  • Patent number: 12103499
    Abstract: A protective compartment for off-road vehicles is presented. The protective compartment for off-road vehicles secures to any off-road vehicle, providing a means to carry loose articles during an off-road drive that would normally be lost or damaged during transit. The protective compartment for off-road vehicles contains a case body, a case lid, and at least one fastening element. The case body contains a mount receiver and a storage cavity. The case lid contains at least one fastening slot. The case lid is connected adjacent to the case body through the at least one fastening element.

  • Patent number: 11666045
    Abstract: The submersible light apparatus is a device that can provide a wireless and/or corded portable battery-operated underwater light that can provide light in multiple directions as well as attract marine life simultaneously. To that end, the device includes a center structure that houses associated electric circuitry that can power all the light sources of the device. Further, the device includes a chum (fish feed) housing, that is mounted around the center housing, and can disperse fish feed when submersed in water. The device may further include a retrieving line and a bridle that enables a user to pull the light from under water or from farther distances. Furthermore, the device includes a charging port and a switch that enables to turn the lights on/off or dim the lights. Additionally, the device includes a spherical transparent cover that provides a convenient and aesthetically pleasing protective covering.

  • Publication number: 20130223059
    Abstract: An ultra-high efficiency underwater light for attracting marine life having radially arranged facets supporting light emitting diodes (LEDs) that project a large perimeter of light underwater. A water cooling system allows the high powered LEDs to operate at sustained peak levels without sacrificing service life. A light bifurcating structure causes a central portion of water to illuminate in a different color than the color of the outer perimeter portion of water. A tire valve stem located on the underwater light is used to remove moisture bearing air and to also pressurize the light with a non-corrosive gas. Antifouling circuitry automatically cycles the underwater light on and off multiple times during periods of non-use. Smart circuitry communicates through a series of blinks and accepts commands from a user through a power cord.

  • Patent number: 8444283
    Abstract: An underwater dock light having an internal water cooling system formed from primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary mounting surfaces forming a chamber. Each of the mounting surfaces are each in thermal communication with a light emitting unit generating heat. LED circuit boards are mounted at an angle to produce a large diameter of light in the surrounding water. A light bifurcating structure causes a central portion of light to be a different color than the perimeter. The transparent lens has an opening and a latching structure configured to connect the transparent lens to the end of the transparent cover. A tire valve stem is located on the underwater light and is capable of removing or filling the underwater light with a gas. Antifouling circuitry automatically cycles the underwater light on and off multiple times during periods of non-use. Smart circuitry communicates and accepts commands by a user.
