Elastomeric indicator light lens
View Patent ↗An indicator light includes at least one segment. Each segment includes a housing forming an interior and an exterior surface with a light source within. A light filter comprises a transparent or translucent stretchable elastomeric ring processed to pass a desired color and dimensioned to fit on the exterior surface of the housing.
1. An indicator light, comprising:
at least two segments, the respective segments being optically isolated from each other, each segment comprising:
a segment base;
a housing mounted on the segment base, the housing being transparent or translucent and having an exterior surface and defining an interior;
a light source mounting on the segment base within the exterior surface;
a light filter, being stretchable, transparent or translucent, and processed to pass light of a desired color, dimensioned to fit over the indicator light and fit on the exterior surface of the housing of a segment.
2. The indicator light of claim 1 , wherein the segment base optically isolates the respective segments.
3. The indicator light of claim 1 , wherein the housing is transparent or translucent.
4. The indicator light of claim 1 , wherein the light source emits white light.
5. The indicator light of claim 4 wherein the light source is a light bulb.
6. The indicator light of claim 4 , wherein the light source is one or more light emitting diodes.
7. The indicator light of claim 1 , wherein the light filter is transparent or translucent, is stretchable, and processed to pass light of a desired color.
8. The indicator light of claim 7 wherein the light filter is an elastomeric ring.
