  • Patent number: 6767107
    Abstract: A combined magnifier/lighting apparatus for hand held video games utilizes a directional light source and an angularly adjustable flat 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 flat 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.

  • Patent number: 6652316
    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.

  • Patent number: 6533431
    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.

  • Patent number: 6517069
    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.

  • Patent number: 6367946
    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.
