Abstract: The construction of a light mounting platform or a skeletal frame of a light bar is easily expanded volumetrically in length, width and height to accommodate the mounting of a variety of different visual and audible warning devices, illumination devices as well as a variety of auxiliary devices used on emergency vehicles, utility vehicles, as well as other types of vehicles by switching between pluralities of vertical support columns having different vertical height dimensions and switching between pluralities of bottom plates and top plates having different peripheral configurations with different length and/or width dimensions.

Abstract: A light bar for use on firefighting or other emergency vehicles includes an elongate base that provides a versatile mounting platform for primary visual and audible warning devices as well as providing a mounting platform for other types of equipment such as secondary visual and audible devices, optical devices, cameras, weather monitoring equipment, GPS devices, preemption devices, running lights and other devices that have been traditionally mounted on a firefighting or emergency vehicle roof and/or other exterior surface area of the emergency vehicle. The light bar is versatile in both allowing many different types of equipment to be selectively mounted and adjustably positioned on the base, and on pairs of support plates that are attachable to the opposite ends of the base and provide support for different combinations of signal lights and other equipment.

Abstract: An emergency vehicle light bar is provided with a flexible support that can be curved to match the curvature of the top edge of a vehicle window when installing the light bar on the vehicle, giving the light bar a low profile relative to the vehicle and giving the vehicle a stealth or “unmarked” appearance.

Abstract: A removable, reusable cover assembly for a light assembly has a light filtering cover with an interior that surrounds a lamp of the light assembly and a connector that attaches to the light assembly. The cover assembly has first and second vent holes that communicate with the interior of the cover. During energization of the lamp, the air in the interior of the cover is heated and escapes through the first vent hole. Cooling air is drawn through the second vent hole into the interior of the cover to cool the lamp.

Abstract: A signal light housing is comprised of three basic component parts; a back plate, a mounting plate and a lens cover. The back plate is provided with a substantially flat exterior surface to enable the signal light housing to be mounted flush against the exterior surface of a vehicle. The lens cover encloses an interior volume of the housing and can be removed from the housing without removing the housing from the vehicle surface. The mounting plate is removably attached to the back plate and provides a sufficient area to support a variety of different types of signal light assemblies thereon within the interior volume of the housing. The mounting plate is easily removed from the back plate to remove a defective signal light assembly from the housing, and enable its replacement with an operative signal light assembly attached on a like mounting plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flashlight for use by fire fighters and for use in other areas where it is desirable to interchangeably use a flashlight either carried in hand or hands free with a lamp portion attached to the user's clothing or helmet and the body portion separately attached elsewhere to the user's clothing. More particularly, the present invention relates to a flashlight comprising a body portion configured to contain batteries and an illuminating lamp section wherein the lamp section is separable from the body of the flashlight. The present invention permits the lamp section to be attached directly to the body of the flashlight in several different adjusted positions, or to be separated from the body of the flashlight and attached elsewhere such as clothing, helmets, belts, or other structures that may not be sufficiently stable to support the weight of the entire flashlight.

Abstract: A fire fighting tool provides a handle that is removably and adjustable attached to a pole (or similar instrument) at a convenient location along the length and about the circumference of the pole. The tool is constructed to orient the handle generally perpendicularly to the axis of the pole to which the tool is attached, and to maintain the relative orientation of the handle and the pole as forces are exerted manually on the handle and transmitted to the pole by the tool. The tool enables a user of the tool to apply a greater amount of their available strength in manipulating the tool.

Abstract: A fireman's personal hand tool is comprised of a spike member and a wrench member. Both members may be used in combination as a slide hammer with the spike member being hammered by the wrench member between objects to be pried apart. The wrench member may also be used to open or close valves and is configured to fit a variety of hydrant valve head shapes and sizes. Both the spike member and the wrench member have integral hose coupling jaws to engage and disengage hose couplings. The members are separable so that the jaws may be used independently or in combination. In addition, there are three different sizes of jaws to enable the tool to fit a greater variety of coupling sizes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flashlight for use by firefighters and for use in other specialized areas. In particular, the present invention relates to a flashlight comprising a body of substantially parallel, spaced tubular members that each contain a plurality of dry cell batteries for powering the flashlight. A lamp is connected at one end of the pair of tubular members for pivoting movement relative to the members through at least 90.degree.. A support base is connected across the opposite ends of the tubular members and is configured to support the flashlight on a surface with the pair of tubular members positioned upright and elevating the lamp above the surface. The support base is removable from the ends of the tubular members to provide access to interiors of the members for inserting or removing dry cell batteries to power the flashlight. Adapters are provided for each of the tubular members to adapt their interiors to accommodate either D-size dry cell batteries or C-size dry cell batteries.
