ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wheel with sound and light effects, wherein a plurality of lamps are installed at the spoke of a wheel. Each lamp is installed with a magnetic receiving element made by winding a coil. Each magnetic receiving element is connected to a capacitor and a light emitting element. Two outer sides of the rim each are installed with a magnetic element and are locked to the fork.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The U.S. patent Ser. No. 09/383,441, “Activating device for light—emitting wheel”, referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2
, discloses a wheel with sound and light effects, which comprises the following components.
A wheel body
30
includes a hub
31
, a plurality of spokes
32
, and a rim
33
. The hub
31
is installed at a center of the wheel body
30
. The plurality of spokes
32
are firmly secured to the outer periphery of the hub
31
. The rim
33
is firmly secured to the periphery of the plurality of spokes
32
.
A sound light generating element
40
is firmly secured to the internal of the spoke
32
and includes a selective touch moving device
41
with proper wires therein, a sound element
42
and at least one battery
43
. The touch moving device
41
includes a housing
414
, two conductive pieces
412
and a touch moving element
413
. The housing is installed with an upper cover
414
. The two conductive pieces
412
have the same structure and the bottoms thereof are tilt and curved. The condutive pieces are firmly secured to the housing
411
, so that the two guide pieces are face to one another and the bottoms thereof are left with a proper distance. Then, a touch moving element
413
is two conductive pieces
412
and then an upper cover
414
covers thereon.
A plurality of light emitting element
50
are firmly secured to the rim
33
.
A plurality of electric wires
60
are connected to the plurality of light emitting element
50
and the sound light generating element
40
.
Thereby, as the wheel body
30
rotates, the touch moving element
413
will roll out by eccentric force, so that the two conductive pieces
412
will conductive and then battery
43
supplies power, so that each light emitting element
50
lights up.
However, the aforesaid structure is only suitable for a small wheel, skate wheel, not suitable for the wheel of a large car. The circuit of the wheel with sound and light effects must have a battery as power supply so as to generate sound and light effects as the wheel is rotated. If no battery or power, then this effect will not work.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a wheel with sound and light effects for improving U.S. patent U.S. Ser. No. 09/383,441, wherein the wheel with sound and light effects includes a fork for supporting a wheel, a magnetic element, and a plurality of lamps. A plurality of lamps are installed at the spoke of a wheel. Each lamp is installed with a magnetic receiving element made by winding a coil. Each magnetic receiving element is connected to a capacitor and a light emitting element. Two outer sides of the rim each are installed with a magnetic element and are locked to the fork. Thereby, a rotating wheel may light up in the whole cycle as rotation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a wheel with sound and light effects, a rotating wheel may light up in the whole cycle as rotation even no power is supplied from a battery.
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.
