20100238682 | HeadLyte safety device - The “HeadLyte” Safety Device is intended to be attached or embedded within a helmet worn by a bicyclist, or, worn around the head of a walker or jogger. The “HeadLyte” is comprised of a band that is populated with light emitting devices providing 360 degrees of illumination. The purpose of this illumination is to alert other individuals and/or vehicles as to the presence and direction of travel of the person wearing the “HeadLyte”, The light emitting devices are connected to a power source and a microcontroller that enables them to flash in a variety of patterns. The light emitting devices may also utilize color to indicate direction of color. The increased visibility provided by the light emitting devices, combined with the location of the “HeadLyte” as it is worn at the highest possible point on the walker, jogger or bicyclist will further enhance the visibility of the wearer to others. | 09-23-2010 |
