Motorcycle safety brake and running light for a jacket or vest

An article of traffic signaling device system, comprising:

• (a) an LED housing of rigid or flexible material of sufficient size to accommodate use by a motorcycle rider or user of non-enclosed vehicles on a jacket or other similar garment without requiring permanent alteration to said jacket,
• (b) an LED light array assembly housed in said LED housing,
• (c) a jack which is electrically connected to the existing wiring for a signaling device system of said motorcycle or non-enclosed vehicle,
• (d) a control box panel which said rider manually manipulates to change the intensity of the said LED light array assembly from normal to high intensity lighting and is electrically connected to the existing wiring for the signaling device system in said motorcycle or non-enclosed vehicles, said control panel box comprises an illuminated rocker switch assembly and an LED indicator light, wherein said illuminated rocker switch assembly comprises a normal mode for supplying normal intensity voltage to said LED light array assembly and a fog mode for supplying high intensity voltage to said LED light array assembly to achieve high intensity lighting during low visibility ambient condition,
• (e) connection means comprising a cable having a plurality of conventional insulated electrical wire leads encased for providing a continuous power supply from said jack to said LED housing without having to electrically splice said connection means thereof, and
• (f) a plurality of support members of substantially equal length, whereby said plurality of support members provides support for joining said LED housing to said jacket so that said LED light array assembly will be illuminated within said LED housing when the existing wiring for the signaling device system of said motorcycle or non-enclosed vehicle is energized thus providing high and low intensity rear lighting for the rider on the road.

A method of signaling traffic, comprising:

• (a) providing an LED housing of the type comprising a rigid or flexible body of material which is able to house an LED light array assembly to accommodate use by a motorcycle rider or user of non-enclosed vehicles on a jacket or other similar garment without requiring permanent alteration to said jacket,
• (b) providing a fastening means which the rider can attach said LED housing to the back side of said jacket so as to allow removal said LED housing thereof, easily and conveniently,
• (c) providing a control box panel which said rider manually manipulates to change the intensity of said LED light array assembly from normal intensity lighting to high intensity lighting, said control panel is electrically connected to the existing wiring for the signaling device system in said motorcycle or non-enclosed vehicles, said control panel box comprises an illuminated rocker switch assembly and an LED indicator light, wherein said illuminated rocker switch assembly comprises a normal mode for supplying normal intensity voltage to said safety brake and running light assembly and a high intensity mode for supplying high intensity voltage to said LED light array assembly to achieve high intensity lighting during low visibility ambient condition,
• (d) providing a connection means which will:
• (1) allow a continuous power supply to flow from said control box panel to said LED housing without having to electrically splice said connection means thereof, and
• (2) causing said connection means to flex in any direction without requiring the introduction of springs for a tug effect,
• whereby said LED light array assembly will be illuminated within said LED housing when the existing wiring for the signaling device system in said motorcycle or non-enclosed vehicles is energized thus providing high or low intensity lighting on the back of the rider.
