Abstract:
A toy for producing a three dimensional aesthetically pleasing image, said toy comprising a handle, a source of illumination, a rotary drive mechanism, and a plate-like member, said plate-like member being rotatable about an axis and having an exterior holographic diffraction surface, said handle being arranged to be held in the hand of a user and holding said rotary drive mechanism therein, said rotary drive mechanism comprising an electrical power source, an electrical switch and an electrically operated motor, said motor being coupled to said power source, said switch and to said plate-like member, whereupon actuation of said switch causes electrical power provided from said power source to said motor to cause said motor rapidly rotate said plate-like member about said axis, whereupon light received by said holographic diffraction surface of said rotating plate-like member produces an aesthetically pleasing illuminated three dimensional image.
