Abstract

A decorative fountain has a reservoir with a receiving space for receiving therein water, a pump received in the receiving space for pumping water in the reservoir upward, a base on the reservoir and having a through hole in alignment with the receiving space, a seat mounted around a periphery defining the through hole, a circuit board received in the seat, and a hollow frame on the base and provided with a hose received in the hollow frame and having an inlet extending to the aligned through hole and the receiving space and multiple outlets extending out from an inner periphery of the hollow frame. The outlets are so arranged that when the water in the receiving space is pumped upward and sprinkled out from the outlets, water trajectories from the outlets are interlaced with one another to present an interesting ornamental effect.

Claims (10)

1. A decorative fountain comprising:

a reservoir defined with a receiving space inside the reservoir for receiving therein water; a pump received in the receiving space for pumping water upward from the reservoir;

a base detachably mounted on top of the reservoir to cover the receiving space and having a through hole in alignment with the receiving space, a seat mounted around a periphery defining the through hole and having a side hole defined in a side wall of the seat;

a circuit board received in the seat from the side hole of the seat; and

a hollow frame mounted on top of the base and provided with a hose received in the hollow frame and having an inlet extending from an opening in a bottom face of the hollow frame to the aligned through hole and the receiving space and multiple outlets defined along a periphery of the hose and extending out from an inner periphery of the hollow frame,

whereby the outlets are so arranged that when the water in the receiving space is pumped upward and sprinkled out from the outlets, water trajectories from the outlets are interlaced with one another to present an interesting ornamental effect.

2. The decorative fountain as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circuit board has multiple light emitting diodes mounted on the circuit board and which are able to be illuminated by the circuit board to emit different colors so that the interlaced water trajectories together with the changeable color from the light emitting diodes is able to present an interesting effect.

3. The decorative fountain as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a screen is provided on top of the opening to cover the opening to filter out foreign objects in the water.

4. The decorative fountain as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a ledge is formed between two adjacent walls of the reservoir to support the base.

5. The decorative fountain as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a ledge is formed between two adjacent walls of the reservoir to support the base.
