Claim:
An illuminable address display system for exhibiting a customized address number in a variety of orientations, said illuminable address display system comprising: a plurality of mobile support blocks adjustably connected to each other along a side-by-side orientation, each of said mobile support blocks having an anterior side provided with a transparent number affixed thereto; a plurality of conductive cords having first and second opposed ends adjustably connected to adjacent ones of said support blocks; a controller communicatively coupled to said conductive cords in such a manner that each of said numbers are simultaneously toggled between illuminated and non-illuminated modes based upon a corresponding user input at said controller; means for freely displacing said first and second opposed ends of said conductive cords along unique travel paths defined about respective perimeters of said support blocks so that said support blocks are freely positioned in alternate orientations while said numbers remain at the illuminated mode respectively; wherein each of said support blocks comprises a power supply source electrically coupled to said controller respectively; a light-emitting member electrically coupled to said power supply source; and a conductive coupling electrically engaged with said light-emitting member and adjacent ones of said conductive cords in such a manner that power is continuously transferred to adjacent ones of said light-emitting members while a said adjacent conductive cords are displaced along said travel paths respectively; wherein said conductive cord displacing means comprises a plurality of tracks formed about said perimeters of said support blocks respectively; a plurality of ball bearings attached directly to said opposed first and second ends of said conductive cords respectively such that a pair of said ball bearings are simultaneously situated along each of said tracks; and a plurality of sockets slidably connected to said tracks respectively such that a pair of said sockets are simultaneously positioned in each of said tracks; wherein said ball bearings are rotatably interfitted within said sockets in such a manner that each of said conductive cords and said support blocks are synchronously displaced along said associated tracks respectively.
