发明名称 Illuminating key fob
摘要 An illuminating key fob including a key fob body having a base and a cap secured together. Various compartments, disposed on the base within the internal chamber, store batteries providing a power source to a light emitting diode light source adjacent the key blank disposed within the internal chamber at a front side of the key fob body. The light source is provided to illuminate a key hole opening for insertion of a key produced from a key blank. The batteries are in selective operational communication with the light source to operate the light source upon the alternate activation and deactivation of an on-off button switch on the cap. A loop-receiver opening in the rear side is sized to receive a key ring therethrough. A notch in the cap along the rear side assists in grasping the rear side for insertion of the key ring through the loop-receiver opening.

主权项 1. An illuminating key fob comprising: a key fob body having base and a cap, each of the base and the cap having a front side, a rear side, a top side, a bottom side, an outer perimeter, and an internal chamber continuously disposed between the base and the cap, the outer perimeter of each of the base and the cap being securingly engageable to each other; a hole centrally disposed through each of the base and the cap proximal the front side; a screw engaging the hole, wherein the screw is configured to securingly engage the cap to the base, the hole being sized to receive the screw therethrough; a round switch aperture centrally disposed in the cap proximal the bottom side; a first compartment disposed on the base within the internal chamber proximal the front side, the first compartment having an upper side; a receptacle disposed in the upper side of the first compartment in a position alignable with the hole; a key blank attached to the key fob body, the key blank having a forward portion and a rearward portion, the rearward portion being fixedly disposed within the first compartment, the key blank forward portion extending from the first compartment and away from the front side of the key fob body, wherein the first compartment is configured to receive and retain the key blank thereon; a second compartment disposed on the base within the internal chamber in a position directly adjacent the first compartment; a light emitting diode light source having a rear portion and a lens, wherein the rear portion is disposed within the second compartment directly adjacent the first compartment, wherein the lens extends outwardly from the second compartment away from the front side, wherein the second compartment is configured to retain the light emitting diode light source therein; a hollow substantially annular third compartment disposed on the base within the internal chamber in a position directly adjacent the second compartment in a position between the second compartment and the rear side of the base, the third compartment having a convex front wall directly adjacent the second compartment, a convex rear wall spaced apart from the front wall, and a gap between an internal side of each of the front wall and the rear wall, a portion of the bottom side of the base being a portion of the third compartment; a hollow substantially annular fourth compartment disposed on the base proximal each of the top side and the rear side, the fourth compartment having a continuous opening proximal the top side and an u-shaped indent on an upper edge thereof on a front portion thereof; a hollow substantially annular fifth compartment disposed on the base proximal each of the top side in a position between the front portion of the fourth compartment and the third compartment, the fifth compartment having a convex back partition, a convex front partition separated from the back partition by a slot disposed proximal the third compartment, the first compartment forming a portion of front partition, and a U-shaped cleft disposed in an uppermost side of the fifth compartment proximal the top side; a triangular flat spring vertically disposed from the bottom side across the third compartment, the triangular flat spring extending through the slot of the fifth compartment and terminating at the back partition proximal the slot, the triangular flat spring having an uppermost edge; a connector attached between the uppermost edge of the flat spring and the rear portion of the light emitting diode light source; a first watch button battery disposed within the third compartment, the first watch button battery having a positive pole facing inwardly away from the triangular flat spring; a second flat spring disposed within both the fourth compartment and the fifth compartment, the second flat spring having a back side disposed atop the fourth compartment and a forwardmost side disposed atop the fifth compartment; a rear second watch button battery disposed atop the back side of the second flat spring; a front second watch button battery disposed atop the forwardmost side of the second flat spring; a semi-flexible washer surrounding the front second watch button battery in a position directly adjacent the forwardmost side; a third flat spring having a non-stick washer disposed on a backside portion thereof and a button buffer disposed on a frontside portion thereof; a four-ear spring disposed atop the semi-flexible washer; an on-off button switch disposed atop the four-ear spring, the on-off button switch having an upper button extending through the switch aperture in the cap; a plurality of stabilizing walls disposed throughout the base within the internal chamber, wherein the stabilizing walls are configured to support each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth compartments; a loop-receiver opening disposed in the rear side of each of the base and the cap, the loop-receiving opening being sized to receive a key ring therethrough; wherein each of the first watch button battery and the rear and front second watch button batteries is in selective operational communication with the light emitting diode light source, wherein the selective operational communication of the first watch button battery and the rear and front second watch button batteries is configured to alternately activate and deactivate the light emitting diode light source upon the activation and deactivation, respectively, of the on-off button switch.
