Abstract

A table lamp having an ornamental liquid container movably connected to a main body thereof, so that the ornamental liquid container tends to swing, rotate and/or turn upside-down under an external force applied on the ornamental liquid container. At least one type of liquid, such as a dual-liquid or a magma-like liquid, and floating ornaments are contained in the ornamental liquid container. The liquid and floating ornaments tend to create unique, changeful and dynamic scenes when the ornamental liquid container is moved by the external force applied on it. The ornamental liquid container therefore gives the table lamp novel appearances and additional decorative effect.

Claims

1. A table lamp with movable ornamental liquid container comprising a table lamp main body and an ornamental liquid container movably mounted on the table lamp main body, said ornamental liquid container having at least one type of ornamental liquid contained therein and ornaments floating on said at least one type of liquid, whereby when said ornamental liquid container is subjected to an external force applied on it, said ornamental liquid container is moved and causes said at least one type of liquid and said floating ornaments to produce changeful and dynamic scenes in said ornamental liquid container, and give said table lamp an additional ornamental function and increased value for use wherein said table lamp main body further includes a lamp holder support formed from two vertical posts erected and spaced on a top of said base, and said ornamental liquid container being pivotally mounted on said lamp holder support by connecting two pivotal shafts provided on said two posts to two diametrically opposite points on said ornamental liquid container, such that said ornamental liquid container may be swung or turned upside-down about said two pivotal shafts under an external force applied on said ornamental liquid container.

2. A table lamp with movable ornamental liquid container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ornamental liquid container turns upside-down when an external force is applied on it, and said liquid and floating ornaments in said ornamental liquid container being a thick and viscous magma-like liquid.

3. A table lamp with movable ornamental liquid container comprising a table lamp main body and an ornamental liquid container movably mounted on the table lamp main body, said ornamental liquid container having at least one type of ornamental liquid contained therein and ornaments floating on said at least one type of liquid, whereby when said ornamental liquid container is subjected to an external force applied on it, said ornamental liquid container is moved and causes said at least one type of liquid and said floating ornaments to produce changeful and dynamic scenes in said ornamental liquid container, and give said table lamp an additional ornamental function and increased value for use wherein said table lamp main body has an upper suspended cord hanging from an upper point at said table lamp main body, a lower end of said suspended cord being connected to a top of said ornamental liquid container, so that said ornamental liquid container is in a suspended condition.
