Battery supported light with circuit maker and breaker having terminals and mounting plate directly mounted to battery coil spring electrodes

摘要

A mount is provided defining a downwardly opening socket and including a dependingly supported lower marginally extending clamp structure telescopable downwardly over the upper end of an associated upright storage battery and clampably engageable therewith. The downwardly opening socket defined by the mount includes portions thereof through which light rays may be transmitted and a dielectric horizontally disposed panel is received within the socket and has a pair of vertical contact terminals secured therethrough in horizontally spaced relation. The lower portions of the contact terminals project below the dielectric panel and electrically contact and are supported from the upper ends of a pair of horizontally spaced upwardly projecting contact terminal defined coil springs of the associated storage battery, whereby the panel is supported from the terminal defining springs. An open ended conductive material socket for receiving the base of a light bulb is supported from the panel and removably supports the base of a light bulb with the center terminal at the free end of the base of the bulb in contact with the upper end of one of the terminals secured through the dielectric panel and the socket is electrically engaged with the other terminal through a selectively operable switch member supported from the panel.
