Abstract

A multilayer flashing water ball apparatus includes a water ball main body, a base and a light transmissive plate module. The water ball main body is light transmissive and includes a platform with an installation slot. The base is secured onto the bottom portion of the water ball main body and includes light emitting elements for emitting light toward the installation slot. The light transmissive plate module includes at least three light transmissive plates inserted into the installation slot. The surfaces of the light transmissive plates include continuous corresponding patterns formed thereon, and such patterns are visually related to each other to form a serious of motion sequence. The bottom portions of the light transmissive plates correspond to the light emitting elements. With the light source of the light emitting elements flashes sequentially, the continuous corresponding patterns inside the water ball main body generate a dynamic visual effect.

Claims (12)

1. A multilayer flashing water ball apparatus, comprising:

a water ball main body having a light transmissive three-dimensional shape, and a moving liquid filled at an internal of the water ball main body; the internal of the water ball main body comprising a platform, and the platform having an installation slot;

a base secured onto a lower portion of the water ball main body; an internal of the base comprising a circuit board corresponding to a bottom portion of the water ball main body, a plurality of light emitting elements and a power source module for providing an electricity; the circuit board electrically connected to the power source module; each one of the plurality of light emitting elements electrically connected to the circuit board and arranged spaced apart from each other in sequence to emit light toward the installation slot; and

a light transmissive plate module, in a sequential direction from a front to a rear thereof, sequentially comprising: a first light transmissive plate, a second light transmissive plate and a third light transmissive plate; wherein surfaces of the first light transmissive plate, the second light transmissive plate and the third light transmissive plate comprise continuous corresponding patterns respectively, and each of the continuous corresponding patterns forms a continuous motion sequence; and wherein a bottom portion of each of the first transmissive plate, the second transmissive plate and the third transmissive plate includes a light guiding portion extended therefrom, each one of the light guiding portions is inserted into the installation slot, and each one of the light guiding portions corresponds to each one of the light emitting elements respectively;
