Abstract: A car locator is provided having a case for placing on a car dashboard, having openings through which electroluminescent tape mounted to a circuit board within the case are exposed such that, when illuminated, a person will be able to quickly locate his or her car in a crowded parking lot. The car locator may be powered by a portable battery or connected to the car battery via the cigarette lighter. The car locator has a switch which allows a user to illuminate the electroluminescent tape in a variety of ways.

Abstract: A car locator comprising a base for attaching the locator to a car. A cantilevered support bar is pivotally connected with the base to permit pivotal movement and positioning of the bar relative to the base. The support bar is illuminated by a series of LEDS mounted on the support bar and connected to a power source and an optional switch via electrical conductors. The power source may include batteries mounted to or contained within the base. In addition, the switch may be mounted directly on the base.

Abstract: A car locator is provided comprising a base for holding one or more LED light bars in position to mark the location of a vehicle. Each light bar includes a series of LEDS connected to a power source. The power source may include batteries mounted to or contained within the base. In addition, a selector switch may be mounted directly on the base to effect illumination of a selected combination of light bars. To facilitate replacement or substitution of different colored light bars, each light bar includes an end plug for plugging in and out of respective receptacles on the base.

Abstract: A car locator is provided having a base for attaching the locator to a car. A cantilevered support rod is pivotally connected with the base to permit pivotal movement and positioning of the rod relative to the base. A hollow marking sleeve having an outer transparent tube and an inner fluorescent liner disposed within the tube slidably mounts onto the support rod for marking the car. The sleeve engages the support rod with sufficient contact force to retain the sleeve in position on the support rod. The sleeve is slidably removable from the support rod so that the sleeve may be pulled from the support rod.
