Armband light

Abstract

An armband light that includes an armband light section with a flat, flexible light and a power source forming one end of an armband. The flat, flexible light is wrapable about a user's arm or other limb. An armband spring section includes a planar wrap spring and forms another end of the armband. A fastener fastens the armband light section and the armband spring section together to secure the armband light to a user's arm.

1 . An armband light, comprising: 
 an armband light section with a flat, flexible light and a power source forming one end of an armband, the flat, flexible light being wrapable about a user's arm or other limb;    an armband spring section with a planar wrap spring forming another end of the armband to engage the user's arm or other limb under compression; and    a fastener for fastening the armband light section and the armband spring section together.    
   
   
       2 . The armband light of  claim 1  in which the flat, flexible light is an electroluminescent light panel.  
   
   
       3 . The armband light of  claim 1  in which the planar wrap spring is a snap-wrap spring.  
   
   
       4 . The armband light of  claim 1  in which the planar wrap spring forms only a partly open loop.  
   
   
       5 . The armband light of  claim 1  further comprising a frame that covers and supports the periphery of the flat, flexible light, the frame including on its surface a reflective material to reflect light.  
   
   
       6 . The armband light of  claim 1  further comprising a resilient section attached between the armband light section and the armband spring section.  
   
   
       7 . An armband light, comprising: 
 an armband light section with an electroluminescent light panel and a power source forming one end of an armband, the electroluminescent light panel being wrapable about a user's arm or other limb;    an armband spring section with a planar snap-wrap spring forming another end of the armband; and    a fastener for fastening the armband light section and the armband spring section together.    
   
   
       8 . The armband light of  claim 7  further comprising a resilient section attached between the armband light section and the armband spring section.  
   
   
       9 . The armband light of  claim 7  further comprising a frame that covers and supports the periphery of the flat, flexible light, the frame including on its surface a reflective material to reflect light.
