Abstract:
1. An LED illuminated necklace novelty device comprising, in combination: a plurality of light emitting diodes in an LED assembly; an elongated light pipe mounted to each of the plurality of light emitting diodes, each light pipe having a light receiving end and a light emitting end, the light receiving end mounted to the light emitting diode, each light pipe formed from a light transmissive material; a plurality of conductors, the light emitting diodes mounted to the conductors spaced from one another along the length of the conductors, the light emitting diodes and the conductors defining the LED assembly; a power source operably connected to the LED assembly wherein the assembly is wired so that the circuit is formed in a linear assembly and the LEDs are connected to one another electrically and physically by the conductors in a linear manner; a switch operably connecting the power source to the LED assembly; a circuit board for control of the LED assembly by electronics on the circuit board; a housing for housing the power source and the switch; and a light transmission sheath, the LED assembly fitted, at least in part, in the sheath, the sheath having a first end mounted to the housing and a second free end, wherein the LED assembly is connected and wired to the power source and the switch housed in the housing, and wherein the light emitting diodes are illuminated by actuation of the switch and wherein light from the light emitting diodes is transmitted by the diodes and is visible through the sheath.
