Claim 7

The warning-light housing of claim 4 wherein; the receptacle has a terminal block attached thereto for electrical connection with a light source, and the receptacle holds the light source in an aligned predetermined position relative to the lens and reflector so that no focusing adjustment is necessary.

Claim 8

The warning-light housing of claim 5 wherein; a mounting nipple is attached to the base member; a window is mounted in the side of the base member; and a vent is mounted in the side of the base member.

Claim 9

The warning-light housing of claim 6 having an integrally mounted receptacle.

Claim 10

A warning-light housing comprising: an arcuate concave reflector, the reflector having substantially uniformly distributed random irregularities over its surface of producing uniform light dispersion; and a background-forming member of substantially circular shape, the background-forming member having means for attachment to the warning-light housing, the background-forming member having a shape substantially concentrically waved, along a radially transverse direction.

Claim 11

A warning-light housing comprising: an arcuate concave reflector, the reflector having substantially uniformly distributed random irregularities over its surface of producing uniform light dispersion; and a background-forming member of substantially circular shape, the background-forming member having means for attachment to the warning-light housing, the background-forming member having a shape substantially concentrically waved, along a radially transverse direction.

Claim 12

The reflector of claim 8 having substantially the shape of a parabolic section wherein: a reflective material is deposited upon the surface, the reflective material selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, chromium, and aluminum.

Claim 13

A warning-light housing of unitized construction comprising in combination: a base member of tubular cylindrical shape, the base having an open and closed end; an integral reflector mounted in the closed end of the base with the concave surface facing the open end, being substantially the shape of a parabolic dish, and having uniformly distributed random irregularities over its concave surface; the concave surface plated with a reflective material; a receptacle mounted to the base member having a terminal block attached for electrical connection; a window mounted in the base member for side viewing; an integral vent mounted in the bottom side of the base, and an integral mounting nipple attached at the top side of the base; a door movably mounted to the base member, the door being tubular cylindrical shape having an open end and a closed end, the open end of the door mating with the open end of the base when The door is in a closed position, the cylindrical shape of the door extends from the open end and is cut along a bias with the central axis of the door to form a hood as an integral part of the door, a lens is formed in the hood closing the end of the door along the bias; a background-forming member having the shape of a circular plate, the background-forming member has an aperture in the center so as to fit about the hood, and a shape substantially concentrically waved along a radially transverse direction; a lip protrusion is extending about the aperture formed in the background-forming member; a plurality of ridge, stopping and groove members disposed about the periphery of the door, the groove, ridge and stopping members holding the background-forming member in place, the body of the background-forming member fitting into the groove against the stopping member and the ridge holding the lip protrusion of the background-forming member in opposite directions.

Claim 14

A warning-light housing of unitized construction comprising in combination: a base member of tubular cylindrical shape, the base having an open and closed end; an integral reflector mounted in the closed end of the base with the concave surface facing the open end, being substantially the shape of a parabolic dish, and having uniformly distributed random irregularities over its concave surface; the concave surface plated with a reflective material; a receptacle mounted to the base member having a terminal block attached for electrical connection; a window mounted in the base member for side viewing; an integral vent mounted in the bottom side of the base, and an integral mounting nipple attached at the top side of the base; a door movably mounted to the base member, the door being tubular cylindrical shape having an open end and a closed end, the open end of the door mating with the open end of the base when The door is in a closed position, the cylindrical shape of the door extends from the open end and is cut along a bias with the central axis of the door to form a hood as an integral part of the door, a lens is formed in the hood closing the end of the door along the bias; a background-forming member having the shape of a circular plate, the background-forming member has an aperture in the center so as to fit about the hood, and a shape substantially concentrically waved along a radially transverse direction; a lip protrusion is extending about the aperture formed in the background-forming member; a plurality of ridge, stopping and groove members disposed about the periphery of the door, the groove, ridge and stopping members holding the background-forming member in place, the body of the background-forming member fitting into the groove against the stopping member and the ridge holding the lip protrusion of the background-forming member in opposite directions.
