  • Patent number: 6196706
    Abstract: A glowing light assembly includes a base and a spherical wall which includes at least one embedded foreign object and defines an inner cavity containing an electric light member which causes the molded shell to glow and cast shadows without melting. The shell is constructed according to a unique molding method which includes at least partially immersing a swollen distensible mold into a reservoir of molding material to allow the molding material to form a molded layer around the distensible mold. After the distensible mold with the attached molded layer is removed from the reservoir of molding material, it is placed upon a flat surface to form a flat bottom into the shell. A foreign object is then mounted to the inner layer, and the distensible mold with the attached layer is again immersed in the reservoir of molding material to form a second, outer, layer of molded material and embed the foreign object into the shell.

  • Patent number: 5980061
    Abstract: A primary outer shell includes, in its most preferred embodiment, a base and a wall which includes at least one embedded foreign object and defines openings into an inner cavity containing a burnable candle member which causes the outer shell to glow and cast shadows without melting. The outer shell is constructed according to a unique molding method which includes at least partially immersing a swollen distensible mold, such as a water-filled balloon, into a reservoir of molding material, such as wax, to allow the molding material to form a molded shell around the distensible mold. After the distensible mold with the attached molded shell is removed from the reservoir of molding material, it is placed upon a flat surface to form a flat bottom into the molded shell.
