Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an electronic visual distress signal device. In one embodiment, the invention may comprise a waterproof housing comprising: a bulbous portion; a cylindrical portion; and a collar portion. An optical lens may be coupled to the collar portion, extend along a central lens axis, and comprise: an outer lens surface comprising a central outer flat surface located along the central lens axis and an outer convex surface radially outward of the central outer flat surface; and an inner lens surface comprising a central inner flat surface located along the central lens axis and an inner concave surface radially outward of the central inner flat surface. A light source may be positioned beneath the central inner flat surface so that light emitted from the light source passes through the optical lens. A power source may be located within the cylindrical portion.

Claim (Index 12):
A floatable visual distress signal device comprising:\n a waterproof housing comprising:\n a bulbous top portion; \n a cylindrical portion extending downward from the bulbous top portion; \n a collar portion extending upward from the bulbous top portion, the collar portion comprising an annular upstanding sidewall that terminates in an annular outer rim and defines a passageway into a compartment of the waterproof housing; \n a lens extending along a central lens axis and comprising;\n an outer lens surface; \n an inner lens surface comprising a downwardly extending protuberance; \n an annular sidewall that extends parallel to and circumscribes the central lens axis; \n the lens coupled to the collar portion of the waterproof housing to seal the passageway in a watertight manner, and so that the annular upstanding sidewall of the collar portion is concentric with the annular sidewall of the lens; a first circuit board comprising a light source positioned so that light generated from the light source is emitted through the lens; a circuit board mounting plate upon which a first circuit board is positioned; a power source located within the cylindrical portion of the waterproof housing; one or more perch legs extending upward from the power source, through a portion of the compartment formed by the bulbous top portion, and into the passageway defined by the annular upstanding sidewall of collar portion, the one or more perch legs supporting, the circuit board mounting plate located at a distal end of the one or more perch legs; and electrical circuitry operably configured to generate a visual SOS distress pattern with the light source.
