| Abstract: |
A novel flashlight type amusement device having a reflecting member rotatably mounted in the longitudinal axis of a conventional type flashlight and located within the path of a light beam emanating from such flashlight. The reflecting member has a mirror like surface for reflecting light at predetermined angles upon rotation of the reflecting member in response to a slight movement of the flashlight. In one embodiment of the invention, the reflecting member is coupled to an eccentrically weighted member that rotates with the reflecting member. Thus, with a slight motion of the flashlight, the eccentrically weighted member causes the reflecting member to rotate the light beam at an angle approximately normal to the longitudinal axis of the flashlight. In another embodiment of the invention, a weight is eccentrically mounted to the back side of the reflecting member so as to rotate the reflecting member upon even a slight movement of the flashlight.
