Removable Helmet Light System
US Patent:
6439733, Aug 27, 2002
Filed:
Apr 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/550084
Inventors:
Ernst W Fischer - Anchorage AK 99519
Stephen Karcz - Anchorage AK 99519
Stephen Karcz - Anchorage AK 99519
International Classification:
F21L 1514
US Classification:
362106, 362541, 362473, 362475, 362546, 362549
Abstract:
A light system that attaches to a helmet. The light is designed to be removable. The system has a forward head light that enables a rider to illuminate in whatever direction the riders head is looking. It has a translucent shell. In one embodiment, the shell is colored red. Light from the headlamp is allowed to leak through the rear of the shell, which gives the appearance of a taillight. In a second embodiment, the device has a forward headlamp and a second bulb that illuminates the rear shell. In a modification of this embodiment, the rear lamp has two filaments. One filament remains on all the time and acts as a taillight. The other filament is activated by the brake handle of the vehicle. In this way, it acts as a brake light, further warning other riders that the vehicle is slowing.
