Title: Structure of an adornment

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to decorative art and more particularly to a structure of an adornment which contains two kinds of liquids of different specific gravities and ornaments. When swings the adornment or puts it upside down, the liquids such as water and oil provide convectional effect to affect the ornaments moving inside the container in order to give great fun on the sense of sight. 
     Most of the similar adornments are structurally too simple. It could not be always attractive. Although, some of the producers use an electrical bar to stir the liquid in order to create waves. But the result is not so ideal. 
     SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
     The structure of an adornment of the present invention comprises generally a base and a rotatable transparent container containing two kinds of liquids of different specific gravities and the ornaments, a disk projected upward from the base having a motor to drive the container to rotate and at least a small lamp. The container has a circular transparent locus, a plurality of transparent windows and paintings on the back. The base has a clock, a pair swivel buttons and microphone for broadcasting the musics. When the container is rotating, the waves are aroused on the surface of the water and the transparent locus together with the transparent windows provide glinting effect. 
     Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is to provide a structure of an adornment in which the waves are aroused by rotation of the container and provides glinting effect. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure of an adornment which can broadcast the musics and announce the time. 
     The present invention will become more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description thereof when read in conjunction with the attached drawings. 
    
    
     BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
     FIG. 1 is a perspective view to show an adornment of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, 
     FIG. 2 is an elevation view of FIG. 1, 
     FIG. 3 is a side view and partially sectional view of FIG. 1, and 
     FIG. 4 is a side view of FIG. 1 indicating that a frame may attach to the front of the container. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     With reference to FIGS. 1,  2  and  3  of the drawings, the structure of an adornment  10  of the present invention comprises generally a base  11  and a rotatable transparent circular container  12 . The base can stand on a desk and has clock  111 , a microphone  113  and a pair of swivel buttons  112  which connect to a circuit and a battery chamber (not shown) inside the base  11 . A disk  114  projected upward from the base  11  including a mini-motor  115  in the center connected respectively to the circuit and the rotatable transparent circular container  12  via an axis  116  and controlled by the buttons  112  one of which turns on the motor  115  and controls its speed, the other of which controls the microphone  113 . The container  12  contains two liquids of different specific gravities such as the water  121  and the oil  122 , a buoy ornament such as a sail boat  123  disposed at the interface between water  121  and the oil  122 , due to the specific gravity, the sail boat always buoys on the water  121 , a painting on the inner surface of the container  12  including clouds  124  and birds  125  averagely dispersed spaced apart and visible through the transparent oil  122  but invisible through the blue water  121  a plurality of small transparent windows  126  in the painting, a transparent circular locus  127  concentrically disposed in the back which is enclosed by a pair of concentric protrudent circles and a wave like flange  128  projected inward from the edge of the container  12 . When rotating the container  12  the water  121  and oil  122  bump on the wave lick flange  128  will make waves there-between. Further, a small lamp or LED  117  on the disk  114  has the light to pass through the small transparent windows  126  and the locus  127  to provide a glinting effect. 
     Based on the above discussed structure, when in the broad daylight, the lamp  117  will be adjusted to be more bright as a sunshine through the locus  127 . When in the night, the lamp  117  will be adjusted to be obscure as a moon light and stars on the back of the container  12 . The microphone  113  broadcasts the music sounding as billows. The motor  115  will drive the container  12  to rotate at every hour for a certain minutes. 
     Referring to FIG. 4, a frame  118  may be attached to the disk  114  and the base  11 . The frame  118  has a diameter larger than that of the container  12  and plurality of LED  119  spacedly disposed on the front edges. The LED  119  is provided to light the container  12  and can be glintted together with the small lamp  117 . 
     The specification relating to the above embodiment should be construed as exemplary rather than as limitative of the present invention,with many variations and modifications being readily attainable by a person of average skill in the art without departing from the spirit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
