Patent number: 10107465Abstract: A flagpole finial assembly is provided for lighting of a flag suspended from the flagpole. The flagpole finial assembly has cover final half that is supported on a base finial half. The base finial half has a base finial half inner surface and an opposed base finial half outer surface. The base finial half is formed with a LED support wall or a plurality of LED support walls that extend into the base finial half and that define LED recesses. Each LED support wall defines a light opening into which a LED is fitted such the LED extends from the base finial half and is disposed in the LED recess. The LEDs are wired to a power cord that extends through the flagpole and exits the flagpole. The power cord is powered via a power adapter or a solar panel wired to a rechargeable battery pack.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Inventor: Gary L. Toner

Patent number: 10024506Abstract: An illumination device having a pole mount, a light support that extends from the pole mount, a lighting unit is connected to the pole mount, and a solar panel assembly is mounted to the lighting unit. In another embodiment an illumination apparatus is provided having a pole mount and a lighting assembly, and the pole mount has a first clamp half and a second clamp half. In another preferred embodiment there is flexible lighting assembly comprising a mount that is connected to a slider bar that supports a slider. A light support arm is supported on the slider and the light support arm connects to a central support member. A flexible member extends from the central support member to a telescopic lighting assembly having a light-generating device. A solar unit is connected to the slider bar and is wired to and powers the light-generating device.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Inventor: Gary L. Toner

Patent number: 9863592Abstract: A lighting unit is provided that has a housing with a lighting portion and a solar panel portion. Solar panels are mounted on the solar panel portion and the energy gathered by the solar panels is stored in a rechargeable battery. The lighting portion has a conical shaped wall that meets with a circular shaped wall. Each of the conical shaped wall and circular shaped wall defines light recesses defined by light recess walls, and an LED is disposed in each recess. The LEDs are powered by the rechargeable battery and are capable of illuminating a flag whether or not there is a breeze or wind. The circular shaped wall defines a wall opening and the solar panel portion has pole extension that is fitted in the wall opening.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Inventor: Gary L.

Patent number: 9677728Abstract: An illumination device having a pole mount, a light support that extends from the pole mount, a lighting unit is connected to the pole mount, and a solar panel assembly is mounted to the lighting unit. In another embodiment an illumination apparatus is provided having a pole mount and a lighting assembly, and the pole mount has hinged first clamp half and second clamp halves. When in the closed clamp position the pole mount clamp defines a pole opening. A first light support extends from the first clamp half and a light emitting assembly is supported by the first light support. In another preferred embodiment there is a band illumination device that is secured to a pole with a band, and in another preferred embodiment there is and adjustable band illumination assembly secured to a pole with bands.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Inventor: Gary L.

Patent number: 9523484Abstract: An illumination device having a pole mount, a light support that extends from the pole mount, a lighting unit is connected to the pole mount, and a solar panel assembly is mounted to the lighting unit. The pole mount is adapted to be fitted to poles having different diameters. In another embodiment an illumination apparatus is provided having a pole mount and a lighting assembly, and the pole mount has a first clamp half and a second clamp half. A hinge joins the first half and the second clamp half together and the first clamp half and the second clamp half are movable from an open clamp position to a closed clamp position. When in the closed clamp position the pole mount clamp defines a pole opening. A first light support extends from the first clamp half and a light emitting assembly is supported by the first light support.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Inventor: Gary L.
