Abstract
A vehicle antenna light assembly (10) that is adapted to be removably attached to a vehicle antenna tip (90) as located on a vehicle antenna (92). The assembly (10) is comprised of an electronic light enclosure (12) that encloses a battery powered electronic light circuit (80) that sequentially activates a set of LED'S when the external environment is dark and the vehicle is moving. The enclosure (12) is attached to the antenna tip (90) by utilizing an enclosure attachment cup (32), a central attachment structure (42), and a compression washer (68). The attachment is accomplished by attaching the structure (42) to a lower section (18) of the enclosure (12). The cup (32) followed by the compression washer (68) is then inserted over the antenna (90) and the cup (32) is attached to a cup attachment cavity (60) located on the structure (42). When the attachment sequence is complete, the washer (68) bias the antenna tip (90) against the base (44) of the structure (42) to maintain a rigid attachment.
