Decorative lighting device

The invention relates to a decorative lighting device with a power source, a light emitting diode and a socket according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such known lighting devices (DE-OS 2 141 631) serve to reinforce the decorative impression of clothing, jewelry, hairstyles and interior decorations.

Here, single or multiple light emitting diodes are continuously or intermittently by hand or by means of an electronic Switching arrangement on or off. These lighting devices are therefore relatively complex and expensive.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a lighting device of the type mentioned in the introduction thus cheaper to train.

This object is achieved by the invention characterized in the protection claim.

That is, a decorative lighting device of the type mentioned is created in which the power source is designed as a button cell, the side surfaces of the contacts of the light-emitting diode arranged on the circumferential surface be engaged in a touching manner, with the socket enclosing the button cell and the contacts 10

With this construction, complex construction elements such as housings, switches or electronic circuits. 15th

Advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

By designing the socket from an insulating, elastic plastic material, in an advantageous manner both a simple attachment of the diode to the one to be decorated Part through which it is put through with its contacts, e.g. a piece of clothing, as well as a simple holding device for the button cell created. 25th

By arranging cutouts in the two sides facing the side surfaces of the button cell, the positioning of the light-emitting diode on the button cell is advantageously facilitated.
30th

Finally, the fact that the length of the contacts of the light emitting diode is essentially the diameter of the button cell a good contact and a firm connection between the light-emitting diode and the button cell are ensured.

To attach the lighting device to the part to be decorated, the light-emitting diode is pulled out of the socket and thus detached from the button cell. The contacts of the light-emitting diode are then connected to one side by the 5 part to be decorated, e.g. a piece of clothing, pinned. ! For this purpose the lower ends of the contacts are with

Tips. Then the button cell provided with the socket is on the side opposite the light-emitting diode Arranged of the garment and inserted the contacts into the socket. The support in the version provided recesses in an advantageous manner the positioning of the button cell. Due to the elasticity of the The light-emitting diode becomes the socket and the length of the contacts essentially corresponds to the diameter of the button cell held securely on the button cell, being located between the light-emitting diode and the button cell on the peripheral surface the part to be decorated extends. In that the length of the contacts is not greater than the diameter of the Button cell, injury from protruding contacts is definitely avoided.

To switch the lighting device on or off, the contacts are simply pulled out of the socket and vice versa Way again on the button cell, i.e. on the opposite side surfaces of the button cell. Due to the polarity of the side surfaces of the button cell and the light-emitting diode, in one arrangement Emits light and emits no light in the other arrangement.

30th

With the invention, a lighting device is created which is simple in construction, safe to use and inexpensive to manufacture is.

over the middle area of button cell 1 and the contacts 4a, 4b of the light-emitting diode arranged on the button cell 1, the socket 2 extends. The socket 2 encloses the Button cell 1 and is preferably made of an elastic, iso-

30 lined plastic material. In the middle of both facing the side surfaces 6a, 6b of the button cell 1 Pages are vertically extending recesses that extend from the lower edge to the upper edge of the mount 2 intended. These recesses are used to accommodate the
