Abstract
An animation device for producing animation of interlaced coded images with inner and outer sleeves retained for concentric rotation, a plurality of coded images retained by one sleeve, and a plurality of spaced shutter elements and interposed viewing elements retained by the other sleeve. The inner and outer sleeves are retained by a base structure with one sleeve rotatable in relation to the base structure and the other sleeve fixed against rotation relative to the base structure. A light source can be disposed within the inner sleeve, and a motor can rotate a platform that retains the rotatable sleeve. The fixed sleeve can be encased and fixed in position by a frusto-conical sleeve forming a fixation member. The inner and outer sleeves can be precisely formed by alignment of registration apertures on a peg board with registration pegs.
