Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a bird bath. In one configuration, a frame as a plurality lighting elements therein. A stand is provided for supporting the frame. The bath may include a control component for controlling the lighting elements and a photovoltaic cell for providing power to the lighting elements. In another aspect, the frame may include a plurality of spiral frame members. In yet another aspect, the spiral members have a channel pathway and the lighting elements are disposed in the channel pathway. In yet another aspect, the frame may includes a plurality of radial members. In yet another aspect, the radial members have a channel pathway and the lighting elements are disposed in the channel pathway.

Claims (38)

a control component for controlling the lighting elements; and

a photovoltaic cell for providing power to the plurality of lighting elements.

9. A bird bath comprising:

a frame having:

a plurality of frame members;

a plurality of lighting elements, each lighting element disposed in a respective frame member of the plurality of frame members; and

a vibratory device;

a stand for supporting the frame;

a control component for controlling the lighting elements;

a photovoltaic cell for providing power to the plurality of lighting elements; and

a light transmissive basin detachably mounted on the frame, wherein the vibratory device is configured for vibrating the frame with the basin.

10. A bird bath comprising:

a frame having:

a plurality of frame members; and

a plurality of lighting elements, each lighting element disposed in a respective frame member of the plurality of frame members;

a stand for supporting the frame;

a control component for controlling the lighting elements;

at least one of (i) a plurality of suction cups for holding a basin thereon and (ii) a vibratory device for vibrating the frame; and
