Abstract

An illuminated welding helmet system for selectively illuminating a darkened area during welding operations includes a welding helmet that may be worn during welding and the welding helmet includes an auto lens. A light unit is coupled to the welding helmet and the light unit selectively emits light outwardly from the welding helmet thereby facilitating a darkened area to be visible. The light unit is in electrical communication with the auto lens. Moreover, the light unit is turned on when the auto lens does not detect light and the light unit is turned off when the auto lens detects light.

Claims (12)

1. An illuminated welding helmet system comprising:

a welding helmet being configured to be worn during welding, said welding helmet including an auto lens; and

a light unit being coupled to said welding helmet wherein said light unit is configured to emit light outwardly and forwardly from said welding helmet thereby facilitating a darkened area to be visible, said light unit being in electrical communication with said auto lens, said light unit being turned on when said auto lens does not detect light, said light unit being turned off when said auto lens detects light.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said light unit comprises a first light emitter being coupled to said welding helmet wherein said first light emitter is configured to emit light outwardly from said welding helmet.

3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein said first light emitter is electrically coupled to said auto lens, said first light emitter being turned on when said auto lens does not detect light, said first light emitter being turned off when said auto lens detects light.

4. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a second light emitter being coupled to said welding helmet wherein said second light emitter is configured to emit light outwardly from said welding helmet.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein said second light emitter is electrically coupled to said auto lens, said second light emitter being turned on when said auto lens does not detect light, said second light emitter being turned off when said auto lens detects light.

6. An illuminated welding helmet system comprising:

a welding helmet being configured to be worn during welding, said welding helmet including an auto lens; and

a light unit being coupled to said welding helmet wherein said light unit is configured to emit light outwardly and forwardly from said welding helmet thereby facilitating a darkened area to be visible, said light unit being in electrical communication with said auto lens, said light unit being turned on when said auto lens does not detect light, said light unit being turned off when said auto lens detects light, said light unit comprising:

a first light emitter being coupled to said welding helmet wherein said first light emitter is configured to emit light outwardly from said welding helmet, said first light emitter being electrically coupled to said auto lens, said first light emitter being turned on when said auto lens does not detect light, said first light emitter being turned off when said auto lens detects light, and

a second light emitter being coupled to said welding helmet wherein said second light emitter is configured to emit light outwardly from said welding helmet, said second light emitter being electrically coupled to said auto lens, said second light emitter being turned on when said auto lens does not detect light, said second light emitter being turned off when said auto lens detects light.
