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 multiple 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.
