Publication number: 20030089006Abstract: A liquid-containing ornament includes a container containing one single type of liquid or two types of mutually indissoluble liquids having different densities and colors. The liquid flows down from the container into a chamber below the container via a low liquid outlet. A set of rotating blades having magnets attached on one side of the blades is mounted in the chamber, and a rotary disc driven to rotate by a motor and having magnets attached thereto is located outside the chamber corresponding to the set of rotating blades. When the rotary disc is rotated, it magnetically rotates the set of rotating blades to drive the liquid in the chamber into the container via a high liquid inlet, so that the liquid circulates in the container. Different decorations are provided in the container along a path of the circulating liquid flow to create changeful and dynamic scenes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2001Publication date: May 15, 2003Inventor: Vincent Kuo-Wei Lee

Patent number: 6253945Abstract: A container including independent main container unit and liquid-ornament unit that are separably connected to each other. The main container unit is formed by blow molding and can therefore have diversified configurations. Retaining means, such as collar and protruded key, and an open space may be formed outside the main container unit at the time the latter is formed. The liquid-ornament container has a configuration corresponding to the open space and can therefore be easily assembled to the main container unit by fitting it into the open space and holding it in place with the collar and key.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1999Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Inventor: Vincent Kuo Wei Lee

Patent number: 6203394Abstract: An ornamental liquid color box includes stationary clear containers fixedly mounted on a cover of a seat. Propellers are provided on the seat to propel liquid colors flowing into the seat to liquid passages that are led to upper storing zones of the containers. Liquid colors sent to the upper storing zones then moves into narrowed middle display zones to form flattened and irregular drips before reaching lower storing zones of the containers and entering the seat again to complete a cycle of movement of the liquid colors in the liquid color box. The whole liquid color box need not be manually or mechanically turned to maintain continuous circulation of the liquid colors in the liquid color box. The propellers are driven to rotate by driving means that may be coil windings or a combination of a motor and magnet-loaded driving and driven gear wheels. No leakproof means, such as shaft seals, are required for the liquid color box.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2000Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Inventor: Vincent Kuo Wei Lee

Patent number: 6003392Abstract: A driving mechanism of a wave-producing ornament is mounted in a base of the ornament and includes a motor which rotates a disc. A connecting link is pivotally connected at a first end to an outer periphery of the disc and at a second end to a lower end of a push bar. The push bar is located in a channel integrally formed on the base of the ornament and has a round head projects from a top opening of the channel to contact with an end of a liquid container of the ornament above the base. When the disc rotates, it brings the connecting link to move in a circular motion and pull and push the push bar to descend and ascend along the channel reciprocatingly. Whereby, the liquid container is periodically lifted and lowered at one end by the round head of the push bar to produce waves in the container.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1998Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Inventor: Vincent Kuo Wei Lee

Patent number: 5946968Abstract: A swing mechanism for wave-producing ornament. The ornament includes a base and a liquid container and the swing mechanism is mounted inside the base with a top container holder projecting from the base to fixedly connect the liquid container thereto. The swing mechanism includes a round disc which is rotated by a motor in the base of the ornament, a connecting rod pivotally connected to the round disc near an outer periphery thereof, and a sleeve defining a downward open cylindrical inner space with a narrowed lower end for an upper half part of the connecting rod to extend into. The upper half part of the connecting rod are two upward extended arms which slide up and down in the cylindrical inner space like a piston. When the round disc is rotated, the connecting rod moves in circumferential movement, bringing the sleeve and accordingly the liquid container fixedly connected to a top of the sleeve to swing relative to the base of the ornament.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1998Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Inventor: Vincent Kuo Wei Lee

Patent number: 5923623Abstract: An arrangement for detachably attaching an ornamental container to a wrist watch includes a supporting frame for the ornamental container to detachably connect thereto, and two thin and soft strips with transversely spaced teeth provided on an inner surface thereof. The strips are threaded through slots formed on corner lugs of the supporting frame in predetermined steps, so that the strips extend across below the wrist watch to easily but firmly and detachably tie the supporting frame to a top of the wrist watch.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1998Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Inventor: Vincent Kuo Wei Lee

Patent number: 5850373Abstract: A transmission mechanism for a magnet-bearing ornament, in which a clock main spring barrel serves to provide power required by the ornament to show a dynamic scene. The clock main spring barrel has a second wheel to replace a conventional second hand. The second wheel has a large number of teeth provided along its circumferential surface and meshes with a small driven gear to cause the latter to rotate at a high speed. The small driven gear may then cause a magnet-bearing member to coaxially rotate with it via a rotating shaft of the gear connected to the magnet-bearing member. Alternatively, the small driven gear is provided with a major rotational disc having magnets attached thereto. When the small driven gear rotates, the major rotational disc rotates synchronously to magnetically rotate the magnet-bearing member behind a background board of the ornament disposed between the clock main spring barrel and a front showing space.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1997Date of Patent: December 15, 1998Inventor: Vincent Kuo Wei Lee

Patent number: 5652736Abstract: Disclosed is an ornamental container detachably attached to a wrist watch. The ornamental container is pivotally connected to an upper supporting frame which cooperates with a pair of lower U-shaped fixing members to sandwich a watch case of the wrist watch between them. The ornamental container is filled with ornamental articles, such as cute floating articles drifting on dual-liquid, and is normally closed to the supporting frame over the dial of the wrist watch. When a werarer wants to check time, the ornamental container can be pivotally lifted to expose the dial.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1996Date of Patent: July 29, 1997Inventor: Vincent Kuo Wei Lee
