  • Patent number: 7628503
    Abstract: An illuminated key casing assembly includes a light transmissive casing having a top and bottom side, a key ring hole, and a slot between the top and bottom side extending to the key ring hole that is configured to receive a key. The light transmissive casing includes a first cavity holding a single battery, and a second cavity that receives a light emitting device. Disposed between the first and second cavities are first and second protrusions, wherein light that is transmitted from within the second cavity through the first protrusion is dispersed through the light transmissive casing. The second protrusion has a mounting hole and an arcuate-shaped slot. The light emitting device has a first leadwire force-fit between a sidewall of the first cavity and battery so as to secure the battery, and a second leadwire received within the arcuate-shaped slot to provide a free end positioned over and spaced apart from the battery. A cover is further provided.
