Abstract
A compact disc (CD) jewel box is described in which a multifunction light is positioned within the cavity space defined by the CD storage compartment and the CD support tray. The CD jewel box is illuminated with light from one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) powered by small power supplies or battery cells, using one or more switches that are optionally sensitive to pressure, motion, ambient sound, or light levels. The multifunction light dynamically illuminates the prescribed spaces within the jewel box. A light conducting optical lens is provided to enhance the visual effects by transporting the light as desired. The support tray is constructed from a transparent material, preferably a transparent plastic.
Claims11
An illuminated CD jewel box comprising:
- a storage compartment having a rectangular base and a plurality of contiguous vertical sidewalls, including a rear wall, extending therefrom;
- a support tray having a similar rectangular base and a rear wall extending therefrom, this rear wall terminating in a horizontal wall parallel to the base of the support tray and extending away from the support tray rear wall, so that when the support tray is received within the storage compartment, the rear wall of the support tray is separated from the rear wall of the storage compartment and the horizontal wall terminates at the rear wall of the storage compartment, thereby defining a cavity enclosed by the storage compartment's base, rear wall, and portions of the sidewalls contiguous with the rear wall and the support tray's rear and horizontal walls;
- at least one each of light bulb, power supply, and switch that are electrically connected, and at least one lens, all of which are located in the cavity;
- a lid hinged at said portions of the contiguous sidewalls of the storage compartment along and in between the rear walls of the storage compartment and the support tray.
