Waterproof, miniature light-emitting diode (LED) device
First Claim
1. A miniature light-emitting diode (LED) device, comprising:
- a cylinder including a first housing part having an internal thread and a second housing part having an external thread and rotatably coupled to said first housing part via engagement of said threads, said cylinder defining a chamber for receiving at least one battery;
an LED light assembly arranged in connection with said cylinder, at least a portion of each of said first and second housing parts being made of conductive material to enable formation of an electrical circuit including said at least one battery when present in said chamber, said LED light assembly and said conductive portions of said first and second housing parts, rotation of said first and second housing parts relative to one another causing formation or interruption of the electrical circuit and thus controlling illumination provided by said LED light assembly;
a dome connected to said cylinder in a position covering said LED light assembly; and
means for preventing water from entering between said threads.

Abstract
Waterproof miniature LED device including a cylinder having a first housing part with an internal thread and a second housing part with an external thread and rotatably coupled to the first housing part via engagement of the threads, an LED light assembly mounted to the cylinder and a dome connected to the cylinder and covering the LED light assembly. The cylinder defines a chamber for receiving batteries. Each housing part is conductive to enable formation of an electrical circuit including the batteries, LED light assembly and conductive portions of the housing parts. Illumination provided by the LED light assembly is controlled by rotating the housing parts relative to one another causing formation or interruption of the electrical circuit. An elastic ring covers a space between the housing parts alongside the threads to prevent water from entering between the threads into the interior of the cylinder and interrupting the electrical circuit.
