Abstract: An exit illumination assembly for a motor vehicle includes an occupant compartment, at least one door having a door handle, and a restraint system having a restraint release mechanism. The exit illumination assembly includes a control unit for sensing a condition suitable for exiting the occupant compartment of the motor vehicle. The exit illumination assembly also includes an illuminator electrically connected to the control unit. The illuminator illuminates either the door handle or the restraint release mechanism when the control unit senses the condition suitable for exiting the occupant compartment.

Abstract: An illuminated door handle assembly includes a door handle seamed to a door at a defined location and moveable between latching and unlatching positions, a signal generator for transforming energy into a signal and an energy receiver in communication with the signal generator for receiving the signal therefrom and conducting the signal to the door handle such that the signal is emitted from the door handle to indicate the location thereof.

Abstract: An illuminated boat hook structure for performance of boat docking and launching operations, particularly at night or other times of low visibility, is disclosed. The structure of this invention comprises a tubular telescoping shaft member supporting therewithin a power source, parabolic reflector and bulb, and associated wiring connected to a manual switch mounted on the shaft member. A significant feature of the invention is the provision at the forward end of the tubular shaft member of a shaped essentially transparent plastic hook member which projects an unidirectional diffused beam of light toward objects which are to be sighted during zero or low visibility boat docking and launching operations. The particular shape of the hook member facilitates performance of these operations.
