Patents by Inventor David K. Brainard

David K. Brainard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9622318
    Abstract: A light assembly includes an electroluminescent cable, an elongated lens, and a substantially planar substrate. The electroluminescent cable has an outer surface extending along a longitudinal dimension of the electroluminescent cable. The elongated lens extends along the longitudinal dimension of the electroluminescent cable and encloses at least a portion of the outer surface of the electroluminescent cable. The elongated lens is adapted to refract light emitted from the electroluminescent cable. The elongated lens structure is adhered to the substantially planar substrate. In certain instances, the substrate is a reflective substrate adapted to reflect light emitted from the electroluminescent cable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2017
