Abstract
A laser lighting device configured to provide two levels of image adjustment. An end piece provides first range of motion along the longitudinal axis of the laser, and controls image size projected from the laser. The end piece also allows for a number of masks to be utilized with the laser so that the projected light may be projected in various images shapes. A cap piece is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the laser and may create various patterns in the light being projected, such as spots sparkles, and other patterns, or fill textures to the projected image of variable size.
Claims16
A decorative laser device comprising:
- a laser device emitting a beam of coherent light;
- and
- a beam modification device disposed substantially perpendicular to, and in the path of the beam of coherent light, and adjustably coupled to the laser device to produce a decorative light, the beam modification device having a slot to removably receive a slide with an image to produce a desired decorative light, the beam modification device providing two levels of adjustment to the decorative light, wherein a first level of adjustment provides rotation of the decorative light by a continuously rotatable front piece, and the second level of adjustment is provided by a longitudinal sliding mechanism that provides continuously variable adjustment of a size of the decorative light.
A laser device comprising:
- a laser device having a cylindrical shaped body including a long axis of the cylindrical shaped body along which a laser light is emitted, and having a first diffraction grating disposed in a path of the light, and fixed in position relative to the light;
- and
- an tubular shaped end cap axially and slidably coupled about the long axis, and rotatably coupled about the long axis to the cylindrical shaped body, the tubular shaped end cap including at one end a second diffraction grating disposed in the path of the light, and in rotatable relationship to the laser light, whereby adjustment of an orientation of a pattern, and a size of the diffraction pattern produced by an interaction of the laser light on the first and second diffraction pattern may be adjusted.
A laser device comprising:
- a laser device having a elongate shaped body including a long axis of the elongate shaped body along which a laser light is emitted, and having a first diffraction grating disposed in a path of the light and rotatably coupled to a reduced diameter protrusion extending from the elongate shaped body;
- and
- an end cap axially coupled about the long axis to the elongate shaped body, the end cap including at one end a second diffraction grating disposed in the path of the light, and in rotatable relationship to the laser light, whereby adjustment of an orientation of a pattern, and a size of the diffraction pattern produced by an interaction of the laser light on the first and second diffraction pattern may be adjusted.
