Company patents

Wilcox Industries Corp.

Wilcox Industries Corp. shows a surprising lack of sustained patent activity, with many categories like Optical Elements & Systems and Batteries & Fuel Cells, each representing 12.3% of its portfolio, experiencing significant year-over-year declines of 50.0% or more in 2025 and so far in 2026. This indicates a broad shifting of priorities away from what were once emerging areas in 2024, with categories like Power Distribution & Storage and Electrical Connectors seeing a complete cessation of patenting activity by 2026.

Helmet mounted multispectral illumination device

Filed:2024-11-11Pub:2025-11-25
Applicant:WILCOX INDUSTRIES CORP.

A multispectral illumination device includes a main housing configured to be secured to a helmet and an illuminator head comprising a plurality of light sources, the plurality of light sources operable to emit light in multiple spectral regions. A selector is located on the main housing for actuating one or more of the light sources within the plurality of light sources that emit light in a selected one of the multiple spectral regions. A stalk passes through an opening in the main housing and has a first end coupled to the illuminator head and a second end opposite the first end received within the main housing. The stalk is slidable within the opening in the main housing to extend and retract the illuminator head toward and away from the housing, the stalk being slidable between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position.
