  • Light attachment for portable electronic device
    Patent number: 7153212
    Abstract: A light attachment for electronic devices may include a base, a deployable arm, a light source and deployment mechanism. The base can be removably attached to an electronic device. The light attachment has a retracted, closed position, and a deployed, open position. While in either postilion, the light attachment is compact and can reside on the electronic device permanently or semi-permanently without interfering with the screen or other functions of the electronic device to which it is attached. The deployment mechanism is a retractable mechanism that has engaged and disengaged states. When the deployment mechanism is actuated while the collapsible light attachment is in its retracted position, the deployable arm is caused to be deployed and the light source is caused to be turned on. Once deployed, the movable arm is situated in a predetermined position optimal for illuminating a LCD screen or other features of the electronic device.
