Abstract

A wearable illuminating device is provided. The wearable illuminating device includes a band having a first end and a second end, wherein the ends can removably couple via a band fastener to secure the band to a wrist of a wearer. In a closed configuration, the ends are coupled together forming a closed loop sized to receive the wrist of the wearer. A plurality of light sources is positioned about the band and each light source is able to emit light from a forward end. In this way, the wearable illuminating device frees up the wearer's hand to perform a task more adequately. Moreover, a forward end of each light source extends past a forward edge of the band, wherein an uninterrupted ray of light is emitted therefrom and is made to illuminate an object, free from an umbra or shadow generated by the plurality of light source.

Claims (9)

1. A wearable illuminating device, comprising:

a band having a first end and a second end, wherein the ends are adapted to removably couple and transition between an open configuration and a closed configuration via a band fastener, wherein the closed configuration the ends are coupled together forming a closed loop sized to receive a wrist of a user therein;

a plurality of light sources disposed about the band, wherein each light source is adapted to emit light from a forward end thereof;

wherein the forward end of each light source extends past a forward edge of the band, wherein an uninterrupted ray of light is emitted therefrom and is made to illuminate an object, free from an umbra or shadow generated by the plurality of light source;

an electrical circuit operably connected to the plurality of light sources having a switch assembly for controlling the plurality of light sources;

wherein each light source is positioned around an exterior side of the band and at fixed intervals from an adjacent light source, such that the plurality of light sources are disposed entirely around the band in the closed configuration, resulting in the illumination the object, free from the umbra or shadow generated by the plurality of light source.

2. The wearable illuminating device of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises a magnetic fastener.

3. The wearable illuminating device of claim 1 , wherein a rear side of each of the plurality of lights are adapted to engage the first side of the mounting support.

4. The wearable illuminating device of claim 1 , wherein the fastener comprises an adhesive or a suction cup.
