ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises an illuminated fiber ornament which can be interconnected to like ornaments to form a multitude of shapes. The ornament has stiffened optic fibers which provides rigidity not found in the prior art while retaining flexibility and resilience. The ornament can be made in specific, permanent shapes, such as a child's toy stuffed teddy bear. The ornament can also be provided as modular units which can be assembled and modified to provide personalized designs. The light transmission and light dispersion patterns of the ornament may be varied by the inclusion of light altering material in the ornament and by deforming the ends of the optic fibers. Preferred materials include synthetic polymers for a central solid member, and polystyrene filament for optic fibers. The preferred stiffener for the optic fibers is acrylic coating.
