Patent number: 9194548Abstract: In a lighting apparatus comprising a light source housing is pivoted on a clip that can attach alternatively to a head strap adapter or to an adapter secured to a night vision goggle mounting plate. The clip includes a horizontal member having a bracket on the light source housing is rotatable, a pair of spaced, upwardly extending, tabs, and a vertical member extending upward from a location between the tabs. The upwardly extending tabs enter slots on the bottom of the adapter or mounting base, and a rib on the top of the adapter or mounting base is received by a snap fit in a downwardly facing slot on a horizontal part at the upper end of the vertical member of the clip.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Princeton Tectonics, Inc.Inventor: Gregory C.

Patent number: 8657459Abstract: A low profile lighting apparatus is characterized by a battery housing, a rail-engaging plate connected to the housing by a pair of arms, and a recessed activating push-button located between the arms and adjacent the rail-engaging plate. A flexible resilient tab, also recessed between the arms, secures the apparatus to a rail. A lock-out switch is built into a plug for closing an end of the housing. The plug has three discrete rotational positions, one for attachment, a second for activation of an illumination source, and a third for preventing accidental activation of the illumination source by requiring simultaneous axial pressure and rotation. Instead of the plug, a hinged door having a sliding latch part can be utilized. The sliding latch part includes a pair of resilient legs that cooperate with surfaces inside the door to urge the latch part toward a latching condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2012Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Princeton Tectonics, Inc.Inventors: Gregory C. Janice, Michael Aaskov, Kyle Walters

Publication number: 20110188236Abstract: In an adjustable light, a mounting base is formed with a pair of arcuate slots for receiving hooks protruding from a light module. For attachment of the light module to the base, the hooks enter open ends of the respective slots, and the light module is rotated to engage the hooks with the slots. A sheet of spring metal with two series of protrusions is sandwiched between a rear part of the base and a front part in which the slots are formed. The protrusions are exposed through the slots, and a space is provided behind the protrusions, allowing them to move resiliently when engaged by the hooks as the light module is rotated so that the light module can be retained in any selected one of a plurality of angular positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2010Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: PRINCETON TECTONICS, INC.Inventors: Cleatis A.

Patent number: 4753164Abstract: An adjustable pocket printing platen is disclosed for use with the printing platen of a prior art type of silk screen printing machine. The adjustable pocket printing platen includes a frame having a pair of spaced, transverse rails having end flanges positioned to bottomly underly the marginal edges of the machine platen. Thumb screws extend through the bottom flanges to lock the pocket printing platen to the machine platen in any longitudinally adjusted position. A small platen transversely rides along the transverse rails and is sized to receive and support the pocket of a garment thereupon. Set screws extend through marginal edges of the small platen to lock the platen to the transverse rails in any desired transversely adjusted position. The top surface of the small platen extends above the top surface of the machine platen to receive the printing screen when it is lowered to apply a screened design to a garment pocket.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1987Date of Patent: June 28, 1988Inventors: David W. Barnes, Gregory C. Janice
