Illuminated mobile construction

Abstract

A decorative mobile formed of interconnected planar members arranged for relative movement and normally supported from a single point on the ceiling of a room, or other supporting location. The individual planar members are of laminated construction, including a centrally disposed base having a printed circuit on at least one surface thereof, the conductors of which extend outwardly on elongated tabs to provide electrical connections to adjacent mechanically interconnected planar members. Mechanical elongated linkage means is provided performing the dual function of completely enclosing the electrical communication between adjacent members, and providing for relative movement about the principal axis of the linkage. At least some of the planar members are provided with incandescent lamps engaging sockets or otherwise communicating with the printed circuitry of the respective planar member. In normal use, the mobile is supported from an electrical outlet communicating with the circuitry. Power transmission by inductive means is also contemplated.
