Abstract
A hazard marker kit has several components including a hazard light, a base for supporting the light in different angular orientations on different surfaces, a translucent cone, and a staff with attached pennant. The hazard light is housed within a disc shaped high impact plastic housing, an upper portion of which is transparent. A plurality of LEDs are circularly disposed proximal to the side of the upper portion. A ring counter provides signals to transistors that sequentially drive the LEDs. Excitation provided to the ring counter is controlled to cause a desired current through the LEDs to simulate a rotating beacon, a flashing beacon or a continuous light.
Claims21
A hazard marker comprising a waterproof disc shaped hazard light with a lower housing and a transparent upper housing, a waterproof seal between said upper housing and said lower housing, a circuit board mounted in said lower housing, a waterproof battery compartment and a plurality of light sources circularly disposed within said upper housing proximal to a wall thereof operatively connected with said circuit board, and means for causing emission of light from said light sources.
A hazard marker for providing a warning light comprising a disc shaped marker having a translucent upper housing and a bottom housing, said upper housing having a depending wall, said bottom housing having an upstanding wall, said depending wall and said upstanding wall forming concentric circles in contact with each other, said concentric circles reinforcing said disc shaped housing and increasing crush resistence, a circuit board in said marker, a circular array of LEDs in said upper housing electrically connected to said circuit board, said circuit board having means for energizing each LED of said array, a latch attached to said lower housing, said latch rotatably connected to a link, and a base for supporting said disc shaped marker rotatably connected to said link.
A hazard marker kit for providing a warning light comprising a disc shaped marker having a translucent upper housing and a bottom housing, said upper housing having a depending wall, said bottom housing having an upstanding wall, said depending wall and said upstanding wall forming concentric circles in contact with each other, said concentric circles reinforcing said disc shaped housing and increasing crush resistence, a circuit board in said marker, a circular array of LEDs in said upper housing electrically connected to said circuit board, said circuit board having means for energizing each LED of said array, a latch attached to said lower housing, said latch rotatably connected to a link, and a base for supporting said disc shaped marker rotatably connected to said link, a magnet in said base for holding said marker on magnetizable surfaces, a suction cup for holding said marker on smooth finished surfaces, said base including a plurality of catches whereby said latch and said link support said marker at an angle from said base when said latch is engaged in said plurality of catches.
