Abstract
An illuminated attachment is provided for enhancing safety by increasing visibility of a screen or window to prevent accidental contact with the screen or window. The attachment includes a housing, a power source positioned in the housing, a frame coupled to the housing, and a plurality of lights coupled to the frame. The plurality of lights is operationally coupled to the power source. A switch assembly is operationally coupled between the power source and the plurality of lights for selectively illuminating the plurality of lights. An attachment member such as a first magnet is coupled to the housing. Thus, the housing is designed for coupling to a planar material such as screen or window.
Claims20
An illuminated attachment for a planar member comprising:
- a housing, said housing having an interior and an opening;
- a power source positioned in said housing;
- a frame coupled to said housing;
- a plurality of lights coupled to said frame, said plurality of lights being operationally coupled to said power source;
- a switch assembly operationally coupled between said power source and said plurality of lights for selectively illuminating said plurality of lights;
- and
- an attachment member coupled to said housing whereby said housing is adapted for coupling to the planar member;
- a cap member selectively couplable to said housing to cover said opening;
- a first contact member being positioned in said interior of said housing;
- and
- a second contact member being positioned in said interior of said housing adjacent to said opening such that said cap member urges said second contact member into contact with said power source when said cap member is coupled to said housing.
An illuminated attachment for a planar member comprising:
- a housing;
- a power source positioned in said housing;
- a frame coupled to said housing;
- a plurality of lights coupled to said frame, said plurality of lights being operationally coupled to said power source;
- a switch assembly operationally coupled between said power source and said plurality of lights for selectively illuminating said plurality of lights;
- an attachment member coupled to said housing whereby said housing is adapted for coupling to the planar member;
- said attachment member being a first magnet;
- and
- a second magnet, said second magnet being complimentary to said first magnet whereby said housing is adapted for being coupled to the planar member by positioning the planar member between said first magnet and said second magnet.
An illuminated attachment for a planar member comprising:
- a housing;
- a power source positioned in said housing;
- a frame coupled to said housing;
- a plurality of lights coupled to said frame, said plurality of lights being operationally coupled to said power source;
- a switch assembly operationally coupled between said power source and said plurality of lights for selectively illuminating said plurality of lights;
- a first magnet coupled to said housing whereby said housing is adapted for coupling to the planar member;
- a second magnet, said second magnet being complimentary to said first magnet whereby said housing is adapted for being coupled to the planar member by positioning the planar member between said first magnet and said second magnet;
- said housing having an interior and an opening;
- a cap member selectively couplable to said housing to cover said opening;
- a first contact member being positioned in said interior of said housing;
- a second contact member being positioned in said interior of said housing adjacent to said opening such that said cap member urges said second contact member into contact with said power source when said cap member is coupled to said housing;
- a protrusion extending from said cap member for facilitating contact between said cap member and said second contact member;
- said housing having housing threading;
- said cap member having cap threading complimentary to said housing threading such that said cap member is threadably couplable to said housing;
- wherein said frame is reflective for enhancing visibility of said frame;
- wherein said frame forms a decorative design;
- and
- material coupled to said frame, said plurality of lights being coupled to said material.
