Abstract

A display seat for displaying glass and crystal articles of display includes a seat body which is a plate or a layered plate formed from a transparent plastic material or glass. The seat body has a bottom portion formed with a recess. A circuit substrate board having a plurality of light emitting diodes is insertably disposed in the recess. The display seat can be connected to an external power source or a battery source to establish electrical connection for activating the light emitting diodes. Shallow grooves can be formed in a top portion of the seat body for placement of round or curved articles of display. Beams of light emitting from the light emitting diodes penetrate through the plastic or glass seat body toward the articles of display on the seat body.

Claims

1. A display seat for glass and crystal articles of display, comprising:

a) a transparent seat body having a recess on a bottom thereof, and a plurality of shallow grooves formed on a top portion thereof and receiving the articles of display;

b) a circuit substrate board inserted into the recess of the seat body; and

c) a plurality of light emitting diodes connected to the circuit substrate board, whereby the circuit substrate board is connected to a power source to activate the plurality of light emitting diodes, each of the plurality of light emitting diodes coaxially aligning with respective one of the shallow grooves with one of the plurality of shallow grooves to illuminate the articles of display,

wherein said circuit substrate board has a connecting circuit provided with an electronic control for controlling apparent movement of lights produced by their sequential actuation, and flashing of the lights generated by the light emitting diodes.

2. The display seat for glass and crystal articles of display as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light emitting diodes are mounted below said circuit substrate board to generate light downwardly and toward a shelf therebelow.
