Abstract
A growing pane is made of a base, a plurality of triangular gnomons placed one section apart, and arranged at different positions which are suited for the stage it holds, a rod-like gnomon that provides support to the plurality of triangular gnomons for defining an intended use of telling time and the stainless glass creates a solid line of shadow that defines the colored reflection of the opaque design, wherein, the opaque design in the plurality of triangular gnomons projected to the surface when the sunlight falls over the clear pane of glass. The opaque design in the plurality of triangular gnomons changes the position on the surface when the position of the sun changes.
Claims4
A growing pane, wherein the growing pane comprises:
- a base;
- and
- a plurality of triangular gnomons, wherein each of the plurality of triangular gnomons is comprised of a transparent pane, wherein at least one of the transparent panes includes an opaque design, the plurality of triangular gnomons being positioned around a vertical support structure connected to the base. wherein, the stainless glass image in the plurality of triangular gnomons projected to a surface when sunlight falls over a clear pane of glass, wherein the opaque design in the plurality of triangular gnomons is projected onto a surface and the position of the projected design on the surface changes when the position of a sun changes.
A method to project a decorative image on to a surface comprising:
- positioning a growing pane, wherein the growing pane comprises:
- a base;
- and
- a plurality of triangular gnomons, wherein each of the plurality of triangular gnomons is comprised of a transparent pane, wherein at least one of the transparent panes includes an opaque design, the plurality of triangular gnomons being positioned around a vertical support structure connected to the base in sunlight;
- receiving sunlight on to one of the plurality of triangular gnomons,
- projecting the decorative image on to a surface at a first location;
- receiving sunlight on to another of the plurality of triangular gnomons;
- and
- projecting the decorative image onto a surface at a second location.
