DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The present invention is an apparatus 100 with a light source 200 attached to a lower cord 400 or cords. See FIG. 1. The lower cord 400 is connected to a light source on the proximal end of a cord on each lateral side of the light source 200. The lower cord could have a covering 430. The distal end of the lower cords are inserted into an opening 440 in a handle 500 with a cord lock 410 holding both distal lower ends 420 of together. The cord lock 410 can be slid along the length of the cord 400 to make the handle 500 closer to the light source 200. An upper cord 300 has a cord lock 310. The upper cord 300 goes through a handle 500. The ends 320 of the cord 300 are pulled and into a cord lock 310.

[0016] The upper cord lock 310 and lower cord lock 410 holding two ends 420, 320 of a cord may be moved away from the light source 200 to make a space for an object 600. The cord locks 310, 410 may be removed so that the ends 320, 420 could be tied around an object 600 such as a bicycle. If the cords 300, 400 are not tied around the bicycle, it may be possible to put the cord lock 310, 410 back on or put some other device to hold both ends so that the cords do not slip off the bicycle. The apparatus 100 may be used on the front or back of a bicycle as a light. It could also be used with a bicycle and as a water holding device. Additionally, the handle 500 may be removed from the cord 300, 400 and used without it. Or some of the cords 300, 400 may be inserted in some other object and tied, a cord lock 310, 410 used, or another device similar to a cord lock 310, 410, which allows two ends 320, 420 to be held in place close to the light source 200.

[0017] The cords 300, 400 could be a round cordlike piece or it could be more like a strip of fabric or other material. The cords 300, 400 may be elastic or inelastic. Other materials from which the cords 300, 400 may be made include but are not limited to natural materials, for example, leather or natural fibers, polymeric materials, for example, nylon; or elastomeric materials, for example, rubber. The cords 300, 400 may include an adjustment apparatus so that it may adjusted with a slide mechanism.

[0018] The cord lock 310, 410 could be any type of clasp, cinch, or object which allows the cords 300, 410 to be fixed in place. In one embodiment, the cord lock 310, 410 may have a button when depressed loosens around the cord 300, 400 and when not depressed tightens around the cord 300, 400. The cord lock 310, 410 can have a spring inside it to exert pressure on a toggle inside a barrel, keeping the cord lock on the cord ends.

[0019] The handle 500 could be made out of sewed fabric or it could be fashioned from plastics, rubber, polymers, metal, wood, clay, ceramic, graphite, or bone. It can be made of elastic or non-elastic fabric. It can be any shape with openings 330, 440 for the cord to fit through. Each cord 300, 400 may have its own separate opening 330, 440 or two pieces of the cord could fit through one hole. The cord 300, 400 could be wrapped around one or more holes and secured by a form of tying or secured with a cord lock 310, 410.

[0020] The cord or cords 300, 400 could be placed though holes in any thing and secured so the cord cannot go back through the holes 330, 440. Thus securing the light source 200 onto the thing. The cord or cords 300, 400 can be secured together using a cord lock 310, 410 which could be fasteners including but not limited to buttons, snaps, or velcro. A cord lock 310, 410 is used here as any item which can be used to hold a cord 300, 400 in place. Each cord 300, 400 could have its own cord lock 310, 410 or both of the cords 300, 400 could be in the same cord lock 310, 410.

[0021] The light source 200 could have the cord 300, 400 threaded through its housing 220 or could be attached in some other manner to the housing 220 such as glue, fasteners, or pressure fittings. The light source 200 could be one or more bulbs under a clear plastic part 210 inserted into a housing 220. The housing 200 having a battery door 230 and an on/off switch 240.

[0022] The cord 300, 400 can be enclosed in fabric, plastic, elastic, or other part. The cord 300, 400 can be attached to another cord, another piece of fabric, elastic, or piece of any other material including but not limited to plastic, metal, rubber, or wood instead of direct to the handle 500 or light source housing 220. The cord 300, 400 does not have to be attached directly to the light source 200.

[0023] The apparatus 100 may or may not include a handle 500, pockets, clips, or any other type of attachment device. The apparatus 100 may or may not: include a light source 200 that may or may not be rechargeable or solar-powered. The apparatus 100 can include WIFI compatibility, a global positioning system, automatic sensors to operate functions, emergency distress capabilities, water resistance, charging station for other devices, USB port, Bluetooth capabilities, GPS tracking, additional device holder, interchangeable advertising/logo, emergency call feature, multiple incandescent or LED lights or colored lights, and clips/carabiner.

[0024] The apparatus 100 may or may not be attached to any item moveable or non-moveable object. The apparatus 100 may or may not have a light source that is adjustable or non-adjustable on any type of material rigid/non-rigid with or without a handle and projects light in a standard or non-standard method or pattern.

[0025] The apparatus 100 can be used for any purpose including but not limited to outdoor sports, camping, hiking, security/safety and as a promotional/commercial item.
