Fluid filled light apparatus
First Claim
1. A fluid-filled light apparatus to provide light and to produce a plurality of visual effects, comprising:
- a first outer transparent tube with first and second terminal ends of a first diameter to hold liquid and first decorative objects therein;
a second inner transparent tube with first and second terminal ends of a diameter smaller than the first diameter positioned within the outer transparent tube to hold liquid and second decorative objects therein, the second terminal end of the first outer transparent tube extending beyond the second terminal end of the second inner transparent tube;
a transparent tube cap of the same diameter as the outer transparent tube which seals the first terminal end of each of the outer and inner transparent tubes;
the second terminal end of each of the outer and inner transparent tubes being transparent;
a first magnetic rotor positioned at the second terminal end of the first outer transparent tube, the first magnetic rotor having a first rotor with a plurality of stirrer arms disposed therein and a first magnet mounted within the first rotor;
a second magnetic rotor positioned at the second terminal end of the second inner transparent tube above the first magnetic rotor, the second magnetic rotor having a second rotor with a plurality of stirrer arms disposed therein and a second magnet mounted within the second rotor; and
a base member connected to the second terminal end of the outer transparent tube, the base member including a mechanism to cause movement of the first and second magnetic rotors and an illuminating unit to provide light.

Abstract
A fluid-filled light apparatus comprises a two-tube transparent container which provides light and produces distinct visual effects. The two-tube transparent container comprises an inner transparent tube suspended within an outer transparent tube. First terminal ends of each of the transparent tubes is sealed by a transparent tube cap which suspends the inner transparent tube within the outer transparent tube. A second terminal end of the outer transparent tube attaches the transparent tubes as one assembly to a base member. Each transparent tube holds liquid and decorative objects. The base member includes a motor, a power supply and an illuminating unit. Through magnetic coupling, the motor drives a magnet attached to a shaft of the motor which rotates and causes magnetic rotors positioned at the second terminal end of each of the transparent tubes to simultaneously rotate, causing liquids to spin and suspend decorative objects to produce a first visual effect in the outer inner transparent tube and a second visual effect in the inner transparent tube. The illuminating unit provides light through the transparent second terminal ends of each of the transparent tubes which enhances the visual effects produced.
