Abstract

884,023. Orreries. MUSSER, C. O.\ Dec. 21, 1959, No. 43310/59. Class 146(2) An orrery comprises a housing having a flat translucent screen 14 upon which lights, assimulating planets and the asteroid belt are shone, the lights being mounted on arms 36 and geared to rotate at relative speeds around a lamp 40 representing sun. The planets are represented by lamps the brightness of which can be adjusted by resistors 62 so that an enlarged area of the screen 14 is illuminated and so correspond to the particular planet. The asteroid belt is represented by an annular chamber comprising lamps 47 a screen 48 with small openings 49. The paths of comets may be illustrated by an additional screen in front of screen 14. This additional screen is marked with indicia composed of phosphor which is only visible when an ultra violet light source is switched on.
