[Prior art]

 Conventionally, various types of fishing bait lights have been devised, but all are heavy, large, and inconvenient during fishing. Emergency lights and signaling lights were too large to carry around and were often refrained from use in emergency situations. In addition, it was too large to be used for sending a signal or notifying a position when diving in the sea, climbing a mountain, camping, skiing, etc., so that it could not be used easily because of its large size. Also, for the safety of nighttime traffic, reflectors and fluorescent materials are attached to the clothes of old people and children, but they were not easy to see and did not emit light themselves, so they were sometimes difficult to see.

[Action]

 In the miniature light of the present invention, the switch section once connected between the light emitting element and the battery is electrically connected to the light emitting element and the battery via the control chip when the switch is energized by contact with the conductor, and the light is emitted. The element is energized, and the light of the light emitting element provided at the position of the window is emitted to the front outside from the window provided on the mount. When the conductor comes into contact again, the switch section is energized, and the energization is cut off by the control chip. Various control chips are known, but a circuit is connected by turning on the switch once, and the circuit is cut off by turning on the next switch. In addition to the chip that alternately turns ON and OFF each time power is supplied, a chip that has a function to blink when lit is used.

[0006] The small light of the present invention has a thin plate shape, is lightweight, has a waterproof function, and is small. Using a thin substrate and a thin battery such as a button battery, all components are concentrated on a flat substrate, and a thin plate is made possible by using paper or film. Other than light-emitting elements such as thin batteries and LEDs, the use of light materials such as paper, plastic films, and foam materials makes the overall weight lighter. The light-transmitting sealed case has a structure in which a substrate and the like are hermetically sealed using a thermoplastic film, and has a sufficient waterproof property. The integration of components on the board and the simplification of the structure have made it possible to reduce the size. As described above, since materials other than batteries and light-emitting elements can be molded with lightweight materials, if the parts are sealed in a sealed case, they will become products that float on water. When a part of the sealed case is pressed with a finger or the like, the conductor is pressed and comes into contact with the switch. As a result, the lamp can be turned on and off, and ON and OFF from outside the sealed case have been ensured. FIG. 6 shows an example of a locking piece attached to clothing, a hat, or the like, but the present invention is not limited to this. In this example, the elastic thin plate is cut out as shown in Fig. 6, the left and right feet are inserted into the back pockets of the small light of the present invention, the central tongue is exposed, and the lower end of this tongue is inserted. Bent for ease.

[0007]

Embodiment 1 As shown in FIG. 1, a thin button battery 6 is mounted on the back surface of a substrate 4, and connection terminals 10a, 10b and 10c, 10c provided on both ends of the substrate 4 are provided with LED terminals 11a, respectively. 11b is fixed. The light emitting part of the LED is mounted facing forward. The switch unit 7 is provided at the center of the front surface of the substrate 4. The entire board 4 to which the various components described above are attached is covered with the mount 2. Windows 3 are provided at two positions on the front surface of the mount 2 so as to face the light emitting portions of the LEDs, and a conductor 9 is provided on the front back surface of the mount 2 in a state facing the switch portion 7 at the center of the front surface of the substrate 4. Float it without touching it. Note that the mount 2 has elasticity. The mount 2 is accommodated in the light-transmitting sealed case 1. The light-transmitting sealed case 1 uses a vinyl chloride film, a polyethylene film, a polyester film, or another thermoplastic film. In this embodiment, when the center of the front surface of the light-transmitting sealed case 1 is pressed with a finger or the like, the center of the mount 2 is also pressed in the reverse direction, and the conductor 9 attached to the same portion is also pushed, so that the conductor 9 is pressed. Contacts the switch section 7 of the substrate 4. Once contact is made, the switch section 7 is energized, and then the left and right two LEDs 5 are lit via the control chip 8 even if the finger or the like is released and the switch section is interrupted. Next, when the switch unit 7 is turned on by pressing again with a finger, the LED 5 is turned off.

[0008]

Second Embodiment A board 4 to which various components used in the first embodiment are attached is fixed to a fixing core 12 as shown in FIGS. The fixing core 12 is made of cardboard or foam material. The fixed core 12 to which the substrate 4 is fixed is covered by a flexible switch plate 13. The conductor 9 is floated and attached to the front rear surface of the switch plate 13 so as not to contact the switch portion 7, and a hole 14 is provided at a position facing the light emitting portion of the LED 5. However, this is not necessary when the switch plate is made of a transparent material. Other structures are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0009]
