Abstract: A ball includes a ball body and a light system including integrated infrared (IR) light-emitting-diodes (LEDs). In accordance with a disclosed embodiment, the ball is a football and is adapted for use in conjunction with virtual reality (VR) systems.

Abstract: A filling or replenishment unit is mountable on a first toothpaste tube used for travel ‘travel tube’ and may be moved to extended position to establish communication with a second tube to allow refilling of the first tube from the second.

Abstract: Illuminated shoes are provided with a switch having a fixed end for connection to one side of a battery and a movable end for contacting one of a plurality of selectable conducting members each connected to a separate terminal of a sub-circuit. Each sub-circuit contains a source of light or sound with a common terminal at the opposite end from the separate terminal and connected to the other side of said battery. The switch movable end moves substantially randomly or in random patterns under inertia to contact a conducting member to complete a sub-circuit.

Abstract: A bag which may be carried by hand or over the shoulder has a light controlled by a timing circuit so that the light is only turned on for a set period by an OFF to ON transition of a motion responsive switch occurring outside the set period. A manually operated normally open switch may allow control of the light state independently of the timing circuit.

Abstract: A bag which may be carried by hand or over the shoulder has a light controlled by a timing circuit so that the light is only turned on for a set period by an OFF to ON transition of a motion responsive switch occurring outside the set period. A manually operated normally open switch may allow control of the light state independently of the timing circuit.

Abstract: A bathtub toy has a battery, timing circuit and an audible or visible output. A motion responsive switch closes to connect the battery to the output and start the timing circuit. The timing circuit shuts off the output after an interval until the switch again closes after the interval.

Abstract: Floating Novelty for Drinks is motion operated to flash visual indication or aural indication.

Abstract: Novel gear shift knob flashes randomly utilizing a battery, motion responsive switch, a timing and illumination circuit.

Abstract: A fishing lure will time an interval if a motion responsive switch closes in the absence of an interval. During the interval power is supplied to an output circuit. The output circuit may energize radiation probes, a light or a speaker.

Abstract: A scuba or snorkel device with a circuit will turn on a light (preferably an LED) one or more times over a timed flash interval but will respond to a further closure of said switch during the flash interval. A circuit is provided to prevent response to such switch if two probes do not sense that the probe is in water. The circuit preferably will time a longer interval and turn on the light if the motion responsive switch is not actuated over the longer interval.

Abstract: A fishing lure contains a light source which when OFF is turned ON by the transition from disconnected to connected state of a device which acts as a switch. The device includes a conducting body with a defined locus of movement for said body during motion of said lure, and a pair of contacts adapted to be connected or disconnected by said body at various locations in said locus. The movement of said body causes it to make mechanical impacts and the vibrations from said impacts are transmitted to the water surrounding said lure.

Abstract: An movable article carries a circuit including a normally OFF reed switch. In the ON state of the switch, the circuit is adapted to emit an audible or a visible signal. A magnet, mounted on the article to move during normal movement moves over a designed locus which include positions which will cause the reed switch to be ON and OFF.

Abstract: An article of footwear is provided with a normally open reed switch and provides a visual or audible signal when the reed switch is closed. A magnet is provided movable under inertial forces between an ON position where it causes the reed switch to close and an OFF position where it allows the reed switch to open. The magnet is biased to OFF position.

Abstract: A watch has a motion responsive switch having ON and OFF states and a circuit adapted to energize a light, visible on the watch, for a predetermined interval after an OFF to ON transition but then to maintain the light off until the next OFF to ON transition.

Abstract: A fishing lure contains a light source which is turned on by the OFF to ON transition of a switch. Timing means will turn the light off at the end of an interval following the OFF to ON transition. Preferably a sensor only allows the light being turned on by an OFF to ON transition when the lure is submerged in water.

Abstract: Articles of footwear are provided with a battery and a light source and a motion responsive switch to intermittently connect said battery to said light source. The light source is preferably an LED and there is preferably a circuit to extinguish the light after a predetermined interval.
