Publication number: 20110041669Abstract: An automated ornament includes a power source coupled to a drive shaft that provides rotatory power about a drive axis. The drive shaft is coupled to a first drive gear, which engages a second idler gear such that rotation of the first gear in one direction causes the second gear to rotate in the opposite direction. A third driven gear engages the second gear such that rotation of the second gear in one direction causes the third gear to rotate in the opposite direction. The gear ratio of the first gear to the third gear is at least two to one. When the automated ornament is supported by support means, the power source causes an ornamental housing to rotate about the support means via the first, second, and third gears. The power source also can cause a sound module to produce musical notes via a subsidiary gear train.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2009Publication date: February 24, 2011Applicant: Mr. Christmas IncorporatedInventors: Terry Hermanson, Huang Meng-Suen

Publication number: 20110036190Abstract: A driving mechanism of a steering wheel includes a sector gear driven by a gear shaft to rotate on a gear shaft linked together with the sector gear, and a displacement plate having one end fixed with the gear plate shaft and another end pivotally connected with two directional pull rods that are further connected with a directional joint of two front wheels respectively. When a steering wheel is turned left or right, the gear shaft is to be rotated to simultaneously drive the sector gear and the gear shaft to turn around, so that the displacement plate, the directional pull rods, the directional joints and the front wheels can be concurrently driven to undertake an angular displacement for changing a car's direction. Thus, the driving mechanism of the invention has a relatively small size, with cost lowered as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2009Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: Aeon Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hui-Hui HUANG, Wen Ru TSENG

Publication number: 20100317253Abstract: A rotating structure capable of revolution and rotation includes a base, a gear device mounted on the base, and an ornament coupled to a rotation shaft of the gear device. The present invention uses the gear device to turn the ornament. The gear device has another rotation shaft fixed to the base. When an external force is applied to turn the gear device, the gear device will generate power for the ornament to rotate itself and to move around, providing a dual effect of rotation and revolution. By the difference between the two rotational speeds, the present invention provides a novel vision effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2009Publication date: December 16, 2010Inventor: Ming-Tay HSU
