ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a water ball, and particularly to a water ball with a candle stand on the top thereof for receiving a short candle.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the conventional water-ball ornament, the neck of the glass ball is closed with a leak-proof rubber plug; the inner center of the glass ball is glued with an ornament; after the glass ball is filled with water, the glass ball will be mounted on a base; the water ball has a convex lens effect to enlarge the ornament therein.
The conventional ornament of the water ball is furnished with a transmission device or a music device in the base so as to provide a dynamic and variable decoration effect of the ornament in the water ball; such ornament may be artificial flakes, or a dynamic windmill, or a rotary ornament.
In a conventional water ball ornament, such as U.S. Patent No. 5,092,065, the top center of the glass ball of the water ball is mounted with a suitable ornament, which is an outer ornament of the water ball.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The prime object of the present invention is to provide a water ball structure, in which the top center of the glass ball of the water ball is furnished with a candle stand, and the center of the candle stand has a short cylindrical body with a diameter slightly larger than that of a candle so as to facilitate the candle to plug in. In addition to the ornamental effect, the water ball with a candle stand is mounted with a candle in the inner cylinder of the candle stand; after the candle is lighted up, the flame thereof and the ornament of the water ball will provide a combined decorative atmosphere.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a water ball structure, in which the candle stand furnished on the top center of the glass ball is connected together with a circular flat on the top of the glass ball; the upper opening of the cylindrical body of the candle stand is furnished with a petal-shaped rim; the diameter of the inner cylinder of the candle stand is slightly larger than that of the candle so as to facilitate the candle to plug in.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a water ball structure, in which the candle stand on the top center of the glass ball has a recess hole with a diameter slightly larger than that of the candle so as to facilitate the candle to plug in directly.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a water ball structure, in which the top global surface of the glass ball is attached with a candle stand that has a stem portion, and a short candle is to be plugged in the candle stand.
