Abstract: A headlight lens is fabricated from photochromic glass so that the headlight is not noticeable during daylight hours when subjected to ultraviolet light. At night, in the absence of ultraviolet light, the lens is transparent and emits the light from inside the headlight.

Abstract: A torroidal ring member including a central bore is arranged to receive a Christmas tree therethrough above the Christmas tree support base. The torroidal ring includes an outer cylindrical wall concentric with an inner cylindrical wall, with the outer cylindrical wall including a continuous array of electrical receptacle members therewithin to receive electrical receptacle portions of Christmas tree lights mounted to the associated tree. A modification of the invention includes the torroidal ring member formed with first and second semi-cylindrical portions securable together to form the torroidal ring member. Each semi-cylindrical housing is arranged to accommodate a fluid trough to contain a scented potpourri therewithin for projection through an apertured plate positioned above each trough.

Abstract: A display which is in the form of a sheet of transparent material having imprinted on one side thereof the upper portion of a head of an animal and having on the other side a layer of a non-permanent adhesive. The display is mounted on the rear window of an automobile, the automobile being of the type which includes a brake light on the rear window. The display is mounted on the window such that the brake light is where the nose of the animal would be located. In use, when the brakes are applied, the brake light is turned on giving the appearance that the nose intermittently lights up.

Abstract: The present invention provides a light display system for projecting a double-pattern light display. A luminaire holding the lamp and light control devices and projecting a primary first light beam is fixed to a first housing that in turn is nonrotatably mounted to a control bar. A second housing containing a fixed reflector apparatus adapted to receive a light beam from the luminaire is connected to and rotatable relative to the first housing about a first axis. At least two mirrors fixed to the second housing are positioned at an angle relative to the first axis and receive portions of the first light beam as second light beams. The fixed mirrors are rotatable with the second housing about the first axis. The rotatable mirrors project the second light beams to at least two rotatable mirrors each associated with a fixed mirror and the rotatable mirrors project the second light beams as third light beams about a second axis transverse to the first axis.

Abstract: This invention provides an illuminating device characterized in that the device comprises a light-transmitting rod for transmitting the light incident on one end thereof toward the otehr end, a diffusion pattern formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod by adhering a fine powder of high refractive index in the shape of a line extending continuously or discretely axially of the rod, and a transparent protective tube covering the peripheral surface of the rod with a circumferential clearance formed between the rod and the tube, the clearance between the rod and the protective tube being sealed off at opposite ends thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a light display system for projecting a double-pattern light display. A luminaire holding the lamp and light control devices is fixed to a first housing that in turn is nonrotatably mounted mounted to a control bar. A second housing containing a fixed reflector apparatus adapted to receive the light beam from the luminaire is connected to and rotatable relative to the first housing about a first axis. The second housing contains a reflector rotatable about a second axis. The rotatable reflector receives the light beam from the fixed reflector apparatus and projects the beam in a geometric configuration, preferably a vertical plane that contains the first axis. A pan driver attached to the first housing rotates the second housing about the first axis by way of a gear and belt mechanism that is connected to a cylindrical mounting member attached to the second housing. The stationary luminaire directs the light beam through a cylindrical passage in the cylindrical mounting member.

Abstract: A headlamp lens having at least one of its aiming pads provided with an aim cap and a method for bonding the aim cap to the aiming pad.

Abstract: When examing visually uneven surfaces the problem is the disappearing of the areas remaining in the shade from the picture. To the lighting device in accordance wiht the invention for illumination of and elimination of shades from uneven surface (1) belong a source of light (2), a mainly globular reflecting contrivance (3), the interior surface of which is equipped with reflecting material, and to which openings (4, 5) for the examining of the surface and holes (6) for conducting of the light into the reflecting contrivance are formed, as well as a reflector element (7) for reflecting of light through the opening (4) into the reflecting contrivance.

Abstract: A fisherman's appliance to aid in attracting fish to a baited fish hook or artificial lure having a pair of spaced non-transparent circular plates between which is disposed an electric lamp bulb for directly illuminating surrounding water in which the appliance is suspended radially and horizontally outwardly from the appliance and in a relatively narrow vertical beam above and below the level of the appliance in the water.

Abstract: A personal security device incorporated into a conventional flashlight for informing a person, by remote control means, who is outside the door of the house, and indicating by a picture, whether it is a man, woman or child, the picture appearing on a view screen of a unit mounted on the flashlight, so that a person is thus cautioned against opening the door, particularly if there is a man outside.

Abstract: Beautifully and balanced colored shadows can be cast of an object by using a lamp for emitting colored light in the range yellow to red, a lamp for emitting green colored light and a lamp for emitting colored light in the range violet to blue to give intensity ratios of illumination in the ranges of0.05 .ltoreq. I.sub.R /(I.sub.R + I.sub.G + I.sub.B) .ltoreq. 0.85;0.05 .ltoreq. i.sub.g /(i.sub.r + i.sub.g + i.sub.b) .ltoreq. 0.8; and0.02 .ltoreq. I.sub.B /(I.sub.R + I.sub.G + I.sub.B) .ltoreq. 0.8wherein I.sub.R designates an intensity of illumination caused by irradiating with only the lamp in the R group the shadow of an object cast by both of the lights of the lamps in the G group and the B group; I.sub.G designates an intensity of illumination caused by irradiating with only the lamp in the G group the shadow of the object cast by both of the lights of the lamps in the R group and the B group and I.sub.
