LIGHTED HEADGEAR AND ACCESSORIES THEREFOR

1 . A switch device comprising:

a switch base;

a guard wall having a top surface;

a pushbutton actuator mounted to the switch base for being depressible with respect thereto to activate an electrical device with the guard wall extending at least partially around the pushbutton actuator and arranged such that activation of the electrical device requires that pushbutton actuator be depressed to a position below the top surface of the guard wall.

2 . The switch device of claim 1 wherein the guard wall is integral with the switch base.

3 . The switch device of claim 1 wherein the pushbutton actuator extends above the top surface of the guard wall when in an undepressed position.

4 . The switch device of claim 1 in combination with a hat having a head reception portion and a brim portion extending forwardly therefrom, the electrical device being mounted to the brim portion, and the switch base being coupled to the brim portion of the hat for activation of the electrical device.

5 . A try-me device comprising:

a dual mode switch device having momentary and continuous operation modes; and

a removable stop removably coupled to the dual mode switch device for allowing operation of the dual mode switch device in the momentary operation mode but not in the continuous operation mode until the removable stop is removed from the dual mode switch device.

6 . The try-me device of claim 5 wherein the dual mode switch device comprises:

a switch base; and

a pushbutton actuator mounted to the switch base for being depressible with respect thereto to operate the dual mode switch between the momentary and continuous operation modes.

7 . The try-me device of claim 6 wherein the pushbutton actuator includes an annular groove therearound, and the removable stop comprises a clip configured to removably fit within the groove to extend at least partially around the pushbutton actuator and further configured to abut the switch base with depression of the pushbutton actuator to prevent the dual mode switch device from operating in the continuous operation mode.

8 . The try-me device of claim 6 wherein the pushbutton actuator includes a bore therethrough, and the removable stop comprises a shaft removably extending through the bore and configured to abut the switch base with depression of the pushbutton actuator to prevent the dual mode switch device from operating in the continuous operation mode.

9 . A try-me device comprising:

a power source;

an electronic component coupled to the power source to be powered thereby;

a regular on/off switch being permanently electrically coupled to the electronic component for operation thereof; and

packaging comprising:

a removable switch block configured to at least partially cover the regular on/off switch to deny access thereto; and

a removable momentary switch being removably coupled to the power source and the electronic component for momentary operation of the electronic component.

10 . The try-me device of claim 9 wherein the removable switch block comprises a dome with a recess in a top surface thereof, and the removable momentary switch comprises a pushbutton switch received in the recess of the top surface such that the pushbutton is recessed with respect to the top surface to avoid unintentional actuation thereof.

11 . The try-me device of claim 9 wherein the removable momentary switch electrically couples to the power source through removable interrupts configured to interrupt connection between the power source and the permanent switch.

12 . The try-me device of claim 9 in combination with a hat having a head reception portion and a brim portion extending forwardly therefrom and the electronic component mounted thereto, and wherein the regular on/off switch is mounted to the brim portion for operation of the electronic component; and the packaging at least partially mounts to the brim portion of the hat for positioning the removable switch block to at least partially cover the regular on/off switch

13 . A try-me device comprising:

a power source;

an electronic component coupled to the power source to be powered thereby;

a regular on/off switch being permanently electrically coupled to the electronic component for shifting the electronic component between on and off configurations; and

a removable time-out interrupt removably connected between the power source and the regular on/off switch, the interrupt configured to transition the electronic component to the off configuration upon lapse of a predetermined amount of time.

14 . The try-me device of claim 13 wherein the removable time-out interrupt includes a motion detector and the predetermined amount of time comprises a predetermined amount of time without detection of motion.

15 . The try-me device of claim 13 in combination with a hat having a head reception portion and a brim portion extending forwardly therefrom; and

wherein the power source is mounted to one of the head reception portion, and the regular on/off switch is mounted to the brim portion.

16 - 51 . (canceled)

52 . A power source compartment comprising:

a base having a bottom wall and upstanding side walls;

a pair of generally annular surfaces of the base creating a pair of receptacles sized to receive coin cell batteries therein;

a removable cover configured to engage the base and be secured thereto for covering the receptacles; and

a handle extending from one of the base side walls configured to receive a loop of material therearound to secure the power source compartment.

53 . The power source compartment of claim 52 wherein the handle includes two members extending away from the base generally toward each other with the members each having a free end, the free ends being spaced and adjacent one another to create a gap therebetween for removably receiving the loop of material therethrough to extend around the members.

54 . The power source compartment of claim 52 in combination with a hat having a loop of material secured thereto, and the handle receives the loop of material therearound to mount the base to the hat.
