Title: Luminescent cap that possesses a function for replacing patterns

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is a type of luminescent cap that possesses a function for replacing patterns. A frame that allows placement of objects is securely installed on the front edge of the cap. In the frame that allows placement of objects are inserted a luminescent board that emits luminescence and a pattern card. The luminescence that is emitted by the luminescent board is able, by means of a transparent position of the pattern card, to produce the effect of a luminescent pattern. Users are also able, according to need, to remove and replace pattern cards of different patterns, causing the cap to have greater practical value. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Some of the patterns of conventional caps are fixed in position by printing or embroidery. At night or under conditions of insufficient light, the pattern on the cap cannot be recognized. In the conventional art, a luminescent device might be added, but the pattern is still in a fixed condition and cannot be replaced. Therefore, how to provide a lively and ingenious function for replacing patterns by means of a simple, convenient, and reliable device structure is a problem that the industry has been hoping to solve. In view of the fact that conventional caps are unable to meet the diversified needs of present users, the inventor of the present invention devoted himself to research and repeatedly performed tests and made improvements. Now, finally, he has developed a type of luminescent cap that possesses a function for replacing patterns in order that the defect of monotony and dullness of conventional products be truly remedied. 
     PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION 
     The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a type of luminescent cap that possesses a function for replacing patterns. A frame that allows placement of objects is securely installed on the front edge of the cap. In the frame that allows placement of objects are inserted a luminescent board that emits luminescence and a pattern card. The luminescence that is emitted by the luminescent board is able, by means of a transparent position of the pattern card, to produce the effect of a luminescent pattern. Users are also able, according to need, to replace the card with pattern cards of different patterns, causing the cap to have greater practical value.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     First of all, the present invention provides a type of luminescent cap that possesses a function for replacing patterns. It primarily comprises these structural components: a cap (10), a frame that allows placement of objects (20), a luminescent board (30), a battery assembly (40), a circuit board (50), and a pattern card (60). Of these: The cap (10). Please consult FIG. 1. One side of said cap (10) provides a pocket that allows placement of an object (11). Please consult FIGS. 2 and 3. Inside the frame that allows placement of objects (20) is provided a hollow, bi-level slot that allows placement of objects (21). Said frame that allows placement of objects (20) provides a rectangular slot aperture (22) on the left-side corner of the edge of the base. Furthermore, said frame that allows placement of objects (20) provides a semi-circular slot aperture (23) in the center of the left side of the frame, and each of the four corners of the frame that allows placement of objects (20) provides a circular aperture (24) that passes through from one side to the other. 
     Please consult FIG. 4. The luminescent board (30) is connected to one circuit board (50) by a connecting wire (41) between it and the battery assembly (40), thereby enabling the luminescent board (30), by means of the electricity supplied by the battery assembly (40), to emit luminescence for more than 72 hours continuously. (Said luminescent board (30), battery assembly (40), and circuit board (50) are commonly-known products. A thorough and detailed description of their technical characteristics will not be separately provided.) 
     Please consult FIG. 5. Said luminescent board (30) is first inserted into the frame that allows placement of objects (20), and then the pattern card (60) is inserted into the frame that allows placement of objects. Said pattern card (60) is superimposed on the luminescent board (30). The pattern portion of said pattern card (60) is transparent and permits the transmission of light. The non-pattern portion does not permit the transmission of light. That is, the luminescence emitted by the luminescent board (30) can, by means of the transparent portion of the pattern card (60), exhibit the needed pattern. 
     THE BEST EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention, by means of first inserting the luminescent board (30) into the frame that allows placement of objects (20) and then inserting the pattern card (60) into the frame that allows placement of objects (20), with said frame that allows placement of objects (20) being fastened by screws to the front end of the cap (10) by means of four set screws inserted through the circular apertures (24) of the four corners of the frame that allows placement of objects (20), and then by placing the battery assembly (40) in the pocket that allows placement of an object (11) on one side of the cap (10), is assembled into one entire structure thereby, such that users may, according to need, remove and replace pattern cards (60) and thereby achieve the new design for replacing patterns. 
     In summary, the practical effect of the present invention is truly superior to that of conventional products. The fact that patterns can be replaced by removing and replacing pattern cards especially adds to the interesting and diversified effect. Furthermore, no disclosure of a product or publication which is the same as the present invention has been seen. The requirements for making a patent application have been complied with. I sincerely ask an examination and that the patent be granted. I would greatly appreciate such kindness.
