| Abstract: |
A decorative light with rotating reflecting disc is disclosed which includes a mounting base and a translucent dome secured upon the base. A plurality of sockets with lamps are mounted in the base beneath the dome and each socket can contain a lamp of different color. A motor is concentrically secured in the base to rotate a circular reflector below the lamps to reflect light rays from the lamps upwardly against the undersurface of the translucent dome. The surface of the circular reflector is covered with a crinkled or otherwise bent "Milar" sheet to form a great multitude of small, angularly offset reflecting surfaces so that a unique, colored, reflected, light pattern is projected upon the underside of the dome by the rotating reflector.

First Claim:
Show all 5 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. A decorative light comprising:
- a hollow base, the base comprising sidewalls extending upwardly from the base;
- a plurality of lamp sockets secured in the base sidewall in spaced locations;
- a plurality of lamps respectively mounted in the lamp sockets, at least one of the plurality of lamps being of a color different from another lamp;
- a motor secured to the base, said motor rotating a shaft;
- a generally planar reflector secured to the motor shaft for rotatation when the motor is operative, the reflector being positioned below the lamps to receive light rays from the lamps,
- the reflector comprising a multitude of angularly offset reflecting surfaces, the reflecting surfaces receiving light rays from the lamps and reflecting the light rays away from the reflector at a multitude of angles;
- a pair of spaced baffles extending away from the reflector and being positioned at right angles to the reflector, the motor shaft being positioned between the baffles, the baffles being so positioned upon the reflector as to separate the light rays of one lamp from the light rays of another lamp when the reflector is rotated;
- a translucent cover secured to the base in overlying relationship to the reflector and to the lamps,
- the translucent cover having a non-transparent body, the said body being impinged by the multitude of angularly oriented reflected light rays; and
- an operating electrical circuit to simultaneously energized the lamp sockets and the motor.
