Abstract
A crystal ball having an assembled motive die set. The crystal ball includes a music box and a driving base, wherein the driving base has a plurality of driven gears which are driven by the center motive gear installed on the base of the driving substrate. Assembled motive die sets representing different motion types are mounted on the upper cover of the base with respect to the driven gears, and are changeable as desired. The motive die set is influenced by the dynamic force of the music box through the driving base.
Claims12
A crystal ball with assembled motive die set, comprising:
- a bottom base;
- a music box supported by said bottom base;
- a driving substrate base having a motive gear opening defined therein and positioned above said music box;
- a motive gear located above said motive gear opening;
- at least one driven gear rotatably supported by said driving substrate base and being operatively engaged with said motive gear;
- a driving substrate top cover disposed above said motive gear and said driven gear and having at least one cover opening positioned in accordance with the position of said driven gear;
- and
- at least one motive die set including a motive die set body having an upper disk face, a lower neck portion and an opening defined therethrough, a rotary member and a claw member, said lower neck portion of said motive die set body being removably received in said cover opening, said rotary member being coupled with said claw member through said opening defined through said body such that said rotary member is disposed atop said upper disk face and is rotated relative to said body when said claw member is rotated relative to said body, and said claw member being engaged with said driven gear such that said claw member is rotated when said driven gear is rotated relative to said driving substrate base.
