Abstract:
A rescue torch apparatus utilizes coherent and incoherent light sources to help firefighters navigate through smoke and fire filled environments. The rescue torch apparatus includes a coherent-light emitter, an incoherent-light emitter, an elongated body, a rotatable-activation mechanism, a portable power unit, and an inductive receiver. The incoherent-light emitter emits continuous light for general illumination or short bursts of light to activate photo-luminescent display panels worn by firefighters. The coherent-light emitter emits beams of coherent light that penetrate through smoke filled environments and outline obstacles. The elongated body houses and protects the coherent-light emitter and the incoherent-light emitter. The rotatable-activation mechanism allows for hands-free operation of the light sources. Power is provided by a portable power unit mated to an inductive receiver for wireless recharging.

Claim (Index 10):
An ergonomic torch apparatus comprising:\n a coherent-light emitter; an incoherent-light emitter; an elongated body; a deductive rotatable-activation mechanism; a portable power unit; an inductive receiver; a cradle; an inductive transmitter; a diffraction optical element; the coherent-light emitter and the incoherent-light emitter being terminally integrated into the elongated body; the deductive rotatable-activation mechanism being externally mounted onto the elongated body; the portable power unit being electrically connected to the coherent-light emitter and the incoherent-light emitter through the deductive rotatable-activation mechanism; the inductive receiver being integrated into the elongated body; the portable power unit being mounted within the elongated body; the inductive receiver being electrically connected to the portable power unit; the deductive rotatable-activation mechanism comprising a bezel cogwheel and a rotary deductive switch; the bezel cogwheel being rotatably attached onto the rotary deductive switch; the rotary deductive switch being integrated into the elongated body; the portable power unit being electrically connected to the coherent-light emitter and the incoherent-light emitter through the rotary deductive switch; the bezel cogwheel being operatively coupled to the rotary deductive switch; an electrical circuit between the portable power source and the coherent-light emitter being completed in response to the bezel cogwheel being rotated in a first angular direction; an electrical circuit between the portable power source and the incoherent-light emitter being completed in response to the bezel cogwheel being rotated in a second angular direction; the first angular direction and the second angular direction being oriented opposite to each other; the inductive receiver being terminally positioned on the elongated body, opposite to the coherent-light emitter and the incoherent-light emitter; the inductive transmitter being integrated into the cradle; the elongated body being positioned into cradle; the inductive transmitter comprising a primary coil; the inductive receiver comprising a secondary coil; the inductive transmitter and the inductive receiver being inductive magnetic communication with each other by the primary coil and the secondary coil being inductively coupled to each other; the diffraction optical element being integrated into the elongated body; the diffraction optical element being positioned adjacent to the coherent-light emitter; and an emission axis of the coherent-light emitter traversing through the diffraction optical element.
