Abstract:
A kaleidoscope for viewing a first object reflection of a first object and a second object reflection of a second object, which comprises: three panels having front and rear ends with sides and a reflective inner surface therebetween and positioned together such that the reflective inner surfaces of the panels are facing each other such as to form a chamber having a front viewing opening and a rear object opening wherein the three panels are mounted together such that the rear ends of the panels are adjacent each other and the front ends of the panels are adjacent each other and wherein a first side of a first panel is adjacent a second side of a second panel and a second side of the first panel is adjacent a first side of a third panel such that a first side of the second panel is adjacent to a second side of the third panel and the chamber has a triangular shape wherein when the first object is positioned adjacent the rear object opening, the first object reflection is produced, wherein an aperture is provided in one of the panels between the front end and rear end such that when the second object is placed adjacent the aperture, the second object reflection is produced, and wherein an angle between the first side of the first panel and the rear end of the first panel is 90.degree. and the first object reflection has a shape of a dodecahedron comprised of triangles with the angles of 36.degree., 54.degree. and 90.degree..
