  • Publication number: 20050011096
    Abstract: The invention provides a structure of decorative panel for inserted-in photographs (or pictures), which includes a panel and a plurality of through holes that have different shapes and are located on the surface of the panel. Besides, the size of each through hole is smaller than that of a photo (or picture) or a picture card so that the main body of the photo (or picture) or the picture card can be displayed therein. In addition, a U-shaped receiving slot is provided at the backside of the panel corresponding to the bottom and two lateral sides of one of the through holes, wherein the receiving slot is for a photo (or picture) or a picture card to be inserted in. Finally, a back panel is to be attached to the backside of the panel so that different photos can be easily inserted into and removed from the panel without applying any glue.

  • Publication number: 20020176260
    Abstract: A versatile illuminating adornment consists of at least one outer tube housed a transparent inner tube inside and a pedestal to support the outer tube and center rod. The pedestal has a light source element located therein. The outside appearance of the outer tube may be formed in various shapes desired. The center rod has the periphery embossed with bulged and dented patterns and coated with different colors. The light source element may project light on the patterns of the center rod to generate illumination of different colors on the patterns, thus forming an adornment equipped with a light source. The adornment also may be made handheld.
