Abstract:
1. An illuminable cosmetic carrying bag for storing and displaying cosmetic items, said illuminable cosmetic carrying bag comprising: a body having a plurality of walls arranged in such a manner to create a storage chamber therein, one of said walls being transparent and situated along an entire anterior side of said body, said body further having a protective flap pivotally coupled to a bottom edge of said transparent wall, said protective flap covering an entire surface area of said transparent wall when articulated to a closed position; means for removably displaying the cosmetic items on an interior face of said protective flap; and means for illuminating said storage chamber and said protective flap so that the cosmetic items are illuminated while displayed on said interior face of said protective flap; wherein said illuminating means comprises: a battery; a diode electrically coupled directly to said battery for ensuring that current flows in one direction; a switch electrically coupled to said diode and positioned downstream thereof; an electromagnetic conducting assembly electrically coupled directly to said switch; first and second terminals being spaced apart and electrically disengaged when said switch is adapted to an open position; a conductive contact attached to said first terminal; a fuse electrically coupled directly to said second terminal; and a lamp electrically coupled directly to said fuse; wherein said battery generates and transmits said current to said diode when said switch is adapted to a closed position and thereby allows said current be transmitted to said electromagnetic conducting assembly for biasing said conductive contact along an arcuate path and thereby engaging said second terminal so that said current is allowed to freely flow through said fuse and illuminate said lamp.
