Abstract
An electrical indicating device having an animal appearance with indicator lights, incorporated as a part of the features of the animal, to be energized to indicate selection of a right answer from among a number of possible answers. A casing is formed of two portions which cooperate to define a chamber. The outer configuration of the casing provides an animal appearance, with the indicator lights included as features of the animal. A mounting member fastened within the casing mounts circuitry including a probe that extends out of the casing. The probe includes an inner pin and a surrounding tube separated by an insulator. When the probe is touched to an electrically conductive area, the pin and tube are interconnected to complete the circuitry energizing the indicator lights.
