle 1 is placed atop asupportive tray 13 on thecandle stand 2, and thesupportive tray 13 has ahole 131 through which the bottom end of theoptical fiber 12 passes. When the candlewick 11 of thecandle 1 is burned, part of the candlelight is guided by theoptical fiber 12 and emits from the bottom end of theoptical fiber 12. The light emitted from the bottom end of theoptical fiber 12 is detected by thelight detector 31. - With reference now to FIG. 3, after the
light detector 31 detects the light emitted from the bottom end of theoptical fiber 12, thelight detector 31 triggers thecontroller 3. Thecontroller 3 generates a musical signal and sends the signal to theloud speaker 33 to provide audio effect and simultaneously trigger theLED indication lamp 32 to provide visual effect. The loudness of theloud speaker 33 is controlled by the volume-adjustingknob 34. The electrical power supplying to thecandle stand 2 is provided from apower source 30 connected through theswitch 35 to thecandle stand 2. - FIG. 4 shows sectional view of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the
candle stand 2 is provided with athermal sensor 40. Thethermal sensor 40 can detect the radiated heat when the candlewick 11 of thecandle 1 is burned and then triggers thecontroller 3. Thecontroller 3 generates a musical signal and sends the signal to theloud speaker 33 and simultaneously trigger theLED indication lamp 32. Moreover, a thermal conductive metal rod 4 is provided parallel to thecandlewick 11 of thecandle 1 and the lower end of the thermal conductive metal rod 4 is in contact with thethermal sensor 40 through thehole 131 on thesupportive tray 13. - FIG. 5 is the perspective view of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention. The candle stand2 in this preferred embodiment of the present invention is of L-shape and comprises a
vertical part 23 and ahorizontal part 22 for placement of acandle 1. Thevertical part 23 has a throughhole 21 corresponding to the position of thecandle 1 and alight detector 31 is placed within thethrough hole 21. Thelight detector 31 detects the light emitted from thecandle 1, and then triggers the controller 3 (not shown) to activate audio and visual effect. - The
light detector 31 is adapted to have detecting wavelength matching with the emitting wavelength of the candlelight, thus reducing noise from background light. - Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have suggested in the foregoing description, and other will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
