Abstract:

A generally rectangular housing includes an elongated strap for attachment of the housing to the rear portion of an in-line skate. The housing supports a rearwardly directed lens and an internal battery power source for illuminating a plurality of rearwardly directed light elements. An elongated transparent tube supports a plurality of additional light elements and is operatively coupled to the power pack to provide illumination of the tube. A pair of clip fasteners are secured to the skate frame beneath the boot sole thereof to position the elongated tube in alignment with the in-line skate wheel arrangement. The transparent tube further supports a forwardly directed reflector and forwardly directed light element to provide frontal illumination ahead of the skate. Different color lenses are employed for the rearwardly directed light elements, the transparent tube, and the front light to provide directional and position information to an observer.
