Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010041081A1] Pull switch apparatus is disclosed consisting of a pull switch (2) adapted to be mounted on a ceiling, a depending actuation cord (1) and, attached to the cord (1), a gripping member (2) in the form of a housing body (4), inside of which are a power source, an illumination device, and switch means connected to the power source and the illumination device. When the housing body (4) is moved or when the housing body (4) is approached by a person, the illumination device lights up to provide usually low level illumination. The apparatus is of particular value when the ceiling mounted pull switch (2) is in a bathroom or w.c. as the user at night does not have to actuate the ceiling switch in order to be able to see adequately.
