Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) flashlight that utilizes reflection techniques to maximize light provided by the one or more LED light sources. A reflection housing is connected to the flashlight housing and includes a light housing that is suspended within the reflection housing and positions the LED light source toward the flashlight handle. Reflective surfaces within the reflection housing receive the light emanating from the LED light source and reflect and re-direct the light out the transparent end opposite the flashlight handle.

Abstract: An accessory connector for a portable video game device includes strategically disposed detents adapted to engage screw holes and indents in the top edge and back side of the game device. A snap over feature in the upper portion allows the connector to snap over the front top edge of the game device and secure the connector to the top edge of the game device. The detents disposed along an intermediary portion of the connector eliminates lateral sliding of the connector when operable disposed on the game device.

Abstract: A combined magnifier/lighting apparatus for hand held video games utilizes a directional light source and an angularly adjustable reflective surface disposed opposite the directional source in a frame spaced from the display screen of the hand held device. The use of a directional light source and the adjustable reflective material provides an increased and more diffused lighting effect while eliminating the otherwise experienced hot spots or dark spots common in prior art light assemblies.

Abstract: A cord-reel assembly having an in-wall assembly connected to a source of electricity and including an electrical power receptacle. A cover plate having a decorative side and an engagement side is provided for connection to the in-wall assembly. The cover plate includes at least one stationary outlet receptacle, an internal cord-reel and at least one outlet receptacle connected to the end of the internal cord-reel and being accessible from said decorative side of said cover plate. A plug on the engagement side of the cover plate is adapted to align with and engage the electrical power receptacle in the in-wall assembly and thereby provide power to the cord-reel and stationary outlet receptacles. Other embodiments include a telephone line connection within the in wall assembly, a telephone line cord reel within the cover plate and a telephone jack connected to the end of the cord reel.

Abstract: A lighting assembly for compact computer devices such as, for example, hand held video games utilizes a light source directed away from the display screen of the compact computer device and a reflective surface selectively positionable over the display screen to intercept and reflect the light emanating from the light source and re-direct it toward the display screen. The directing of the light away from the display screen and subsequent reflecting back toward the display screen results in an evenly diffused light being applied to the display screen, while completely eliminating the otherwise experienced hot spots or dark spots common in prior art light assemblies.

Abstract: An improved lighting apparatus for hand held video games utilizes a directional light source and a curved reflective surface disposed opposite the directional source in a frame positioned proximate to the display screen of the hand held device. The use of a directional light source and the curved reflective material provides an increased and more diffused lighting effect while eliminating the otherwise experienced hot spots or dark spots common in prior art light assemblies.

Abstract: An accessory lighting assembly for selectively illuminating user selected areas such as, for example, compact computer devices, books and other desired areas. The light source is directed away from user selected area for illumination and a reflective surface is selectively positionable to intercept the light emanating from the light source and re-direct it toward the user selected area. The directing of the light away from the user selected area for illumination and subsequent reflecting back toward the user selected area results in an evenly diffused light being applied to the user selected area, while completely eliminating the otherwise experienced hot spots or dark spots common in prior art accessory light assemblies.

Abstract: A lighting assembly for compact computer devices such as, for example, hand held video games utilizes a light source direct away from the display screen of the compact computer device and a reflective surface selectively positionable over the display screen to intercept and reflect the light emanating from the light source and re-direct it toward the display screen. The directing of the light away from the display screen and subsequent reflecting back toward the display screen its in an evenly diffused light being applied to the display screen, while completely eliminating the otherwise experienced hot spots or dark spots common in prior art light assemblies.

Abstract: A game accessory power supply connector for compact computer devices such as, for example, hand held video games, utilizes the link port of the compact computer device to provide power to an accessory item connected thereto. The game accessory power supply connector includes an internally positioned power supply plug adapted to engage the link port of the game device when disposed in its operable position, and an externally positioned fully functional link port for use by the user while the connector utilizes the link port of the game device. By utilizing the link port of the game device, the accessory power supply connector can draw power for the connected accessory item from the power (batteries or AC connection) of the game device, and thereby does not require additional power supply for the accessory item.

Abstract: A lighting assembly for compact computer devices such as, or example, hand held video games utilizes a light source directed away from the display screen of the compact computer device and a reflective surface selectively positionable over the display screen to intercept and reflect the light emanating from the light source and re-direct it toward the display screen. The directing of the light away from the display screen and subsequent reflecting back toward the display screen results in an evenly diffused light being applied to the display screen, while completely eliminating the otherwise experienced hot spots or dark spots common in prior art light assemblies.
