Claims20
An apparatus for the transfer of patterns to an object, wherein said object having an enclosed volumetric form, and outer shell of varying thickness, comprising:
- a. a projector for the projection of a projected image onto said object, wherein said projector comprising a housing, power source, light source, switch, projection slide, and lens;
- b. projector positioner having an elongated form having thin width as compared to its length, wherein:
- i. said projector positioner having a proximal end and a distal end;
- ii. said proximal end having means of connection to said projector;
- iii. wherein said distal end is penetrated through said outer shell of said object creating a temporary and stable relative position between said object and said projector;
- c. wherein said housing providing structure and enclosure of said power source, said light source, said switch, and said lens;
- d. wherein said projection slide comprising a semitransparent miniature version of the desired projection image to be projected onto the surface of said object;
- e. wherein said switch is actuated, thereby connecting said power source to said light source, which projects light across said projection slide, and through said lens, which terminates on said object as said projected image;
An apparatus for the transfer of patterns to an object, wherein said object having an enclosed volumetric form, and outer shell of varying thickness, comprising:
- a. a projector for the projection of a projected image onto said object, wherein said projector having means of projecting an image onto said object;
- b. projector positioner having an elongated form having thin width as compared to its length, wherein:
- i. said projector positioner having a proximal end and a distal end;
- ii. said proximal end having means of connection to said projector;
- iii. wherein said distal end is penetrated through said outer shell of said object creating a temporary and stable relative position between said object and said projector;
A method for the transfer of patterns to an object, comprising:
- a. providing said object having an enclosed volumetric form, an outer shell of varying thickness;
- b. providing an apparatus for the transfer of patterns to an object comprising;
- i. a projector for the projection of a projected image onto said object, wherein said projector having means of projecting an image onto said object;
- ii. projector positioner having an elongated form having thin width as compared to its length, wherein:
- 1. said projector positioner having a proximal end and a distal end;
- 2. said proximal end having means of connection to said projector;
- 3. wherein said distal end is penetrated through said outer shell of said object creating a temporary and stable relative position between said object and said projector;
- c. securing said proximal end of said projector positioner to said projector;
- d. penetrating said distal end of said projector positioner through said outer shell of said object, creating a temporary and stable relative position between said projector and said object;
- e. activating said projector, wherein said projected image is projected onto said outer shell of said object;
