  • Patent number: 10894512
    Abstract: A side-facing brake light assembly, including a left side-facing brake light incorporated into a left side view mirror and a right side-facing brake light incorporated into a right side view mirror, the left and right side-facing brake lights operable by an electrical circuit. Both the left side-facing and right side-facing brake lights are positioned and directed such that drivers and pedestrians on both the right side and the left side of the vehicle can see when the brakes of the vehicle have been applied, especially useful as the vehicle approaches an intersection. The side-facing brake light apparatus of the invention more effectively communicates the intention of the driver as he/she approaches the intersection, thereby increasing the safety of other drivers and pedestrians. The side-facing brake light apparatus of the invention helps to avoid serious collisions, property damage, and loss of life due to misunderstandings of other drivers and pedestrians.

  • Patent number: 5097954
    Abstract: An organization for display and entertainment of individuals includes a lid receiving an underlying container therewithin. A first embodiment of the invention includes a lid formed with a pre-inscribed message, such as for a particular greeting and the like, with a further space position below for a personalized signature in association with the greeting. Modifications of the invention include the greeting mounted on a bellows that is selectively expandable utilizing pneumatic pressurization of the bellows formed in a two-part structure to effect stage filling of a bellows member.
