Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'affichage à fibres optiques ornementales comportant une partie d'affichage dotée d'une pluralité de fibres optiques et une partie de commande conçue pour émettre de la lumière en direction de la pluralité de fibres optiques; et une partie corps connectée à la partie d'affichage de manière à exposer partiellement les fibres optiques et également connectée de manière amovible à un objet. La partie corps comporte un élément de fixation maintenu de manière amovible dans l'objet et une pluralité d'évidements conçue pour supporter et guider la pluralité de fibres optiques s'étendant de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur du corps. La pluralité d'évidements est formée suivant un motif préétabli de sorte que la pluralité de fibres optiques puisse être exposée à travers ces évidements selon une structure conforme au motif préétabli. Ce dispositif d'affichage à fibres optiques ornementales peut être par conséquent facilement maintenu dans un objet et retiré du même objet. De plus, étant donné que les fibres optiques émettent de la lumière lors d'un mouvement préétabli, cet appareil d'affichage à fibres optiques ornementales permet de produire un effet esthétique coloré et dynamique.
