  • Patent number: 7374307
    Abstract: A article of manufacture that includes a luminous medallion. A conductor having a coating of non-conductive material is formed into a loop having two discontinuities. A clasp that houses a removable battery is fixed within the first discontinuity and a bead having an internally embedded LED is located within the second discontinuity. Electrical connections are made to electrodes located within the clasp by interior electrical conductors exposed at the stripped ends of the coated conductors that define one discontinuity. The conductors are fixed in electrical contact with the LED at the other discontinuity at the stripped ends of the coated conductor in the region of the second discontinuity. A membrane with an interior surface and an exterior surface, with the exterior surface adapted to receive the medallion secured thereto, and the interior surface adapted to receive elements of the clasp.

    Abstract: A article of manufacture that includes a luminous medallion. A conductor having a coating of non-conductive material is formed into a loop having two discontinuities. A clasp that houses a removable battery is fixed within the first discontinuity and a head having an internally embedded LED is located within the second discontinuity. Electrical connections are made to electrodes located within the clasp by interior electrical conductors exposed at the stripped ends of the coated conductors that define one discontinuity. The conductors are fixed in electrical contact with the LED at the other discontinuity at the stripped ends of the coated conductor in the region of the second discontinuity. A membrane with an interior surface and an exterior surface, with the exterior surface adapted to receive the medallion secured thereto, and the interior surface adapted to receive elements of the clasp.
