Lighting cover for a remote control unit
First Claim
1. A protective cover for a remote control unit, the remote control unit having pressure responsive buttons thereon and a signal generator on one end, comprising:
- (a) A resilient housing comprising;
a housing bottom wall;
two upstanding housing side walls connected to the housing bottom wall;
a housing top wall connected to the housing side walls;
the housing top wall having a first access viewing port therein;
the housing top wall having a switch port therein;
a first closing flap having an integral hinged connection to one end of the housing top wall and selectively forming a first housing end wall;
the first closing flap having a first projection port therein;
the first closing flap releasably attached to the housing bottom wall by a hook and loop fastener;
a second closing flap having an integral hinged connection to another end of the housing top wall and selectively forming a second housing end wall; and
the second closing flap releasably attached to the housing bottom wall by a hook and loop fastener; and
(b) a protective enclosure removably placed within the resilient housing comprising;
an enclosure bottom wall;
two upstanding enclosure side walls connected to the enclosure bottom wall;
an enclosure top wall connected to the enclosure side walls;
the enclosure top wall having a second access viewing port therein;
a first enclosure end wall connected to the enclosure top wall and the enclosure bottom wall;
the first enclosure end wall having a second signal projection port therein;
a second enclosure end wall connected to the enclosure top wall and the enclosure bottom wall;
a light circuit chamber in the second enclosure end wall and extending into one of the enclosure side walls, the light circuit chamber having;
a light circuit disposed within the light circuit chamber, comprising;
a power source in the circuit;
a light in the circuit; and
a switch in the circuit to selectively provide power to the light.the enclosure top wall having a switch port therein providing access to the light circuit chamber and allowing the switch to extend from the light circuit chamber, through the enclosure top wall and through the housing switch port in the housing top wall;
a lens port extending from the light circuit chamber through an enclosure side wall and into a remote control unit chamber; and
the lens port having a light dispersing lens therein.

Abstract
A protective cover for a remote control unit, having pressure responsive buttons thereon and a signal generator on one end, has a resilient housing having a housing bottom wall, two upstanding housing side walls connected to the housing bottom wall and a housing top wall connected to the housing side walls. The housing top wall has a first access viewing port and a switch port therein. There is a first closing flap, having an integral hinged connection to one end of the housing top wall, that selectively forms a first housing end wall having a first signal projection port therein. There is a second closing flap, having an integral hinged connection to another end of the housing top wall, that selectively forms a second housing end wall. A protective enclosure is removably placed within the resilient housing and has an enclosure bottom wall, two upstanding enclosure side walls connected to the enclosure bottom wall and an enclosure top wall connected to the enclosure side walls. The enclosure top wall has a second access viewing port and a switch port therein. There is a first enclosure end wall connected to the enclosure top wall and to the enclosure bottom wall. The first enclosure end wall has a second signal projection port therein. A lens port having a light dispersing lens therein extends from a light circuit chamber through an enclosure side wall and into a remote control unit chamber. There is a light circuit in the light circuit chamber that has a power source, a light or LED and a switch in the circuit.
