ABSTRACT:
An electrically lighted plush toy having a glowing face or head. A semi-rigid vinyl, hollow, translucent head has a plush exterior cover attached thereto. The plush exterior cover encloses a resilient mass which surrounds an essentially cylindrical, molded plastic, translucent battery and lightbulb housing. A retaining ring in the neck portion of the head coaxially positions and retains the housing. The housing has an integrally molded battery compartment, an integrally molded globe for enclosing a lightbulb, and an integrally molded operating lever positioned on its exterior. A first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor are positioned in the interior of the housing with at least one battery and a lightbulb. The operating lever is adapted for depressing the first electrical conductor through an opening in the housing to contact the second electrical circuit and complete an electrical circuit formed by the electrical conductors, battery and lightbulb to light the lightbulb. When pressure is applied to the front of the exterior cover of the plush toy, the resilient mass depresses the operating lever which in turn depresses the first electrical conductor to light the lightbulb and cause the face or head of the plush toy to glow.
