AB -  NUMBER SEPTEMBER, 1966 AN ILLUMINATED RAT-LEVER USING AN ELECTROLUMINESCENT LAMP' RoY W. PICKENS2 AND WILLIAM F. CROWDER UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI An inexpensive and easily constructed ratlever that can be illuminated uniformly without undue lighting of other parts of the enclosure is described. The lever consists of an electroluminescent lamp in the form of a thin (.03-in. thick) sheet which is inserted into a deep, band-sawed slit in a piece of plastic. The plastic is mounted on a hinge, and some means of actuating electrical contacts is provided. The lever shown in Fig. 1 uses a General Electric flexible plastic electroluminescent lamp. The lamp has a rating of 120 v ac, a nominal size of 2 in. by 2 in., and a 1% by 1% in. lighted area. The lever is made from a piece of clear plastic, 2/8 in. long, 2 in. wide, ¾ in. thick, and sawed as shown. Sandpaper can be used to roughen the top surface and round the front edge of the plastic. A simple hinge-and-contacts assembly, shown in Fig. 1, can be made from a short telephone relay (Crowder and Wilkes, 1964). The lever, with the lamp in place, is attached by a
