Illuminated wind indicator

摘要

An illuminated wind indicator including a wind chime assembly with a moveable pendulum assembly. The pendulum assembly includes a suspension member to support moveable suspension of the pendulum assembly proximate the wind chime assembly and further includes a component configuration of components including power and control circuitry, at least one solar panel, at least one light source and a striker, wherein each of the components has a distance relationship to the suspension member, where the power and control circuitry, the at least one solar panel and the at least one light source is electrically connected to form an illumination circuit that is separate and spaced apart from the wind chime assembly.

主权项

1. A solar lamp comprising:
a riser portion; at least one light source, wherein said at least one light source emits light directed above at least part of said riser portion; an at least partially light transmissive lens extending over at least part of said at least one light source, wherein emitted light from said at least one light source causes at least part of said lens to illuminate; a surround frame attached to said lamp proximate to said at least partially light transmissive lens such that some of said emitted light passes through said lens to illuminate at least part of said surround frame from below at least part of said surround frame, said surround frame being configured as an open structural peripheral border that at least partially encircles the lens while residing primarily in a plane passing through the lens; electrical connections for at least one rechargeable power source; an activation circuit to provide power to said at least one light source from said at least one rechargeable power source only at low ambient light levels; at least one photovoltaic panel; wherein said at least one photovoltaic panel is electrically connected to said electrical connections to charge said at least one rechargeable power source; and wherein said riser portion connects to said lens via a support frame to position said lens above a ground surface.
