  • Patent number: 5232105
    Abstract: A solar powered crystal display is disclosed. The device is used to display various crystal forms in a window. A series of friction drive wheels and a solar powered electric motor are used to rotate the crystals, which are suspended under a plate. The plate is formed into any design desired. For example the plate can be shaped like a cloud, the sun, a star, animals, rainbows, etc. The purpose of the plate is to conceal the drive mechanism from view. The plate is hung from a flange attached to the drive mechanism. The device can also be operated without the plate. An auxiliary drive unit is also disclosed that permits additional crystals to be suspended from the original device. The device can be placed against a window using suction cups or can be suspended from hooks placed into the window casing. As the crystals are rotated, the sunlight will refract through the crystals, producing aesthetical pleasing, colorful patterns in a room.
