Publication number: 20070217187Abstract: Our invention is simply putting a fixed light source unit at the point-of-need. In this case, the point-of-need is a portable ice chest/cooler. This invention allows the person to be able to look for a wanted item in the ice chest/cooler without having to track down a portable light source (flashlight, headlights, torch, etc.) first. The hard bodied units will have a manual override switch on the outside that will allow for the “airing-out” of the unit when necessary. A battery compartment inside one of the walls of the hard bodied units will have a removable door for easy access when it is time for battery replacement. On soft-sided coolers the need for a manual override will not be necessary because each of these will have a manual “click-on” switch. A Velcro or zippered battery compartment will house the batteries. These compartments will be stitched around or fused around so the battery and light units will be stable.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2006Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventors: Linda Blakely, John Blakely

Publication number: 20070217188Abstract: LED lamp has LEDs aimed rearwards with either a concave mirror to the rear of each LED, or one concave mirror to the rear of two or more LEDs, collecting the light from the LEDs to form a forward projecting beam. LEDs may be high power types that require heatsinking. LED lamp may have a lens forward of each LED to collimate the radiation produced by the LEDs into a beam, where at least one lens has at least one aspheric curved surface. LED lamp may have a transparent reflective optic to collimate the radiation produced by each LED into a beam. For an inspection lamp, the LEDs typically have a peak wavelength of 395 to 415 nanometers for seeing the area being irradiated but not so visible as to overwhelm fluorescence of fluorescent materials to be detected. Other wavelengths may be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2007Publication date: September 20, 2007Applicant: BRASSCORP LIMITEDInventors: Donald Klipstein, Jack Brass

Publication number: 20070217189Abstract: An illumination device comprising an elongate rod (10) or strip of translucent material located within a tube (11) to define a gas space (12) therebetween, the rod having a disrupted surface by way of undulation (13) or striation (17), and a light source located at one or both ends of the device to cause light travelling along the rod to exit traversely to its axis. Primary diffusion occurs within the rod by total internal reflection. Secondary diffusion occurs within the gas space, and a substantially uniform light output is generated by the surrounding tube. For longer lengths of rod the striation may be increased within a central region (21, 22) thus to ensure uniformity of light output throughout the length. If required, a beam of light may be generated by providing a reflector (15, 16) within the gas space (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2004Publication date: September 20, 2007Inventor: Morton Graham
