Abstract: A television remote control adaptor includes a protective housing for receiving the remote control unit and oversized pushbuttons for manipulating the remote control unit from outside of the adaptor. The television remote control is held in precise orientation of the adaptor by a spring retainer clip. An aperture at one end of the housing permits the infrared transmitters of the remote control unit to activate a television set. An open mesh is attached across the closed face of the housing adjacent to the remote control pushbuttons. Four or five adaptor buttons are attached to the outside of the mesh and held in place by a pair of leg protrusions that engage the mesh. A longer, thinner protrusion, also attached to the adaptor button, passes through the mesh and contacts the underlying remote control pushbuttons when the adaptor button is depressed by the user.
