| 20140293421 | THREE-SIDED REFLECTOR FOR USE ON SIGN POST - A three-sided reflected is formed to include a front and two adjacent sides that are sized to encompass a sign post. This three-sided reflector is then attached to the sign post so that the front faces in the same direction as a front of the sign post. A highly visible material having a bright or fluorescent color and optionally including retro reflectors is disposed on each of the outer surfaces of the front and the two adjacent sides of the reflector so that incident light is reflected back toward a driver of a vehicle that is approaching the front or either side of the sign post. The reflected light greatly increases the visual perception of the sign post by a driver of the vehicle so that it much less likely that the driver will strike the sign post with the vehicle. | 10-02-2014 |

| 20120105959 | Bi-directional Blind Sight Illumination and Deflector Device - An optical device that reflects back some of the same light that been projected towards the reflector with more intensity when transmitting and going through the reflector such that the remaining light is dispersed and still can been seen. The light is concentrated and projected forward by the device such that the appearance of the intensified light may act as a warning of oncoming vehicles, emergency situations, stopped vehicles and pedestrians on a hill or curve where line of sight is inhibited. The Bi-directional Blind Sight Illumination and Deflector Device is comprised of at least one reflective, dispersive and transmitting lens having a front and a rear surface, side edges and unique features; a pole for affixing and placing the main lens to the ground; and a means to secure the lens to a pole. | 05-03-2012 |
