Display sticker with integral flasher circuit and power source

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention meets these needs and offers other advantages with a display sticker with an integral flasher and power source adapted to be adhesively affixed to but readily removed from an article of clothing or other fabric article.
A thin flexible sheet has a pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to its back surface, on which is mounted a printed circuit board having integrally mounted thereon an LED, a control circuit to energize the LED to flash at a humanly perceptible rate to attract attention to indicia printed ion the front surface of the sticker, and a battery.
The LED is visible through a portion of the flexible sheet.
The adhesive has a tacky surface enabling the sticker to be readily affixed to fabric and yet readily removed therefrom, i.
e.
, without substantial force and without damage to the fabric such as by removing portions thereof or leaving adhesive residue thereon.
It is an object of the present invention to provide enhanced eye-catching or otherwise attention-getting characteristics beyond those attainable with conventional printed stickers.
Another object is to provide a self-contained display sticker that may be attached to a garment without causing noticeable sag in the garment or producing a noticeable bulge on the surface of the garment or sticker.
A further object is to provide a compact flasher circuit and power source on a sticker.
Yet another object is to attract greater attention to a sticker with a minimum of additional parts, weight and thickness.
Still another object is to maintain design and manufacturing simplicity, low cost, and ease and comfort of use while providing a sticker with dynamic display capabilities.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent upon reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
