Abstract:
1. An apparatus for projecting images, comprising: a light bulb projector assembly comprising a bulb adapter adapted for electrical connection in a light bulb socket and a projector selectively powered by the light bulb socket via the light bulb socket, wherein the projector receives an image stream and, in response, projects light with imagery; a lens assembly receiving the projected light and directing the projected light onto a projection surface; a harp supporting the light bulb socket; and a projection screen supported upon the harp with an interior surface extending about the light bulb socket and the received light bulb projector, whereby the interior surface provides at least a portion of the projection surface, wherein the lens assembly is mounted on the harp a distance apart from the projector and comprises a mirrored reflector with an exterior surface receiving a first portion of the projected light and directing it outward toward the interior surface, wherein the mirrored reflector is bullet shaped, and wherein the lens assembly further includes a lens for receiving a second portion of the projected light and directing the second portion in a direction parallel to a central axis of an outlet lens of the projector, whereby the second portion is focused on a ceiling or surface above the apparatus.
