This patent describes a movable power source switching means for an electrically powered element or device, wherein the switching means comprises: an electrically powered device; a receiving means for an electrical power source, wherein the receiving means comprises a retaining means for slidably retaining the power source between at least a first and second position within the retaining means; an electrical conductor connecting the power source receiving means to the electrically powered device. The power source in the first position contacts the conductor to make a closed circuit between the power source and the electrically powered device thereby activating the electrically powered device. The power source in the second position breaks the circuit thereby deactivating the electrically powered device.
