Abstract

The invention relates to a nightlight toy having a body, an interior power source, an interior light source, a switch for activating the interior light source and a microcontroller for regulating such activation.

1 . A nightlight toy comprising:
 (A) a body, and   (B) an interior component container comprising:
 (i) a switch, 
 (ii) a microcontroller, 
 (iii) a power source, and 
 (iv) a light source. 
   
   
   
       2 . The nightlight toy of  claim 1  wherein said power source is recharged using wireless energy transfer. 
   
   
       3 . The nightlight toy of  claim 2  wherein said body is formed of silicone rubber. 
   
   
       4 . The nightlight toy of  claim 3  wherein said light source is a LED light source. 
   
   
       5 . The nightlight toy of  claim 4  wherein said switch is a pressure sensitive switch, a photo-sensitive switch, a proximity-sensitive switch, or a sound-actuated switch. 
   
   
       6 . The nightlight toy of  claim 5  wherein said microcontroller regulates a slow oscillation activation of the light source. 
   
   
       7 . The nighlight toy of  claim 5  wherein said microcontroller produces a steady illumination, a flashing effect, or a pulsing effect.
