[57 ABSTRACT A machine for generating multicolored moving light patterns in which light from a source is projected through a plurality of counterrotating transparent globes onto a translucent cover so that constantly changing, never repeating colored light patterns are visible on the surface of the translucent cover.
3 Claims, 4 Drawing; Figures PATENTEDSEP1 em 3, 760' 176 SHEEI 1 BF 2 LIGHT MACHINE Previously, considerable difficulty has been experienced in generating an aesthetically pleasing, constantly changing, never repeating light pattern in a reliable, efficient manner. According to the present invention, these and other difficulties of the prior art have been overcome.
The present invention includes alight pattern generator in which transparent globes with varying multicolored patternsimprinted thereon are mounted for counterrotation in position between a light source and a translucent cover. The counterrotatingglobes are positioned in frictional contactwith free-floating globes so that the counterrotationof the driven globes causes the free-floating idlerglobes to also turn. Using a plurality of driven and idler globes insures that the multicolored light patterns projected on the translucent cover will continually move and change in such a fashion that the same pattern almost never repeats.
In the drawings there is illustrated:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation partially in section'of a preferred embodiment of the light pattern generator of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan viewpartially in section along line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line 33 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional plan view taken along line 4-4 in FIG. 3.
Referring particularly to the drawings, there is illustrated a base 10. The proximal side 12 of base has mounted thereon a cluster of external spur gears indicated generally at 16. First gear 22 is mounted on drive shaft '20. The remainder of the gears in gear cluster 16 areintermeshed with'one another so that all of the gears are driven by the rotation of first spur gear 22. The gears other than first gear 22 are rotatably mounted on stub shafts 18. Stub shafts 18 are mounted to the proximal side of base 10. Driven .globes 26 are provided with stems 28. Stems 28 are received in globe sockets 24. Globe sockets 24 are in axial alignment with the axes of rotation of the spur gears. Driven globes 26 are substantially spherical transparent globes upon which multicolored patterns (not shown) are imprinted. ldler globes 30 are tethered in frictional contact with the upwardly disposed surfaces of driven globes 26 by means of axles 38. Globes 26 are all of substantially the same size, and they are mounted in about the same plane so that when they are clustered together the spaces between them define receptacles into which 'idler'globes 30 are received. The sizes of idler globes 30 are chosen so that they will rest in the receptacles defined by the spaces between the upwardly disposed surfaces of driven globes 26. Spindle 34 is centrally disposed within the cluster of driven globes 26 and is received in spindle socket 36 of base 10. Spindle 34 extends generally vertical, and axles 38 extend radially from spindle 34. The open bases32 of idler globes 30 receive axles 38. Axles 38 serve to tether idler globes 30 in position in the receptacles defined by the spacing between driven globes 26. The substantially spherical idler globes 30 are transparent and have multicolored patterns disposed on their spherical surfaces.
A source of light is provided within the cluster of driven and idler globes. Light bulb sockets 40 retain lights 42 in position on the proximal side 12 of base 10.
The lights 42 are positioned so that light rays emitted by these lights pass through the driven and idler globes 26 and 30, respectively, so that the multicolored patterns on these globes are projected radially outwardly.
An apron 48 surrounds the periphery of base 10. Apron 48 extends downwardly from the periphery of the distal side of base 10 for a distance sufficient to space the structures on the distal side 14 away from contact with the underlying support for this light pattern generating machine. Apron 48 projects above the proximal side 12 of base 10 for a distance sufficient to form lip 54. Lip 54 receives and retains in position the lower edge of cover 56. Cover 56 encloses the proximal side 12 of base 10 together with the globes, light sources, and actuating mechanisms positioned on the proximal side 12 of base 10. The cover 56 is constructed of a generally translucent material so that the several structures mounted onpro ximal side 12 are not visible through cover 56. Being translucent, cover 56 acts as a screen to'display the moving multicolored light patterns that are projected onto its interior surface. The generally convex configuration of the translucent cover 56 is formed *by a plurality of triangular panel surfaces 58 joined together angularly at their edges. 7
i The distal side 14 of base 10 serves as the support for drive motor 44. The shaft of drive motor 44 extends upwardly through base 10 and becomes drive shaft 20 which drives the cluster of external spur gears 16 through first gear 22, as previously described.
Conventional house current received through electrical cord 60 is stepped down by means of transformer 46 to permit the -use of low voltage, long-life bulbs as lights 42. Light switches 50 are provided in a number corresponding to the number of lights 42 so that any one or all of lights 42 may be turned on or off, as may be desired by the operator. The drive motor switch 52 actuates drivemotor 44 and is independent from light switches 50 so that, if desired, the movement of the driven and idler globes 26 and 30 may be halted so that an existing light pattern will be frozen on translucent cover 56. In operation the light pattern generator is placed on a substantally horizontal support surface. Electric cord 60 is connected to a suitable source of electrical energy, and one or more of the light switches 50 are positioned in the on configuration so that the desired lights 42 are lit. If it is desired to have a stationary multicolored light pattern on translucent cover 56, drive motor switch 52 is not placed in the on configuration. if a moving light pattern is desired, a drive motor switch 52 is placed in the on configuration.
When it is desired to alter the characteristics of the light patterns, the idler globes 30 may be replaced with other idler globes of similar configuration, having different colored patterns on the surface thereof. The idler globes may be moved from one location to. another so that they are mounted on different axles 38. Except for the driven globe that is mounted to first gear 22, the other spur gears may generally be moved from one stub shaft to another so as to alter their position relative to one another and the idler globes 30. Also, generally differentdriven globes may be substituted for those originally present in the machine.
If desired, the configuration of the driven and idler globes maybe altered, for example, to cylindrical, conical, or the like, as desired.
The driving mechanism for the driven globes, instead of the spur gears illustrated, may be, for example, rollers frictionally engaged with one another, belts, or the like. The numbers of driven and idler globes and the numbers of lights may be altered as desired to produce various aesthetically pleasing light patterns. If desired, a plurality of independent clusters of driven and idler globes may be mounted on a single base. The base shape may be altered from the hexagonal illustrated in the preferred embodiment to any desired angular or arcuate configured periphery. The translucent cover may be configured with different plane panels, difierent arcuate configurations, or with one single smooth hemispherical form.
Throughout the specification and drawings like parts have been given the same number so as to avoid the needless proliferation of numbers.
The translucent cover 56 is preferably removable so that it may be removed to service the light pattern generating mechanism. Also, if desired, the cover 56 may be removed and the machine operated in a somewhat darkened room so that the moving light patterns are projected on the walls and ceiling of the room.
The light switches 50 and drive motor switch 52 may be either of the direct on-off or variable type so that the intensity of the light or the speed of the drive motor may be adjusted to any desired setting.
