Abstract: A decorative display device comprising an electrically energized lamp, a pair of concentric lampshades surrounding the light bulb. The pair of concentric lampshades are configured so as to create a continuous airspace between the inner and outer lampshades. The outer lampshade has one or more apertures at predetermined locations, the apertures being shaped for a desired design. The outer lampshade has pictorial representation representing a predetermined theme. Inner lampshade pictorial representations are located so as to be viewable through the apertures in the outer lampshade. The inner or outer lampshades are configured with support arms to rotate relative to each other. Caricatures can be supported on arms and located in between the inner and outer lampshades for rotation therebetween to enhance the desired theme. The caricatures can also be made to oscillate up and down.

Abstract: A snowfall simulator which houses and dispenses artificial snow from a box-like housing 20 using agitation. The housing or dispenser has openings 32 uniformly placed on the bottom horizontal plane. Thin shredded white plastic flakes, used for snow, are placed inside and the machine which is mounted directly over the desired area. A small motor 14 is attached to the housing. A light-weight reticulated agitation plate 24, fastened to a support rod 25, resting on the inside bottom horizontal plane of housing, is pivotally connected by gear 16 and shaft 18 to motor. A series of rods 29 and paddles 31 are pivotally attached to rod 25. A series of slats are fastened to the sides of housing, just above, and perpendicular to, the agitation plate 24 and rod 25. The linear motion of the grid 24, rod 25, and push rods 29 and paddles 31, works to slowly agitate the snow flake material out of the housing through the exit holes and onto the window display, theatrical stage, display case, or event.
