System For Projecting a Simulated Liquid Surface

摘要

A projector apparatus that may include a first plurality of adjacent translucent lenses on at least one side of an inner lens, said inner lens configured to rotate and translate about an axis (A) of the inner lens; a second plurality of adjacent translucent lenses formed on at least one side of a concave outer lens; a light source configured to direct a portion of light through the rotatable and translatable inner lens and then through the concave outer lens; and a motor configured to rotatably and translatably drive the inner lens in an oscillating manner about and along the axis of the concave inner lens (A); so that the oscillating inner lens imparts a moving textured image for modification through the fixed concave outer lens for display upon a surface, such as a ceiling to simulate a moving liquid surface.

1. A projector apparatus, comprising:
an oscillatable and translatable inner patterned lens; an outer fixed patterned lens; and a light source configured to direct a portion of light through said oscillatable and translatable inner patterned lens and then through said outer fixed patterned lens, when said inner patterned lens is oscillating and translating.
