Abstract
A pair of straps configured to resembled suspenders are fitted with lights and electrical circuits which when combined with a power pack radiate flashes of visible light. The power pack may be carried on a belt to which the straps are attached. The circuits allow all or just some of the lights to flash at one time. Reflective material occupies the areas not used by lights.
Claims15
A personal safety system for pedestrians comprising a first strap having more than one end adapted to pass over the first shoulder and be secured at the waist of the user;
- a second strap having more than one end adapted to pass over the second shoulder and be secured at the waist of the user;
- securing means attached at the end of each strap;
- one surface forming visible light reflecting means;
- means for producing light attached to and forming a part of each strap;
- a source of electrical current operatively associated with each strap, and
- electrical circuit means connected between the means for producing light and the source of electrical current, whereby the said source powers the means for producing light.

A strap for personal safety systems comprising:
- A first layer of inelastic material having defined end limits;
- A second layer of dielectric material overlying the first layer;
- A pair of flat, electrically conductive means overlying the dielectric material, and extending, at one end beyond the end limit of the strap;
- A third layer of light-reflective material overlying the second layer, forming a sandwich of material, and
- A plurality of electric luminaries connected to the conductive means and extending outwardly through the reflective material means, whereby, a source of electrical power connected to the conductive means will cause the luminaries to radiate visible light.
