ABSTRACT:
An illuminator assembly is disclosed which is formed from a light emitting diode (LED) having two electrode pins extending therefrom which are cut to predetermined lengths. One lead then is formed to provide a circularly shaped spring support base and the other lead is bent to provide an attachment potion extending through the center of the opening formed by the spring support base. A capture spring of conical configuration then is attached to the centrally disposed lead which extends through the spring support base opening. A compressible coil switching spring then is attached to the spring support base. The assemblage thus formed is employed with a battery of a variety having a forward face which engages the free end of the switching spring and which includes a rod shaped electrode extending from the center portion thereof. Upon providing relative mutually approaching movement of a battery and illuminator assembly, the rod-like cathode is engaged by the capture spring and an electrical circuit is completed to illuminate the LED. Conversely, the releasing or reverse movement under the drive imparted by the switching spring switches the assemblage to an open circuit condition.
