Lighting ornament

Description

This application is related to commonly assigned and concurrently filed U.S. design patent application Ser. No. 29/264,472, entitled Lighting Fixture. and U.S. design patent application Ser. No. 29/264,471, entitled Portion of a Lighting Fixture, the subject matter of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a lighting ornament in accordance with the new design;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a top view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the lighting ornament of FIG. 1 shown configured in a chandelier in dashed lines having one tier of arms; and,

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the lighting ornament of FIG. 1 shown configured in a chandelier in dashed lines having two tiers of arms.

The broken lines in the figures are for illustration purposes only and form no part of the claimed invention.

The design is understood to comprise one or more randomly orientated strands forming the surface of a hollow sphere. Inconsistencies between the way the strands appear in the different views of the drawings are understood to be caused by the variations in the random, irregular pattern in which the strands are disposed. In addition, light projected through the strands from a light source results in shadows of randomly orientated lines on adjacent surfaces such as walls and ceiling.

Claims
