Abstract

A safety synchronized illuminated system includes wearing apparels worn on a person. A plurality of light strips is secured to the wearing apparels. The wearing apparels include jacket, helmet and a pair of gloves. A power source, CPU chip for timing, sequencer for time sequential selection and turn signal box activates the plurality of light strips in four items: jacket, helmet, a pair of boots and a pair of gloves in a one-by-one time sequential manner, and synchronized rolling fashion in light patterns and following the traffic color codes via wire or wireless link. Each of items of the apparel can be also activated individually, independently and separately. When the light strips are activated by switch and a power source, the wearing apparels worn on the person is more visible to others especially at night.

Claims

1. A safety synchronized illuminated system for a wearer which comprises:

a) a wearing apparel worn on the wearer;

b) a plurality of light strips secured to said wearing apparel;

wherein a first strip on the front is identical to a second strips also on the front of the apparel; and

c) a power source, and a switch activates said plurality of light strips into blinking light in order to make the wearer be more visible to others especially at night;

d) a CPU chip with a flasher on the apparel, is utilized for timing the blinking light on and off in time intervals, and

e) a time sequencer on the apparel, can turn the blinking light in the light strips one-by-one in a time sequential manner and synchronized rolling fashion in light patterns starting from the near center of a wearing apparel to the outermost, wherein blinking light'"'"'s rate is controlled by a sequencer speed adjustment dial.

2. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein said wearing apparel comprises a jacket, a helmet, pair of boots and a pair of gloves and wherein lighting signal can be simultaneously synchronized rolling fashion in light patterns in these four apparels:

jacket, a helmet, pair of boots and a pair of gloves.

3. The system as recited in claim 2, wherein said light strips is selected from a group consisting of:

light emitting diodes, multiple strips lights, super LEDs, ultra LEDs, gas discharge lamps, neon lamps, mercury-vapor lamps, lasers, chemo luminescence, fluorescence, cathode luminescence, laser light, and visible radiation.

4. The system as recited in claim 3, wherein said light emitting diodes are embedded into fabric strips that are applied to said jacket, said helmet, said boots and said pair of gloves.

5. The system as recited in claim 4, wherein said power source further comprises:

a portable backup power supply carried within said jacket, boots, gloves and helmet.

6. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

said plurality of light strips are electrically connected to the signal turn box of a motorcycle, so that when the rider driving the motorcycle operates the brakes, the turn signals and shifts into reverse, portions of said light strips will be activated in response thereof making the driving intentions of the rider more visible.

7. The system as recited in claim 6, wherein each portion of said light strips are traffic color code such as red for braking, white for reverse and orange/yellow for left and right turn signals.

8. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

a wireless receiver carried in said jacket and for communicating wirelessly the turn signals from a signal turn box of motorcycle.

9. The system as recited in claim 8, further comprising:

the wireless communicating is selected from a group consisting of;

RF radio, microwave coupling, infrared coupling, Bluetooth, wifi, and laser communication.

10. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the lighting signal can be individually, independently and separately activated in each of these four apparels:

jacket, a helmet, a pair of boots and a pair of gloves.

11. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

An extension wire and jack carried in said apparel and for communicating the turn signals from a signal turn box of motorcycle.

12. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a third strip on the back is identical to a fourth strip also on the back of the apparel in the case the apparel is a jacket.
