  • Patent number: 7934858
    Abstract: A lighting lens can sufficiently suppress unevenness color and improve light use efficiency. This light lens has: first incidence surface 20 that is orthogonal to the optical axis; second incidence surface 21 that expands the radius toward the light emitting element 8 side; total reflection surface 22 that expands the radius toward the emitting side; first emission surface 24 that mainly emits light incident on first incidence surface 21, toward illuminated surface 18; and second emission surface 25 that emits light incident on a second incidence surface, toward illuminated surface 18, and forms second emission surface 25 such that positive power in second emission surface 25 is weaker than positive power of first emission surface 24.

  • Patent number: 7121700
    Abstract: Apparatus for an illuminable member comprising a plurality of bulbs 14 mounted on a circuit board 12 in electrical communication with a power source having electrical leads 24 between the power source and recharging connector. The apparatus 10 can be positioned within a housing 26 having one or more transparencies forming an integral part therewith whereby light would be viewable from the exterior of the housing when the illuminable member 14 is energized. Preferably, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) 14 are mounted to the circuit board 12 in electrical communication with each other and the power source, which in the preferred embodiment is one or more batteries 20 forming an integral part of the illuminable member with corded and ported means provided for recharging the power source.
