| Patent Number: |

| Title: |
Fiber Optic Curtain |
| Abstract: |
A fiber optic curtain when activated projects a multitude of bright
pinpoints of light without the use of electrical wires or lamp filaments
for illumination. The curtain has one or more cloth panels with attached
fiber optic strands having tips substantially perpendicular to and
substantially flush with the front face of the panels. Bright pinpoints of
light are formed at the tips when the other ends of the fiber optic
strands are connected to a light source, but the tips are not visible
before the light source is activated.
