ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
This invention is a type of musical rotating luminous device. More specifically, it freely turns and flashes an eye-catching light, making it a safely interesting and a visually beautiful children's toy.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Economic growth increases society's diversity as well as people's standard of living, there is an ever growing number of products available to the public. Since children are our nation's future leaders, children's toys and articles of necessity flood the market. Parents are offered a wide variety of toy cars, dolls, building blocks and other toys. Therefore, this ‘Sunrise Industry’ of children's toys, is an expanding business opportunity, which is being actively plied by entrepreneurs.
Most children love today's average musical toy. However, their functions do not go beyond the installation of a musical device that is assembled within, as well as an attractive light. Nevertheless, some children's musical toys produce too much noise and their applications don't meet manufacturing standards, which easily cause harm to children. Additionally, some light-producing children's toys focus their light on a single point or single surface, making it unable to show any beauty and causing a waste of electricity.
Due to the conventional children toys' drawbacks, this inventor drew from many years of experience in the children's toy industry and from professional technology, in order to invent this new musical rotating luminous device.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main purpose of this invention is to offer a type of free turning as well as a flashing, colorful and eye-catching luminous device, which is a safely interesting and visually beautiful, multi functional musical rotating luminous device. This invention is composed of a base, retarding device, rotating stand, outer shell and luminous device. During operations, a battery within the base powers a motor that drives the retarding device. The central shaft within the said rotating stand is connected to the retarding device. One end of the central shaft is attached to a drive sprocket while the other end is mounted upon a disk's rotary wheel. Additionally, each containment space's corner has a plurality of shaft rods piercing through the disk. At the end of each shaft rod are drive sprockets of different diameter sizes. Between the shaft rods and the central shaft the drive sprocket engages with a plurality of driven sprockets, whereby the driven force is transferred. The base, retarding device and the rotating stand are housed within the outer shell. Additionally, a luminous device is fitted into the outer shell's fastening section. As its running, the drive sprockets of different diameters drive the central shaft and shaft rods at different rotating speeds. Also, the luminous device illuminates a colorful, eye-catching light.
