  • Patent number: 5791775
    Abstract: A decorative illuminating mobile apparatus includes a support member that has an engaging surface that fits a generally flat adjacent anchoring surface such as a ceiling, floor, wall or the like. A first swivel member extends away from the support member. A plurality of separately rotatable appendages are connection sequentially together by a series of addition swivel members that space each appendage a part from another adjacent appendage and away from the support member engaging surface. This arrangement stacks the rotatable appendages vertically so there is a highest appendage and a lowest appendage with a plurality of appendages therebetween for example. At least some of the appendages include a light source that is powered by electricity. An electrical supply is provided for illuminating each light source, the electrical supply including rotational light electrical supply connection at the swivels.

  • Patent number: 5315909
    Abstract: A musical wind chime especially to one which generates music according to the appearance of the wind chime includes a wind chime body and a sound control circuit. A power source is used to supply the required electrical power to the sound control circuit. A wind control switch connected between the power source and the sound control circuit for responding to any wind to intermittently connect the power source to the sound control circuit and generating music therefrom. The wind control switch includes a circular conductor formed inside the wind chime body, a conductive rod hung therein but not contact with the circular conductor, and a conductive ball attached to the conductive rod such that when some wind occurs it causes the conductive ball to swing and contact with the circular conductor. A wind plate is suspended under the conductive ball for receiving wind force thereby driving the conductive ball to contact with the circular conductor.
