Abstract
Modular illuminated trophies comprise a base and a pedestal mounting an upwardly extending tubular column with a figurine or statuette. The columns are secured together by interior rods, and the internal light bars are conformed to clear the rods. Multiple LED's on the light bars illuminate the column interiorly. A control circuit located within the base is operated by a user accessible button. Each decorative column is made from translucent, tinted plastic to distributes or diffuses light. The LED's may be the same color or multi-colored, and they create several different light patterns by flashing, alternating in different patterns, or by fading in and out.
Claims20
A modular trophy comprising:
- a lower base adapted to be disposed upon a supporting surface;
- at least one decorative column rising vertically upwardly from said base;
- an ornament disposed atop said column;
- and,
- means for illuminating said column, said means for illuminating comprising light bar means vertically disposed within said column for supporting a plurality of light sources, circuit means disposed within said base for powering said light bar, and user actuated switch means for actuating said circuit means.
