Safety night light

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The following description is that of the preferred embodiments of the subject invention.
These embodiments are set forth to aid in better understanding the subject invention, but are not to be construed as limiting.
With the above in mind, the preferred embodiments will be set forth.
The safety night lights of the subject patent application are for use in connection with a conventional electrical outlet 1.
A conventional electrical outlet typically has two plug sockets 11 which may be in a two-prong configuration or a three-prong grounded configuration.
For the sake of illustration, electrical outlets are shown in the vertical configuration, i.
e.
one plug socket 11 on top of another.
It is to be considered within the scope of the invention to modify the subject night light to be usable when the electrical outlet is in the horizontal configuration, i.
e.
one plug socket 11 along side of the other.
Surrounding plug sockets 11 is an outlet plate 12.
Typically outlet plate 12 is of a standard size.
However, the size may vary and the subject safety night light can be formed accordingly.
Outlet plate 12 generally protrudes above the surrounding wall.
The dimensions of outlet plate 12 are labeled in FIG.
1 as l.
sub.
1, w.
sub.
1 and d.
sub.
1, referring to the length, width and depth, respectively.
The subject safety night light is built around a standard night light assembly 10.
A night light assembly 10 for the purposes of the subject invention must include a pair of prongs 101 which are insertable into plug socket 11.
Typically, prongs 101 are held in alignment by plug 106 which further serves to support socket 102.
Prongs 101 serve the dual purpose of supplying an electric current to night light assembly 10 and holding night light assembly 10 in contact with plug socket 11.
Night light assembly 10 must also have a socket 102 into which a light bulb or other light emitting device 103 may be inserted.
For convenience, light emitting device 103 will be referred to as a light bulb throughout the application
