  • Flexible continuity and circuit tester
    Patent number: 7432722
    Abstract: A flexible circuit and continuity testing device may include a flexible printed circuit substrate. A battery having a positive and negative terminal may be attached to the substrate. An illumination source, e.g., an LED, may be attached to the substrate. The testing device may include a flexible electrical contact array, a small bulb tester, a fuse tester and a system tester. Each of these may be incorporated into the substrate and coplanar with the substrate. The contact array may include a planar coil shape, a semicircular shape, a pair of parallel contacts, a set of converging contacts or other configurations. The device may be about the size and shape of a credit card. The substrate may include a magnet or a pocket clip.
