Theft-proof removable door handle illumination device

(Currently amended) In combination:

• a door assembly including a door frame, a door hung on the frame for movement into and out of a closed position, and hardware selectively securing the door to the frame when the door is in a closed position;
• and
• a theft-proof removable illumination device including—
• a base separate from and mounted to the door assembly,
• a door hardware illumination assembly operable to provide illumination of the hardware, and
• a case separate from and removably supported on the base,
• said case presenting a generally enclosed internal compartment in which the illumination assembly is at least substantially contained, μsaid case presenting a wall that defines at least in pan the internal compartment, with the wall being adjacent to and separate from the base to thereby serving-to separate the internal compartment from the base,
• said case and base being interconnected in such a manner that, when the door is closed, removal of the case from the base is prevented by interengagement of the case and door assembly.

In combination:

• a door assembly including a door frame, a door hung on the frame for movement into and out of a closed position, and hardware selectively securing the door to the frame when the door is in a closed position;
• and
• a theft-proof removable illumination device including—
• a base separate from and mounted to the door assembly,
• a door hardware illumination assembly operable to provide illumination of the hardware, and
• a case separate from the base and supporting the illumination assembly,
• said case and base being removably interconnected in such a manner that disconnection of the case from the base requires movement of the case in a disconnect direction,
• said device being mounted to the door assembly so that when the door is closed movement of the case is in the disconnect direction is restricted by the door assembly thereby preventing disconnection of the case from the base, and when the door is open movement of the case in the disconnect direction is permitted thereby allowing disconnection of the case from the base.

In combination:

• a door assembly including a door frame, a door hung on the frame for movement into and out of a closed position, and hardware selectively securing the door to the frame when the door is in a closed position;
• and
• a theft-proof removable illumination device including—
• a base mounted to either one of the frame or door,
• a door hardware illumination assembly operable to provide illumination of the hardware, and
• a case supporting the illumination assembly,
• said case and base being removably interconnected in such a manner that, when the door is closed, disconnection of the case from the base is prevented by interengagement of the case and the other one of the frame mid or door.
