Solar illuminated fence

Abstract

A fence assembly having a plurality of illuminable fence posts disposed between a plurality of fence sections. One or more connectors may be disposed on the fence post and/or the fence section to attach the components together. The fence post may include a illuminable top removably attached to a upright support member. The illuminable top may comprise a light source and a solar power source electrically connected thereto. The solar power source may be comprised of a battery and a solar cell such that the solar power source stores energy when exposed to light and provides energy to the light source when exposed to darkness in order to illuminate the area surrounding the fence assembly.

1 . A solar illuminated fence assembly, comprising:
 at least one upright support member;   at least one fence section;   at least one connector configured to attach the at least one fence section to the at least one upright support member; and   a illuminable top removably attached to the at least one upright support member, the illuminable top further comprising:
 at least one light source; and 
 at least one solar power source electrically connected to the at least one light source, the at least one solar power source further comprising:
 at least one battery; and 
 at least one solar cell; 
 
   wherein the at least one solar power source stores energy when exposed to light, and provides energy to the at least one light source when exposed to darkness to illuminate the surrounding area.   
   
   
       2 . An illuminable fence post, comprising:
 an upright support member; and   an illuminable top removably attached to the support member, the illuminable top further comprising:
 at least one light source; and 
 at least one solar power source electrically connected to the at least one light source, the at least one solar power source further comprising:
 at least one battery; and 
 at least one solar cell, 
 
   wherein the at least one solar power source stores energy when exposed to light, and provides energy to the at least one light source when exposed to darkness to illuminate an area surrounding the upright support member.   
   
   
       3 . The illuminable fence post of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one light source is an LED. 
   
   
       4 . The illuminable fence post of  claim 2 , wherein the upright support member further comprises at least one protrusion located on the opposite end of the support member from the illuminable top, wherein the at least one protrusion allows the user to secure the support post into the ground. 
   
   
       5 . The illuminable fence post of  claim 2 , wherein the illuminable top further comprises at least one reflecting device, wherein the at least one reflecting device reflects the light provided by the at least one light source. 
   
   
       6 . The illuminable fence post of  claim 2 , wherein the illuminable top further comprises at least one window located on at least one face of the illuminable top, wherein the at least one window at least partially exposes the inside of the illuminable top. 
   
   
       7 . The illuminable fence post of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one window is composed of a translucent or transparent material. 
   
   
       8 . The illuminable fence post of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one window is a break in the material of the illuminable top.
