Frame having integrated lighting and power supply

Abstract

Frame having integrated lighting and power supply. The frame has a structure having side, front, and rear surfaces, which enclose an inner chamber. A solar module is situated in the area of at least one of the surfaces. A power accumulator is provided, which is connectable to the solar module, in order to store electrical energy which is provided by the solar module) in the case of incident light. Lighting means are situated inside the frame, which can be supplied with electrical energy by the power accumulator. A transparent plate is provided in the area of the front surface and an object can be presented in the inner chamber. Furthermore, the frame comprises means for opening and closing the frame, in order to be able to introduce the object into the inner chamber so that it can be lighted by the lighting means.
