Illuminating spinner

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now to FIGS.
1 to 4 of the drawing, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding elements, the illuminating spinner 10 of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG.
1 in its front position, comprises a generally circular body member having a large front opening (not shown), a circular shoulder 12 and a closed rear wall 16 partially shown in FIG.
2.
A circular cap 18 is detachably affixed by any suitable means to the top portion of shoulder 12, such as by snapping it snugly onto the top portion of hub opening 14 or threadedly mounting it thereon.
Spinner 10 includes a large size cavity 20 of circular crosssectional configuration adapted to receive a portion of the electrical components which will be described hereinafter.
In order to gain access to cavity 20, cap 18 can readily be detached from shoulder 12.
The structure of each wing 22 extending outwardly from shoulder 12 includes an aperture 26 in front wall 24 extending lengthwise over the major portion thereof and preferably arranged so that the perimeter of each aperture 26 is substantially parallel to the outer perimeter of front wall 24.
The rear wall 28 is completely closed and extends from the top of wing 22 down to the outer surface of shoulder 12.
Apertures 26 are shielded with a translucent or transparent glass-like cover 38, such as a suitable hard and rigid plastic material usually employed to protect front lights or tail lights of automobiles.
To enhance the illuminating effect of spinner 10, especially in the dark, the plastic material may be colored red, green, yellow or any other color.
However, colorless plastic covers are likewise satisfactory.
Covers 38 are securely attached to the edge portions of apertures 26 by any suitable manner, such as by slidably inserting them in grooves provided in the inner edge portion of the apertures 26.
Although the number of wings 22 in spinner 22 may vary from two to four or even more, if desired, the preferred structure of spinner 10, as shown in FIGS
