Description

Title of the invention: Wall-mounted night light

[0001] The present invention relates to a wall night light.

[0002] In many homes, nightlights are used to provide soft light at night, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms and hallways.

[0003] Currently, wall-mounted nightlights are known to be equipped with fixed, non-folding plugs. When not in use, these nightlights take up space. Especially for families with young children, when traveling and wishing to transport a nightlight, a nightlight with a non-folding power cord will take up a lot of space in the suitcase, limiting its ease of use.

[0004] This wall-mounted night light with a foldable power plug solves this problem, and when not in use, the plug can be folded and retracted into the groove on the back. This not only saves space but also improves portability without affecting the night light's functionality.

[0005] The specific embodiment of this invention will be explained below in conjunction with the schematic diagram. The content of the schematic diagram is as follows:

[0006] [Fig-1] Front view of the night light;

[0007] [Fig.2] Rear view of the night light with the plug folded down;

[0008] [Fig.3] View from below of the nightlight when the plug is folded, as shown on the [Fig.2];

[0009] [Fig.4] Right view of the night light when the plug is unfolded;

[0010] [Fig. 5] Rear view of the night light with the power plug in the unfolded position, as shown in [Fig.4].

[0011] The invention shown in the figure consists of the following elements: a. The front panel 1 of the case is made of a light-transmitting material to ensure good light distribution. b. When not in use, the power socket 2 can be folded into a compact position, i.e. retracted into a groove at the rear. c. Inside the housing, a light sensor 4, a switch 5, a light source and an electronic circuit for lighting control are included. d. The printed circuit board is connected to a light source and a light sensor so that the night light can turn on automatically when it gets dark.

[0012] Figure 2 shows the rear of the nightlight when the grip 2 is folded. The operating space 3 between the grip and the frame allows the fingers to fold or remove The plug is easy to grip. The foldable design of the plug saves space and improves the portability of the night light.
