Abstract

The touch controlled light emitted two balls instrument comprises the following elements. A seat with a two loops touch controlled sensing switch circuit system, one side of the seat is formed with a pivotal hole, and the opposite side of the seat is installed with a through hole used to mounted with a first light source. A supporting frame is a cambered rod having an approximate C shape and is assembled on the pivotal hole of the seat. A screw rod is mounted on the top of the rod and an engaging rod is projected from the lower end thereof and may be pivotally connected with a second light source. A globe is a hollow and transparent round ball and a world map is depicted on the surface thereof, and holes are formed on the upper and lower ends thereof for being inserted by the screw rod and convex shaft of the supporting frame and a first light source. A heaven body ball is a transparent round ball with a hollow inner space, a heaven body map is depicted thereon. Holes are installed on the upper and lower ends thereof for being inserted by the fixing stud on the lower end of the engaging rod and for being passed through by the first light source and then the first light source will be positioned on the ball pad so to be assembled between the supporting frame and the seat. Therefore, by the touch controlled light emitting two balls instrument within the seat to control the switching of the two light sources, a four stages illumination effects will generate.

Claims

1. A touch controlled light emitting two balls instrument comprising:

a seat having a touch controlled sensing circuit system therewithin, a pivotal hole being formed on one side of the seat and a penetrating hole being formed on an opposite, the penetrating hole being further installed with a ball pad for bearing a first light source, the first light source including a bulb base and a bulb, the bulb base passing through the ball pad;

by two reeds thereof to reject the inner rim of the lower portion of the ball pad, the first light source being positioned, the bulb being screwedly connected to the bulb base so that an astroscope ball thereon will light up;

the touch controlled sensing circuit system including two switch sensors for controlling a plurality of bulbs, the two sensors being connected to two bulb bases and then being connected to a conductive washer, by the washer to contact with a conductive seat, the seat and the conductive supporting frame thereabove can be conducted by touch controlling, this being a dual loop touch controlled switch circuit, wherein when the seat is touched by fingers, the circuit will be conducted, and a four stages sequence is generated to control the switching of two powers of two bulbs so that they can light up simultaneously or sequentially;

a supporting frame being a conductive cambered rod having an approximate C shape and installed on the pivotal hole of the seat for bearing a globe, the lower end thereof being projected with an engaging rod, the engaging rod being used to pivotally connect to a second light source, the second light source including an under-pan and a spring installed on the top end of the engaging rod, one end of the spring being engaged on the top end of the engaging rod, another end of the spring serving to be screwedly connected by a threaded tube for being connected with one of the bulb bases, and then a nut serves to tightly lock this structure, the bulb base serving to receive the bulb so that the globe will light up;

a globe being a transparent round ball with a hollow inner space, a world map being depicted on the surface of the transparent ball, and the globe being engaged on the C shape frame;

a heaven body ball being a transparent round ball with a hollow inner space, a heaven body map being depicted thereon, and the heaven body ball being engaged between the supporting frame and the base.
