  • Patent number: 12571532
    Abstract: A wearable law enforcement patrol light and signal device including a housing to be worn by a law enforcement patrol officer on a bulletproof vest or on an arm. A high intensity light source is mounted in a front plate of the housing, the high intensity light source electrically connected to a source of electric power in the housing. A switch activates and deactivates the high intensity light source, or the high intensity light source may automatically deactivate. The high intensity light source emits an alternating burst of light of at least five thousand lumens outward when the high intensity light source is activated. The housing of the device also supports a plurality of warning lights, identification badging, a communication system, and other features in a single housing that a patrol officer would normally wear as independent elements.

  • Patent number: 11320137
    Abstract: A wearable, torso-worn, hands free multi-illumination system having a fabric harness worn over the shoulders and adjacent the chest and back of a user. The fabric harness has an adjustable aperture to receive the head of the user, and a fastener along the rim of the aperture, where the fastener adjusts the size of the aperture. The fabric harness includes a front panel and a rear panel, with an ambient light and a light sensor mounted on the front panel. An electronic control system is mounted on the fabric harness, including a control board, LEDs, and light sensor. The ambient light and the light sensor are electrically connected to the control board. Switches are mounted to the front panel, and are electrically connected to the control board. An electric power source is removably mounted on the rear panel, and the power source is electrically connected to the control board.
