Internally illuminated elastomeric novelty device with external projections
DCFirst Claim
1. A novelty device, comprising:
- an elastic casing having a hollow central region that defines an internal area;
a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly from said central region;
an electronics module disposed within said internal area, said electronics module including a housing having two halves, at least one light source, at least one battery, at least one spring for biasing said halves of said housing apart and a switch for activating said at least one light source, wherein said switch is activated when said two halves of said housing are biased together with a force sufficient to compress said at least one spring.

Abstract
An internally illuminated novelty device having an electronics module contained within a translucent elastic casing. The elastic casing has a hollow central region that defines an internal pocket. A plurality of protrusions extend outwardly from the central region so as to cushion the central region from experiencing any direct impact forces. The electronics module is disposed within the internal pocket so that the elastic casing surrounds the electronics module. The electronics module includes a housing, at least one light source, at least one battery, and a switch for activating and deactivating the light source. The switch is controlled by selectively compressing the housing. Since the housing is within the elastic casing, the switch can be controlled by selectively squeezing the elastic casing. When activated, the light source illuminates the interior of the elastic casing, thereby internally illuminating the novelty device.

9. An internally illuminated novelty device, comprising:
-
a housing having a first section and a second section; at least one spring within said housing that biases said first section and said second section apart; a switch disposed within said housing that is activated when said first section and said second section are biased toward one another with a force sufficient to compress said at least one spring; a light source disposed within said housing that is selectively activated and deactivated by said switch; a casing that surrounds said housing, wherein said casing is made from a translucent elastomeric gel. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
