Abstract: A floor illuminating bedside light unit consisting of a generally horizontal foot mat member, switch means operatively associated with the underside of the foot mat for actuation in response to foot pressure on the mat member, and floor illuminating light members connected to the switch means for "on/off" operation in response to actuation of the switch means. The unit is positioned next to the bed in a position in which the bed occupant will step on the foot mat member when entering and leaving the bed. As a result, the unit is operable to illuminate the floor of a darkened bedroom when the bed occupant steps on the mat when leaving the bed and will continue said illumination until the occupant steps on the mat when returning to the bed.

Abstract: Apparatus for indicating activation of a fishing line which includes a support body and a switching mechanism for activating a light indicator on the support body. The support body is secured to a fishing pole having a fishing line associated therewith. The switching mechanism activates the light indicator when a force is applied to the fishing line. The switching mechanism includes an L-shaped base having a vertical arm and a horizontal arm. One end of the vertical arm is secured adjacent to the support body. The other end of the vertical arm is secured to one end of a horizontal arm. A contact number is secured to the other end of the horizontal arm and is adjustable along an axis perpendicular to the plane of the horizontal arm. A curved spring member has one end secured adjacent to the other end of the support body. The free end of the curved spring arm terminates in an upwardly-extending axis generally parallel to the plane of the L-shaped base vertical arm.
