Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for making artificial snow comprises: a) a reservoir for an evaporative snow solution; b) a fluid line with an upper end and a lower end; c) a pump to deliver the evaporative snow solution through the fluid line to a fan at or near the upper end of the fluid line; d) a sock; e) an illuminating means which is configured to illuminate the artificial snow once produced and falling; and f) a ventilated protective membrane around the illuminating means to prevent ingress of fluid; wherein the entire apparatus is contained within the body of a decorative device, and wherein the sock is disposed at or near an upper area of said device, and wherein the fan is capable of blowing the evaporative solution from the upper end of the fluid line through the fabric of the sock so as to create a foam-like snow.
