Abstract
The present invention is directed to a key cap light assembly that produces an efficient beam of light and is adaptable to a variety of key types. The key cap light has an elastomeric sleeve that is adapted to enclose a variety of key heads having different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses. The elastomeric sleeve binds an LED assembly to the key to provide an energy efficient, operator-activated, light source proximate the key.
Claims22
A key cap light adapted for use with keys having key heads of various sizes and shapes, said key cap light comprising:
- an elastomeric sleeve structured to at least partially enclose a key head;
- a pocket defined in said elastomeric sleeve;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) assembly disposed at least partially within said pocket.
A key cap light adapted to fit a first key having a first key head size and a second key having a second key head size, said key cap light comprising:
- an elastomeric sleeve adaptable to a first position for receiving the first key having the first key head size, and further adaptable to a second position for receiving the second key having a second key head size;
- a pocket defined in said elastomeric sleeve;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) assembly disposed at least partially within said pocket.
A key cap light adapted to fit a first key having a first key head size and a second key having a second key head size, said key cap light comprising:
- an elastomeric sleeve adaptable to a first position for receiving the first key having the first key head size, and further adaptable to a second position for receiving the second key having a second key head size;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) assembly releasably coupled to said elastomeric sleeve.
