Portable electric cord lighting

A portable auxiliary illumination device is provided, which consists of an elongated power cord and a plug at one end of the power cord for engagement with an outlet to receive electrical current therefrom. A plurality of sockets are located in series along the length of the power cord. A plurality of suction cups are each connected to one of the sockets, sot hat the sockets can be removably attached to a flat surface of a mirror. A plurality of light bulbs are each removably disposed within each socket to produce additional light for dimly lit areas adjacent the mirror.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
The instant invention relates generally to lamps and more specifically it 
relates to a portable auxiliary illumination device, which provides 
additional light for dimly lit areas by attachment with suction cups to a 
mirror surface. 
There are available various conventional lamps which do not provide the 
novel improvements of the invention herein disclosed. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a portable 
auxiliary illumination device that will overcome the shortcomings of the 
prior art devices. 
Another object is to provide a portable auxiliary illumination device that 
can be removably installed to a surface of a mirror by suction cups to 
produce additional light for dimly lit areas. 
An additional object is to provide a portable auxiliary illumination device 
that contains light sockets on a power cord, which can be slide therealong 
on a flexible track to differentiate positions to place light at specific 
dimly lit areas near the surface of the mirror. 
A further object is to provide a portable auxiliary illumination device 
that is simple and easy to use. 
A still further object is to provide a portable auxiliary illumination 
device that is economical in cost to manufacture 
Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds. 
To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may 
be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, 
attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are 
illustrative only, and that changes may be made in the specific 
construction illustrated and described within the scope of the appended 
claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference 
characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, the 
Figures illustrate a portable auxiliary illumination device 10, which 
consists of an elongated power cord 12 and a plug 14 at one end of the 
power cord 14 for engagement with an outlet (not shown) to receive 
electrical current therefrom. A plurality of sockets 16 are located in 
series along the length of the power cord 14. A plurality of suction cups 
18, are each connected to one of the sockets 16, so that the sockets 16 
can be removably attached to a flat surface of a mirror 20. A plurality of 
light bulbs 22, are each removably disposed within each socket 16 to 
produce additional light for dimly lit areas adjacent the mirror 20. 
As best seen in FIG. 2, a plurality of connectors 24 are provided, with 
each having a threaded aperture 26 and is affixed to one of the sockets 
16. Each suction cup 18 has a threaded shank 28 to removably engage with 
the threaded aperture 26 in one of the connectors 24, so that the suction 
cups 18 can be removed and replaced when needed. 
FIG. 3 shows a mechanism 30 on the power cord 12, for allowing each socket 
16 to slide to a different position, so as to place the additional light 
at specific dimly lit areas adjacent the mirror 20. 
The sliding mechanism 30 includes a flexible track 32 mounted on the power 
cord 12. A pair of recessed electrical contact strips 34 are spaced apart 
in a parallel longitudinal relationship on the flexible track 32. Each 
socket 16 has a transverse aperture 36 therethrough, with a pair of spaced 
apart electrical contact pins 38 within the transverse aperture 36 (see 
FIG. 4). Each socket 16 can ride on the flexible track 32 through the 
transverse aperture 36, with the contact pins 38 riding on the recessed 
electrical contact strips 34. 
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and 
described and ar pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood 
that various omissions, substitutions and changes in the forms and details 
of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those 
skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
