ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to method improvements for transporting and using a battery-operated portable video game in which, the improvements, more particularly, facilitate the transport of the video game, namely by minimizing possible loss or damage and also facilitate the use of the game, namely by contributing to properly positioning of the video game in relation to the user.
EXAMPLE OF THE PRIOR ART
Already known light displays of content capable of being of interest to a viewer are exemplified by the “Self-Illumination Patch Assembly” of U.S. Pat. No. 4,667,274 issued to Daniel on May 19, 1987. This patent is singled out because the light display has a display position on a beaked cap, namely on the cap front area just above the beak. The '274 cap has novelty value limited to the attention it attracts from passersby.
Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cap light display overcoming the foregoing and other shortcomings of the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object to improve a cap light display, such as the '274 cap, by the selection of a light display which uses to advantage (1) the use of the cap as a carrier and also (2) the way a cap is used to enhance the interest value of the light display, all as will be better understood as the description proceeds.
Underlying the present invention is the recognition that a light display-bearing cap, and also of course one without such an adornment, has cap-on and cap-off wearing positions, the former the better for presenting a display to passersby and also obviating loss and damage to the display if, for example, it was instead not attached to the cap, and the latter the better for observing and the enjoying of the display by the user, by holding the cap conveniently by its beak and positioning the display thereon in facing relation to the user.
