Abstract
An illuminated ornamental apparatus for decorating gift packages or other objects consisting of a bow that has an LED integrated within it. The LED is powered by a small battery encased in a housing, forming an LED assembly. A switch to turn the LED on and off is located on the outside of the housing in a manner to allow the LED to be switched on just prior to presentation of the gift package. The best results are achieved when the bow is made using either translucent (semi-opaque) or reflective (metallic) polypropylene ribbon materials of various colors, sizes, or configurations to create a multitude of unique and distinctive bows. The LED assembly may be integrated into the bow in several different ways. In one embodiment the housing is located below the bow. A small hole in the bottom of the bow allows the LED to extend up into the mid internal area of the bow, where the light from the LED can reflect or pass through the various loops of bow material as well as through spaces between the loops of bow material. Affixed to the bottom of the housing is a means to attach the illuminated bow to the gift package or other object.
