A vertical tier of lights are supported by brackets on a pair of elongated connector rods. Intermediate walls are located vertically between the lights and are supported by the connector rods. The lower ends of the connector rods are attached to a base plate which serves as a base support for a transparent plastic tubular body. The intermediate walls are snugly received within the body. The connector rods project upwardly through openings in a cover plate which rests on the upper end of the body. Wing nuts or the like are threaded onto the connector rods and used for securing the assembly together. The lights carry separate indicia and are separately controlled by a multi-position switch.
The invention relates to a signaling device (1), in particular for industrial purposes, composed of several, at least two optical and/or acoustic signal transmitters, that are arranged essentially linearly next to each other and/or one above the other and connected to a power source via power lines, wherein the signal transmitters respectively have a case (3) in which power consumers (4) for generating an optical and/or acoustic signal are arranged, wherein adjacently arranged cases (3) are interconnected via a coupling member (27), and wherein the power consumers (4) can be connected to each other and/or to the power lines. A generic signaling device (1) of simple structure and that can be assembled essentially without bolt-on connections, wherein preferably simplified maintenance and expansion operations can be performed, in particular in view of replacing defective lighting means (43) and/or other electrical and/or electronic components, without requiring approximately complete disassembly, is provided in that the power consumers are arranged in mountings (42) and the mountings have a conductive device (37) detachably interconnecting the power consumers (4) of adjacent cases (3).
An outdoor signaling apparatus that can be used for several various notification purposes. The outdoor signaling apparatus has a circular outer casing and a retractable rod attached to the outer casing. Within the outer casing, there are two separate compartments, each of which has a red light, blue light, and yellow light. An individual, through incorporated power means, can turn on all the lights of a particular color and use the outdoor signaling apparatus for various purposes, depending on the color of the lights being displayed.
An illuminating warning device has a transparent casing, a cap and an inner tube. The casing is provided to receive therein the inner tube that has a plurality of circuits boards securely mounted on the outer periphery thereof and having a plurality of illuminating elements electrically connected with the circuit boards. A switch mounted on the inner tube and protruded out from the periphery of the casing is able to control the illumination of the illuminating elements in the casing. Furthermore, a magnet received in the bottom of the inner tube enables the device to magnetically adhere to a metal surface as a warning signal to others.
An improved indicia display apparatus particularly useful for displaying indicia indicating the number of down to be played in football competition and locating the position of the ball along the sideline, for example, the apparatus comprising an opaque outer cylinder with a domed top and bottom, with three evenly spaced openings, said outer cylinder fitting over a translucent inner cylinder with two rows of printed indicia. Illumination within the inner cylinder is attached to a center pole that attaches to the domed top of the outer cylinder by a male and female plastic threaded screw fittings. The inner cylinder having a sleeve that slides up and down and rotates on the center pole for selecting desired indicia representing chosen down. Top dome and bottom dome of the outer cylinder are attached to outer cylinder body with metal screws for securing assembly together and removing to replace illuminating device.
A visual signaling device has one or more light source modules arranged in a stack. Each module is of "Tri-liptic" i.e. generally triangular shape, but with the triangle corners rounded. Inside the triangle, is a perfect circle, to aid in the optical dispersion of the light source. The modules are each formed by back and front moldings. The front molding defines one of the sides of the module, while the back molding defines the other two sides of the module. The light source module contains a light source (incandescent, halogen, rotating, strobe or LED) on a printed circuit board. This module also contains the electronics, which operate the light source, and can cause it to flash, be illuminated constantly or operate a rotating reflector around a stationery bulb. A conduit, which is a strip of printed circuit board with connectors at its opposite ends, extends between the top and bottom of each module of the stack. The board containing the light source is inserted via guides into another connector which is attached to the conduit. The light source module may readily be removed for purposes of changing bulbs, which burn out, or to exchange light sources of different type, for example a rotating reflector source for a stationery bulb source. The back molding is closed by the front molding to form a sealed enclosure for the light source module. Modules may be inter-connected into a stack by connection of the top and bottoms of the back moldings of adjacent modules in the stack by means of interlocking projection and slots. A cover and a base may be connected to the topmost and lowermost modules of the stack. The base may contain an audible warning source. The connection of the modules into the stack does not require separate rods or screws which extend through the entire stack.
