Abstract
A toy projector includes a housing and a light projector adapted to project light from the housing. A sheet is associated with the housing to be disposed over the light projector to thereby diffuse light emitted from the housing and to be selectively withdrawn from being over the light projector to allow the projection of light from the housing to be unobstructed.
Claims19
A toy projector comprising:
- a housing comprising a screen having a plurality of apertures of different shapes;
- a light source enclosed within the housing, the light source adapted to project light from the housing through the apertures in the screen;
- and
- a sheet composed of a translucent material, the sheet sealed to the housing along an entire perimeter of the sheet except for its top side thereby forming a reversible pocket affixed to the housing and open at its top, the pocket having a first configuration in which the sheet is disposed over a rear surface of the housing opposite from the screen, such that the light projected from the housing through the apertures in the screen projects the different shapes onto a wall or a ceiling, the pocket having a second configuration in which the sheet is disposed over the screen and the light projected from the housing through the apertures in the screen is diffused through the sheet such that an area of the sheet is illuminated with the different shapes visible on the sheet while the different shapes are obstructed from being projected onto the wall or the ceiling.
