Claims7
A waist light assembly, comprising:
- a waist belt having a first height and made of limited stretch elastic, the waist belt sized so as to circumvent a user's waist, the waist belt further comprising:
- a front pad comprising:
- i. a front layer;
- ii. a rear layer for engaging an abdomen area of the user;
- iii. a space between the front layer and rear layer to allow the waist belt to pass therebetween;
- iv. foam for padding within the front pad;
- the front pad having a second height greater than the first height of the waist belt, the second height of the front pad distributing pressure experienced by a user;
- a rear pad for engaging the user's back, the rear pad comprising foam and having a third height greater than the first height of the waist belt, the third height of the rear pad distributing pressure experienced by a user;
- a light housing couplable to the front pad, the light housing comprising at least one light-emitting device, a reflector, a lens, a bezel, and an electrical wire with an electrical coupler thereon;
- a cylindrical battery housing separate from the light housing and couplable to the rear pad in a horizontal position, the battery housing comprising an electrical wire with an electrical coupler thereon;
- and
- wherein the electrical coupler of the light housing is couplable to the electrical coupler of the battery housing via one or more electrical wires.
