Example

[0025] In a first embodiment of the circuit 40, when the battery 41 supplies power, the egg-shaped ornament 10 generates sound, light and action effects. However, not all of the illumination unit 42, audio unit 43 and center of gravity swing unit 45 are necessary components; these units can be individually combined with each other as desired.

[0026] The switch 49 can be a button or other special type of switch, such as a centrifugal force switch 491 shown in FIG. 3 (usually placed at an outer region of a rotating center), which turns on when a user rotates the egg-shaped ornament 10, the centrifugal force causing a moveable unit 492 (such as a small spring) to touch a contact point 493 to conduct electrical power. Since the centrifugal force switch 491 is a very common unit, it requires no further description. It will cause a special effect when a centrifugal force switch 491 is applied. For example, the present invention could be a gift. A user can record some audio contents (e.g. ...

Example

[0028] Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a functional block drawing of a circuit of a second embodiment according to the present invention. In the second embodiment, a detector 47 is utilized to provide user interaction. The detector 47 can be a sound detector 471; for example, when the user provides a predetermined sound, the battery 41 provides power to the illumination unit 42, the audio unit 43 and the center of gravity swing unit 45. The detector 47 may also be a light sensor 472, or a vibration sensor 473. The centrifugal force switch 491 may also be a rotation detector 474. Therefore, like the above example, when a user touch (or rotate, generate sound / light) the egg-shaped ornament 10 will play “Happy Birthday”.

[0029] The base 30 can be composed of several cases, or the ornament portion 20 can be composed of several decorative structures or cases. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, an egg-shaped ornament 10a has a slot 60 (for the placing of a business card or note) on the or...

Abstract

An ornament is substantially egg-shaped. The egg-shaped ornament includes a base and an ornament portion. The ornament portion is mounted above the base. The overall center of gravity is at the lower portion of the egg-shaped ornament so that the egg-shaped ornament can shake like a tumbler.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an egg-shaped ornament. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Most common egg-shaped ornaments are made of glass, or a certain type of stone, and may have special patterns on their surfaces. The egg is a symbol of life, and the liquid within the shell of the egg signifies the living flow of life. [0005] However, the traditional hard, solid body, egg-shaped ornament is unable to express the emotion of the living flow of life. [0006] In addition, the traditional hard, solid body, egg-shaped ornament does not provide sound or lighting effects to create more enjoyment. [0007] Therefore, it is desirable to provide an egg-shaped ornament that mitigates and / or obviates the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] A main objective of the present invention is to provide an egg-shaped ornament that shakes like a tumbler to increase user enjoyment. [0009] Another objec...
