ABSTRACT:
A new and improved skate light apparatus which includes a self-contained, battery-powered light assembly and either an adjustable bracket or an adjustable strap for connecting the light assembly to the skate. The light assembly includes a housing, a battery pack, a light source, and a switch connected between the battery pack and the light source. In addition, the light assembly may also include a rotatable reflector and an electric motor for rotating the reflector. The adjustable bracket which supports the light assembly is connected to support structures, such as struts or studs, on the skate. When a strap is used to attach the light assembly to the skate, the light assembly housing includes a slot for receiving an adjustable strap, and the adjustable strap is threaded through the slot and extends around the foot on which the skate is fitted. The adjustable strap can include hook material and complementary loop material for securing the adjustment of the strap around the foot. The light assembly can further include a sound generator, such as a tone generator. The light that is emitted from the light source can be a flashing light. In this respect, electronic circuitry can be provided to cause the light source to flash.
