  • Patent number: 5276937
    Abstract: A pressure increasing and warning aid for coupling to an automobile windshield wiper is provided. The device includes an opaque longitudinally extended wind pressure blade having a streamlined contour, and an illumination assembly disposed lengthwise therein. The light source of the illumination assembly is connected to the windshield wiper circuit. On a rainy day, as the windshield wiper operates, the wind pressure blade will be influenced by wind pressure, and will add to the wiper's action pressure, while simultaneously the illumination assembly will forwardly direct warning lights to other vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5251391
    Abstract: An illuminant photo frame, comprising: a transparent frame body constituted by elongated lines and cross lines respectively having a back side created with a plurality of integrant 45.degree. prisms in more than one flight of stages to collectively form a certain pattern, a recess arranged at the back side of the naturally met elongated and cross lines in cross opposition to the other for installing a small bulb each thereat, and a photoresistance in control of electricity supply to small bulbs to have them transmit lights automatically at night, which sent from two sides of each recess to travel forward alongside elongated and cross lines will make an internal total reflection at each 45.degree. slant of the prism to project out of the front side, thereby, with a crystal illumination given to the pattern. And the electricity supply will automatically cease at daytime.

  • Patent number: 5228223
    Abstract: A license plate for Malaysian motorcycle, comprising a main body connected by two light-piercing boards together in a symmetric way, each with a full covering of 45.degree. prisms in more than one flight of stages on the back side; an opaque, white ground plate clamped therebetween; an opaque, blank vacant number plate connected to the main body front side respectively; a transparent waterproof hood enclosing them all, and a PC board which includes a plurality of small bulbs on it connected in a seat body for the main body. Upon energization of PC board, a license plate number in black-ground-white-letter style on either side of the license plate will be illuminated greatly and in even brightness.

  • Patent number: 5181775
    Abstract: A non-polluting firecracker device having a plurality of firecracker units in a manner that each two form one set respectively strung on a major power lead, whose upper end extends into a control box where it connects with the sound-and-light circuit of a PC board thereof. Each firecracker unit consists of a firecracker-shaped casing through which light can penetrate and a small flash bulb in it. As the circuit is energized, there will be continued firecracker bursting sounds and, in the meantime, flashes sent out from bottom to top in an orderly, repeated way. This way, the same effects of letting off firecrackers are obtained but without generating trash and noxious gases. In addition, it may be used repeatedly to save money.

  • Patent number: 5084803
    Abstract: A toy lamp comprises a transparent housing cover, a casing containing revolution driving assemblies, a revolving frame to drive a revolving ball into crosswise revolution, a revolving frame crosswise driving assembly, a revolving ball having a plurality of translucent openings from which differently colored light beams are transmitted, a revolving ball lengthwise driving assembly, a power supply unit for a light bulb inside of the revolving ball and a casing base with shockproof function. The revolving ball inside the housing could revolve in both crosswise and lengthwise directions slowly upon supply of electricity and out of a plurality of translucent openings of its ball wall transmit an interlaced moving of the light beams in different colors. It could be used as light source in a paper fancy lantern or utilized alone in alternative.

  • Patent number: 5075826
    Abstract: An auxiliary brake lamp and night lamp mounted on the deck above the trunk and behind the car's rear seat. The lamp has an opaque, hollow light seat which is made with two penetrating flutes for engaging two transparent boards in its upper part. A PC board is housed in the light seat beneath both penetrating flutes and has two rows of small bulbs which emit light into the penetrating flutes and the lower edges of the engaged boards. One of the boards is crimson, flat and has a plurality of parallel grooves on its back side which causes light passing through the board's edge to collectively form a warning on its front side. The second board is colorless, flat and has a plurality of parallel grooves on its back side which causes light passing through the board's edge to form a decorative pattern on its front side.
