TITLE: ILLUMINATING TOY UTILIZING CAPTIVE LIGHT CONDUCTING ELEMENTS ABSTRACT A toy for displaying an illuminated pattern has a first and second panel located in a housing, each panel includng an equal number of a plurality of openings aligned with the openings of the other panel. Located between the panels are light conducting members and an opaque membrane having a plurality of apertures, both the light conducting members and the apertures equal in num- ber to and aligned with the openings in the panels. The light conducting members are fixedly retained in the housing and are positionable in a first, or closed, position, and a second, or open, position in association with the panels. Each light conducting member is capable of being moved from its first to its second posi- tion. When the light conducting members are in the closed position, the apertures, which are closed, inhibit trans- mission of light through the light conducting members. When any light conducting member is depressed to the second, or open position, that light conducting member moves into at least partial engagement with the aperture with which it is aligned, thus temporarily completing an optical pathway between the opening in the second panel and the viewing surface of the toy. A reset means asso- ciated with the housing resets each of the light conduct- ing members to its first, or closed position, allowing the user of the toy to create an unlimited number of new and different patterns at will.
