Kaleidoscope

Abstract

A kaleidoscope includes a stationary portion and a movable portion. The stationary portion includes a tubular body inside which a prism is arranged. The tubular body has opposite ends to which an eyepiece and a lens device are respectively attached. The movable portion includes a support rod having a first section rotatably mounted to the stationary portion and a second section to which a transparent container is rotatably attached. The container defines an interior space divided into a number of isolated compartments by partition plates fixed inside the container for receiving and containing small objects of different sizes, shapes and colors and liquids. The support rod is arranged to position the container, at least partly, in front of the lens device and allowing the container to rotate whereby compartments of the container can selectively and sequentially pass in front of the lens device, which directs image of the objects inside the compartments into the prism for forming versatile patterns
