Decoration pad system for simulating lit stepping stones

Abstract

A decoration pad system for simulating lit stepping stones comprises a panel and a transparent material. The panel defined by an outer periphery, an upper surface and a lower surface includes an opening through the upper and lower surfaces thereof to define an inner periphery thereof. The transparent material is defined by top and bottom sides laminated to each other. The bottom side is planted in the inner periphery of the plate to cover the panel opening. A vessel is defined by a base plate and a wall protrusion upwardly extending from the base plate. The wall protrusion is detachably attached to the plain lower surface of the panel. On the base plate in the vessel is aligned miniature bulbs.

         2 . The decoration pad system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of miniature bulbs are linearly wrapped, wherein the linearly wrapped miniature bulbs are detachably attached to the base plate in the vessel.  
     
     
         3 . The decoration pad system of  claim 2  wherein the linearly wrapped miniature bulbs are spirally aligned along the base plate in the vessel.  
     
     
         4 . The decoration pad system of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a) a second wall protrusion downwardly extending from the lower plain surface of the panel to receive therein the first wall protrusion of the vessel; and  
 b) an engagement member to fixedly attach the first and second wall protrusions to each other.  
 
     
     
         5 . The decoration pad system of  claim 1  further comprising a power control connected to the miniature bulbs to control an electrical power to the miniature bulbs, whereby the miniature bulbs lit by the switch-on of the power control decoratively illuminate through the transparent material.  
     
     
         6 . The decoration pad system of  claim 5  the power control comprises a timer to manipulate a lighting time for the miniature bulbs.  
     
     
         7 . The decoration pad system of  claim 1  wherein the bottom side of the transparent material is formed of a reinforced glass, wherein the top side of the transparent material is formed of a stained glass, wherein the bottom and top sides of the transparent material are cement-laminated.  
     
     
         8 . The decoration pad system of  claim 1  wherein the panel and the vessel are each formed of a polyresin.  
     
     
         9 . The decoration pad system of  claim 1  wherein the outer periphery of the panel is substantially either circular or rectangular.  
     
     
         10 . The decoration pad system of  claim 1  wherein the decorative top side of the transparent material is formed of a plurality of stained glass pieces and substantially even to the decorative upper surface of the panel.  
     
     
         11 . A decoration pad system for simulating lit stepping stoners, comprising: 
 a) a plurality of panels each defined by an outer periphery, a decorative upper surface and a plain lower surface, wherein said each panel includes an opening formed through the upper and lower surfaces thereof to define an inner periphery thereof, wherein the panels are each non-transparent;    b) a substantially transparent material defined by a decorative top side and a solid bottom side which are laminated to each other, wherein the solid bottom side of the transparent material is planted in said each inner periphery to cover said each opening of the panels;    c) a vessel defined by a base plate and a first wall protrusion upwardly extending from the base plate, wherein the first wall protrusion is detachably attached to said each lower surface of the panels;    d) a plurality of miniature bulbs aligned on the base plate in the vessel;    e) a power control connected to the miniature bulbs to control an electrical power to the miniature bulbs, whereby the miniature bulbs lit by a switch-on of the power control decoratively illuminate through the transparent material; and    f) a sensor provided in the decoration pad system and connected to the power control, wherein the illuminance of the switched-on miniature bulbs is substantially increased when either the corresponding panel or the corresponding transparent material of the decoration pad system are stepped on.    
     
     
         12 . The decoration pad system of  claim 11  wherein the plurality of miniature bulbs of said each panel are linearly wrapped, wherein the linearly wrapped miniature bulbs of said each panel are detachably attached to the base plate in said each vessel.  
     
     
         13 . The decoration pad system of  claim 12  wherein the linearly wrapped miniature bulbs are spirally aligned along the base plate in said each vessel of the panels.  
     
     
         14 . The decoration pad system of  claim 11  further comprising: 
 a) a second wall protrusion downwardly extending from the lower plain surface of said each panel to receive therein the first wall protrusion of said each vessel of the panels; and  
 b) an engagement member to fixedly attach the first and second wall protrusions of said each vessel to each other.  
 
     
     
         15 . The decoration pad system of  claim 11  the power control comprises a timer to manipulate a lighting time for the miniature bulbs.  
     
     
         16 . The decoration pad system of  claim 11  wherein the plurality of panels are electrically connected to each other in series.  
     
     
         17 .
