Claim 7:
8. A mood indicating assembly for facilitating a user to visually communicate their current mood to a colleague, said assembly comprising:
a housing being positionable on a support surface, said housing having a recess being integrated into a top wall of said housing, said recess covering a substantial area of said top wall;
a plurality of light bars, each of said light bars being disposed on said housing wherein each of said plurality of light bars is configured to emit light outwardly from said housing, said plurality of light bars being arranged in a column on said housing, each of said plurality of light bars being independently actuatable, a selected number of said plurality of light bars being actuatable ranging between a minimum number of said plurality light bars and a maximum number of said plurality of light bars wherein said plurality of light bars is configured to facilitate a user to visually communicate an intensity of their mood to a colleague, each of said plurality of light bars emitting light of a unique color with respect to each other wherein said plurality of light bars is configured to facilitate the user to visually communicate their stress level to the colleague thereby facilitating the colleague to choose to avoid disturbing the user, each of said plurality of light bars being positioned in said recess in said top wall of said housing, each of said plurality of light bars being elongated to extend across a substantial width of said recess, said plurality of light bars being evenly spaced apart from each other and being distributed between a top side and a bottom side of a perimeter wall of said housing;
a window being positioned in said recess such that said window covers said plurality of light bars, said window having an outer edge being bonded to a bounding edge of said recess, said window being comprised of a translucent material wherein said window is configured to pass light through said window;
a control circuit being integrated into said housing, said control circuit receiving an on input, an off input, a flash input, a color input, and a distress input, each of said plurality of light bars being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said plurality of light bars being actuated into a standby condition when said control circuit receives said on input, said plurality of light bars being de-actuated when said control circuit receives said off input, said plurality of light bars being actuated to repeatedly flash on and off when said control circuit receives said flash input, said plurality of light bars being actuated to emit a selected color of light when said control circuit receives said color input, all of said plurality of light bars being actuated when said control circuit receives said distress input wherein said plurality of light bars is configured to visually communicate that the user is under distress;
a color button being movably integrated into said perimeter wall of said housing, said color button being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said control circuit receiving said color input each time said color button is depressed wherein said color button is configured to facilitate the user to chose the color of light emitted by said plurality of light bars;
a flash button being movably integrated into said perimeter wall of said housing, said flash button being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said control circuit receiving said flash input when said flash button is depressed;
a power button being movably integrated into said perimeter wall of said housing, said power button being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said control circuit receiving said on input when said power button is initially depressed, said control circuit receiving said off input when said power button is subsequently depressed;
a distress button being movably integrated into said perimeter wall of said housing, said distress button being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said control circuit receiving said distress input when said distress button is depressed;
a power supply being integrated into said housing, said power supply being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said power supply comprising:
at least one battery being integrated into said housing, said at least one battery being electrically coupled to said control circuit; and
a charge port being recessed into said perimeter wall of said housing thereby facilitating said charge port to receive a charge cord, said charge port being electrically coupled to said at least one battery for charging said at least one battery.
