Title: Light guide reading board

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      a) Field of the Invention  
      The present invention relates to a light guide reading board, especially to a reading board having a light guide plate and a shell. By a light source inside the shell providing light, the light guide plate shines and is used at night or occasions without enough light.  
      b) Description of the Prior Art  
      Refer to  Fig. 1 , a conventional light guide board includes a light source inside a shell. The light emitted from the light source is reflected inside the light guide plate successfully so that the whole light guide plate is bright. The brightness of the light is just enough for reading and won&#39;t disturb others.  
      However, such kind of light guide reading board has just one function without other usages. In order to enhance the functions of the light guide reading board, the present invention is provided with the functions of lightening, amplifying, recording, receiving radios, and timing.  
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      Therefore, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a light guide reading plate with multiple functions for increasing the market competitiveness.

       FIG. 2  is an explosive view of the present invention;  
       FIG. 3  is a perspective view of the present invention;  
       FIG. 4  is a schematic drawing of an embodiment of the present invention. 
    
    
     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
      Refer to  FIG. 2  &amp;  FIG. 3 , a preferred embodiment of a light guide reading board  1  in accordance with the present invention is disclosed. The light guide reading board is composed of a light guide plate  10  and a shell  20 . The light guide plate  10  is arranged on lateral side of the shell  20 . A sliding slot  21  is disposed on top of the shell  20  while a magnifying glass frame  21   a  is extending outward from the sliding slot  21  and is moveable inside the sliding slot  21 . A light emission circuitry  22 , recording circuitry  23 , radio circuitry  24  and a timer  25  are disposed inside the shell  20 . A light source  22   a  of the light emission circuitry  22  is also installed inside the shell  20  and is controlled by an external switch. The light source  22   a  is a light bulb, light emitting diode (LED), or cold light. The recording circuitry  23  and the radio circuitry  24  are controlled and shifted by a switch  26 . When the recording function is used, the recording circuitry  23  is connected to a microphone  23   a  that receives the voice signal and stored in side the memory of the recording circuitry  23 . By an earphone jack  24   a  or a speaker  24   b  of the radio circuitry  24 , users can listen the recorded signals. While receiving radios, users listen to the radio through the earphone jack  24   a  or the speaker  24   b . The radio frequency and voice volume are regulated by a switch. The timer  25  is used to alarm users the preset time is up by voices or light.  
      Refer to  FIG. 4 , it discloses an embodiment of the present invention. The light guide reading board  1  is set on top of the documents or material for reading. The light guide plate  10  is lighted by the light source  22   a  of the light emission circuitry  22 . Through the magnifying glass frame  21   a  inside the sliding slot  21 , the words on the documents or material for reading are magnifying and are more clear. Moreover, with the recoding function, the content of the speech is recorded without missing. The radio and timer also provide users some entertainment and time setting for some special events.  
      While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail, it will be readily understood and appreciated that numerous omissions, changes and additions may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
