Light Up Billiard Ball

Abstract

The lighted ball includes a spherical housing having a transparent portion, a circuit board mounted in the spherical housing, a on-off switch to detect an impact of the spherical housing and a lamp to flash in response to the impact of the spherical housing. The on off switch includes a first vibration switch and a second vibration switch which is positioned an angle with respect to the first vibration switch, and the lamp includes a first light emitting diode and a second light emitting diode which is positioned at an acute angle with respect to the first light emitting diode. The angle may be approximately 90°. The first light emitting diode may be a different color than the second light emitting diode, and the spherical housing includes a controller to receive signals from the on-off switch.

1 ) A lighted ball, comprising:
 a spherical housing having a transparent portion;   a circuit board mounted in the spherical housing;   a on-off switch to detect an impact of the spherical housing;   a lamp to flash in response to the impact of the spherical housing.   
   
   
       2 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 1 , wherein the on off switch includes a first vibration switch and a second vibration switch which is positioned at an angle with respect to the first vibration switch. 
   
   
       3 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 1 , wherein the lamp includes a first light emitting diode and a second light emitting diode which is positioned at an acute angle with respect to the first light emitting diode. 
   
   
       4 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 2 , wherein the angle is approximately 90°. 
   
   
       5 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 3 , wherein the first light emitting diode is a different color than the second light emitting diode. 
   
   
       6 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 3 , wherein the spherical housing includes a controller to receive signals from the on-off switch. 
   
   
       7 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 1 , wherein the spherical housing includes a battery to power the circuit board. 
   
   
       8 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 6 , wherein the controller controls the frequency of the flashing of the lamp. 
   
   
       9 ) A lighted ball as in  claim 1 , wherein the lighted ball is a billiard ball.
