Abstract
A light-emitting beaded necklace for ornamental decoration having a plurality of ornamental beads that each define opposed slots for receiving the beads on an elongate thread. At least one light source is enclosed within one of the beads. The elongate thread extends through the opposed slots of the beads in sequence and distal ends connect together to define a looped article of wearing apparel. The necklace has pendent with a circuit for generating an electrical signal for illuminating the light source to provide a lighted ornamental effect for the beaded necklace. A method of assembling a light-emitting beaded necklace is disclosed.
Claims19
A light-emitting beaded necklace for ornamental decoration, comprising:
- a plurality of ornamental beads on an elongate thread, including ornamental beads having light sources therein and ornamental beads not having light sources therein, wherein there is at least one ornamental bead not having a light source therein between at least one pair of adjacent ornamental beads having light sources therein, and the elongate thread defines a looped article of wearing apparel;

- a plurality of ornamental beads having light sources therein;
- means for generating an electrical signal for illuminating the light sources in the beads,
- a power supply for providing power for illuminating the light sources in the beads;
- and
- a container attached to the beads,
- whereby the light sources, being caused to illuminate, provide a lighted ornamental effect for the beaded necklace;
- and
- wherein the means for generating an electrical signal and the power supply are disposed within the container.
A light-emitting beaded necklace for ornamental decoration, comprising:
- a plurality of ornamental beads connected together;
- at least one light emitting diode enclosed within a respective one of the beads;
- means for generating an electrical signal for illuminating the light emitting diode in the one of the beads,
- whereby the light emitting diode, being caused to illuminate, provides a lighted ornamental effect for the beaded necklace.
