ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Raccoon hunting, popularly known as coon hunting, is a sport which is engaged in by a large number of hunters hunting at night with the aid of especially trained dogs to find and tree the quarry. After the quarry is treed, it is shot by means of a rifle used by the coon hunter. There is no convenient means for providing light as needed for this operation. Some hunters carry flashlights but this is awkward because they need both hands to handle the rifle and therefore cannot adequately illuminate the target.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Applicant's invention provides a belt worn by the hunter containing rechargeable batteries and which may be connected to primary sources of light. One is a light which may be attached to the cap of the hunter so it may be used to illuminate the target when the hunter is firing his weapon. Also a flood light is provided which may be carried on the belt of the hunter and used as needed. The invention also includes a third light which may be used to illuminate the ground in the immediate area where the hunter is walking. The batteries are readily rechargeable and each of the first two lights are provided with two different quantities of battery power which may be controlled by switches so as to vary the amount of illumination.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a battery power and light belt which is especially adapted for use in night time hunting of raccoons.
This, together with other objects of the invention, will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings.
