Patent number: 6012822Abstract: A light flasher for an article of apparel includes one or more lamps that produce light visible from the exterior of the apparel. A switch, which may be of the mechanical or electronic variety, causes a switch closure responsive to motion of the apparel. A circuit, attached to the switch and the light, causes the lights to illuminate in a series of random duration flashes for a predefined time interval in response to the closure of the switch.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1996Date of Patent: January 11, 2000Inventor: William J. Robinson

Patent number: 5546681Abstract: Footwear for improving the visibility of the wearer includes a processing circuit that responds to operation of switch to turn a lighting system disposed in the footwear off and on. The switch is responsive to pressure from the foot of the wearer. When a wearer raises a foot from the ground, the lighting system is activated. When the foot is returned to the ground, or at the expiration of a predetermined period of time, the lighting system is deactivated.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1993Date of Patent: August 20, 1996Assignee: L.A.
