Spinning illuminated novelty device and its associated method of manufacture

Abstract

A novelty item that spins reflective elements to produce a circular pattern of light. As the reflective elements spin, they receive and reflect light that is emitted by at least one light source. As the reflective elements reflect light from the light source, the reflective elements appear to be light sources themselves. Accordingly, as the reflective elements rotate, they produce a circular pattern of light. Since the reflective elements cannot always reflect light back into the line of sight of the observer, the reflected light in the created circular pattern of light seems to randomly change. By providing a novelty device that utilizes rotating reflective elements, a spinning pattern of light can be produced that is more interesting to observe and far less expensive to produce than similar devices that spin actual electric light sources.
