1. An LED device comprising:
- a body;
a threadable bore in said body to engage a tire valve stem;
a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal on opposite sides, said battery being moveably positioned in a cavity in said body by continuous contact with;
a first spring on said negative terminal and a second spring on said positive terminal;
a first LED electrical contact through said first spring to an electrical contact, said second spring being insulated from electrical contact by an insulated pad positioned between said spring and said battery; and
a second LED electrical contact, comprising an internal surface of said body cavity, being positioned adjacent to said positive terminal of said battery whereby a sufficient motive force applied to said battery deforms said second spring and brings the positive terminal into electrical contact with said second LED electrical contact.

Abstract
The present device is a motion actuated, battery operated LED in which the battery is suspended between two springs in the at rest or off position in which one lead of the LED is connected to negative terminal of the battery through one spring and the other spring is insulated from electrical contact. The second spring'"'"'s purpose is to position the battery. A second LED lead is provided in close proximity to the positive terminal of the battery such that a force applied to the device and hence to the battery will impart motion to the battery and deform the second spring allowing the positive terminal to contact the second LED terminal thus completing the circuit and lighting the diode.

9. An LED device comprising:
-
a body;
a threadable bore in said body to engage a tire valve stem;
a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal on opposite sides, said battery being moveably positioned in a cavity in said body by continuous contact with;
a first spring on said negative terminal and a second spring on said positive terminal;
a first LED electrical contact through said first spring to an electrical contact, said second spring being insulated from electrical contact by an insulated Dad positioned between said spring and said battery; and
a second LED electrical contact being positioned adjacent to said positive terminal of said battery whereby a sufficient motive force applied to said battery deforms said second spring and brings the positive terminal into electrical contact with said second LED electrical contact wherein said body is non conductive and a conductive tube is positioned within said body around said battery and springs, said tube comprising said second LED contact. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
