141 Vehicular lighting system US11405682 2006-04-17 US07537362B2 2009-05-26 Kazumitsu Kushida; Yoshiyuki Matsumoto; Yutaka Murata
A vehicular lighting system that enhances motorcycle visibility is provided. Vehicle front headlights, arranged so as to be laterally symmetrical, are formed in a shape of eyes capable of evoking a face. A headlight includes a circular main light forming a pupil portion, an annular ring forming an iris portion, plates each forming a sclera portion (white of eye), an upper frame forming the contour of an upper eyelid portion, and a lower frame forming the contour of a lower eyelid portion. When the main light and the plates are made to emit light, and the ring is non-light emitting, the pupil portion and the sclera portion are clearly discriminated from each other, thus enabling recognition as “eyes” not only in the daytime but also in the nighttime. The light emitting portions may be set as the main light, the upper frame and the lower frame, and the like.

152 Signaling safety system US11229967 2005-09-19 US20070063831A1 2007-03-22 Barry Perkins; Joseph Cordina
The present invention is a signaling system for a motorcycle or bicycle providing a light indication to other motorists. An indication mechanism is attached to a garment of the rider. The indication mechanism has at least two banks of LEDs arrays and a wireless radio receiver. A signal interface is linked to the wiring system of the motorcycle light system. The signal interface intercepts signals transmitted on the wiring system of the motorcycle light system. The system also includes a wireless radio transmitter in communication with the signal interface. When the signal interface detects a signal sent through the wiring system of the motorcycle, the signal interface sends a signal via the transmitter to the receiver of the indication mechanism. The indication mechanism then illuminates the appropriate bank of LED arrays to provide a light indication to warn other motorists. In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the indication mechanism may be worn by a cyclist. The signal interface may communicate with a sensing device which receives signals from a braking mechanism of the bicycle. When the braking mechanism is actuated, the sensing device senses the braking action and sends a signal via the transmitter to the receiver of the indication mechanism, which in turn illuminates the LED arrays. Alternately, rather than utilizing a signal interface, the indication mechanism may include an accelerometer to detect deceleration of the bicycle.

160 Mirror mounted turn signal light US10256310 2002-09-27 US20030179087A1 2003-09-25 Alwin J. Stahel
A mirror mounted turn signal for a vehicle having an exterior mirror has a light support housing that is attached to an outer side edge of the mirror. The light support housing mounts a LED strip of lights along an outer side of the support housing. The lights are positioned to direct light rearwardly and along the outer side of a housing wall. The housing wall extends rearwardly beyond the lights and is formed to provide an opaque shield to prevent light from shining in a selected direction. In the form shown the turn signal is on a motorcycle mirror and the eyes of a rider of the motorcycle are shielded from the flashing turn signal light. Super bright LEDs that are highly visible are used. Mounting the turn signal on the rear view mirror places the lights at a level so they are easily seen by drivers of vehicles along side and to the rear of the motorcycle.
