Abstract:
A display device which provides an entertaining/relaxing visual display showing the formation of a stretched and moved sheet of a viscoelastic solution comprising:a bottom chamber capable of containing a volume of a viscoelastic solution, said bottom chamber having a bottom floor and side walls and having an open area above the bottom floor; a volume of a fluid comprising a viscoelastic solution held in said bottom chamber, said viscoclastic solution having an upper surface; and a solid drawing element movable from a position above the upper surface of the viscoelastic solution to a position wherein at least a portion of the solid drawing element can enter the upper surface of the viscoelastic solution and can enter the volume of the viscoelastic solution and can be moved to a position wherein at least a portion of the solid drawing element can be drawn upwardly from said upper surface of the viscoelastic solution supporting a held volume of viscoelastic solution, said viscoelastic solution being raised by the drawing element without the necessity of an enclosed liquid raising container, and can be moved to a position where it is capable of being maintained above the upper surface for a time sufficient for a portion of said held volume to drain from said solid drawing element thereby forming a moving sheet of viscoelastic solution between the drawing element and the upper surface of the viscoelastic solution to create an interesting visual effect and said lifting element permitting the draining of the viscoelastic solution as soon as it raises above the upper surface of the viscoelastic solution.
