Abstract: A fiber optic display device reciprocates fiber optics to create decorative optical fiber light displays. The device can include one or more optical fibers contained at one end by a holding member and left suspended freely at the other end. The holding member and optical fibers are functionally attached about a pivot point axis that is across the longitudinal axis of the fibers and the holding member, to a housing. A light source can be affixed to either the holding member or the housing, opposite the freely suspended optical fiber ends, and is oriented to expose and illuminate the optical fibers. A drive means causes the holding member and optical fibers to reciprocate back and forth about the pivot point axis of the holding member.

Abstract: An optical fiber display apparatus includes a housing, a holding member moveable about a pivot point axis functionally connected to the housing, and one or more fiber optic strands having a first end attached to the holding member and a second end unrestrained. The fiber optic strands define a longitudinal axis, and the pivot point axis of the holding member is non-parallel to the fiber strands axis such that movement of the holding member about the pivot point axis causes the second unrestrained end of the fiber strand to move back and forth along a line that is non-parallel to the longitudinal fiber strand axis. A light source illuminates the first end of the fiber strands, so that light emits from the second end of the fiber strands.
