Illuminated Ornament

摘要

An illuminated ornament having an electronics assembly including a battery holder, a cap, a light emitting source and a control circuit is inserted through a hole axially into the ornament enclosure thereby locating the light source at a distance from the enclosure wall. The enclosure wall allow light to travel therethrough. A diffusing and reflecting cap which is preferably conical shaped converging towards a disk shaped end wall surrounds the light source and both allows light to travel therethrough and reflects light behind the light source to the enclosure wall. The battery holder is permanently attached to the assembly cap and the electronics assembly is removable from the enclosure in one piece. The assembly cap closes the hole. The differential pressure between the inside and outside of the enclosure is relieved preventing air and water entry through the assembly cap to enclosure interface.

主权项

1. An illuminated ornament comprising:
an enclosure including a wall adapted to allow light to pass therethrough; said wall having a hole adapted to receive an electronics assembly therethrough and into said enclosure; said electronics assembly including a battery holder, a cap located at one terminal end of said battery holder and adapted to seat on said wall adjacent said wall hole, a light emitting source located at another terminal end of said battery holder opposite from said cap, and a control circuit adapted to selectively energize said light emitting source; wherein said electronics assembly is received through said wall hole with said cap seated on said wall adjacent said hole and with said battery holder extending axially into said enclosure thereby locating said light emitting source therein at a distance from said enclosure wall; and, a diffusing and reflecting cap surrounding said light emitting source which allows light to travel therethough to said enclosure wall and which also reflects light behind said light emitting source and around said battery holder to said enclosure wall.
