Abstract
The invention is titled Light Emitting Diode Address Number Sign and is a new concept for the illumination of house or building numbers for easy recognition at night. The new invention utilizes battery powered light emitting diodes forming individual numbers which, when combined in the proper sequence in a frame, provide the whole number designating the street number of the house or building. This new invention employs a new concept encompassing the manufacture and assembly of pre-wired number modules ready for insertion into a pre-wired frame. The numbers in the sign are available in a choice of colors; white, yellow, red and green.
Claims3
What I claim as my invention is a Light Emitting Diode Address Number Sign utilizing the application of battery operated light emitting diodes for illumination. This is a new concept of electrically illuminated street address sign, non-hard wired and weather-proof, designed for external mounting on homes or buildings.
What I also claim as my invention is the “number module” concept utilizing plastic modules containing individual light emitting diodes arranged in the shape of a number. The module is pre-wired for automatic connection to conductors built into the frame of the sign.
What I also claim as my invention is the method of assembly of the number modules in the frame. The number modules, pre-prepared as individual numbers and pre-wired, allow for the formulation of whole numbers in the frame simply by inserting the number module in the proper sequence to form the whole number of the sign. Upon insertion into the frame, the number is automatically connected to the battery power conductors.
