Abstract

A short distance reflected pattern decorating plate that compromises a base, a decorating plate, a front plate and a circuit board that makes the decorating plate brighter and clearer, and to emphasize the decorating plate with a bright light circle.

Claims

1. A short distance reflected pattern decorating plate comprising:

a base having (a) a recess formed therein, (b) a trough disposed adjacent said recess, (c) a through hole formed in said trough, and (d) a plurality of illuminator holes extending between said recess and said trough;

a decorating plate made of a transparent plate and having a shape corresponding to said recess of said base, said decorating plate having a reflection side formed on a sloped portion thereof that forms a contacting area with said recess of said base, said decorating plate having a refraction side formed along an inclined circumference thereof;

a front plate made of a transparent acrylic board with a darkened surface, said front plate having a transparent display portion being shaped in correspondence to said decorating plate; and

,

a circuit board being an electrical system board disposed in said trough of said base, said circuit board having a plurality of illuminators mounted thereon and respectively, installed inside said illuminator holes of said base.

2. The short distance reflected pattern decorating plate recited in claim 1, further comprising a reflecting layer disposed between adjacent surfaces of said decorating plate and said recess of said base.

3. The short distance reflected pattern decorating plate recited in claim 2, wherein said reflecting layer is electroplated on a surface of said recess.

4. The short distance reflected pattern decorating plate recited in claim 1, wherein said refraction side has a plurality of vertical cuts formed along the inclined circumference of said decorating plate.
