Electro-luminescent (EL) illuminated wall plate device with push-tighten frame means
Abstract
A wall plate has switch or receptacles or other electric device underneath which are illuminated by electro-luminescent element(s) (hereafter as EL) arranged within panels with a build-in push-tighten frame means to allow people to replace the non-illuminated wall plate to illuminated wall plate by simple installation with safety features to make big improvement. The said wall plate may be selected from group combination from the switch, receptacles, phone jacket, socket, antenna, dimmer switch, ring bell, internet socket, automatically electric appliance switch, or conventional market place available type which may use for home, house, hospital, commercial building, restaurant, restroom, office, hotel, Church with the desire EL elements with indicia, logo, drawing, printing, stencil on top to show some meaning for commercial, religion, enterprise identification, evacuation sign and help people with extra function more than an illuminated wall plate.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An illuminated wall plate for covering the inner device(s) to prevent from people touch the inner device to cause electric shock or device damage which consist of:
A geometric shape of Electro-luminescent (EL) element has electrodes to connect with the electric signal by conductive means to make an illumination to be seen by people. At least two of the panel means located proximate the said EL elements and the EL elements within the said panels. At least one of the push-tighten frame means which have a proper base to install on one of the said panel means to offer a desire height and precisely position against the said inner device's terminals, and the said base has a fix means to fix two plastic elongate means with proper angle to allow the attached-on metal contact members to connect with the said inner device's terminals to get the electricity delivery. A said attached-on metal contact member connect with the said conductive means by conventional technical to allow the device's power source to supply the electricity to make the said EL elements for illumination. Further More; The push-tighten frame means with a proper push-force which created by the spring device or plastic material's properties or mechanical construction to push the said metal contact members on the said two elongate means to tighten contact with the inner device's terminal while assembly the said wall plate on the wall under certain procedures.
2 . An illuminated wall plate as claim 1 , the said wall plate with desired functions may be selected from group combination from the switch, receptacles, phone jacket socket set, antenna set, dimmer switch, ring bell, automatically electric appliance switch, or conventional market place available type which may use for home, house, hospital, commercial building, restaurant, restroom, office, hotel, Church with the desire EL elements with indicia, logo, drawing, printing, stencil on top to show some meaning for commercial, religion, enterprise identification, evacuation sign and help people with extra function more than an illuminated wall plate.
3 . An illuminated wall plate as claim 1 , the said attached-on contact members which may in the form of metal clipper, metal rivet, metal plate, metal piece, electric wires which allow the electric signal be delivered.
4 . An illuminated wall plate as claim 1 , the said conductive means may in a form of conductive wires, metal piece, metal rivet, metal panel or equivalent material to allow the electric signal be delivered.
5 . An illuminated wall plate consist of:
At least one of existing wall plate which meet standard has extra front panel which in a form of sheet, film, cover to allow the EL elements within the said wall plate and the said front panel. A proper conductive means to connect with EL element's electrode on one end and the other end connect with the contact member's end to get electric signals to make the EL element turn on and emit the light to be seen. At least one of the push-tighten frame means which have a proper base to install on one of the said existing wall panel means by screw, rivet, glue, solvent, sonic sealing, hot sealing or the conventional available install means to install solid. The said push-tighten means to offer a desire height and precisely position against the said inner device's terminals, and the said base has a fix means to fix two plastic elongate means with proper angle to allow the attached-on metal contact members to connect with the said inner device's terminals to get the electricity delivery. A said attached-on metal contact member connect with the said conductive means by conventional technical to allow the device's power source to supply the electricity to make the said EL elements for illumination. Further More; The push-tighten frame means with a proper push-force which created by the spring device or plastic material's properties or mechanical construction to push the said metal contact members on the said two elongate means to tighten contact with the inner device's terminal while assembly the said wall plate on the wall under certain procedures.
6 . An illuminated wall plate as consist of:
At least two of the panels which have the substantially profile to each other. One of the panels is translucent in front of EL elements. A proper conductive means to connect with EL element's electrode on one end and the other end connect with the contact member's end to get electric signals to make the EL element turn on and emit the light to be seen. At least one of the push-tighten frame means which have a proper base to install on one of the said panel means to offer a desire height and precisely position against the said inner device's terminals, and the said base has a fix means to fix two plastic elongate means with proper angle to allow the attached-on metal contact members to connect with the said inner device's terminals to get the electricity delivery. A said attached-on metal contact member connect with the said conductive means by conventional technical to allow the device's power source to supply the electricity to make the said EL elements for illumination. Further More; The push-tighten frame means with a proper push-force which created by the spring arrangement or plastic material's properties or mechanical construction to push the said metal contact members on the said two elongate means to tighten contact with the inner device's terminal while assembly the said wall plate on the wall under certain procedures.
7 . An illuminated wall plate as consist of:
At least one of existing wall plate which meet all the standard of wall plate has extra panel area which has opening, window, cut out configuration where allow a EL elements located proximate to fit the said configuration. The said EL elements are covered by a front panel which in a form of sheet, film, or cover to protection. The said EL elements may in geographic shape with indicia, stencil, printing on the elements to supply a meaning to public to see not only the illuminated but also have other meaning to public. The said EL elements having designed electrodes to allow connect with the conductive means and contact member for illumination. A proper conductive means to connect with EL element's electrode on one end and other end connected with the contact member's end to get electric signals to make the EL element turn on and emit the light to be seen. At least one of the push-tighten frame means which have a proper base to install on one of the said panel means to offer a desire height and precisely position against the said inner device's terminals, and the said base has a fix means to fix two plastic elongate means with proper angle to allow the attached-on metal contact members to connect with the said inner device's terminals to get the electricity delivery. A said attached-on metal contact member connect with the said conductive means by conventional technical to allow the device's power source to supply the electricity to make the said EL elements for illumination. Further More; The push-tighten frame means with a proper push-force which created by the spring arrangement or plastic material's properties or mechanical construction to push the said metal contact members on the said two elongate means to tighten contact with the inner device's terminal while assembly the said wall plate on the wall under certain procedures.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
