A brake and signal light system for use with a vehicle, such as a motorcycle and a helmet worn by a rider of the motorcycle. The system includes a transmitter mounted to the vehicle and electrically connected to the signaling circuitry of the vehicle for broadcasting a coded radio signal in response to a current passing through the signaling circuitry of the vehicle. A flexible housing is mounted the helmet and contains a receiver and at least one light source. The receiver receives the radio signal and at least one light source is illuminated indicating the state of the vehicle's signaling circuitry. The housing assembly includes a central portion, at least one left segmented housing, and at least one right segmented housing. A flexible back member flexibly connects the left and right segmented housing to the central portion. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of helmet mounted signal lights now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved brake and signal light system for attachment to a helmet, and overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art.
As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved brake and signal light system and method which has all the advantages of the prior art mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a brake and signal light system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by the prior art, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention includes a transmitter assembly mounted to a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, and connected to the signaling circuitry of the vehicle.
The transmitter may be connected to the brake signal, left turn indication signal, right turn indication signal, running lights and hazard lights of the signaling circuitry of the vehicle.
The transmitter broadcasts a signal, such as a radio-frequency signal, which is received by a transmitter.
The transmitter is contained within a housing assembly which is secured to a helmet towards a rearward portion thereof.
Alight source, such as a light emitting diode (LED), is also contained within the housing assembly.
The light source is caused to illuminate upon the radio signal being received by the receiver and is illuminated so as to indicate the present state of the signaling circuitry of the vehicle.
The transmitter assembly includes a conditioning circuit, a voltage regulator, a first micro-controller, and a transmitter circuit.
The receiver includes a receiver circuit and a second micro-controller.
Both the first and the second micro-controllers comprise random access memory and read-only memory.
Additionally, the first and second micro-controller may be 8-bit micro-controllers
