Abstract
A hollow illuminated fishing bobber of generally spherical shape, comprising two substantially hollow hemispherical shell members with cooperating joining means on each of the shell members for joining the shell members together to form the generally spherical shape and with an annular sealing member interposed between the shell members, a lamp member having elongated electrical leads, one of the shell members is adapted to be the upper member and has apertures therethrough for receiving the lamp leads. An elastic pocket member is disposed within the hollow bobber receiving a disc type battery therein having terminals on either side thereof where the lamp leads extend into the pocket member on either side of the battery and are frictionally held in contact with the battery by the pocket member. The two shell members are identical and each defines an inner annular shoulder adjacent the open ends thereof. The annular sealing member is disposed between the shoulders and the cooperating locking means on each of the shell members locks the shell members together with the sealing member compressively received therebetween, whereby the bobber is sealed against ingress of water therein.
