Abstract

The current invention disclosure a head light kits for footwear which may consist of a Plurality of super compact LED(s) installed on a flexible printing circuit board (hereafter as FPC) as a light means incorporated with sealing material and procedure to attached to the head portion of footwear. The said light means may be an electro-luminescent element (hereafter as EL). The light means connected with a switch to trigger the circuit to the power source which has batteries which may connected by any combination in-series and in-parallels to get different voltage and amperage to drive the different color LEDs or EL to get the best light effects and functions which create by the said circuit with desired electric components with predetermined function and time period.

Claims

1. A LED head light kits for footwear incorporated:

At least one substrate which is flexible material to offer a surface to install the said dice or chip type LED(s) on the surface with pre-designed conductive traces to deliver the electric signals to each of said LED for desired light functions and time period under pre-determined features.

At least one of circuit means to supply electric signals to LED(s) for desired functions and light effects and duration which triggered by the press sensitive switch by certain weight applied top of the said switch.

At least one of sealing material to seal the said substrate within, the said material may selected from group combination of plastic, chemical compound, textile, wood, metal in geometric shape incorporating with conventional sealing procedure may including of stitch, hot sealing, solvent, glue, double side tape, hook and loop, staple, rivet, melt, ultrasonic to allow the said substrate with LED(s) 1 be protected.

At least one of the conductive means to delivery the electric signals from the power source to LED(s).

At least one of power sources to offer the power to circuit means to make the circuit can be operated as desired functions incorporated the desired integrated circuit and batteries.

At least one fix means to install the said light kits on any location of footwear.

The improvement;

The batteries can be connected by group combination selected from in-series, in-parallel to allow circuit can drive the different color LED or LED(s).

Further more, the light desired function(s) may controlled by IC and the said IC is start to work while the weight is applied to the said press sensitive switch and the desired function(s) will be stop as predetermined time period while the weight is away from the said switch. The desired functions may selected from group combination of chasing, sequential, random flashing, all flashing, fade in and out, pair flashing and marketing conventional light function(s).

2. The LED head light kits for footwear as claimed (1), the footwear means may is any kind of the footwear for people to wear.

3. The LED head light kits for footwear as claimed (1), the LED or LED(s) means may selected from group of number, shape, illumination, dimension, colors, size, sealing, connection means with conductive means for the desired the said of light means.

4. The LED head light kits for footwear as claimed (1), the Integrated Circuit (IC) can have any combination of conventional functions incorporated the press sensitive switch to become a trigger means to drive the circuit for light function(s).

5. The LED head light kits for footwear as claimed (1), the attached means may selected from the group combination of glue, solvent, chemicals, hot sealing, ultrasonic sealing, double side, tape to seal the sealing material.

6. The LED head light kits for footwear as claimed (1), the basic substrate for intall of the tiny LEDs with all electric traces the width will less than the 15 mm.

7. The LED head light kits for footwear as claimed (1), the said IC or electric compoment(s) may install on the basic substrate.

8. The LED head light kis for footwear as claimed (1), the said IC incorporating a time counting device so can stop the circuit'"'"'s power source if the light duration time is over pre-determined time period

9. The LED head light kits for footwear incorporated:

Plurality of LEDs are fixed on conductive means to connected with at least one switch and circuit means and power source, and install the said conductive means on the head portion of the said footwear for illumination.

10. The head Light kits for footwear incorporated:

At one light means are flexible and bendable to connected with at least one of switch means and circuit means and power source, and install the said flexible light means on the head portion of the said footwear for illumination.
