Method and apparatus for producing an illuminated animation effect

An apparatus for producing an animation effect, comprising:

• a first light reflecting member, said first light reflecting member comprising a first surface and a second surface;
• a first light source, said first light source operatively arranged to emit light, said light from said first light source entering said first member through said first surface and exiting said first member through said second surface;
• a second light reflecting member, said second light reflecting member comprising a first surface and a second surface;
• a second light source, said second light source operatively arranged to emit light, said light from said second source entering said second member through said first surface and exiting said second member through said second surface;
• and,
• means to intermittently activate said first and second light sources to produce said animation effect;
• wherein said members comprise candle flame shapes, said members operatively arranged to produce said animation effect of a candle flame flickering.

An apparatus for producing an animation effect, comprising:

• a first light reflecting member, said first light reflecting member comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein said second surface of said first member is beaded;
• a first light source, said first light source operatively arranged to emit light, said light from said first light source entering said first member through said first surface and exiting said first member through said second surface;
• a second light reflecting member, said second light reflecting member comprising a first surface and a second surface;
• a second light source, said second light source operatively arranged to emit light, said light from said second source entering said second member through said first surface and exiting said second member through said second surface;
• and,
• means to intermittently activate said first and second light sources to produce said animation effect.

An apparatus for producing an animation effect, comprising:

• a first light reflecting member, said first light reflecting member comprising a beveled edge operatively arranged to reflect light from a first light source;
• a second light reflecting member, said second light reflecting member comprising a beveled edge operatively arranged to reflect light from a second light source;
• and,
• means to intermittently activate said first and second light sources to produce said animation effect;
• wherein said members comprise candle flame shapes, said members operatively arranged to produce said animation effect of a candle flame flickering.
