Patent ID: 7784960

Claim:
A light-emitting diode (LED) illuminator for a headgear with a visor, said illuminator comprising: a light-emitting diode module including a plurality of light-emitting diodes arranged as a unitary module; a single-piece, folded frame having a first end and a second end, said plurality of light-emitting diodes being positioned adjacent to said first end for selectively emitting light therefrom, the single-piece frame having a first part and a second part, a plurality of snap-on fasteners being located on each of the first part and the second part, the snap-on fasteners on the first part respectively facing and matching the snap-on fasteners on the second part, thereby fastening the first part to the second part and forming the folded frame, the light-emitting diodes being located in a space of the folded frame between the first part and the second part; and an electronics control part for controlling the light-emitting diodes, the electronics control part including a switch, said switch being displaced towards said second end of said frame relative to the positioning of the light-emitting diodes, wherein the second part of the frame has an opening receiving the electronics control part, wherein the light-emitting diodes are fitted in the frame, side by side, adjacent to each other, said light-emitting diodes being directly operatively connected to the switch through the frame without the use of elongated wires, and wherein the light-emitting diodes and the switch are arranged integrally to the frame.
