## Abstract

A rotating lighting decoration includes an aqueous sphere, a magnetic moving member, a fixed decoration piece, a suspending decoration piece, and a base. The magnetic moving member, the fixed decoration piece, and the suspending decoration piece are arranged in the aqueous sphere. The aqueous sphere is filled with a flowable liquid. The fixed decoration piece is fixed to a bottom of the aqueous sphere and located at a periphery of the magnetic moving member. The suspending decoration piece is arranged at a periphery of the fixed decoration piece. The base is mounted to the bottom of the aqueous sphere and includes a magnetic rotary axle that magnetically attracts the magnetic moving member. When rotating, the magnetic rotary axle drives the magnetic moving member to rotate and thus disturb the liquid inside the aqueous sphere to flow and drive the suspending decoration piece to rotate relative to the fixed decoration piece.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A rotating lighting decoration, mainly comprising:
an aqueous sphere, which is of a light-transmitting three-dimensional configuration and includes a hollow shell and a bottom lid, the shell being formed with an opening facing down, the bottom lid being set on and closing the opening of the shell so as to define a closed space in an interior of the shell, the closed space being filled with a flowable liquid;
a magnetic moving member, which is arranged in the closed space and is located at a bottom of the aqueous sphere;
a fixed decoration piece, which is arranged in the closed space and disposed on the bottom lid and has a predetermined shape, the fixed decoration piece having a bottom that is provided with a positioning seat, by which the magnetic moving member is constrained to rotate in a given range;
a suspending decoration piece, which includes a bottom plate and a first decoration plate, the bottom plate being formed, in an axial direction, with a through hole, the through hole having a circumference that is provided with a plurality of rotating parts spaced from each other, the first decoration plate including two shaped braces that are symmetric, the two shaped braces being connected to each other at one end and each having an opposite end disposed on the bottom plate, the suspending decoration piece being supported by the liquid, so as to have a top thereof abutting the shell and a bottom set in a suspending condition to define a distance from the bottom lid; and
a base, which is connected to the bottom of the aqueous sphere, the base including an electric control unit, the electric control unit comprising at least one light-emitting element, the light-emitting element being electrically connected with the electric control unit, the light-emitting element being operable to illuminate in a direction toward the aqueous sphere, the base including a magnetic rotary axle that corresponds to and attracts the magnetic moving member, the magnetic rotary axle being drivable by a power member to rotate;
wherein when the magnetic rotary axle is rotating, the magnetic moving member is attracted thereby to rotate in unison therewith to disturb and drive the liquid to flow in the interior, so as to cause the suspending decoration piece to move with the flow of the liquid for rotating relative to the fixed decoration piece.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The rotating lighting decoration according to claim 1, wherein the bottom plate of the suspending decoration piece includes a fitting segment raised therefrom, each of the shaped braces being formed with a fitting groove, which is fit onto and mounted to the fitting segment, the connection of the shaped braces being formed with a first slit having an opening facing downward, the suspending decoration piece further comprising a second decoration plate, which includes two shaped braces that are symmetric, the two shaped braces being connected to each other at one end, the connection being formed with a second slit having an opening facing upward, the second slit being fit into the first slit, the two shaped braces each having an opposite end that is formed with a fitting groove, which is fit onto and mounted to the fitting segment.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The rotating lighting decoration according to claim 1, wherein the shell has an inside surface that is recessed to form a positioning groove, and the first decoration plate is provided, on a top thereof, with a positioning projection corresponding to the positioning groove.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The rotating lighting decoration according to claim 1, wherein the positioning seat of the fixed decoration piece is formed with a notch facing downward, the magnetic moving member being disposed in the notch.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The rotating lighting decoration according to claim 1, wherein the positioning seat includes two circumferential ribs that are spaced from each other in a vertical direction and a plurality of plates connected to each of the circumferential ribs and arranged to space from each other, the fixed decoration piece having a bottom that is formed with at least one trough, the fixed decoration piece being detachably mounted to the positing seat by the trough.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The rotating lighting decoration according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic moving member has a top that is provided with vanes arranged in a radiating fashion.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The rotating lighting decoration according to claim 1, wherein the base comprises a switch, which is electrically connected with the electric control unit.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The rotating lighting decoration according to claim 1, wherein the light-emitting element comprises a light-emitting diode (LED).
