ABSTRACT:
A portable light generating belt device includes a housing having an aperture, a fixed shaft, and a retaining unit disposed on an outer surface of the housing. A pulley includes a pulley body which is disposed rotatably on the shaft of the housing, an annular groove which is formed in an outer surface thereof, and a cavity which is formed in a side wall of the pulley body. A torsion spring is received within the cavity of the pulley body and is secured at one end portion thereof to the shaft of the housing and at the other end portion to the pulley body. A light generating belt is provided with an electroluminescent strip which can be powered to generate light, and has an inner end portion which is secured to the pulley and an outer end portion which extends through the aperture of the housing. An enlarged end of the belt is located outside of the housing and is sized so that the enlarged end cannot pass through the aperture into the housing. The enlarge end can be retained on the retaining unit of the housing when moved away from the aperture of the housing in the case where the device is in use. A battery operated power supply unit can be actuated so as to supply electrical current to the 25 electroluminescent strip, thus lighting the same.
