Publication number: 20040218381Abstract: A safety device includes a base portion and a body portion. The body includes a power source and has an opening at a first end thereof. The opening in the body is configured to receive the end of the base such that the base carries the body thereon. A light is disposed on the body and is configured to receive power from the power source. The body with the lights disposed thereon may be used to enhance the effectiveness of the base as a safety device. The lights may be particularly effective as a warning mechanism in low light conditions or when the color of the base tends to blend in to the surrounding environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2003Publication date: November 4, 2004Inventors: Charlie Sawyer, Isaac D.
