Abstract
A disguised emergency light adapted to appear of a predetermined color when turned on and to appear other than the predetermined color when turned off. The light includes a light source substantially surrounded by surrounding means which includes color means of a predetermined color for imparting light of the predetermined color to light transmitted outwardly therethrough from the source, and disguise means closely adjacent the color means for outwardly transmitting light of the predetermined color therethrough when the light is turned on while blocking at least a substantial portion of the external light rays directed toward the color means from being imparted with the predetermined color when the light is turned off.
Claims25
A light adapted to appear of a predetermined color when turned on and to appear other than said predetermined color when turned off comprising;
- a light source, surrounding means closely surrounding said light source and including a peripheral wall and an end wall positioned in the path of light rays transmitted outwardly from said light source, said surrounding means including light transmitting color means of a predetermined color for imparting said predetermined color to light transmitted outwardly therethrough from said light source when said light source is turned on, and said surrounding means including disguise means surrounding said color means for outwardly transmitting light of said predetermined color therethrough when said light source is turned on and for blocking at least a substantial portion of external light rays directed toward said color means from being imparted with said predetermined color when said light source is turned off.
A light adapted to appear of a predetermined color when turned on and to appear other than said predetermined color when turned off comprising;
- a housing including a dished reflector having a base, said housing including a light transmitting lens opposite from said base in spaced relationship thereto, said reflector having a side wall extending from said base toward said lens, a light source mounted in said housing adjacent said base, surrounding means closely surrounding said light source and including a peripheral wall positioned between said light source and said reflector side wall and an end wall positioned between said light source and said lens, said surrounding means including light transmitting color means of a predetermined color for imparting said predetermined color to light transmitted outwardly therethrough from said light source when said light source is turned on, and said surrounding means including disguise means closely adjacent said color means for outwardly transmitting light of said predetermined color therethrough when said light source is turned on and for blocking at least a substantial portion of external light rays entering said housing through said lens and directed toward said color means from being imparted with said predetermined color when said light source is turned off.
A light which appears of a predetermined color when turned on and appears other than said predetermined color when turned off comprising;
- a light source mounted in a housing having a light transmitting lens through which light is outwardly transmitted from said housing when said light source is turned on and through which the interior of said housing is visible from outside thereof when said light source is turned off, light transmitting color means of a predetermined color positioned within said housing in spaced relationship to said lens and closely adjacent said light source for imparting light transmitted outwardly therethrough from said light source with said predetermined color, and disguise means positioned within said housing closely adjacent said color means for transmitting light of said predetermined color outwardly therethrough and for blocking a substantial portion of external light rays entering said housing through said lens from being imparted with said predetermined color by said color means.
A light adapted to appear of a predetermined color when turned on and to appear other than said predetermined color when turned off comprising:
- a light source mounted in a housing having a light transmitting lens through which light is outwardly transmitted from said housing when said light source is turned on and through which the interior of said housing is visible from outside thereof when said light source is turned off, said light source being mounted adjacent said lens;
- light transmitting color means of a predetermined color positioned closely adjacent said light source for imparting light transmitted outwardly therethrough from said light source with said predetermined color;
- disguise means positioned closely adjacent said color means for transmitting light of said predetermined color outwardly therethrough and for blocking a substantial portion of external light rays entering said housing through said lens from being imparted with said predetermined color by said color means;
- and, a dished reflector having a base and a side wall extending outwardly from said base toward said lens, said color means and disguise means being mounted closely adjacent said reflector base so that a substantial portion of at least said reflector side wall is visible through said lens from outside of said housing.
