Nightlight, LED power supply circuit, and combination thereof

The present invention pertains to a night light assembly which plugs directly into a wall receptacle to provide a beam of light that can be directed along different paths. The assembly comprises a base member having a plug with projecting blades for insertion into a wall receptacle, a light sensor for automatically controlling activation and de-activation of the lamp of the nightlight and cover member rotatably supported by the base member. The cover member includes a lens, a low wattage lamp located within a lamp support member. The low wattage lamp is coupled via sliding contacts to the PCB board-blade contacts assembly in the base member. This arrangement allows the cover member and lamp to rotated as a unit relative to the base member without limitation. The lamp support member is non-rotatably coupled to the cover member and is rotatably coupled to the base member. The longitudinal axis of the low wattage lamp located in the lamp support member is aligned along the rotational axis of the lens of the cover to maximize the amount of direct and reflected light that is passed through the lens in the cover without obstruction of light by the lamp base. The disclosed assemblage is a new improved night light of simple design which, in addition to providing increased light, can be manufactured and sold at relatively low cost.

Night light assembly

A child resistant switch lock having a body and a slide which can be installed over an existing mounted toggle-type or rocker-type switch. The slide is arranged to operate the toggle handle or rocker between an on and off positions. Stopping tabs on the body prevent movement of the slide from the off to the on positions unless the stopping tabs are first depressed. The required two handed operation, one to depress the stopping tabs and one to advance the slide, make operation by a child very difficult. The slide can operate the toggle handle of a toggle-type switch directly or the rocker of the rocker-type switch through intermediate cams contained in the body.
