  • Patent number: 6006357
    Abstract: A signaling glove is disclosed that includes a body portion that is worn on a user's hand and at least one reflective surface mounted on the body portion. In some embodiments, the glove further includes a light source with a light-emitting unit adapted to illuminate the reflective surface. The light-emitting unit is preferably housed within a pocket formed at least in part by the reflective surface. When the light-emitting unit is housed within the pocket, the reflective surface includes a transparent or translucent region overlying the light. The reflective surface may be adjustable positionable on the body portion of the glove to enable a user to interchange the reflective surfaces and to orient the reflective surface to best fit the user's current signaling or other needs.
