Light powered mobile

A lamp mobile assembly comprising:

• a base;
• a d.c. motor mounted with said base and having a shaft extending outwardly therefrom;
• a mobile means comprising a shaft-receiving body member, a rod mounted to the body member, a weight mounted to one end of said rod, and a display item mounted to the other end of said rod;
• means for mounting said base to a lamp harp;
• a solar cell;
• means for electrically interconnecting said solar cell and said d.c. motor;
• and means for causing said display item to move in a dimension generally parallel to said shaft one or more times during rotation thereof about said base when powered by said d.c. motor, comprising a magnet mounted to said rod between said display item and said body member, and a magnet mounted to said base.

An assembly for mounting a solar cell to a light bulb receiving socket, comprising:

• a body member having first and second substantially planar portions;
• means defining a bore in said first body portion dimensioned to receive said socket therein, frictionally engaging said socket as it passes through the bore;
• a solar cell mounted to said second body portion on a face thereof closest to a light bulb when received by said socket;
• and hinge means interconnecting said first and second body portions for allowing the relative angular orientation therebetween to be adjusted, with said portions maintained in whatever relative angular orientation they have been moved to.

A lamp mobile assembly comprising:

• a base;
• a d.c. motor mounted with said base and having a shaft extending outwardly therefrom;
• a mobile means comprising a shaft-receiving body member, a rod mounted to the body member, a weight mounted to one end of said rod, and a display item mounted to the other end of said rod, means for mounting said base to a lamp harp;
• a solar cell;
• means for electrically interconnecting said solar cell and said d.c. motor;
• and means for mounting said solar cell to the lamp so that the cell with receive light from a bulb associated with the lamp, comprising a suspension member hanging down from a spider member connected to the lamp harp, and adhesive means for engaging said solar cell formed on a portion of said suspension member remote from said lamp spider.

A lamp mobile assembly comprising:

• a base;
• a d.c. motor mounted with said base and having a shaft extending outwardly therefrom;
• a mobile means comprising a shaft-receiving body member, a rod mounted to the body member, a weight mounted to one end of said rod, and a display item mounted to the other end of said rod;
• means for mounting said base to a lamp harp;
• a solar cell;
• means for electrically interconnecting said solar cell and said d.c. motor;
• a light bulb-receiving socket associated with the lamp harp;
• and means for mounting said solar cell to said socket, said means comprising:
• a base member having a first portion with a bore formed therein and frictionally engaging said socket as said socket passes through said bore;
• a second portion of said base member mounting said solar cell therein on a portion thereof facing a light bulb received by said socket when said first portion receives said socket;
• and hinge means for mounting said first and second portions of said base member together to allow the relative angular orientation therebetween to be adjusted with said portions maintained in whatever relative angular orientation they have been moved to.

A lamp mobile assembly comprising:

• a base;
• a d.c. motor mounted with said base and having a shaft extending outwardly therefrom;
• a mobile means comprising a shaft-receiving body member, a rod mounted to the body member, a weight mounted to one end of said rod, and a display item mounted to the other end of said rod;
• means for mounting said base to a lamp harp;
• a solar cell;
• and means for electrically interconnecting said solar cell and said d.c. motor;
• said d.c. motor including gear reduction means contained within said base for reducing the output speed of said shaft vis-a-vis said motor, and wherein two output shafts extend outwardly from said base, each output shaft extending outwardly from a different portion of said gear reduction means so that each output shaft rotates at a different speed.
