Vehicle lane verification device and method

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A vehicle lane position verification device for use by a vehicle having a windshield, said vehicle lane verification device comprising: an LED sighting unit; and an attachment mechanism for attaching the LED sighting unit to the windshield of a vehicle; the attachment mechanism including a slide bar having a suction cup secured to each end thereof; LED sighting unit including an aiming LED supported by a user moveable LED clamp mechanism; the aiming LED having a power supply cable in connection with an electrical power source such that the aiming LED emits light of sufficient luminance to be seen in daylight; the aiming LED being supported by the user moveable LED clamp mechanism on the slide bar; the user moveable LED clamp mechanism including two resilient locking legs; each locking leg including a slide bar receiving aperture provided therethrough of greater size than the slide bar; each locking leg being resiliently biased away from the other resilient locking leg such that the two resilient locking legs exert a gripping and holding force against the slide bar when the slide bar is inserted through the two slide bar receiving apertures and the two resilient locking legs allowed to resiliently move away from each other; the two resilient locking legs releasing the gripping and holding force against the slide bar when the two resilient locking legs are squeezed toward each other allowing a user to position the LED sighting unit at any desired location along the slide bar.




Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to vehicle safety equipment and more particularly to a vehicle lane position verification device that includes an LED sighting unit having an aiming LED extending from a battery housing with a battery connector provided therein and an on/off switch in connection therewith that is wired in series electrical connection with the aiming LED and the battery connector in a manner such that the on/off switch controls operation of the aiming LED when batteries are positioned in the battery connector; and an attachment mechanism for attaching the LED sighting unit to the windshield of a vehicle
