Abstract
A strip sport light including a central body and two side strips with multiple electrical light sources for illumination and blinking. Each side 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 side strip. The central body 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 safety strip sport light comprising:
- an elongated housing formed from a single piece of flexible material that comprises a central body, a first side strip body, and a second side strip body;
- said central body comprises an electrical control switch, at least one light source, and an electronic printed circuit board, and
- said first side strip comprises a first end portion of said elongated body housing and said second side strip comprises a second end portion of said elongated body housing, each said side strip includes at least one electrical energy source, at least one light source, and an element of a fastening means;
- and wherein
- said printed circuit board electrically connects said energy sources with said electrical control switch and said light sources on said central body and said side strip bodies such that said electrical control switch performs the following three functions:
- (a) illumination--at least one of said light sources is turned on;
- (b) blinking--multiple light sources flash on and off;
- (C) shut off--all said light sources are turned off;
- said side strips each contain an element of a hook-and-loop fastener, such that said side strips are detachably connected to each other, thereby facilitating the attachment of said strip sport light onto an object chosen by a user;
- and wherein
- said electrical control switch is electrically connected to said light sources, said switch triggering an illuminating function and a blinking function wherein at least one of said light sources blinks on and off while said blinking function is activated.
