US Patent:

51515784, Sep 29, 1992

Filed:

Aug 29, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/751555

Inventors:

Jerry G. Phillips - Plantation FL

International Classification:

H05B 334
A61F 700

US Classification:

219549

Abstract:

An electric heating pad is provided with an anisotropic stiffening member that provides considerable rigidity in a first direction and considerable flexibility in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The stiffening member is provided with many elongate parallel corrugations, ridges or channels to provide unidirectional stiffness in the direction of the long axis of the channels. When the heating pad is used in a vertical position with the channels running vertically, the pad is prevented from collapsing or folding over on itself by the stiffening member while it is flexible in the horizontal direction to conform to a body part. This feature is especially useful for heating an aching back while sitting upright. The pad is also useful for wrapping around a limb and is provided with a strap for that purpose.

Abstract:

A multi-function lighted walking cane which may be used in the dark as a cane for lighting the user's walkway and may also be used as a beacon to show the user's position to others. The light-emitting portion of this invention is housed adjacent and within a translucent or transparent lens positioned near the lower end of the cane. It may optionally have a raised lens shape which enhances the light-dispersing characteristics of the cane. The lens is positioned so that light is cast forward of the user along the ground. A plurality of small apertures may also be provided in the hollow cane adjacent the light source around the remaining surface juxtaposed to the lens to provide the beacon light function. This lower portion of the cane, housing the light source near its lower end, contains the battery and the power supply. The length of the cane may is made adjustable.
