They can also be a very attractive game for children «

The new device consists in that rays of light colored when hitting particles of all shapes, types and colors that are disorganized in a container and in it for the purpose of changing the figures and colors of the resulting projection image rearranged at will can be, the colored light rays are directed so that they are on the for receiving the decoration image certain area fall

A device according to the innovation consists of one Container, preferably of shell shape, which can be set in rotation about a vertical axis and Contains disordered particles of any material that are transparent or opaque, colored or colorless, reflective or non-reflective grains, bits, splinters or the like can, with the container together with a light beam

■■■■ '. ■ "- 3 -

is used whose rays the grains, bits or other particles mentioned above enforce bziu. play around so that an image is created on a surface on which the rays unite

According to another embodiment of the new device the container is transparent and the light rays that emerge from a light source arranged below and the Containers prevail, are brought together by a lens so that they are on a screen or on a mirror unite, which redirects them to this screen or another surface.

According to a further embodiment of the innovation the container has a reflective surface and that emanating from a light source to the side or above the container Rays of light strike the container and its contents and are then reflected onto a screen or other surface on which they represent an image, or onto a mirror that deflects them onto this screen or another surface. ......

lYlan realizes that it is sufficient to arrange the disorderly particles in the container to change from a

To move on from one image to another, whereby_ the variety of images is immensely large. The transition from one Image on the other hand takes place advantageously in the way, that the container is placed on the axis of an electric motor, with continuous or discontinuous Movement revolves, wherein means are provided to abruptly stop the revolution and a relative displacement to cause the particles in the container, so that the plays of light or images are changed that when Occurrence of light rays on the particles come about.

It will be understood that the container can be of any shape, for example that of a bowl or a cylindrical shape.

It advantageously consists of a transparent, but heat-resistant material, for example from the under the name "Pyrex" known instrument glass · The one in the container Particles located can consist of bits of glass, plastic and / or metal, with shape and dimensions can be anything.

According to a preferred embodiment of the innovation the light source or are the light sources attached in such a way that

that the translucent container and the electric drive motor are inside an opaque container that has the appearance of a jug vase or an amphora, with the emerging light rays being directed from bottom to top inside the amphora and exit there through one or more horizontally arranged lenses, the container of one preferably concave screen is protruded, the lower part of which at the point where it is attached to the mouthpiece of the Amphora adjoins, almost vertically, while the upper part of this screen is on the other hand above the lens or lens is bent inwards "

In order to further increase the variety of the figures or light motifs appearing on the screen, it is preferred a fixed scraper is used, which ensures the random rearrangement of the colored particles within the bowl, which is in circulation. [Clan Conversely, it can also rotate the scraper on the bottom of a solid bowl. The speed of rotation can be constant or variable »

It should be noted that this embodiment of the device has the shape of an amphora or the like,

which is surmounted by a screen and forms a self-contained, novel and decorative unit, which can be used independently of any screen or any auxiliary device

FIG. 5 shows a sectional view along the line U-U of Figure 4.

FIG. 6 shows a partial sectional view of the device according to Figure 3 with details of another possible solution

FIG. 7 shows a further sectional view with a possible embodiment variant.

The new device according to FIG. 1 comprises a housing 2 of generally rectangular shape resting on feet 3. A light source 4 is located in the lower part of this housing 2 attached, which emits light rays labeled 5 * Above this light source 4 there is a container 6 of the shape of a bowl with a vertical axis, this bowl 6 consists of a transparent and heat-resistant Material such as "Pyrex" equipment glass. the Tray 6 is mounted on rollers 7 in such a way that it is around can revolve around its vertical axis. On its upper part, the shell 6 carries a ring gear 8, which in the EiTigiiff with a Pinion 9 stands on the shaft of an electric motor 10 stands, which is located inside the housing 2 »That Inside this shell 6 contains particles 12 of any '

Shape, size, type and color «In the upper part of the housing 2 a lens 13 is provided, which serves as a condenser and in a circular opening in the upper UJand of the housing 2 is attached «

The light rays 5 emitted by the light source 4, which must penetrate the container 6, strike the particles 12, are reflected on it and then dissipate in the housing, as indicated by the arrows 14 "On this Part of the light rays pass through the condenser 13 collected and emerges from the housing 2 in the form of a parallel light beam 15,

The light rays 15 have very different colors, depending on the particles 12 they hit in the container 6 « If the rays 15 reach an imaging surface, an imaging is obviously obtained from a variety of colors, soft according to the arrangement of the! ' Parts 12 are distributed in the container 6. the Light beams 15 are also advantageously deflected through a mirror 16, which you can see on any surface, for example a wall, a wall, an umbrella or the like throws *

Because of the large number and diversity

of the particles 12 in the container 6, it is possible both in terms of coloration and in terms of Arrangement of the individual colors to obtain the most diverse images, depending on the arrangement of the particles 12 in the Container 6.

In order to change these images, it is sufficient to rotate the container 6 by driving it by means of the fflotor 10. If the circulation is slow, there is no relative displacement of the particles against each other in the container 6, but only a slow or gradual transition from one figure to another, with the possibility of automatically receive the same images every time the container 6 is fully circulated ·

In contrast, it is by rapidly driving the container 6 and sudden stop of the circulation possible, the relative position of the particles 12 to each other and thus sudden transitions from one image to another, completely different figure to get, being it practically impossible to get the same picture ever again to create"

The device shown in Fig. 2 differs from

- 10 -

that shown in Fig. 1 only in that the container 6a consists of a material which has a reflective Has inner surface and which circulates directly through the shaft of an electric motor 10a attached below is displaced while the impact on the particles 12a certain light rays emerge from two light sources 4a, 4b, which are located to the side and above the container 6a are located.

Due to the reflective design of the inner wall of the container ; 6a are the light rays after hitting the Elements 12a and the inner wall of the container 6a to the top reflects without the need to collect them through a lens. You step out of the container immediately 2 through an opening 17 provided in its upper outer wall.

It is easily possible that the light rays causing the creation of an image are directed onto a mirror 16a, which they hit on a screen or any raises another surface suitable for recording or reproducing the image.

is the light source 4 vertically from bottom to top in Arranged inside a container which has the shape of a jug vase or amphora 20 »This amphora occurs in place of the housing 2 of the embodiments already described. It can be made of metal, clay> Made of plastic or any other known material »* · In the interior of the amphora 20, the electric motor 10 is also mounted, which is known with a reduction gear Kind (not shown) is provided, its vertically arranged Drive axle carries a scraper 21 and in Circulation staggered. The motor 10 is attached to the underside of a stationary cover 22, which is on the upper Edge of the amphora 20 hangs up.

The scraper 21, which has one or more rotating arms, is therefore arranged below the cover 22. It runs on the transparent bottom of a solid bowl 23 around, in which the colored particles 12 are distributed. the Shell 23 'rests on its holder 24, which in turn rests on the underside of the lid 22 is attached. This bracket 24 has an opening or a translucent area which is intended for the passage of the light beam 25, which is emitted by the light source 4. The latter is in turn fastened to the holder 24.

An optical lens 26, which is dome-shaped or cylindrical, is also held on the cover 22 can be. The parts 21 to 26 therefore form a non-movable, independent structural unit, which can be easily placed on the mouthpiece of the amphora 20, around the device to make it functional immediately.

After the light bundle 27 has passed through the shell 23 and the colored particles 12, it arrives at the optical lens 26, which serves as a condenser and on the edge of the mouthpiece the amphora 20 is arranged. A concave screen 30 protrudes the amphora 20 to which it is attached. This screen 30 is almost vertical with its lower part 30a is formed, attached to the mouthpiece 28 of the amphora. The upper part 30b is pre-bent above the amphora 20 so that it captures the entirety of the light bundle 29 that of the lens emerges.

The operation of the device is as follows:

While the engine 10 is running and the light source 4 is lit, the colored particles 12 are rearranged by the rotating scraper 21, so that a light beam 27 is created, the color of which changes in time and space after

Case law and not periodically changes. That from the lens 26 emerging light bundle 29 hits different zones of the screen 30, on which colorful, flowing and moving Images of unknown decorative effect appear.

It can be seen that the amphora 20 with its screen is otherwise a decorative item of pleasant appearance who is used and grounded for himself and as he is can, regardless of other umbrellas or other accessories.

The application of an electric motor 10, which has a rotating Stripper 21 drives in front of a fixed container 23, allowed a constant and random modification of the light motifs obtained, while at the same time a practically noiseless one In contrast to known devices in which a shell 23 is subjected to a vibrational movement. It goes without saying that the speed of rotation can be constant or variable "

In the modified embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5 the beam path of the exiting, colored light bundle 29 is interrupted by two deflecting mirrors 31, 32, which

This distracted LiehtbDndel meet side screens 35, 36 on both sides the amphora 20 with their concave screen 30 are arranged vertically. That way you get from one single unit 20, 30 the possibility of a three-dimensional image on three screens 30, 35 and 36, which in are aligned on different levels.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG it is provided that the cover 22 not only has a single lens 26, but rather two opposing lenses 37, 38, which depending on the may have the same or different geometric properties. In this UJeise becomes the emerging light bundle 29 in two Partial light bundles 29a, 29b divided, whereby you can achieve special light effects.

Of course, it is also possible to use two lenses instead of two to provide three or more lenses.

one also sees that it is also possible instead of the use of a fixed shell 23 with a circumferential Wiper 21 a fixedly arranged wiper 39 (Fig. 6)
