Abstract: A signaling buoy and method suitable for emitting a light signal over long distances in marine environments. The buoy includes a watertight enclosure having a compartment, an aperture at an upper end of the enclosure for emitting a laser light beam therethrough, a laser light source disposed within the enclosure for generating the light beam, and a battery within the enclosure for powering the light source. Electrical contacts are disposed on an exterior of the enclosure and are adapted to complete an electrical circuit when an electrical short exists therebetween to conduct electrical power from the battery to the laser light source. The buoy is configured to float upright in water with the electrical contacts submersed in the water.

Abstract: A safety device for attachment to a flotation device is disclosed comprising a light source, a housing, an actuator mounted within the housing and slideable between a first position wherein the light source is not illuminated and a second position wherein the light source is illuminated. The actuator further comprises a raised boss engageable from outside of the housing, a lanyard at least a portion of which is outside of the housing and a water activated switch wherein when the device is submerged in water, the water activated switch completes an electrical circuit illuminating said light source. The lanyard is releasably connected to an end of the actuator using a separable interconnection assembly. When the lanyard is pulled, the actuator moves from the first position to the second position and on reaching the second position the separable interconnection assembly separates thereby disengaging the lanyard from the actuator. An electrical circuit is completed illuminating the light source and the actuator may be reversed from the second position back into the first position using the raised boss thereby extinguishing the light source.

Abstract: A marine warning sign, in the shape of a right prism, having a frame forming a square of other polygonal shaped enclosure with straight sides and open front and rear faces. In the front face is positioned an assembly comprised of a transparent panel under which is a graphics panel. On the obverse face of the graphics panel is printed some desired warning indicia. A rear panel enclosed the rear face of the frame. A border, in the same shape as the frame, surrounds the indicia. The border is formed of electroluminescent tape. The electroluminescent tape illuminates when energized by an electrical power control located within the sign. The electrical power control is powered by a rechargeable battery which powers an a/c to d/c inverter. The electrical power control is switched on and off during night and day, respectively, by a circuit in the electrical power control comprised of a comparator having a bridge circuit with a photoresistor as one input. Mercury level switches also are provided to disable the electrical power control if the sign is tilted from its desired level attitude. The inverter provides alternating current to two leads of the electroluminescent tape, causing the electroluminescent tape to illuminate.
