    Abstract: A safety light adapted to be carried by a person comprises a battery casing. A lens casing is supported on the battery casing. A strap having two ends is slidably affixed to the battery casing for attaching said safety light to a person. A closure device is associated with a strap for securing the strap to form a band. The closure device includes a closure element having a base and two opposing side walls extending upward from two sides of the base. A lock device is rotably received between the side walls for pressing two overlapping portions of the strap against the base. In addition, the lens casing has a substantially rectangular box-like shape. The bottom of the lens casing is open to receive a light producing element. A base wall extends around the lower portion of the rectangular box. Two substantially identically shaped lens devices are affixed to the base wall and comprise the majority of the remainder of the lens casing.

  • Patent number: 4286312
    Abstract: This portable lighting apparatus which comprises a case having a parabolic reflector, a bulb whose filament is situated substantially at the focus of the parabolic reflector and a square or rectangular shaped diffusing lens fixed at the periphery of the reflector, perpendicularly to the optical axis thereof, is characterized in that the lens carries a series of rectilinear and adjacent scores on each of its internal and external faces, in that the scores of the same series are formed by concave cylindrical surfaces having transversely the same radius and are perpendicular to those of the other series and in that the radii of the scores of the internal face of the lens are slightly smaller than those of the scores of the external face of said lens, the depth and the radii of the two series of scores being chosen so that the pyramidal light beam therefrom gives constant illumination in any plane perpendicular to the optical axis.
