Abstract

A wall box includes a housing having one or more switches and one or more orifices, a frame attached to the housing and having one or more light devices engaged through the orifices of the housing for generating lights, and a transparent cover plate attached to the housing and having an opening for receiving the switches of the housing and for exposing the switches. The lights generated by the light device may be emitted out through the transparent cover plate, for lighting dark environment. The cover plate includes a number of projections for light refracting purposes. A switch button may be used to actuate the light devices.

Claims

1. A wall box comprising:

a housing including at least one switch provided thereon, and including at least one orifice formed therein,

a frame attached to said housing, and including at least one light device attached thereto and engaged through said at least one orifice of said housing for generating lights, and

a transparent cover plate attached to said housing, and including an opening formed therein for receiving said at least one switch of said housing, and for exposing said at least one switch,

the lights generated by said at least one light device being emittable out through said transparent cover plate, for lighting dark environment.

2. The wall box as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cover plate includes a plurality of projections extended therein for light refracting purposes.

3. The wall box as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing includes at least one lock cavity formed therein, said cover plate includes at least one catch extended therefrom, to engage into said at least one lock cavity of said housing, and to detachably lock said cover plate to said housing.

4. The wall box as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing includes at least one aperture formed therein, said frame includes a switch button attached thereto, and extended out through said at least one aperture of said housing, for being depressed to actuate said at least one light devices.

5. The wall box as claimed in claim 4, wherein said cover plate includes an orifice formed therein for receiving:

said switch button, and for allowing said switch button to be partially extended out of said cover plate.

6. The wall box as claimed in claim 1, wherein said housing includes at -least one aperture formed therein, said frame includes a switch member attached thereto, and aligned with said at least one aperture of said housing, for adjusting a brightness of said at least one light device.

7. The wall box as claimed in claim 6, wherein said cover plate includes an aperture formed therein and aligned with said at least one aperture of said housing, for allowing said switch member to be operated.

8. The wall box as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a photo-conductive resistance for selectively actuating said at least one light device.

9. The wall box as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a variable resistance provided for adjusting a brightness of said at least one light device.
