BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to boat light systems and more particularly pertains to a new marine anchor and navigational light system for providing flexible and resilient lights which cannot be damaged.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The use of boat light systems is known in the prior art. More specifically, boat light systems heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new marine anchor and navigational light system. The prior art includes base members, tubular support member, flexible tubular members, and light-emitting members.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new marine anchor and navigational light system which has many of the advantages of the boat light systems mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new marine anchor and navigational light system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art boat light systems, either alone or in any combination thereof. The present invention includes a boat; and also includes base assemblies including base members being fastened to the boat and also including electrical plug members being attached to the base members and being connected to wires; and further includes first tubular members each being detachably connected to a respective one of the electrical plug members; and also includes elongate bendable tubular linkage members each being securely attached to a respective one of the first tubular members; and further includes second tubular members each being detachably connected to a respective one of the elongate flexible tubular linkage members; and also includes light-emitting assemblies including combination light-emitting socket and plug members each being detachably connected to a respective one of the second tubular members, and also including light-emitting members being removably connected to the combination light-emitting socket and plug members. None of the prior art includes the combination of the elements of the present invention.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the marine anchor and navigational light system in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a new marine anchor and navigational light system which has many of the advantages of the boat light systems mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new marine anchor and navigational light system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art boat light systems, either alone or in any combination thereof.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new marine anchor and navigational light system for providing flexible and resilient lights which cannot be damaged.

Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new marine anchor and navigational light system that is easy and convenient to set up and use.

Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new marine anchor and navigational light system that can be easily removed from the boat and can also be easily adjusted by the user as needed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular toFIGS. 1 through 4thereof, a new marine anchor and navigational light system embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral10will be described.

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 4, the marine anchor and navigational light apparatus10generally comprises a boat11. The boat11has a bow section12and a stern section13.

Base assemblies include base members14,15being securely and conventionally fastened to the boat11and also including electrical plug members16,17being conventionally attached to the base members14,15and being securely connected to wires. The base members14,15include a first base member14which is fastened with fasteners to the bow section12of the boat11, and also include a second base member15which is fastened with fasteners to the stern section13of the boat11. The first and second base members14,15are disc-shaped plates. Each of the electrical plug members16,17includes a plug body16being securely and conventionally attached to a respective one of the first and second base members14,15, and also includes prongs17extending outwardly from the plug body16.

The marine anchor and navigational light system10also comprises first tubular members18,41each being detachably and conventionally connected to a respective one of the electrical plug members16,17. Each first tubular member18,41has open bottom ends20, and also has a bore19being disposed therethrough, and further has a hole21being disposed through a side wall thereof and receiving a first setscrew22for fastening the first tubular member18,41to a respective plug body16.

The marine anchor and navigational light system10further comprises elongate bendable tubular linkage members23,24each being securely and conventionally attached to a respective one of the first tubular members18,41. The elongate bendable tubular linkage members23,24have bottom ends which are securely and conventionally attached to top ends of the first tubular members18,41.

The marine anchor and navigational light system10also comprises second tubular members25,42each being detachably and conventionally connected to a respective one of the flexible tubular linkage members23,24. Each second tubular member25,42has an open top end27, and also has a bore26being disposed therethrough, and further has a hole28being disposed through a side wall thereof and receiving a second setscrew29, and has a bottom end which is securely and conventionally attached to a top end of a respective elongate bendable tubular linkage member23,24.

Light-emitting assemblies include combination light-emitting socket and plug members30,31each being detachably connected to a respective one of the second tubular members25,42, and also include light-emitting members32,33being removably connected to the combination light-emitting socket and plug members30,31. The light-emitting assemblies further include first plug-receiving sockets34being conventionally disposed in the bores19of the first tubular members18,41near the open bottom ends20thereof and removably receiving the prongs17of the electrical plug members16,17, and also include second plug-receiving sockets35being conventionally disposed in the bores26of the second tubular members25,42near the open top ends27thereof and being conventionally connected to the first plug-receiving sockets34with wires36. The combination light-emitting socket and plug members30,31have prongs31being extended therefrom and being removably received in the second plug-receiving sockets35with the combination light-emitting socket and plug members30,31being fastened with the second setscrews29to the second tubular members25,42. The light-emitting assemblies also include conical-shaped cover support members37,38being securely and conventionally mounted about the combination light-emitting socket and plug members30,31, and further include color-tinted transparent conical-shaped cover members39,40being detachably threaded to the conical-shaped cover support members37,38with one of the color-tinted transparent conical-shaped cover members40being colored white and the other of the color-tinted transparent conical-shaped cover members39being colored green and red.

In use, the marine anchor and navigational light system10is energized by a battery for the boat so as to provide adjustable lights at the bow section12of the boat11and at the stern section13of the boat11.
