Abstract

The present invention provides a type of luminescent cap that possesses a function for replacing patterns. A frame that allows placement of objects is securely installed on the front edge of the cap. A luminescent board that emits luminescence and a pattern card are inserted in the frame that allows placement of objects. The luminescence emitted by said luminescent board can, through the transparent position of the pattern card, produce the effect of a luminescent pattern. Users are also able, according to need, to remove and replace pattern cards of different patterns, causing the cap to have greater practical value.

Claims

1. A type of luminescent cap with a function for replacing patterns which primarily comprises:

a cap,

a frame that allows placement of objects,

a luminescent board,

a battery assembly,

a circuit board, and

a pattern card;

wherein

one side of said cap includes a pocket that allows placement of an object,

said frame that allows placement of objects includes a hollow, bi-level slot to facilitate placement of objects, said frame that allows placement of objects also includes a rectangular slot aperture on a left-side corner of an edge of a base thereof, said frame that allows placement of objects further includes a semi-circular slot aperture in a central area of a left side of said frame, and each of four corners of said frame that allows placement of objects includes a circular aperture therein,

said luminescent board is connected to said circuit board by connecting wires that connect said circuit board to said luminescent board and to said battery assembly;

a pattern portion of said pattern card is transparent and a rest portion of said pattern card is non-transparent, such that luminescence emitted by said luminescent board passes through the transparent portion of said pattern card and then exhibits desired pattern;

said luminescent board and said pattern card are inserted into said frame that allows placement of objects, said frame that allows placement of objects is fastened by screws on a front edge of said cap by means of four set screws inserted in said circular apertures of said four corners of said frame that allows placement of objects, and said battery assembly is placed in said pocket that allows placement of an object on one side of said cap.
