Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9704434A1] The invention relates to an optical signalling device, especially for an item of clothing, consisting of at least two active actively illuminated light sources (5), which are preferably designed to emit differently coloured light and are connected to a control circuit (3) which activates the light sources (5) in a predeterminable sequence and is connected to a switch, sensor or the like (2) by means of which it can be manually activated and/or deactivated. In order to provide an optical signalling device which can be activated not only manually by also externally, the light sources (5) can be activated by manual controls (switch position I) or remote control (switch position II). The light sources (5) can be activated by the remote control via a receiver (4). It is thus possible for a number of optical signalling devices to be activated simultaneously by a co-ordinator or automatically, e.g. big meetings, thus producing an enhanced optical efficiency. According to one feature of the invention, the colours of the light sources may be matched to given clubs, organisations or nationalities.
