Abstract
An inertially responsive switch for use in footwear for electrically connecting a battery with a light includes an electrically conductive ball mounted in a housing for rolling movement about an upright axis along which a pair of electrical terminals are spaced apart. When the ball contacts the terminals, an electrical current from the battery passes along the terminals and the ball in order to illuminate the light.
