Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to holiday decorations, and more particularly relates to a sleeve with a holiday or special event-related pattern that fits over an exterior light attached to a building.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Exterior light fixtures, such as light 100 shown in FIG. 1, are well known. The light 100 is of the type found on many homes 102 in a typical neighborhood. The light 100 has a light bulb 104 and power is fed to the bulb 104 though a conductor 106 that is connected to a remote power source within the house 102. Although the style of the light 100 varies from home to home, the purpose is consistent—to provide light to the front of the structure 102. In most instances, the light fixture 100 can be seen from the street and has a decorative effect.

Many people enjoy expressing themselves on special occasions, such as the Fourth of July, Halloween, Christmas, birthday parties, baby showers, and many others. This expression is often in the form of, for example, signs, banners, objects in the yard, and internally-lighted ornaments. Internally-lighted ornaments can be, for example, a pumpkin with a light bulb inside, a plastic snowman with a light bulb inside, or other similar devices. However, the light bulbs must receive power from a power source. This requires a user to install the ornament somewhere in the front of their house and to run an electrical conductor to a receptacle that supplies power to the ornament. If the receptacle is not close to the ornament, a long conductor
a shape of the skin.

 a holiday - associate design on an exterior of the peel surrounding the lamp - holding nothingness; 

 an opening having an open position and a closed position, the closed military position being a natural resting shape of the skin, the receptive position being a flexibly - deformed state of the skin from the lifelike resting shape and the first step providing access for the lamp to enter the nothingness when the opening is flexibly deformed to the open position; 

 a closing mechanism operable to plug the first step in the closed position; and 

 a translucence for allowing light to pass from the lamp in the void, through the skin, and away from the hide.

However, the idle bulbs must receive power from a power source. This requires a exploiter to install the ornament somewhere in the front of their house and to run an electric conductor to a receptacle that supplies baron to the ornament. If the receptacle is not close to the decoration, a long conductor

a sjape of the skin.
