Abstract
Embodiments provide an illuminated design in a liquid light wall. According to an embodiment, there is provided a liquid light wall including a front wall with a plurality of circular openings through which transparent pipettes may be inserted. The pipettes are filled with a colored liquid. The colored liquid can be edible. A light source shines light from behind the front wall, transferring the light through the pipettes, showcasing a design. The pipettes can be readily removed from the circular openings. Embodiments provide for a modular design of the liquid light wall such that multiple modules can be attached to one another.
Claims18
An apparatus for generating illuminated designs in a liquid light wall, the apparatus comprising:
- a front wall, comprising a plurality of circular openings, each circular opening traversing through from an outside face of the front wall to an inside face of the front wall, and each circular opening having a circular opening diameter;
- a back wall, opposed to the front wall;
- side walls, perpendicularly abutting the front wall and the back wall, such that the front wall, the back wall, and the side walls form a box-like structure;
- a light source, placed inside the box-like structure;
- and
- a plurality of pipettes, each pipette comprising a pipette bulb and a pipette stem, wherein the pipette bulb has a diameter wider than a diameter of the pipette stem;
- wherein each pipette is inserted into one of the plurality of circular openings, such that the pipette stem of each of the plurality of pipettes is configured to extend into the box-like structure and the pipette bulb is configured to extend outside the box-like structure,
- wherein each pipette comprises a pipette material which allows light to pass through the pipette material,
- wherein the diameter of the pipette bulb is wider than the circular opening diameter, such that when each pipette is inserted into one of the plurality of circular openings, the pipette cannot be inserted fully into the box-like structure, and
- wherein the light source is configured to generate light that is transferred through each of the plurality of pipettes.
An apparatus for a liquid light wall module, the apparatus comprising:
- an illuminated module, wherein the illuminated module comprises a front wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, and a back wall, the front wall comprising a plurality of a circular openings dispersed across the front wall, wherein the plurality of circular openings perforate the front wall;
- a plurality of pipettes, each pipette comprising a pipette bulb and a pipette stem, wherein the plurality of pipettes are made of a transparent material;
- and
- a light source, the light source positioned such that light can escape through the plurality of circular openings in the front wall;
- wherein the illuminated module is assembled such that the front wall is affixed perpendicular to the first side wall, the second side wall, the bottom wall, and the top wall, and further wherein the illuminated module is assembled such that the first side wall and the second side wall are parallel to one another, and the top wall and the bottom wall are parallel to one another, such that the illuminated module forms a box-like structure,
- wherein the back wall is positioned parallel to the front wall, further wherein the back wall is affixed perpendicular to the top wall, the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall, and
- wherein the pipette bulb has a diameter larger than a diameter of the circular opening, such that when the pipette stem is inserted into one of the plurality of circular openings, the pipette bulb blocks the circular opening, such that the light passes through the pipettes.
