Abstract

Abstract A luminous display device for projecting various colored light rays in a moving effect, the device consisting of an electric light socket fitted with a standard flood light or spot light lamp bulb and which is enclosed within an outer shade, the shade being open at its front end within which there is a front frame support secured by means of spring clips, the front frame support having a series of openings therethrough so to permit light rays from the bulb to pass therethrough, and the front frame support supporting a rotatable metallic conductor reflector with a series of tabs struck out therefrom, the tabs being bent up at right angles to the plane of the metallic conductor reflector, one side of the tabs having a highly polished surface on one side while the opposite side thereof has a dull matte black applied thereto, the conductor reflector of the device being caused to rotate by convection currents generated by the heat of the bulb, and each of the struck out openings in the conductor reflector being fitted with variously colored glass through which the light rays penetrate.
