Abstract
A strip sport light including a center strip and two arm strips with multiple electrical light sources for illumination and blinking. Each arm strip has one or more distributed electrical energy sources each enclosed in an aerodynamic housing, and multiple electrical light sources distributed along the length of the arm strip. The center strip contains an electronic printed circuit board, a three-step push button switch, and multiple electrical light sources. The strip sport light may be mounted on a bicycle helmet or worn on a user's head or waist for enhanced safety.
Claims4
A strip sport light comprising:
- a center strip body including an electronic printed circuit board, a switch, at least one light source, and two arm strip bodies, each said arm strip body including at least one electrical energy source and a plurality of light sources;
- wherein said two arm strip bodies are connected to said center strip body such that said arm strip bodies rotate relative to said center strip body through an angle of between 90 to 180 degrees;
- and
- wherein said printed circuit board electronically connects said energy sources with said switch and said at least one light source on said center strip body and said light sources on said arm strip bodies such that said switch is able to perform the following three functions:
- (a) illumination--said light sources on said center strip body are turned on;
- (b) blinking--multiple light sources on both arm strips start flashing on and off;
- (c) shut off--all said light sources are turned off.
