  • Patent number: 4854214
    Abstract: A decorative illuminated wind chime apparatus used to produce audio and visual effects from the movement of air currents. The audio effects are accomplished in a conventional manner by the striking of resonant chime tubes by a clapper whose movement is caused by the movement of air. The visual effects are achieved by electrically sensing the collisions of resonant chime tubes with the clapper and illuminating a respective light which is associated with each resonating chime tube. The overall effect is a wind activated audio "chime" which is synchronously accompanied by an associated light display.
