Abstract

The present invention provides a visual experience in the bathtub setting. A bathtub overflow cover, which may be removably affixed to an inner wall of a bathtub, with a dedicated portion of a housing to secure a lighting device below a bathtub waterline, is described herein. The lighting device illuminates bathtub water and produces a bathtub glow. Embodiments described for the present invention comprise a bathtub overflow valve cover, a power source, a housing, which attaches to an inner wall of a bathtub, where the housing provides a watertight seal around a bathtub overflow valve preventing water from escaping a bathtub overflow port, and one or more LED lights. The embodiment may further comprise one or more RGB LED lights with color changing capability. Embodiments may further comprise one or more pushbuttons to adjust one or more integrated features.

Claims (50)

1. A bathtub overflow valve cover device comprising: a power source; a housing adapted to fit predominantly on a conventional bathtub overflow valve to removably affix to an inner wall of a bathtub; the housing creates a water-tight seal around the conventional bathtub overflow valve preventing water from escaping a bathtub overflow port; one or more LED lights; the one or more LED lights configured to illuminate water in the bathtub and produce a bathtub glow; and a housing overflow prevention hole on top of the housing configured to allow for the conventional bathtub overflow valve to continue to function while the one or more LED lights are submerged below a waterline and produce the bathtub glow; wherein an extension of a lower portion of the housing accommodates the power source and a lighting housing for the one or more LED lights within the housing.

2. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising:

the one or more LED lights are RGB LED lights; and

the one or more LED lights configured to have color changing capability.

3. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising:

one or more pushbuttons;

the one or more pushbuttons configured to turn the device on or off;

the one or more pushbuttons configured to adjust integrated features of the device;

the integrated features configured to include, but are not limited by the following: clock, music, thermometer, motion detect, or other; and

the one or more pushbuttons configured to change the color or intensity of the one or more LED lights.

4. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a remote control;

the remote control configured to turn the device on or off;

the remote control configured to change integrated features of the device;

the integrated features configured to include, but are not limited by the following: clock, music, thermometer, motion detect, or other; and

the remote control configured to change the color or intensity of the one or more LED lights.

5. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising: housing suction cups, and the housing configured to attach to the inner wall of the bathtub.

6. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising:

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled wirelessly through a wireless controlled application on a phone or mobile device; and

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled as a part of a lighting scene with other lighting products on the wireless controlled application.

7. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising:

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled to adjust the intensity of the one or more LED lights.

8. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising:

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled to produce different lighting colors and/or intensities based on a response to music or sound.

9. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising:

one or more of the following integrated features: clock, music, thermometer, motion detect, or other.

10. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 1 , further comprising: the extension of the lower portion of the housing accommodates the one or more LED lights below a waterline of the bathtub; and the one or more LED lights produce the bathtub glow.

11. A bathtub overflow valve cover device comprising: a power source; a housing adapted to fit predominantly on a conventional bathtub overflow valve to removably affix to an inner wall of a bathtub; the housing creates a watertight seal around a the conventional bathtub overflow valve preventing water from escaping a bathtub overflow port; one or more LED lights; the one or more LED lights configured to illuminate water in the bathtub and produce a bathtub glow; an extension of a lower portion of the housing of the bathtub overflow valve cover; the extension of a lower portion of the housing of the bathtub overflow valve cover accommodates the one or more LED lights within the housing; the extension of a lower portion of the housing of the bathtub overflow valve cover configured to accommodate the power source and a lighting housing; and a housing overflow prevention hole on top of the housing configured to allow for the conventional bathtub overflow valve to continue to function while the one or more LED lights are submerged below a waterline of the bathtub and are producing the bathtub glow.

12. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 11 , further comprising:

the housing is predominantly cylindrical;

a housing sealing edge; and

the housing is clear or translucent.

13. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 11 , further comprising:

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled wirelessly through a wireless controlled application on a phone or mobile device; and

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled as a part of a lighting scene with other lighting products on the wireless controlled application.

14. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 11 , further comprising:

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled to adjust the intensity of the one or more LED lights.

15. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 11 , further comprising:

the bathtub overflow valve cover device configured to be controlled to produce different lighting colors and/or intensities based on a response to music or sound.

16. The bathtub overflow valve cover device of claim 11 , further comprising:
