BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a decorative product, and more particularly to a combinational storable decoration structure.

2. Description of Related Art

In the past, various different models of decorative products have generally adopted an integral structure or a detachable structure. Although the integral decorative products can be produced and manufactured quickly, the characteristics of an integral structure have also given rise to issues of large volume and inconvenient storage and transportation.

On the other hand, a detachable decoration structure provides a do-it-yourself mechanism for users to assemble the decorative products, but such an arrangement still cannot solve the aforementioned issues of occupying a large space and making storage and transportation of the product inconvenient.

Although the detachable decoration structure can be dissembled and assembled, the detached components still cannot be stored inside one another, and thus this kind of design does not help much in solving the storage and transportation issues.

The present invention provides a structure to overcome the foregoing shortcomings. Furthermore, the present invention applies to general LED circuit technology as decoration structure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing shortcomings, the present invention provides a combinational storable decoration structure, wherein detachable components including a head portion, a shoulder portion, a body portion, a leg portion and a hand portion are combined into a decoration structure. With the storing characteristic of the decoration structure, users can store each detachable component into the body portion to form a cylindrical body, so as to achieve convenient storage and transportation.

The combinational storable decoration structure of the invention comprises a hollow head portion; a shoulder portion for supporting the head portion; a body portion for supporting the shoulder portion, which is stored into the head portion when the body portion is stored; at least one leg portion for supporting the body portion, which is stored into the head portion when the leg portion is stored; and a plurality of hand portions connected to the body portion, which are stored into the leg portion when the hand portions are stored.

If a user wants to combine and store the decoration structure, the user has to detach each detachable component from the decoration structure. The hand portion is placed into the leg portion, and the leg portion is fixed onto the base, the head portion is then placed up-side down into the body portion, and the shoulder portion is fixed onto a main body block. Finally, the leg portion connected onto the base together with the hand portion is placed inside the head portion in the body portion.

To make it easier for our examiner to understand the innovative features and technical content, we use preferred embodiments together with the attached drawings for the detailed description of the invention, but it should be pointed out that the attached drawings are provided for reference and description but not for limiting the present invention.

Please refer toFIG. 7Afor a schematic top view of a combinational storable decoration structure of the present invention after the decoration structure has been stored. The decoration structure includes a lamp with various different light patterns, and thus a control circuit (not shown in the figure) is provided for illustrating the operation of the lamp92of the present invention. The lamp92is an LED lamp.

Please refer toFIG. 8for a schematic block diagram of an LED lamp control circuit of a decoration structure of the present invention. The control circuit of a serially connected light emitting lamp comprises a controller chip910, a red lamp module920, a blue lamp module930, a green lamp module940, a power supply unit970, and a variable resistor985for controlling the operating time of the control circuit. The power supply unit970supplies a DC power from a pin971to the controller chip910so that the controller chip910can further control the operation sequence and light emission of the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930, the green lamp module940, and the pin973are all grounded.

The controller chip910controls the operation of the red lamp module920by the pin921, the operation of the blue lamp module930by the pin931and the operation of the green lamp module940by the pin941. The other end of each red lamp module920, each blue lamp module930and each green lamp module940are all grounded.

The controller chip910further provides pins951,953for controlling the switch point so that users can switch the operation circuit of the lamp92by a first switch955. In other words, the color change for the operation of the lamp92can be switched among two or three colors in this embodiment. If the first switch955is switched to pin951, the controller chip910will control the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930, and the green lamp module940for a color change between two colors, but another lamp module will remain idle.

Similarly, pins961,963are provided for the controller chip910to switch the operation mode of the lamp92(which is the changing mode of the lamp92) by the second switch965. For instance, if the pin961controls the alternately continuous blinking of the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930or the green lamp module940, then the pin963will control the dimming of the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930or the green lamp module940. If the second switch965is switched to the pin961to ground the pin961, then the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930or the green lamp module940will produce a change of alternately continuous blinking according to the control of the controller chip910. If the second switch965is switched to the pin963to ground the pin963, the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930, or the green lamp module940will dim according to the control of the controller chip910.

Since the variable resistor985is connected to pins981,983, the controller chip910can control the operation time of the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930, or the green lamp module940according to different resistances of a variable resistor985.

Please refer toFIG. 9for a schematic circuit diagram of an LED lamp circuit in a control circuit of the red lamp module920, the blue lamp module930, or the green lamp module940of a decoration structure of the present invention.

The red lamp module920comprises a variable resistor923,929, a control transistor925, and a red LED lamp927. The blue lamp module930comprises variable resistors933and939, a control transistor935, and a blue LED lamp937. The green lamp module940comprises a variable resistor943,949, a control transistor945, and a green LED lamp947.

If the first switch955is switched to the pin951to ground the pin951, the controller chip910will control the operation of the red lamp module920, blue lamp module930and green lamp module940. Therefore, if the control transistor925is connected to a constant voltage source VCC, the controller chip910will be able to transmit a signal to the control transistor925through the pin921, so that the control transistor925is electrically conducted to further conduct the red LED lamp927electrically. The switching direction of the first switch955can be preset.

Similarly, the controller chip910can transmit a signal to the control transistor935through the pin931to electrically conduct the control transistor935as well as the blue LED lamp937. Alternatively, the controller chip910can transmit a signal to the control transistor945through the pin941to electrically conduct the control transistor945as well as the green LED lamp947.

The operation time of each LED lamp is controlled by a variable resistor985, and the change of operation of each LED lamp is controlled by the switch of the second switch965.

Although the LED lamp module of the present invention uses one LED lamp, two variable resistors, and one control transistor to achieve the operation and timing of the LED lamp modules, the present invention is not limited to such arrangement. Any appropriate combination of resistors, transistors and LED lamps can be used for electrically conducting the transistor according to the signal provided by the controller chip910, so as to further electrically conduct the LED lamps. Therefore, variable resistors923,929,933,939,943,949can be substituted by a fixed resistor, and the quantity of red LED lamps927, blue LED lamps937, or green LED lamps947and each component of the LED lamp can be changed according to a user's requirements, and the colors of the LED lamps are not limited to those described here.
