Patent Application
20180308332
The embodiments herein relate generally to a device to cause flash blindness to an intruder by projecting high intensity light into intruder's eyes. Thus, a home owner can use the device to immobilize the intruder and use the device for personal safely.
A device to cause flash blindness to an intruder by projecting high intensity light into intruder's eyes is disclosed. The device includes a light blast housing enclosing a light on a front side to face a light opening, a plurality of reflectors positioned peripherally around the light, a remote receiver connected to the light on a first side, to an antenna on a second side and to a battery on a third side via a plurality of wires. The light blast housing is further attached to a bracket for mounting the device to a wall. When a home owner detects the intruder, turns on the device using a remote that is communicatively coupled to the remote receiver. Once high intensity light, emanated from the light and concentrated by the reflectors, is projected into intruder's eyes causes flash blindness and immobilizes the intruder.
The detailed description of some embodiments of the invention is made below with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein like numerals represent corresponding parts of the figures.
By way of example, and referring to
The device can be mounted at an angle to configure the device to project high intensity light into intruder's eyes. The battery is a nine volt battery. The remote can be configured to communicatively connect to a plurality of devices for synchronizing all the devices using the remote. Further, a vibration alert pad may be coupled to the device and the remote for alerting other members of the intruder.
As used in this application, the term “a” or “an” means “at least one” or “one or more.”
As used in this application, the term “about” or “approximately” refers to a range of values within plus or minus 10% of the specified number.
As used in this application, the term “substantially” means that the actual value is within about 10% of the actual desired value, particularly within about 5% of the actual desired value and especially within about 1% of the actual desired value of any variable, element or limit set forth herein.
All references throughout this application, for example patent documents including issued or granted patents or equivalents, patent application publications, and non-patent literature documents or other source material, are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entireties, as though individually incorporated by reference, to the extent each reference is at least partially not inconsistent with the disclosure in the present application (for example, a reference that is partially inconsistent is incorporated by reference except for the partially inconsistent portion of the reference).
A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
Any element in a claim that does not explicitly state “means for” performing a specified function, or “step for” performing a specified function, is not to be interpreted as a “means” or “step” clause as specified in 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶6. In particular, any use of “step of” in the claims is not intended to invoke the provision of 35 U.S.C. § 112, 116.
Persons of ordinary skill in the art may appreciate that numerous design configurations may be possible to enjoy the functional benefits of the inventive systems. Thus, given the wide variety of configurations and arrangements of embodiments of the present invention the scope of the invention is reflected by the breadth of the claims below rather than narrowed by the embodiments described above.
