BACKGROUND

The co-inventor's prior arts U.S. Pat. No. 5,926,440, U.S. Pat. No. 6,158,868, U.S. Pat. No. 6,170,958, U.S. Pat. No. 6,171,117, U.S. Pat. No. 6,280,053 disclosure arrangement for the conductive means for night light and multiple functions night light incorporated with time piece. The other prior arts U.S. Pat. No. 7,054,233 disclosure the Light Emit Diode (hereafter as LED) module to offer the light effect for wall clock which is different with existing application for night light with Analog time piece and LED light means. U.S. Pat. No. 6,987,710 same inventor as U.S. Pat. No. 7,054,233 both prior art teach the illumination module back surface has the reflective properties to allow the light beam reflect in the interior of the module and out from the front surface (Abstract line 7 to line 9, and the details description stating The back side of reflectors 38, 48 or 78 could alternatively be engraved to provide multiple raised surfaces, such as points, bumps, protuberances, or the like. FIGS. 14 and 15 illustrate surfaces 86 and 87, respectively, created by dot engraving techniques). The said illumination module is very expensive to make this compare with current invention. The current invention light medium which just have the very rough surface surround the medium and make all the light beams travel within the said light medium. This rough-surface treatment has more diffusion effects than the said prior arts reflective optics property. Further more, the prior art want to control the light beams only “out of the front surface” this is mission impossible and can not control at all. The current invention do allow the light emit out to all directions though the rough-surface of the light medium to viewer. Some directions light beams will be block out by the housing so can get desired light effect as wish. The both Kibiloski prior art did not teach a milky/frosted front sheet to make the illumination module to get the best photometric on surface so it is impossible to make a commercial items without this milky/frosted front sheet on top of the illumination module.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION

From the FIG. 1, The time piece (19) with LED light means have the movement (28) and sealed-unit (18) inside housing (2). The sealed unit which have may have any combination selected from LED(s), LED circuit, control means, sensor means, switch means, prong means, this is good for the safety reason because prong means (9) and the LED circuit (not shown) and LED(s) has electric contact with live wires (high voltage) so it need to be meet the safety standard which have very strict material requirement from UL. It is very safety to put all these parts into the sealed unit and to meet the safety standard of the flammable requirement. All rest parts such as movement, light-medium, front sheet (milky or frosted treated sheet) or other housing will not required meet the other safety standard if all parts are sealed by required material. This is one of the features of current invention. It will help on the product design and cost saving issue.

From FIG. 1, The arms (5) (6) (7) are well install on the movement (28) axis to make the accurate time display to viewer. The prong means on the back of the housing (2) which may use fix angle or swivel angle construction from conventional available skills. The housing (2) has the sensor means (1) and extra light means (8) on desired location of the said housing (2) so it will offer function to activate the said LED(s) and extra illumination to the floor with stronger light beams.

From FIG. 2 disclosure the 2^nd embodiment have the Dial face (35) with color changing effects. The time piece (30) has a 2^nd light means on lower portion to offer the 2^nd lit-area of the time piece (30). This is same as co-pending filing Ser. No. 11/255,981 same scope and we will not discuss further more.

From FIG. 3 disclosure the 3^rd embodiment has the Dial face (32) and the housing (33) multiple areas with the light effects including the dail face (32) with surface illumination and the housing (33) with a lot of Fiber Optics illumination in dots, logo, name, shape, configuration illumination which may incorporating the Fiber Optics skill, light-medium skill to get these effects. The Time piece may be a wall clock, alarm, night light with analog movement or the others as conventional market available models and options.

From FIG. 4 disclosure the details construction of preferable Time piece with LED light means. The movement (80) has its installation points (8A) (8B) (8C) (8D) to allow the movement (80) can tight assembly with the lower housing (81). The prong means (8X) (8Z) are insert into the housing slots (8Y) (8Z′) to allow night light to get the electric power from the power source (here prefer 110Volt AC, 60 hz from home wall outlet in north American area). The lower housing (81) have the movement compartment (8G) to allow movement (80) can fit in tight. The lower housing (81) also have the walls arrangement to make the inner space can install movement (80), light-medium (8K), LED sealed unit (82), prong means (8X) (8Z) on idea locations. The light-medium (8K) have holes (8I) (8L) (8U) has its related screw (8J) (8M) (8T) to allow the light-medium to fasten on the lower housing holes (8E) (8H) (8X′). The light-medium (8K) have the plurality of the input-end such as the right one (8V) which can allow the respectively (8V′) install within the input-end (8V) to allow majority of the LED (8V′) light beams get into the light-medium (8K) and travel within the light-medium (8K) and allow view to see the brightness of whole surface of the light-medium unit. The light-medium (8K) made by plastic material with roughly treatment on its surface by sand-blaster or tooling-texture process (or equivalent skill from conventional market available skills). The rough surface will block out the majority light beams to pass though the edge and make a diffusion to make the light beams traveling within the light-medium because the light-medium is much clear and can let light beam traveling but it will be block out by its rough surface so all light beams will traveling within the medium without big loose to outside. Because the majority of light beams travel within the medium in quantity are much more than the leakage to the outside though the rough surface, so the inner light beams back and forth very fast to make the whole light-medium have almost same photometric scale for the brightness. This is the 1^st treatment to make the LED point brightness to the area brightness. The current invention adapted the milky or frosted front sheet to overlay on top of the light-medium is the 2^nd treatment to make the light brightness to very even on front of the light-medium. This is totally different with all prior arts such as Kibiloski U.S. Pat. No. 6,987,710 and U.S. Pat. No. 7,054,233 for Wall clock and Alarm clock applications. The Kibiloski treatment which apply the illumination module back side with reflect properties to make all the LED light beams travel within and out from the front surface is not workable at all. The Kibiloski theory is not real and not practically at all. It have to be have all 5 side of the said illumination module been sealed by mirror like reflectors material without any light beams been leakage from these 5 sides, then, it maybe can get the result. However, it will be a lot of labor with so details work which is not practical for mass production for standard quality requirement. The current invention has features for simple, uniform, easily operation and low cost, less labor involved features.

The arms (8S) (8R) (8Q) are install on the movement (80) axis (8C) as normal installation to show the time message to viewer.

The arms protective cover (84) preferable is clear to allow viewers to see the arms location to know time message. An upper housing (85) are cover to the lower housing (81) with tightness to prevent from other parts within been loosen or fall apart while apply the drop testament on the said time piece.

From FIG. 5 disclosure the side view of the preferable embodiment, The time piece has movement (40) dispose within the back housing (46′) with axis (45) to install the arms (not shown). The movement (40) has one thick light-medium (44) which can allow LED(s) (49) whole body within the light-medium so all light beams will get into the light-medium (44) without leakage to outside. The light-medium (44) have very rough surface by sand-blaster or tooling-texture or adding milky compound or other conventional market available skills to make it very rough on its entire surface as earlier discussion. The light beams travel within the light-medium and quickly back and forth to make the bright spot LED change from point light to surface light is the current invention features. None of people apply this before the current invention. In front of the light-medium has a milky or frosted front sheet (not shown) which can make-up for any bright and dark areas into perfectly photometric illumination. By these two treatments, the dial face will have perfectly brightness on every points of the entire dial face surface. A clear arms protective cover (43) are tightly fit and assembly within the front housing (42) (46) to the back housing (46′) and fasten by tighten means may selected from screws, solvent, sonic sealing, glue, rivet, or other equivalent skills from the art. The prong means (48) and LED (49) are designed into the earlier said sealed unit so this will be very safety than any other models which all electric components are exposure to the air which is costly because all material have to use V-0 Flammable grade to pass UL standard with very thick wall thickness and have to buy from certain UL listed supplier. The axis (45) to install the second, minutes, hour, or time setting need to be longer enough to allow the added light-medium thickness can properly fit top of the movement cover and under the arms. There may have the decorative dial face, stencil, milky/frosted front sheet with printing, logo, marking, 12 designs on the position on top of the light-medium unit. The movement have to be special made to have longer axis than any other conventional time piece movement.

From FIG. 6 disclosure the alternative embodiment which not only the dial face (67) has illumination but also for the exterior housing areas (62′) (62) has illumination too. The rest of the parts arrangement is similar with the FIG. 5. From the FIG. 6, the extra LED(s) are extended from the sealed unit housing by conductive wires to space (62′) and (62). These two space filled with certain material such as Opaque Poly material so can allow the light passing though and also have certain percentage light beams will be travel within the material so can make a very good light effects. This embodiment teach a plurality areas of time piece has the illumination arrangement not only at the dial face, housing, but also the other areas which for decoration or value-appearance purpose required such areas. The axis (68) to install the second, minutes, hour, or time setting need to be longer enough to allow the added light-medium thickness can properly fit top of the movement cover and under the arms. There may have the decorative dial face, stencil, milky/frosted front sheet with printing, logo, marking, 12 designs on the position on top of the light-medium unit. The movement has to be special made to have longer axis than any other conventional time piece movement.

From the FIG. 7 disclosure the round movement (7a) which have its power source may selected from wall outlet power source such as 110-250 Volt AC with certain frequency. Or/ the power can be come from Dry battery or batteries. Or/ the power can get from solar panel and its energy saving device. The movement has at least one adjustable kit to allow people to make time, alarm, time setting, music, noisy, record sound, snoozer, switch, sensor or the other function available from conventional market available functions with its adjustable kit respectively. The movement also has a lot of terminals to allow people to make multiple functions while the proper device connected to the functions terminal ends (7c). From FIG. 7 right hand side view drawing can see the light-medium (6g) is part of the movement. The cover of the movement (6e) has light-medium functions which means can allow the LED(s) to install on the input-end (6f) and make the light travel within the light-medium (6g) and has the very even brightness on its entire surface. This will make the entire time piece with much slim and compact size because save a movement cover thickness than any other invention. This is very important for this thickness reduce to meet market requirement. The axis (6a) passing though the light-medium (6g) center hole to make the arms installation. The build-in sealed unit which have the LED (s), LED circuit or other required electric components, power source to make the LED(s) be turn on under predetermined timing for desired functions and period of time. The LED(s) (6b) (6d) may install on the said sealed unit housing or connect with sealed unit housing by conductive wires and disposed within the light-medium walls.

From FIG. 7-1 Disclosure the round movement has the light-medium as part of the top cover with axis hole. The movement lower housing has diameter “d” and upper light-medium cover has diameter “1×d” with desired LED input-end(s) extended from edge or desired location.

From FIG. 7-2 Disclosure the round movement has the light-medium as part of the top cover with axis hole. The movement lower housing has diameter “d” and upper light-medium cover has diameter “1/N×d” (N can be any number) with desired LED input-end(s) extended from edge or desired location.

From FIG. 7-4 Disclosure the rectangular movement with has the light-medium as part of the top cover with axis hole. The movement lower housing has diameter “S×S′” and upper light-medium cover has diameter “L×L′” with desired LED input-end(s) extended from edge or desired location. The rectangular shape movement may has additional features may selected from group combination from pendulum, alarm, bell, music, recorder, vibration, flash light or other features available from market place.

From FIG. 8 disclosure the preferable movement (50) which is the most low cost unit from conventional market available item. The lower housing (50′) has movement components including electric-coil (5a), output terminals (5b), axis (5c), gear sets (5d), battery “+” terminal (5e), battery “−” terminal (5f) and other Quartz kit (not shown) to make the movement have good accuracy to allow arms (not shown) to show the time message and functions to consumers. The entire space of the most low cost unit has plenty of the empty space as drawing shown. The current invention to apply such empty space to install the LED(s), LED circuit, and some necessary control means and parts (may including prong means) within the lower housing (50′) and make the new top cover with axis hole with light-medium properties. This will allow the whole movement with build-in LED light functions.

If the build-in LED light device are powered by movement battery (this case the movement and LED light device are powered by same battery power source), the LED light will be only turn on after sensor device been trigger for short time illumination such as LED are activated by motion sensor to turn on for limited short time period.

If the build-in LED light device are connected with wall outlet power source (for example 110 Volt AC 60 Hz) though the prong means (I.E. the movement is power by the battery and LED device power by the wall outlet power source), then, the LED light device can be have always “On” because the power source is unlimited energy for the said LED device which maybe only 0.3-1 Watt power consumption. Even, some design with very strange power source design such as LED light device and movement both connected with the wall outlet power which will cause the movement stop work while the prong or conductive means are terminate with wall outlet power source. Each time this termination happened, the consumer has to adjustable time again. For example, the clock is install on bathroom, while you want to use hair dryer, then, unplug the clock, then, you have to adjustable time again each time whenever unplug the clock from wall outlet. This is funny and stupid design. Basing on this unplug issue happened, so the current invention also adapted the multiple function time piece which have the receptacle (1) on front of the time piece as FIG. 1. The receptacle preferable with grounded end so can meet all different electric devices such as hair dryer, electric tooth brush, electric tooth water jet . . . which may has grounded prong design.

The other parts such as LED sealed unit (91), prong means (97) maybe fixed type or swivel type as wish, back holder (94), light-medium (if not apply the rough surface on LCD glass, the light-medium can supply back light to said LCD as earlier discussion), LCD weather station message display may has message including but not limited such as Temperature (98′), Time (98″), date (98′″) or any other such as humility (not shown), Calendar (not shown), month (not shown), or other message which available from conventional market. The build-in LCD dot-matrix display has LED light-medium to make it glow. The light-medium can be the LCD glass or separated plastic piece as long as adapted the sand-blaster or conventional skills to make the said LCD glass or separated piece with rough surface to get the light medium properties. The LCD display can be fully transparent or the semi-transparent type which do not affect the LED light-medium too much.

From FIG. 10 disclosure the project time piece (2a) image seen by viewer. The image (2a) is project from the lower dial face (2g) which have movement (not shown) and LED sealed unit (2e) as normal time piece but though a thick liquid optics device (2b) to make the lower dial face's message to transfer to the viewer face (2a) with correct orientation for hour, minute, second arms and marking. The thick liquid optic device (2b) may have a lot of miniatures with special treatment such as the magnetic base to make magnetic reaction with the second arm so the turtle (2c) will stick with the second arm for each second to move. The turtle (2c) have tiny wires to connect with Duck 1 (2c′) and duck 2 (2c″) to increase the very valuable appearance to all viewer especially for kids. The swivel prong means (2d) are good because this time piece can be act as desk top clock or night-light clock for two applications as consumer multiple purpose time piece.

From FIG. 11, The analog time piece (110) has at least 3 arms (11g) (11h) (111) to show the time message of hour, minute, second to viewer though the protective cover (11a).
