new invention

As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Automatic Phone Light we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The Automatic Phone Light turns on in the darkness for a preset length of time when the telephone rings so that a user can see the phone to pick it up. If there is already ample light in the room when the telephone rings, the Automatic Phone Light does not turn on. It has a built in lamp, and connects to a regular household telephone.

The Automatic Phone Light is comprised of a housing containing a light, a first telephone line connector, a second telephone line connector, a power connection, a photocell, a converter module, and a timer. An alternative free-standing version is also available, which can connect to any ordinary bedroom lamp and telephone.

The following pictures are meant to display possible physical characteristics of the present invention and are not to be taken in a limiting sense. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
