DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0057] The following discussion describes in detail an embodiment of the invention. This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to this particular embodiment, practitioners skilled in the art will recognize other embodiments as well. For definition of complete scope of the invention, the reader is directed to appended claims.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 1, shown is an illustrative view of the present invention in use. The present invention is a decorative infinity display comprising of front frame 22, housing 23, a two way mirror 24, an illuminable assembly 26 having a plurality of lights 28, an on/off switch 32 and a wall plug 34. A back panel 36 having a mirror 38 that reflects the lights 28 giving an image 39 of infinity is also provided.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 2, shown is an illustrative view of the present invention in use. Shown is a peripheral front frame having a two way mirror fixedly attached thereto with wall(s) forming chamber for the illuminable display. The frame, wall(s) and back wall are illustrated as polygonal but it is envisioned that they may also be ovoid.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 3, shown is a perspective view of the middle portion of the present invention. Shown is the illuminable assembly 26 comprising support structure 44 having receptacles 46 to receive a corresponding number of lights 28, which may be incandescent bulbs or light emitting diodes (LEDs). Furthermore, the power source may be an electrical grid or provided by renewal energy, such as wind and solar.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 4, shown is a perspective view of a back portion of the present invention. Shown is the back panel 36 of the decorative infinity display 20 having the mirror 38 fixedly attached thereto.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 5, shown is a partial exploded perspective view of the present invention. Shown is an exploded view of the decorative infinity display 20 having the frame 22 with the two way mirror 24 covering an opening 43 of the frame 22 that is fixedly attached to the walls 40 of the housing 23 in which mates to the back panel 36 having the mirror 38 thereon, thereby creating the chamber 42 to receive the illuminable assembly 26 therein.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 6, shown is a partial exploded perspective view of the present invention. Shown is a partial exploded view of the decorative infinity display 20 having the frame 22, housing 23, and aluminum assembly 26 affixed to back panel 36 and mirror 38 not assembled.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 7, shown is an assembled perspective view of the present invention. Shown is the decorative infinity display fully assembled and having the frame 22, two way mirror 24, the housing 23, the illuminable assembly 26, the electrical cord 30 having the on/off switch 32 with wall plug 34, and back panel 36 having a mirror 38 that reflects the lights 28 giving the image 39 of infinity.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 8, shown is an assembled front view of the present invention taken in the direction of arrow 8 in FIG. 7. Shown is the decorative infinity display 20 fully assembled and in operation having the two way mirror 24 covering the opening 43 of the frame 22, so that when illuminated the points of light between the two mirrors 24, 28 will generate a reducing infinity image 39.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 9, shown is an exploded perspective view of all the elements of the present invention. Shown is an exploded view of the decorative infinity display 20 having flanges 48 peripherally extending from the illuminable assembly 26 that will hold the illuminable assembly 26 to the walls 40 of the housing 23 preventing casual displacement during use. The illuminable assembly 26 may also have exterior channels 50 to receive the positioning flanges 48.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 10, shown is a partial exploded perspective view of the present invention. Shown is the decorative infinity display 20 having the frame 22 with the fixedly attached two way mirror 24. The back panel 36 having the reflective mirror 38 is fixedly attached with the walls 40 extending between the front frame 22 and the back panel 36 forming the chamber 42 to receive the illuminable assembly 26 having the plurality of lights 28. The beams reflecting between the two way mirror 24 and the mirror 38 on the back panel 36 will generate the infinitely reducing image 39 when the power is turned on. Further provided the image 39 is viewable on the exterior side of the two way mirror 24. When the display is not illuminated the image 39 will not be visible.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 11, shown is an assembled perspective view of the present invention similar to FIG. 7. Shown is the decorative infinity display 20 fully assembled and in operation having the frame 22, the plurality of lights 28, the electrical cord 30, the on/off switch 32 with the wall plug 34. The back panel 36 has the mirror 38 that reflects the lights 28 giving the image 39 of infinity.

[0069] It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.

[0070] While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
