Illuminating paddle

Abstract

An illuminating paddle, including a main body to hit a ball, a sensor disposed within at least a portion of the main body to detect an impact against the main body, a plurality of central lights disposed on at least a portion of a center of the main body to illuminate in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body, a plurality of edge lights disposed on at least a portion of the main body to illuminate in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body, and a speaker disposed on and within at least a portion of the main body to emit at least one sound in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body.

1 . An illuminating paddle, comprising:
 a main body to hit a ball;   a sensor disposed within at least a portion of the main body to detect an impact against the main body;   a plurality of central lights disposed on at least a portion of a center of the main body to illuminate in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body;   a plurality of edge lights disposed on at least a portion of the main body to illuminate in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body; and   a speaker disposed on and within at least a portion of the main body to emit at least one sound in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body.   
     
     
         2 . The illuminating paddle of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of central lights, the plurality of edge lights, and the speaker remain off while the sensor detects the impact of the ball outside a boundary of the center of the main body. 
     
     
         3 . The illuminating paddle of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of edge lights are disposed on an entirety of a perimeter of an edge of the main body. 
     
     
         4 . The illuminating paddle of  claim 1 , wherein the speaker emits the at least one sound as at least one of a sound of applause, a sound of audience cheer, and sweet. 
     
     
         5 . The illuminating paddle of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a control unit disposed within at least a portion of the main body to automatically adjust at least one of a brightness level and a volume level based on a force level of the impact of the ball against the main body.
