Appl. No.:

10/015081

Inventors:

James Guy - Mesa AZ, US
Brian Scanlan - Mesa AZ, US

International Classification:

F21V008/00

US Classification:

362/554000, 362/551000, 362/287000, 362/418000

Abstract:

A rotating fiber flasher system is provided that supports a light guide or plurality of light guides capable of accepting energy from a light source and transmitting that energy to a plurality of optical fibers supported by a manifold. The system produces a light flash by illuminating the optical fibers successively as the light guide rotates. The optical fibers transmit the optical flashes to a luminaire which refracts or reflects the optical flashes about a desired arc. The fiber flasher system allows an optical signal to be periodically generated in a plurality of directions around a 360 path, and requires less power to operate than systems which attempt to provide optical illumination about an entire 360 arc continuously, 2 steradian hemi-sphere or 4 sphere.

Abstract:

A paper-roll core that is a soluble, disposable carrier for cleaning and/or disinfecting chemicals. The paper-roll cores are toilet paper roll cores and paper towel roll cores and are rapidly soluble in water and may release cleansers, disinfectants, colors, etc., upon dissolving. Described are: methods of using, manufacturing, advertising, and distributing the paper-roll cores; and methods of advertising and distributing such paper-roll cores to children, who will particularly enjoy the novelty; and methods of modifying existing paper-roll core manufacturing equipment to manufacture soluble cleanser-dispensing paper-roll cores.
