Patent ID: 6992572

Claim:
A direction indicator system including: (i) a first direction indicating means adapted to be moved to and from a position indicating a first direction of travel; (ii) a second direction indicating means adapted to be moved to and from a position indicating a second direction of travel, and is able to move independently of the first direction indicating means; (iii) a sensor adapted to be attached to an object or an user, wherein the sensor is adapted to sense the position of each direction indicating means such that when the direction indicating means are within a sensing zone the direction indicating means are deactivated and when outside the sensing zone the direction indication means are activated; and further, wherein the first direction indicating means is adapted to be positioned adjacent to a first side of the sensor when within the sensing zone and the second direction indicating means is adapted to be positioned adjacent to a second side of the sensor when in the sensing zone; and that when the first direction indicating means is moved away from the sensor and out of the sensing zone the first direction indicating means is activated so as to indicate the first direction of travel and when the second indicating means is moved away from the sensor and out of the sensing zone the second direction indicating means is activated so as to indicate the second direction of travel.
