  • Publication number: 20080150440
    Abstract: An LED light string with guaranteed conduction has a plurality of LEDs connected in series to form a light string. Both ends of the light string are connected with a power supply to form a closed circuit. Each LED on the light string is connected with a bypass element in parallel. The bypass element can be a Zener diode with a forward voltage higher than that of the LED. When any LED on the light string fails, the current still flows through the circuit via the corresponding bypass element. Therefore, the light string is guaranteed to be conductive even when some of the LED's are broken.

  • Patent number: 7311581
    Abstract: An inflatable Ferris wheel that can be rotated by a motor has a base having a pedestal chamber connected to two sidewall chambers, and an inflatable wheel having two end-plate chambers connected to a central hub chamber. A major hollow shaft is located through the end-plate chambers of the inflatable wheel to rotatably mount the wheel in the open space defined by the sidewalls of the base. Multiple ornaments are attached to minor hollow shafts and rotatably mounted to the inflatable wheel. A blower-fan mounted on a seat is connected to an intake pipe at one of the sidewall chambers to inflate the Ferris wheel. A motor with an arbor is located inside one of the sidewall chambers and is attached to the major hollow shaft. The motor rotates the inflatable wheel and the ornaments to create a dynamic sight and an exciting atmosphere.

  • Publication number: 20070234604
    Abstract: An inflatable doll display has a barrel and a doll. The barrel has an inner wall and an outer wall, and a board transversely provided in an interior of the barrel to form an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The fabric doll is provided on the board and has a plane transversely provided in a middle portion of the doll to form an upper part and a lower part. An inflator is mounted in the lower chamber and has a first tube which is received between the inner wall and the outer wall, and a second tube which is inserted into the lower part. A first end of a third tube is inserted into the barrel and a second end of the third tube is inserted into the upper part. Hence, with the alternating operation of the inflator, the doll is raised or lowered to achieve an attractive effect.
