[6] US6082886 describes illuminated paving stones mountable on the ground. However, again it is not possible to advertise a product or a business on these stones. [7] The illuminated paving stone according to the invention may be readily mounted on the ground and allows advertising of a product or a place. And also instruction symbols can be located within the illuminated stones according to the invention to guide people. [8] Brief Description of the Invention

[II] Detailed Description of the Invention

[12] The stone according to the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: [13] Figure 1 shows a top perspective view of the illuminated advertising stones according to the invention. [14] Figure 2 shows a side perspective view of the illuminated advertising stones according to the invention. [15] The parts of the illuminated advertising stones according to the invention are given reference numerals as follows: [16] 1. Illuminated stone

[17] 2. Body

[18] 3. Light source

[19] 4. Cable

[20] The illuminated advertising stone (1) according to the invention comprises at least one body (2) with writings or patterns thereon, a light source (3) under said body (2)
