  • Patent number: 8605552
    Abstract: The autonomous waterproof electronic signaling device disclosed comprises an activator; an audible signal emitter and a visual signal emitter, the audible signal emitter to emit a primary signal upon activation of the activator, the audible signal emitter comprising one or more of the following: a hydrophone, a siren, a speaker, or a transducer; and a head assembly, the head assembly positioned so as to alter at least a portion of the primary signal producing a notification signal. The visual signal emitter comprises at least one of incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent bulbs, strobe bulbs, high intensity discharge (HID) bulbs, and light emitting diodes (LED) bulbs. The audible signal emitter and a visual signal emitter are operative singly or in combination, continuously or intermittently.

  • Patent number: 7466629
    Abstract: A Manually Agitated Underwater Signaling Device used for SCUBA divers, snorkelers and other water-sport enthusiasts. The Manually Agitated Underwater Signaling Device includes a water tight right circular cylindrical body containing one or more rigid spheres inside, an integrated slot for the connection of a lanyard to one end of the right circular cylindrical body and a spherical base integrated into the other end of the right circular cylindrical body. The right circular cylindrical body is comprised of two body halves, a right half and a left half. The right half includes a tongue ridge with an energy director around the perimeter forming a mating surface. The left half includes a recessed groove around its perimeter forming a mating surface that intersects with the right half when aligned together. The Manually Agitated Underwater Signaling Device includes an exterior surface texture to improve the grip.
