Patent number: 8529087Abstract: A multipurpose lighting device comprises a module including a first light source for a flashlight function and a second light source for a lantern or omni-directional glow stick function. A button on the module is operative to selectively alternating between the first and second light sources. An elongate housing is coupled to the second light source so that the second light source illuminates along the length of the housing. Finally, a whistle portion is formed on one end of the elongate housing so that the multipurpose device includes flashlight, glow stick, and whistle functions.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Square 1 BankInventor: Dennis Bertken

Publication number: 20130229791Abstract: A bidirectional lighting device for a rim includes a casing, a light-emitting module, a reflecting element, and a power supply unit. The casing includes a lower base and an upper cover both provided with a transparent region respectively. The light-emitting module is received in the casing and has light-emitting diodes arranged in a strip. The reflecting element is mounted in the casing to correspond to the transparent regions. The reflecting element has a first reflecting surface and a second reflecting surface both located on one side of the light-emitting diodes. The light generated by the light-emitting diodes is reflected by the first and second reflecting surfaces to exit the transparent regions. The power supply unit is received in the casing to be electrically connected with the light-emitting module. Thus, the light of the light-emitting diodes can be emitted out of the casing in two directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2012Publication date: September 5, 2013Inventors: Rocky Yi-Ping LIN, Kun-Hsiang Wang

Patent number: 8523380Abstract: An illuminated attachment is provided for enhancing safety by increasing visibility of a screen or window to prevent accidental contact with the screen or window. The attachment includes a housing, a power source positioned in the housing, a frame coupled to the housing, and a plurality of lights coupled to the frame. The plurality of lights is operationally coupled to the power source. A switch assembly is operationally coupled between the power source and the plurality of lights for selectively illuminating the plurality of lights. An attachment member such as a first magnet is coupled to the housing. Thus, the housing is designed for coupling to a planar material such as screen or window.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Inventors: Barbara C. Grant, Sarah A. Jenko

Publication number: 20130215324Abstract: A target lighting apparatus having a tray seating one or more light bulbs connected to a deflector, which is attached to one or more shock-absorbing arms, such that the deflector blocks the tray from any projectiles and the shock-absorbing arms absorb the impact of projectiles that come in contact with the deflector. In some embodiments, the tray, the one or more light bulbs, the deflector and the one or more shock-absorbing arms form a second frame which is adjustably connected to a base frame such that the second frame can slide from the back of the base frame to the front of the base frame and can rotate about an axis along the front of the base frame from a closed position to an open position. The one or more light bulbs are powered by a battery pack. The battery pack may be solar charged by solar panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2013Publication date: August 22, 2013Inventor: Jon Manning
