Review of Art known to the Applicant The closest art known to the applicant is a conventional luggage item, which does not incorporate any illumination means.
Such a luggage item is intended to be carried or worn by the luggage item's user.
Therefore, if the user opens the luggage item in poor light conditions, they are at risk of losing the contents of the luggage item and / or damaging the contents of the luggage item. The Luggage item's user may also spend a considerable amount of time searching for items within the luggage item. For example keys to a car or house. The searching time may be substantially reduced if the luggage item's owner was able to see the luggage item's contents clearly.
Summary of the Invention
In a first broad independent aspect, the invention provides a luggage illumination system comprising: a) means for incorporating one or more said luggage illumination system's components within a luggage item; b) means for activating said one or more luggage illumination system's components when said luggage item's is opened; c) means for ilLuminating one or more compartments within said luggage item; is d) means for incorporating one or more power cells for powering said means for illumination within said luggage item; e) means for deactivating said one or more luggage illumination system's components when said luggage item's is closed.
This configuration is particularly advantageous because it senses when the luggage item has been opened and illuminates one or more of the luggage item's inner compartments.
Therefore, the system enables the luggage item to be opened in poor light conditions. This gives the advantage of the luggage user being able to identify, sort and extract contained items within the luggage item without the use of an external light source.
Another advantage of this configuration is that all the required system components are incorporated within the luggage item. The illumination means are powered from a power cell within the luggage item, typically a battery. This enables the luggage item to function remotely without any dependencies upon external power supplies for powering the illumination means.
Another advantage of this configuration is that it prolongs the power ceLls life expectancy, before it requires replacing or recharging. This is achieved by automatically disconnecting the power to the illumination means when the Luggage item is closed.
