Patent ID: 8695538

Claim:
A lick deterrent device comprising: a flexible substrate having first side surface and an opposite second side surface, the substrate being physically conformable in three directions, along its length, width and thickness, the substrate further being stretchable along its length (x); a first conductive trace and a second conductive trace both on the first side surface of the substrate, the second trace electrically insulated from the first trace, the first and second conductive traces also being conformable in three directions and stretchable at least along their length; and a battery pack retaining a button battery having a disc shape with top and bottom flat, circular sides and a circumferential edge, the battery having an anode on one side and a cathode on the other side, the battery pack retaining at least one of the anode or the cathode electrically against the first trace, and the battery pack including a terminal extension for connecting the other of the anode or the cathode to the second conductive trace, the terminal extension including a top portion extending over the top side of the battery, a pair of edge portions extending from the top portion over the circumferential edge of the battery and an end portion extending from the end of each edge portion for contact with the conductive traces of the substrate.
