Patent ID: 7557699

Claim:
An indicator light assembly for use with an object being towed by a towing vehicle, the towed object including a substantially planar rear end, at least one substantially planar side orthogonal to the end, and a first intersection between the side and the end, the indicator light assembly comprising: a transmitting assembly adapted to transmit at least one wireless signal that corresponds to a vehicular indicator light signal when coupled to an indicator light energizing circuit of the vehicle; and at least one tail-light assembly, comprising: a support structure including a first planar portion and a second planar portion orthogonal to the first portion, wherein at least one of the first and second portions includes a plurality of apertures for receiving fasteners; an indicator light attached to the support structure; a receiver attached to the support structure, and adapted to receive the wireless signal; and a controller attached to the support structure, and adapted to process the received wireless signal, and to energize the indicator light in a manner corresponding to the vehicular indicator light signal; wherein the support structure is adapted to be mounted on the first intersection of the towed object in a mounted position, whereby the first portion engages the side, the second portion engages the end, and the indicator light is appropriately positioned for viewing from a selected position spaced from the rear end; and wherein the support structure is adapted to be secured in the mounted position by inserting the fasteners through the apertures and into the towed object.
