Illuminated vest

摘要

An illuminated vest comprises an enclosure including a light-emitting diode and control electronics that control the light emitting diode. Coupled to the enclosure is a belt made of passive material. A limb loop is created by an optical fiber structure that includes a first end and a second end. The light-emitting diode is optically coupled to the first end of the fiber optic structure. The optical fiber structure is also independent of passive material, such that the optical fiber structure forms a structure for the vest.

1. A device comprising:
an enclosure including:
an internal clip;a curved channel;a light-emitting diode; andcontrol electronics that control the light emitting diode; a belt physically coupled to the enclosure, the belt comprising passive material; and an optical fiber structure, independent of passive material, formed to create a limb loop; wherein:
the optical fiber structure includes a first end and a second end;the first end of the optical fiber structure physically couples to the enclosure via the internal clip;the first end of the optical fiber structure runs through the curved channel to relieve strain on the optical fiber structure at the internal clip; andthe light-emitting diode is optically coupled to the first end of the optical fiber structure.
