Patent ID: 8460119

Claim:
A novelty device whereby a second object passes without damage through a high quality three-dimensional copy of a first illuminated object, comprising: a first concave parabolic mirror having a central axis from the center of the mirror to the focal point of the minor and said first minor being outwardly convex from said focal point; a second concave parabolic minor having a central axis from the center of the mirror to the focal point of the mirror and said first minor being outwardly convex from said focal point, said central axis of said second mirror being coincident to said central axis of said first minor; said first concave parabolic minor being disposed adjacent to said second concave parabolic minor, and said outwardly convex portions from each said minor being disposed opposite to each other; said second parabolic mirror having an aperture about and perpendicular to said central axis of said first and second mirrors, and said aperture having a perimeter, and the circumference of said perimeter forming a plane; said first illuminated object disposed between said mirrors and disposed adjacent to said first parabolic minor within the imaginary cylinder formed by said perimeter of said aperture, said combination thereby producing a real image being a high quality three-dimensional copy of said first illuminated object; said real image being perceptible for 360 degrees around said central axis by an observer exterior to said second mirror at an angle of perception 30 to 60 degrees above said plane looking toward said central axis, said angle of perception having an apex located at the intersection of said central axis and said plane; a second device which passes periodically through said real image of said object so that said second device actually passes through said perfectly similar, three-dimensional real image of said first illuminated object thereby creating a unique and incredible novelty device without any necessity of a projector or projection screen nor the necessity of a laser or holographic presentation.
