Illumination device
First Claim
1. An illumination device adapted to be placed on a soft, penetrable support surface for illuminating a surrounding region, comprising:
- (A) a housing having a base adapted to confront the support surface and adapted to support a power source;
(B) prong-like first and second electrical contacts in electrical communication with said power source when the power source is supported by said housing, said first and second electrical contacts projecting away from said base on a first side thereof and adapted to penetrate the support surface when said base is placed in confronting relation thereto;
(C) a light source supported relatively to said base on a second side thereof opposite said first side and in electrical communication with the power source such that, when electrical current flows between said first and second contacts, said light source is operative to produce light.

Abstract
An illumination device for illuminating a surrounding region that is adapted to be placed on a soft penetrable support surface, such as the bottom of a pumpkin. The illumination device includes a housing with a base, which sets on the support surface and supports a power source. The base also includes a pair of prong-like electrical contacts, which penetrate the support surface. The illumination device further includes a light source in electrical communication with the power source, such that when electrical current flows between the electrical contacts the light source is operative to produce light.

11. An illumination device adapted to be placed on a soft, penetrable support surface for illuminating a surrounding region, comprising:
-
(A) a housing including a base and an upstanding side wall forming a housing interior, said housing adapted to support at least one battery in a received state;
(B) a top cover enclosing the interior opposite said base, said top cover being formed of a light transmissive material;
(D) a light source disposed in the interior of said housing in electrical communication with said battery by means of an electrical switch arrangement including at least a pair of prong-like first and second electrical contacts in electrical communication with said battery when in the received stated, said first and second electrical contacts protruding through said base on a first side thereof and adapted to penetrate the support surface when said base is placed in confronting relation thereto;
(E) a light source disposed in the interior of said housing in electrical communication with said battery by means of an electrical switch arrangement including at least a pair of prong-like electrical contacts protruding through said base so as to extend exteriorly of said housing, such that, when electrical current flows between said first and second contacts, said light source is operative to produce light; and
(F) a light reflector dish associated with said light source. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
