Abstract
A water activated locus identifying device for attachment to articles apt to be lost in a body of water wherein the water activation serves to operate an electric light thereby making the locus of the article more easily identified.
Claims7
A water activated locus identifying device adapted to be coupled to an article to aid in locating such article, said device comprising a hollow sealed container, a cap threaded onto one end of said container to seal same and capture air therein to cause said container to float when disposed in a body of water, an electrically operated light carried by said container, electric circuit means within said container and coupled to said light, said circuit means including a pair of spaced leads extending out of said container and disposed in said circuit means to energize said light when coupled together by immersion into a body of conductive fluid such as water, said spaced leads supporting said circuit means from said cap and disposed within said container.
A water activated locus identifying assembly of positive buoyancy comprising a transparent container formed with threads at one end and closed at the other end, an electric light carried in said other end, electric circuit means coupled to operate said light, a threaded cap carried by said threads at said one end and serving to seal said one end to capture air within said container to provide said positive buoyancy, said cap carrying an interior layer of insulation material, a pair of conductive supports having exterior ends thereof passing through said cap and said insulation material to the surrounds at one end thereof and coupled into said circuit means in a manner forming an open circuit between the exterior ends thereof but being interconnected when disposed into a conductive body of fluids such as water.
