Abstract
An illumination device for a household remote control comprising a resiliently flexible C-shaped support having a first end that engages the top surface of the remote control and a second end that engages the bottom surface of the remote control. A light source is supported within the C-shaped support for lighting the top surface of the remote control and is powered by a solar power cell. If the solar power cell fails, a battery provides back-up power to the light source. The C-shaped support also preferably has a window therethrough for allowing the remote signal of the remote control to pass through the window and operate the television or VCR.
Claims10
An illuminating device for a remote control, comprising:
- a body having a first end engageable with a top surface of the remote control, a front portion extending forwardly of and adjacent a front end of the remote control and a second end engageable with a bottom surface of the remote control;
- an illuminating means for lighting the top surface of the remote control supported by said body;
- an electrical source in connection with said illuminating means for providing power to said illuminating means;
- said body including a window formed in said front portion which allows a remote signal to project from the front end of the remote control through said window.
An illuminating device for a remote control, comprising:
- a body having a first end engageable with a top surface of the remote control and a second end engageable with a bottom surface of the remote control;
- an illuminating means for lighting the top surface of the remote control supported by said body;
- an electrical source in connection with said illuminating means for providing power to said illuminating means;
- said body including a window which allows a remote signal from the remote control to pass through said body;
- and
- said electrical source being solar powered.
An illuminating device for a remote control, comprising:
- a resiliently flexible body having a first end engageable with a top surface of the remote control and a second end engageable with a bottom surface of the remote control so that said body angularly elevates the remote control;
- an illuminating means for lighting the top surface of the remote control housed within said body;
- a solar powered electrical source housed within said body and in connection with said illuminating means for providing power to said illuminating means,
- said body having a window which allows a remote signal from the remote control to pass through said body.
An illuminating device for a remote control, comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end which form an opening therebetween;
- an illuminating means for lighting the top surface of the remote control;
- and
- an electrical source housed within said body and in connection with said illuminating means for providing power to said illuminating means;
- said first and second ends being flexible between a first unassembled position and a second assembled position so that said first end engages a top surface of the remote control and said second end engages a bottom surface of the remote control when said first and second ends are in said assembled position and thereby clamp said body onto the remote control;
- said body including a front portion extending forwardly of and adjacent a front end of the remote control and having a window formed therein through which a remote signal from the front end of the remote control projects.
An illuminating device for a remote control, comprising:.
- a body having a first end and a second end which form an opening therebetween;
- an illuminating means for lighting the top surface of the remote control;
- and
- an electrical source housed within said body and in connection with said illuminating means for providing power to said illuminating means;
- said first and second ends being flexible between a first unassembled position and a second assembled position so that said first end engages a top surface of the remote control and said second end engages a bottom surface of the remote control when said first and second ends are in said assembled position and thereby clamp said body onto the remote control;
- said body including a window through which a remote signal from the remote control projects;
- said body being resiliently flexible and said electrical source is solar powered.
