Abstract

An illuminated cap, visor, beanie, headband, helmet or similar headwear having an illumination system that is switch activated. The illumination system has one or more light sources that interact and / or interface with a light transmitting medium, such as a polymer lens, to generate illumination. The light source may be activated by a switch, such as a momentary pressure switch, a voice activated circuit, or the like. The switch may also be employed to switch the operation of the light source among various modes, such as a continuous light mode, a flashing mode, or an off mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention relates generally to illuminated headgear. More particularly, the field of the invention relates to headgear that includes one or more light sources that interact and / or engage with one or more light transmissive media to illuminate one or more areas in the vicinity of the headgear. Background technique [0002] Hope to see people who participate in activities under various conditions. For example, in low light or dark conditions, people outdoors are often difficult to be found, resulting in dangerous situations such as traffic accidents. Road workers, police officers, firefighters, exercise runners, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and military personnel can be injured or killed if they are not seen or detected. Of course this is especially possible in low-light situations or at night, and even more so in bad weather conditions, such as storms and the like. Similarly, ushers for indoor and outdoor meetings often need to be visi...
