Abstract

An illuminating decorative bow includes an elongated fabric ribbon being folded to form a decorative bow and an illuminating arrangement. The illuminating arrangement includes a light string longitudinally extended along the fabric ribbon and folded with fabric ribbon to form the decorative bow, wherein the light string includes a plurality of illuminating elements spacedly provided along the fabric ribbon for producing an illuminating effect for the decorative bow.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An illuminating decorative bow, comprising:
 an elongated fabric ribbon being folded to form a decorative bow; and   an illuminating arrangement, comprising:   a light string longitudinally extended along said fabric ribbon, wherein said light string comprises a plurality of illuminating elements spacedly provided along said fabric ribbon for producing an illuminating effect for said decorative bow.   
   
   
       2 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said fabric ribbon has an elongated hollow core that said light string is slidably disposed within said hollow core of said fabric ribbon. 
   
   
       3 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said fabric ribbon comprises two light transmitting layers forming said hollow core therebetween, such that said light string is longitudinally disposed between said light transmitting layers for generating light through said light transmitting layers. 
   
   
       4 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said two light transmitting layers are two fabric nets respectively for allowing said light passing therethrough. 
   
   
       5 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said light string further comprises a bendable electric wire not only electrically connecting with said illuminating elements but also forming a skeleton of said decorative bow to provide a predetermined stiffness for said fabric ribbon to retain said decorative bow in a predetermined shape. 
   
   
       6 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said light string further comprises a bendable electric wire not only electrically connecting with said illuminating elements but also forming a skeleton of said decorative bow to provide a predetermined stiffness for said fabric ribbon to retain said decorative bow in a predetermined shape. 
   
   
       7 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said light string further comprises a bendable electric wire not only electrically connecting with said illuminating elements but also forming a skeleton of said decorative bow to provide a predetermined stiffness for said fabric ribbon to retain said decorative bow in a predetermined shape. 
   
   
       8 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said illuminating arrangement further comprises an extension adapter provided at a free end of said electric wire for electrically coupling with another said electric wire so as to prolong an overall length of said light string corresponding to said fabric ribbon. 
   
   
       9 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said illuminating arrangement further comprises an extension adapter provided at a free end of said electric wire for electrically coupling with another said electric wire so as to prolong an overall length of said light string corresponding to said fabric ribbon. 
   
   
       10 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said illuminating arrangement further comprises an extension adapter provided at a free end of said electric wire for electrically coupling with another said electric wire so as to prolong an overall length of said light string corresponding to said fabric ribbon. 
   
   
       11 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said illuminating elements are LEDs spacedly provided along said fabric ribbon. 
   
   
       12 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said illuminating elements are LEDs spacedly provided along said fabric ribbon. 
   
   
       13 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said illuminating elements are LEDs spacedly provided along said fabric ribbon. 
   
   
       14 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said illuminating elements are optical fibers extending along said fabric ribbon and optically connecting to a light source. 
   
   
       15 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said illuminating elements are optical fibers extending along said fabric ribbon and optically connecting to a light source. 
   
   
       16 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said illuminating elements are optical fibers extending along said fabric ribbon and optically connecting to a light source. 
   
   
       17 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said illuminating arrangement further comprises a power supply detachably coupling with said electric wire to electrically link with said illuminating elements and a switch operatively controlling said illuminating elements in an on-and-off manner. 
   
   
       18 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said illuminating arrangement further comprises a power supply detachably coupling with said electric wire to electrically link with said illuminating elements and a switch operatively controlling said illuminating elements in an on-and-off manner. 
   
   
       19 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 13 , wherein said illuminating arrangement further comprises a power supply detachably coupling with said electric wire to electrically link with said illuminating elements and a switch operatively controlling said illuminating elements in an on-and-off manner. 
   
   
       20 . The illuminating decorative bow, as recited in  claim 13 , wherein said power supply is detachably coupled with said electric wire via said extension adapter.
