DEPLOYABLE, MULTI-SIDED ILLUMINATION DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS OF USE
First Claim
1. An illumination device, comprising:
- a body having twelve sides, the body being formed by a first body portion including six sides of the twelve sides, and a second body portion including six sides of the twelve sides, the first body portion and the second body portion being coupled to one another at a first interface and at a second interface disposed radially inward of the first interface, wherein the first interface is positioned in a plurality of planes, and wherein the second interface is positioned in a single plane, wherein at least a portion of each of the twelve sides includes a transparent window;
a resilient cover disposed around the body, the resilient cover having twelve sides, wherein each of the twelve sides of the resilient cover extend over a respective side of the body, wherein each of the twelve sides of the resilient cover includes an opening positioned over one of the transparent windows of the body;
a plurality of illumination sources, each of the plurality of illumination sources being positioned on an interior side of a transparent window of the body;
a power source configured to deliver power to each of the plurality of illumination sources;
a controller coupled to the power source and to the plurality of illumination sources;
a charging port disposed in one of the twelve sides of the body, the charging port being operatively coupled to both the power source and the controller;
an activation element that is insertable into the charging port, wherein the controller is configured to;
maintain the plurality of illumination sources in an off state when the activation element is positioned inside of the charging port; and
sense a removal of the activation element from the charging port;
maintain the plurality of illumination sources in the off state for a delay of at least two seconds after the removal of the activation element from the charging port; and
activate plurality of illumination sources after the delay.
