ABSTRACT:
An electrical arrangement for a handbag including a switch unit having at least one electrical terminal on its exterior, a magnetically resposive switch in its interior connected to the terminal, and a battery in the handbag connected to the terminal and to the magnetically responsive switch. The terminal is adapted to receive either an illumination device or an alarm device at the option of the handbag owner. A magnet is utilized in conjunction with my novel switch unit, with the switch unit being mounted on one interior wall of the handbag, and the magnet being mounted on another interior wall of the handbag in a position opposite, and in substantial alignment with, the switch unit. The magnet is supportable in at least two different positions on its mounting such that when in a first position it can interact with the magnetically responsive switch as the handbag is opened or closed, thus causing the illumination of a bulb or sounding of the alarm as the handbag is opened. However, when the handbag owner has moved the magnet to a second position, the magnet does not bring about a switching function as the handbag is opened, thus enabling the handbag owner to utilize an alarm circuit that will sound if the unattended bag is lifted off a surface upon which it has been resting, irrespective of the bag being open or closed. A number of different illumination circuits and alarm circuits are available at the option of the owner.
