Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of the invention 
         [0002]    The present invention relates to a decorative product, and more particularly to a combinational storable decoration structure. 
         [0003]    2. Description of Related Art 
         [0004]    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. 
         [0005]    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. 
         [0006]    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. 
         [0007]    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 
       [0008]    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. 
         [0009]    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. 
         [0010]    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. 
         [0011]    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.

         [0024]    Referring to  FIG. 5  for an exploded view of a combinational storable decoration structure of the present invention, the decoration structure comprises the following components. The head portion  2  is an inverted concave groove disposed on the structure and covered onto the shoulder portion  3 . The head portion  2  comprises a plurality of head decorations  21 , a fifth containing groove  22 , a barrel-like portion  23 , and a top portion  24 . The head decorations  21  can be detachable components or fixed components, and if the head decorations  21  are detachable components, then a gluing or other adhering method can be used for connecting the head decorations with an external side of the barrel-like portion  23 . 
         [0025]    The width of the top portion  24  can be equal or unequal to the width of the barrel-like portion  23  depending on the user&#39;s preference, and the external side of the top portion  24  has a fifth containing groove  22  for containing the cap decoration  1 . Therefore, the width and depth of the fifth containing groove  22  are designed on the basis of fixing the cap decoration  1 . The exterior of the barrel-like portion  23  can be painted with various figures or patterns so as to achieve an artistic look. 
         [0026]    The shoulder portion  3  can be a hollow cylindrical body and comprises a fourth containing groove  31  and a fifth containing groove  32 . The fourth containing groove  31  can be used for fixing and sheathing the barrel-like portion  23  of the head portion  2 , and the fifth containing groove  32  can be used for fixing and sheathing the body portion  4 . In addition, the fourth containing groove  31  can also be sheathed and fixed by the barrel-like portion  23  of the head portion  2 , and the fifth containing groove (not shown in this embodiment) can also be fixed and sheathed by the body portion  4 . The foregoing assembly can be set according to a user&#39;s requirements. 
         [0027]    The body portion  4  is a concave groove comprised of a main body block  41  and a waist block  42 . The main body block  41  is a hollow cylindrical body, and includes a first connecting component  46  disposed separately on both sides of the body block  41 . The first connecting components  46  are provided for connecting the hand portions  5  having the corresponding second connecting components  51 , such that the hand portions  5  can hang from both sides of the body portion  4 . Therefore, the first connecting components  46  can be respectively connected with the second connecting components  51  by a screwing method, an insertion method, or a hanging method. 
         [0028]    The waist block  42  comprises a third containing groove  43 , a waist penetrating area  44 , and a second containing groove  45 . The hollow portions of the third containing groove  43  and the main body block  41  jointly form a containing space. The waist penetrating area  44  is disposed between the third containing groove  43  and the second containing groove  42  for penetrating the circuit rod  9  into the body portion  4 . The second containing groove  45  is provided for fixing and sheathing the leg portion  6 , wherein the leg portion  6  can be a hollow cylindrical body. 
         [0029]    The base  7  comprises at least one base fixing groove  72  and at least one first containing groove  71 . Each base fixing groove  72  is provided for fixing a circuit rod  9 , and thus the base fixing groove  72  can be a threaded groove or any other appropriate form of groove. The circuit rod  9  is comprised of a plurality of detachable connecting rods  91 , and each circuit rod  91  uses a set of corresponding third connecting components  94  and fourth connecting components  95  for the connection, and the circuit rod  9  comprises a plurality of lamps  92 , and an electric wire  93  for connecting each lamp  92 . Therefore, each connecting rod  91  can be connected by an insertion method or a screwing method. Each first containing groove  71  is provided for fixing the corresponding leg portion  6 , and thus the first containing groove  71  can be a circular groove or any other appropriate form of groove. 
         [0030]    In addition, the second containing groove  45 , the waist penetrating area  44 , the base fixing groove  72 , the first containing groove  71 , the circuit rods  9 , the connecting rod  91  comprised of the circuit rods  9 , and the number of lamps  92  on the circuit rod  9  can be designed according to a user&#39;s preference. 
         [0031]    For instance, the decoration structure of the invention has two leg portions  6 , which are two independent hollow cylindrical bodies constituting two leg portions  6 , and each leg portion  6  is fixed between the corresponding first containing groove  71  and the second containing groove  45 . The base  7  comprises two base fixing grooves  72  thereon, two waist penetrating areas  44  disposed in the waist block  42 , so that the two circuit rods  9  can be fixed into the base fixing groove  72 , and penetrate through the leg portion  6 , the body portion  4  and the head portion  2 . 
         [0032]    In addition, the cap decoration  1  is a detachable component which can be dissembled into a soft hood  11  and an elastic plate  12  as shown in  FIG. 6  (which is an exploded view of a cap decoration of a combinational storable decoration structure of the present invention). The elastic plate  12  can be a soft plastic sheet having a connecting portion disposed separately on both sides, so that a user can coil the elastic plate  12  into a cylindrical body by the connection portions, and the soft hood  11  can be covered onto the cylindrical body to form the cap decoration  1 , and the soft hood  11  can be made of a fabric material. 
         [0033]    Referring to  FIG. 7  a schematic view of storing a combinational storable decoration structure of the present invention is shown. A user has to detach each detachable component from the decoration structure first in order to store the combinational storable decoration structure, and then place the hand portion  5  into the leg portion  6 , fix the leg portion  6  to the base  7 , place the head portion  2  upside down into the body portion  4 , and fix the shoulder portion  2  onto the main body block  41 . Finally, the leg portions  6  (including the hand portions  5 ) connected to the base  7  together with the connecting rod  91  and its accessories (such as the elastic hood  11 , elastic plate  12  and head decoration  21 ) into the head portion  2  of the body portion  4 . 
         [0034]    Please refer to  FIG. 7A  for 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 lamp  92  of the present invention. The lamp  92  is an LED lamp. 
         [0035]    Please refer to  FIG. 8  for 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 chip  910 , a red lamp module  920 , a blue lamp module  930 , a green lamp module  940 , a power supply unit  970 , and a variable resistor  985  for controlling the operating time of the control circuit. The power supply unit  970  supplies a DC power from a pin  971  to the controller chip  910  so that the controller chip  910  can further control the operation sequence and light emission of the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930 , the green lamp module  940 , and the pin  973  are all grounded. 
         [0036]    The controller chip  910  controls the operation of the red lamp module  920  by the pin  921 , the operation of the blue lamp module  930  by the pin  931  and the operation of the green lamp module  940  by the pin  941 . The other end of each red lamp module  920 , each blue lamp module  930  and each green lamp module  940  are all grounded. 
         [0037]    The controller chip  910  further provides pins  951 ,  953  for controlling the switch point so that users can switch the operation circuit of the lamp  92  by a first switch  955 . In other words, the color change for the operation of the lamp  92  can be switched among two or three colors in this embodiment. If the first switch  955  is switched to pin  951 , the controller chip  910  will control the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930 , and the green lamp module  940  for a color change between two colors, but another lamp module will remain idle. 
         [0038]    Similarly, pins  961 ,  963  are provided for the controller chip  910  to switch the operation mode of the lamp  92  (which is the changing mode of the lamp  92 ) by the second switch  965 . For instance, if the pin  961  controls the alternately continuous blinking of the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930  or the green lamp module  940 , then the pin  963  will control the dimming of the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930  or the green lamp module  940 . If the second switch  965  is switched to the pin  961  to ground the pin  961 , then the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930  or the green lamp module  940  will produce a change of alternately continuous blinking according to the control of the controller chip  910 . If the second switch  965  is switched to the pin  963  to ground the pin  963 , the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930 , or the green lamp module  940  will dim according to the control of the controller chip  910 . 
         [0039]    Since the variable resistor  985  is connected to pins  981 ,  983 , the controller chip  910  can control the operation time of the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930 , or the green lamp module  940  according to different resistances of a variable resistor  985 . 
         [0040]    Please refer to  FIG. 9  for a schematic circuit diagram of an LED lamp circuit in a control circuit of the red lamp module  920 , the blue lamp module  930 , or the green lamp module  940  of a decoration structure of the present invention. 
         [0041]    The red lamp module  920  comprises a variable resistor  923 ,  929 , a control transistor  925 , and a red LED lamp  927 . The blue lamp module  930  comprises variable resistors  933  and  939 , a control transistor  935 , and a blue LED lamp  937 . The green lamp module  940  comprises a variable resistor  943 ,  949 , a control transistor  945 , and a green LED lamp  947 . 
         [0042]    If the first switch  955  is switched to the pin  951  to ground the pin  951 , the controller chip  910  will control the operation of the red lamp module  920 , blue lamp module  930  and green lamp module  940 . Therefore, if the control transistor  925  is connected to a constant voltage source VCC, the controller chip  910  will be able to transmit a signal to the control transistor  925  through the pin  921 , so that the control transistor  925  is electrically conducted to further conduct the red LED lamp  927  electrically. The switching direction of the first switch  955  can be preset. 
         [0043]    Similarly, the controller chip  910  can transmit a signal to the control transistor  935  through the pin  931  to electrically conduct the control transistor  935  as well as the blue LED lamp  937 . Alternatively, the controller chip  910  can transmit a signal to the control transistor  945  through the pin  941  to electrically conduct the control transistor  945  as well as the green LED lamp  947 . 
         [0044]    The operation time of each LED lamp is controlled by a variable resistor  985 , and the change of operation of each LED lamp is controlled by the switch of the second switch  965 . 
         [0045]    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 chip  910 , so as to further electrically conduct the LED lamps. Therefore, variable resistors  923 ,  929 ,  933 ,  939 ,  943 ,  949  can be substituted by a fixed resistor, and the quantity of red LED lamps  927 , blue LED lamps  937 , or green LED lamps  947  and each component of the LED lamp can be changed according to a user&#39;s requirements, and the colors of the LED lamps are not limited to those described here. 
         [0046]    Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others 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.
