Abstract

A radio decoration system for enhancing an ornamental appearance of a radio includes a vehicle and a radio that is coupled to the vehicle. The radio has a plurality of knobs and each of the knobs is selectively manipulated. A plurality of covers is provided and each of the covers is removably coupled to an associated one of the knobs. Each of the covers is structured to have an ornamental appearance of athletic equipment.

Claims (19)

1. A radio decoration system comprising:

a vehicle;

a radio being coupled to said vehicle, said radio having a plurality of knobs wherein each of said knobs is configured to be manipulated; and

a plurality of covers, each of said covers being removably coupled to an associated one of said knobs, each of said covers being structured to have an ornamental appearance of athletic equipment, each of said covers comprising a cup having an outwardly facing surface; and

an ornament being coupled to said outwardly facing surface of said cup wherein said ornament is configured to be manipulated, said ornament having an outward surface, said outward surface being structured to resemble the athletic equipment wherein said ornament is configured to change an appearance of an associated one of said knobs;

a light emitter being coupled to said outward surface of said ornament; and

a button positioned on said outward surface of said ornament, said button being electrically coupled to said light emitter for turning said light emitter on and off.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein:

each of said knobs has a perimeter surface; and

each said cup having a basal wall and a peripheral wall extending away from said basal wall, said peripheral wall being continuous such that said cup has a cylindrical shape, said peripheral wall having a distal edge with respect to said basal wall, said distal edge defining an opening into said cup, said peripheral wall having an inner surface, said basal wall having an outwardly facing surface.

3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein said cup insertably receives an associated one of said knobs such that said inner surface of said cup frictionally engages said perimeter surface of said associated knob such that said cup is removably retained on said associated knob.

4. A radio decoration system comprising:

a vehicle;

a radio being coupled to said vehicle, said radio having a plurality of knobs wherein each of said knobs is configured to be manipulated, each of said knobs controlling operational parameters of said radio, each of said knobs having a perimeter surface; and

a plurality of covers, each of said covers being removably coupled to an associated one of said knobs, each of said covers being structured to have an ornamental appearance of athletic equipment, each of said covers comprising:

a cup having a basal wall and a peripheral wall extending away from said basal wall, said peripheral wall being continuous such that said cup has a cylindrical shape, peripheral wall having a distal edge with respect to said basal wall, said distal edge defining an opening into said cup, said peripheral wall having an inner surface, said basal wall having an outwardly facing surface, said cup insertably receiving an associated one of said knobs such that said inner surface of said cup frictionally engages said perimeter surface of said associated knob such that said cup is removably retained on said associated knob, and

an ornament being coupled to said outwardly facing surface of said cup wherein said ornament is configured to be manipulated, said ornament having an outward surface, said outward surface being structured to resemble the athletic equipment wherein said ornament is configured to change an appearance of said associated knob,

a light emitter being coupled to said outward surface of said ornament, and

a button positioned on said outward surface of said ornament, said button being electrically coupled to said light emitter for turning said light emitter on and off.
