Abstract

A purse illumination assembly including a power source, a light emitting portion, a voice-sensitive switch, and a circuit assembly connecting the light emitting portion to the power source through the voice-sensitive switch. The light emitting portion may be a light emitting fabric or may include EL wire alone or in combination with LED lights to provide both lighting and a decorative effect. A driver circuit may be included for driving both the EL wire and the LED lights.

Claims (41)

1. A purse illumination assembly for illuminating a purse, comprising:

a power source;

a light emitting portion;

a switching means;

a circuit assembly connecting the light emitting portion to the power source through the switching means,

wherein the light emitting portion includes an EL wire and a LED light both being driven by a driver circuit of the circuit assembly,

wherein a casing of the LED light has interchangeable decorative caps.

2. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the EL wire is shaped as a wand portion and the casing of the LED light has a flower-shaped cap.

3. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wand portion has crystals around the wand portion that diffuse light.

4. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the circuit assembly includes a transformer.

5. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the power source is rechargeable.

6. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting portion further includes a light emitting fabric.

7. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the switching means is a voice activated switching means.

8. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the switching means is a touch sensitive switching means.

9. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the switching means is located on a casing of the LED light.

10. The purse illumination assembly of claim 1 , wherein the voice activated switching means comprising a control unit and an auditory input means.

11. The purse illumination assembly of claim 10 , wherein the auditory input means in located on an end portion of the EL wire.

12. A purse illumination assembly for illuminating a purse, comprising: a power source;

a light emitting portion;

a switching means;

a circuit assembly connecting the light emitting portion to the power source through the switching means,

wherein the light emitting portion includes an EL wire, and a LED light both being driven by a driver circuit of the circuit assembly,

a casing for the LED light, wherein the casing of the LED light has interchangeable decorative caps;

wherein the EL wire is shaped as a wand portion.

13. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein one of the interchangeable decorative caps is a flower-shaped cap.

14. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein the wand portion has crystals around the wand portion that diffuse light.

15. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein the circuit assembly includes a transformer.

16. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein the power source is rechargeable.

17. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein the light emitting portion further includes a light emitting fabric.

18. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein the switching means is a touch sensitive switching means.

19. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein the switching means is located on a casing of the LED light.

20. The purse illumination assembly of claim 12 , wherein the switching means is a voice activated switching means.

21. The purse illumination assembly of claim 20 , wherein the voice activated switching means comprising a control unit and an auditory input means.

22. The purse illumination assembly of claim 21 , wherein the auditory input means in located on an end portion of the EL wire.

23. A purse illumination assembly for illuminating a purse, comprising:

a power source;

a light emitting portion;

a switching means;

a circuit assembly connecting the light emitting portion to the power source through the switching means,

wherein the light emitting portion includes an EL wire, and a LED light both being driven by a driver circuit of the circuit assembly,

wherein the EL wire is shaped as a wand portion and has crystals around the wand portion that diffuse light.
