ABSTRACT:
An illumination arrangement for a small moving object of the type which includes a main object arranged to be moved when an outside force is applied to the object and a moving base arranged to permit the main object to move when the outside force is applied to the main object by overcoming a resistance to movement of the main object which would otherwise be present, includes an illumination arrangement mounted between the moving base and the main object. The moving object can for example take the form of a skate, skate board, or a toy such as a toy car. In the case of a skate, the illumination arrangement is mounted in a transparent outsole which also contains a power supply and all necessary circuitry, the lighting elements used therein being in the form of electro-luminescent strips or panels, and the outsole being secured between the roller or blade mounting bracket of the skate and the boot by including openings for passage of the rivets or similar fasteners used to attach the mounting bracket to the boot. The boot itself may contain openings, such as ventilation openings, through which additional illumination elements attached to a soft liner can be viewed, or the object may itself be transparent and the illumination elements affixed to an inside surface of the main object.
