Abstract:
An apparatus to provide illumination comprising;(a) a first plurality of optical fibres each with a proximal and a distal end wherein the proximal ends are bundled together; (b) a second plurality of optical fibres each with a proximal and a distal end wherein the proximal ends are bundled together; (b) a housing containing a single light source and a roller track system having at least two rollers; (c) means to rotatably drive at least one of said rollers; (d) a color sleeve loop aligned on said roller track system so that as a first roller driven by the drive means rotates said color sleeve loop is caused to travel along the roller track system in a continuous motion; and (e) said color sleeve loop is positioned to rotate past and in between said light source and said proximal ends of said first plurality of fibres and said proximal ends of said second plurality of fibres; (f) said color sleeve loop comprises a first section and a second section alone its length; (g) said first section includes a first pattern of color; (h) said second section includes a second pattern of color; (i) said bundled ends of said first and second pluralities of optical fibres are proximate one another and separated by a divider; and (j) said bundled ends of said first and second pluralities of optical fibres are positioned over said first and second sections of said color sleeve loop, respectively, with said divider aligned between said first and second sections of said color sleeve loop.
