DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0027] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 2-8. In the embodiment, the present invention mainly comprises a frame body 10, a projection device 40, a transparent bottle 50, an assembling element 60, and a spring 70.

[0028] The frame body 10 includes a base 11 arranged at a bottom thereof, an upper fixing element 30 arranged at an upper section thereof, a stand 12, and a lower fixing element 20 arranged at a lower section thereof. The upper fixing element 30 has a positioning plate 31 arranged below which has an engaging section 32 fixed at a center thereof. The stand 12 connects the base 11 with a lower end thereof and connects the upper fixing element 30 with an upper end thereof for the upper fixing element 30 to be disposed along an axis Y-Y perpendicular to a center of the base 11. The lower fixing element 20 is fixed on the base 11, defining a lower engaging space 21 therein with a positioning annulus 22 arranged on an inner surface thereof; a bumper pad 23 is further disposed on the positioning annulus 22.

[0029] The projection device 40 is disposed within the lower engaging space 20. In this embodiment, the projection device 40 includes a first bulb holder 41 fixedly disposed in the lower engaging space 20 and a bulb 42 engaging on the first bulb holder 41 for lighting and projection; the bulb 42 can be a LED bulb as well.

[0030] The transparent bottle 50 has a bottom end 52 engaging the positioning annulus 22 and the bumper pad 23 with fillers 51 therein. The fillers 51 can be made of a liquid for the transparent bottle 50 to be a liquid motion lamp; or the fillers can be made of two different liquids for the transparent bottle 50 to be a lava lamp. In this embodiment, the transparent bottle 50 is a LED bubble lamp.

[0031] The features of the present invention are described as following.

[0032] The assembling element 60 is mounted on a top end 53 of the transparent bottle 50 and has a depression surface 61 arranged atop and an upper engaging space 63 therein. The depression surface 61 further has a positioning hole 62 at a center thereof for the engaging section 32 of the positioning plate 31 to engage through, thus enhancing the engagement of the assembling element 60 and the upper fixing element 30.

[0033] The spring 70 is disposed inside the upper engaging space 63, abutting between the depression surface 61 and the transparent bottle 50 for the transparent bottle 50 to be positioned along the axis Y-Y perpendicular to the base 11 and for the depression surface 61 to fixedly engage the positioning plate 31 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0034] Referring to FIGS. 3-5, when disposing the transparent bottle 50 on to the frame body 10, the spring 70 has to be disposed in the upper engaging space 63 of the assembling element 60 before the assembling element 60 is mounted on the top end 53 of the transparent bottle 50. Then pressing the assembling element 60 downwards F so that the transparent bottle 50 can slightly slant to be positioned by having the bottom end 52 engaging the lower fixing element 20 and mounted on the positioning annulus 22 and bumper pad 23, and a gap S is formed between the depression surface 61 and the positioning plate 31. After positioning the transparent bottle 50, pulling the assembling element 60 upwards P for the engaging section 32 at the center of the positioning plate 31to engage through the positioning hole 62 of the depression surface 61 and disposing the transparent bottle 50 along the axis Y-Y perpendicular to the base 11. The spring 70 in the upper engaging space 63 has elasticity E to abut the depression surface 61 from under and to abut the top end 53 of the transparent bottle 50 for fixed placement of the transparent bottle 50 between the upper and lower fixing elements 30, 20. With structure of the projection device 40, the transparent bottle 50 would display attractive visual effects together with the fillers 51 therein.

[0035] On the other hand, the disengagement of the transparent bottle 50 is illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 for replacement of the transparent bottle 50 and the projection device 40. Firstly, pressing the assembling element 60 downwards F along the axis Y-Y to compress the spring 70 in the upper engaging space 63, and then the depression surface 61 and the positioning hole 62 would be disengaged from the positioning plate 31 and the engaging section 32; in other words, when the compression range is wider than a distance h3 composing the thickness of the positioning plate 31 and the protrusion length of the engaging section 32, the assembling element 60 is disengaged from the upper fixing element 30. Then the transparent bottle 50 can be disengaged from the lower fixing element 20 with slightly slanting. Such structures allows convenient replacement of the transparent bottle 50 and the projection device 40 anytime by anyone.

[0036] In FIG. 9, there is another embodiment of the present invention. The present invention further comprises a second bulb holder 81 and a lampshade 83 disposed on the stand 12 and the upper fixing element 30, and the second bulb holder 81 engages a lighting bulb 82. The present invention therefore has another practical function of lighting.

[0037] As stated, the present invention can easily disengage the assembling element 60 from the upper fixing element 30 within a slight compression distance of the spring 70; it can also fixedly place the transparent bottle 50 between the upper fixing element 30 and the lower fixing element 20 in case of unexpected or inadvertently shaking or moving, thus ensuring more stability and safety. With such structures, the present invention has less prime cost in the manufacturing process as well.

[0038] Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
