Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a water dispensing lamp (WDL). In an illustrative example, the WDL may include a base module disposed on a horizontal plane, and a fluid dispensing stem coupled above the horizontal plane along a vertical axis. The fluid dispensing stem, for example, may include an electrical pump and a dispensing element. For example, the electrical pump may be configured to pump fluid out of the dispensing element towards the base module. In some implementations, the WDL may include a lamp shade coupled to the fluid dispensing stem. Various embodiments may advantageously conceal the dispensing element by the lamp shade unless a viewing angle between the horizontal plane and a viewing axis is larger than a predetermined viewing angle threshold.
Claims20
A water dispensing lamp comprising:
- a base module disposed on a horizontal plane;
- a fluid dispensing stem coupled above the horizontal plane along a vertical axis, wherein the fluid dispensing stem comprises a housing, an electrical pump and a dispensing element, wherein the housing encloses the electrical pump, and the electrical pump is configured to pump fluid out of the dispensing element towards the base module;
- a first lighting element coupled helically around the housing of the fluid dispensing stem;
- a second lighting element disposed in the base module;
- and,
- a lamp shade coupled to the fluid dispensing stem such that the dispensing element is concealed by the lamp shade unless a viewing angle between the horizontal plane and a viewing axis is above a predetermined viewing angle larger than 75° at a distance 35 cm from a center of the base module, wherein:
- the base module comprises an electrical circuit operably coupled to a control interface, wherein:
- the electrical pump and the first lighting element are independently controlled by the control interface, and,
- when the electrical pump is activated, the electrical circuit is configured such that the second lighting element is activated to provide a visual indicia corresponding to a fluid dispensing process.
A water dispensing lamp comprising:
- a base module disposed on a horizontal plane;
- a fluid dispensing stem coupled above the horizontal plane along a vertical axis, wherein the fluid dispensing stem comprises a housing, an electrical pump, and a dispensing element, wherein the electrical pump is configured to pump fluid out of the dispensing element towards the base module;
- and,
- a lamp shade coupled to the fluid dispensing stem such that the dispensing element is concealed by the lamp shade unless a viewing angle between the horizontal plane and a viewing axis is above a predetermined viewing angle larger than 75° at a distance 35 cm from a center of the base module.
