Integral ball point pen and light

Claim 2

In a ball point pen having an operating button at a first end and a writing ball at a second end and a stem means connecting said button with said ball the improvement comprising: a first enlarged hollow portion comprising a first compartment positioned at said first end; a second enlarged hollow portion comprising a second compartment positioned at said second end; a battery positioned in said first compartment; electric light bulbs positioned in said second compartment; said second compartment being characterized by translucent external walls; electrical connecting means between said battery and said bulbs; a switch inserted in said electrical connecting means; said stem means being positioned in part within said first compartment for operatively connecting said button with said ball; said stem means being further so positioned as to avoid contact with said battery and said connecting means.

Claim 3

The pen of claim 1 in which said battery is positioned between said button and said stem means and said connecting means is positioned between said button and said stem means, said stem means comprising: a depresser unit; said depresser unit comprising a plurality of vertical prongs; said prongs being disposed to straddle said battery; said prongs being further disposed to transmit the vertical motion of said button to said ball.

Claim 4

A ball point pen with integral light comprising; an elongated hollow central section; a first enlarged hollow section comprising a compartment positioned on a first end of said central section; a second enlarged hollow section comprising a compartment positioned on a second end of said central section; said central section and said first section being composed of an electrically conductive material; said second section being composed of translucent material; a battery fixedly positioned in said first section and having a first terminal in electrical contact with said compartment; an elongated ball point pen member slidably positioned within said central section; said pen member having a ball point initially positioned within said section section; means positioned in said first section in operative relation with said pen member to cause said ball point to alternately protrude from and withdraw into said second section; electrical illuminating means having two terminals fixedly positioned within said second section; a first of said terminals being disposed to make electrical contact with said central section and said compartment of said first section; electrical means connecting a second of said terminals of said illuminating means to a second terminal of said battery; a switch interposed in said electrical connecting means.

Claim 5

A ball point pen with integral light comprising; an elongated hollow central section; a first enlarged hollow section comprising a compartment positioned on a first end of said central section; a second enlarged hollow section comprising a compartment positioned on a second end of said central section; said central section and said first section being composed of an electrically conductive material; said second section being composed of translucent material; a battery fixedly positioned in said first section and having a first terminal in electrical contact with said compartment; an elongated ball point pen member slidably positioned within said central section; said pen member having a ball point initially positioned within said section section; means positioned in said first section in operative relation with said pen member to cause said ball point to alternately protrude from and withdraw into said second section; electrical illuminating means having two terminals fixedly positioned within said second section; a first of said terminals being disposed to make electrical contact with said central section and said compartment of said first section; electrical means connecting a second of said terminals of said illuminating means to a second terminal of said battery; a switch interposed in said electrical connecting means.
