Kinetic flame device
DCFirst Claim
1. An electronic lighting device, comprising:
- a core which comprises an enclosure provided with a through hole on a top thereof;
a flame sheet movably supported or suspended on the enclosure, wherein the flame sheet comprises an upper sheet which is of a flame-like shape and the upper sheet is configured to expose above the top of the enclosure through the through hole of the enclosure;
a light-emitting element installed on a sidewall of the enclosure such that an outgoing direction of a light from the light-emitting element is inclined upward and passes through the through hole of the enclosure, wherein the outgoing direction is intersected with a surface of the upper sheet, so that the light from the light-emitting element is projected on the surface of the upper sheet; and
a swing mechanism disposed beneath the flame sheet, wherein the swing mechanism is configured to apply a force on the flame sheet to actuate the flame sheet to sway or swing.

Abstract
An apparatus creating a flickering flame effect. The apparatus includes a housing with an interior space with first and second stages. A drive mechanism generates a time varying electromagnetic field extending into the first stage. A first pendulum member is pivotally mounted in the interior space of the first stage and includes first and second magnets on first and second ends, with the first end proximate to the drive mechanism such that the first magnet interacts with the varying electromagnetic field to cause movement of the pendulum member. The apparatus includes a second pendulum member pivotally mounted in the second stage with a magnet on a first end proximate to the second end of the first pendulum member. A flame silhouette element extends from the second pendulum member, and a light source transmits light onto the flame silhouette, which is moving due to the magnetic coupling of the pendulum members.

11. A method for manufacturing an electronic lighting device, comprising:
-
suspending a flame sheet on an enclosure, wherein the flame sheet comprises an upper sheet which is of a flame-like shape and exposed above a top of the enclosure; installing a light-emitting element on a sidewall of the enclosure such that an outgoing direction of a light from the light-emitting element is inclined upward and passing through a through hole of the enclosure to be intersected with a surface of the upper sheet, so that the light from the light-emitting element is projected on the surface of the upper sheet; and disposing a swing mechanism beneath the flame sheet, wherein the swing mechanism is configured to apply a force on the flame sheet to actuate the flame sheet to sway or swing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
