Patent
Issued for the LEAD-DOG Helmet Light
 Anchorage, Alaska - After 3 years and 8 months, the Director
of the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued
Helmetlight, Inc. a patent for the original design of their
removable helmet mounted spot light, taillight, and brake
light known as the LEAD-DOG Helmet Light.
"This
is the final step in developing our product", said Bill
Fischer, Helmetlight Inc. president. CEO Steve Karcz added
"securing the patent means that our product is unique and
fills a needed niche that increases safety for people
recreating or working in the outdoors".
Helmetlight, Inc., based in Anchorage, Alaska, began designing
and developing the much needed auxiliary helmet light to
increase visibility for snowmobile riding due to the long dark
winters of the last frontier. With only 5 hours of daylight on
the shortest day of the year, feats such as breaking trail and
locating reflective markers became so much easier as now
illumination is obtained WHERE the rider is looking, not just
where the machine is pointing. And as with newer motor
vehicles, the taillight and brake light up on the helmet is a
huge improvement in being seen by riders following from the
rear.
As a
sponsor of the Tesoro Iron Dog Snowmobile Race, the Light has
become a favorite among competitors in the grueling 2,000 mile
race across Alaska that tests the limits of equipment and
their riders.
Seven-time Iron Dog winner John Faeo sings praises of the
Helmet Light. "Your Helmetlight works like a champ at night in
Alaska. The position of this Lead Dog helmet light provides
that extra lighting that snowmobilers need to be safest when
riding in the extreme Alaskan conditions at night."
At
only 8 ounces, the advantage of the LEAD-DOG Helmet Light is
gained from it's easily removable and proven VELCRO mounting
system, and can be stored in a jacket pocket when not in use.
Installation is accomplished in short order to any
four-wheeler, motorcycle, or snowmobile and can also be used
with any 12 volt battery if no existing lighting is available
on the vehicle.
