Travel convenience and security device

An apparatus comprising the combination of:

• clock means for counting time;
• clock display means for displaying information describing the time counted by the clock means;
• alarm means for selectively delivering an alarm indication in an ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus, the alarm means including a source of illumination and an audible alarm device;
• condition detecting means for detecting a predetermined condition in the ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus including a motion detector for detecting motion in the ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus;
• and
• means interconnecting the clock means, the clock display means, the alarm means and the condition detecting means and operative for activating the alarm means upon the condition detecting means detecting the predetermined condition, for activating the alarm means upon the clock means counting to a predetermined time, for activating the clock display means, and for activating one of the audible alarm device for the illumination source upon detection of the motion by the motion detector.

• means interconnecting the clock means, the clock display means, the alarm means and the condition detecting means and operative for activating the alarm means upon the condition detecting means detecting the predetermined condition, for activating the alarm means upon the clock means counting to a predetermined time, for activating the clock display means, and for simultaneously activating the audible alarm device and the source of illumination upon the clock means counting to a predetermined alarm time.

An apparatus comprising the combination of:

• a source of directed light for illuminating an ambient environment surrounding said apparatus from a first direction;
• alarm means for selectively delivering an audible alarm indication in the ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus;
• motion detector means for detecting motion from a second different direction in the ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus;
• and
• means interconnecting the illumination source, the alarm means and the motion detector means and operative for activating the illumination source and alarm means upon the motion detector means detecting motion, wherein the apparatus is contained within a housing of a size convenient for packing in one of a suitcase, purse, or pocket when traveling.

An apparatus comprising the combination of:

• a source of illumination for selectively brightly illuminating an ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus and for selectively dimly illuminating the ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus;
• motion detector means for detecting motion in the ambient environment generally surrounding said apparatus;
• and
• means interconnecting the illumination source and the motion detector means and operative for activating the illumination source to brightly illuminate the ambient environment upon the motion detector means detecting motion and to dimly illuminate the ambient environment upon the motion detector means detecting motion, the interconnecting and activating means further deactivating the illumination source after the motion detector means detects no motion, and the interconnecting and activating means further selectively activating the illumination source to create one of either the bright or dim illumination.
