Decorative optical fiber artificial plant
First Claim
1. A decorative optical fiber artificial plant comprising:
- a base having a housing and a colored light generator mounted in the housing, wherein the housing has a mounting cylinder into which colored light from the colored light generator shines; and
the colored light generator has multiple LEDs and a controller to drive the LEDs, wherein the controller is positioned under the LEDs and comprises;
a microprocessor having multiple input ports and output ports;
multiple electronic switches respectively connected to the LEDs and the output ports of the microprocessor; and
an AC to DC power converter connected to the microprocessor and the electronic switches and converting AC power to DC power that is provided to the microprocessor and the electronic switches; and
an artificial foliage arrangement mounted in the housing, wherein the artificial plant is composed of a bundle of optical fibers having a proximal end mounted in the mounting cylinder;
whereby the controller controls how long the LEDs are driven to generate different colored lights with various characteristics.

Abstract
A decorative optical fiber artificial plant has a base and an artificial foliage arrangement. The base has a housing and a colored light generator mounted in the housing. The artificial foliage arrangement is composed of multiple optical fibers and is connected to a specific position of the housing on which colored lights shines. The colored light generator has multiple LEDs and a controller to drive the LEDs. The controller has at least a microprocessor and multiple electronic switches connected between output ports of the microprocessor and the corresponding LEDs. Further, different driving programs are built into the microprocessor so the colored light generator can generate different color lights with various characteristics.
