Publication number: 20130242593Abstract: A selective light assembly for a sighting device associated with an archer bow or the like has a plurality of light collectors, such as optical fibers, that serve as sight points. An artificial light source is adapted for projecting radiant energy in a direction toward the light collectors and a base member is operatively associated with the light source. The base member has at least one window adapted for alignment with at least one of the light collectors. At least one of the light source and base member is adjustable between first and second positions, such that the radiant energy projects through the base member and onto first and second light collectors for selectively illuminating a sight dot associated with one of the light collectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2012Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: TRUGLO, INC.Inventors: Paul LoRocco, John Estridge, Damon Lamont Coalson

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

Patent number: 8506111Abstract: An illumination device with an integrated adjustable articulating clamp that pivots about a hinge on the opposite end of the device. The clamp is used for the purpose of affixing the illumination device to stationary objects to allow a user to perform actions using both hands without having the hold onto the illuminating device. The clamp folds into a slot in the housing of the illumination device when not in use and allows the user to wield the illuminating device like a regular flashlight. Battery compartments are located on both sides of the slot inside the housing of the illuminating device.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Inventor: Waihiem R Woods
