发明名称 Motion activated illuminating footwear and light module therefor
摘要 Motion activated illuminating footwear includes a heel having a transparent portion; and a light module positioned within the heel, the light module including two light emitting diodes (LEDs) for providing illumination, the LEDs being located so as to be visible exteriorly of the heel through the transparent portion thereof and the LEDs having positive and negative terminals, a printed circuit board supporting the LEDs, a battery for supplying power to the LEDs, leads connecting the positive terminals of the LEDs to the battery, a switch which alternately provides contact between the battery and the negative terminal of the LEDs upon movement of the footwear, the switch including a coil extension spring electrically connected with the negative terminals of the LEDs, for intermittently contacting the battery as a result of movement of the footwear, the spring having a first end supported by the printed circuit board and being electrically connected by the printed circuit board to the negative terminals of the LEDs, and an opposite second free end extending above and out of contact with the battery when the footwear is not moving and intermittently contacting the battery as a result of movement of the footwear, such that the battery is disconnected from the negative terminal of the LEDs upon upward motion of the spring and the battery is connected to the negative terminal of the LEDs upon downward motion of the spring so as to cause illumination of the LEDs.
