Abstract: An incandescent lamp fixture includes an incandescent lamp screwed into a plastic lamp socket, a metallic heat dissipater in intimate heat transfer contact with the socket and having heat dissipating fins extending out from the socket. A metallic reflector surrounds the lamp and is mounted on the dissipater in heat transfer contact with it. An open-ended cylindrical lamp shade is connected to the heat dissipater and is in spaced, concentric relation to the dissipater, socket and lamp to permit free flow of air heated by the fixture to pass between the outside of the reflector and through the fins of the dissipater on the one side and the interior of the shade on the other. This will keep the temperature of the lamp base below the breakdown temperature of the socket and switch and below the breakdown temperature of the cement between the lamp base and the lamp bulb. A switch assembly includes a switch base mounted to the lamp socket and incoming power wires mounted directly on the switch base.
Abstract: A headlight mounting and adjustment mechanism particularly suited for use in a motor vehicle for adjusting the direction in which the headlight is aimed includes a headlight assembly elastically yieldably supported by a headlight support at one location. A dual adjustment device is provided for effecting the up-and-down or vertical adjustment and also the left-to-right or horizontal adjustment of the headlight assembly.

Abstract: An adjustable recessed electrical lighting fixture utilizing an electrical socket which engages a lamp. A mounting plate surrounds at least a portion of the lamp. A frame having a pair of legs pivotally connects the mounting plate and provides support for the electrical socket. The frame is pivoted in relation to the mounting plate to provide adjustment about a horizontal axis. A race which contacts at least a portion of the mounting plate is movable in relation to the mounting plate to provide adjustment about a vertical axis.
Abstract: This light is designed for use in the welding industry, for checking joint preparations, by lighting the area to be welded, lighting the area of a weld, so as to enable the user effectively to clean or chip slag from it, etc. It consists primarily of a sleeve, in which a high voltage bulb is received, that includes a resistor across the leads, and it is mounted to any electrode holder, by a ball and socket swivel, for changing the light angle.
Abstract: A headlamp and integral mounting assembly having three peripherally spaced integrally formed mounting means, which cooperate with headlamp support means to provide three suspension points from which the lamp is pivotally mounted for independent adjustment from two of the points for limited pivotal rotative movement about a pair of coplanar, orthogonally related and intersecting axes, one of which axes is contained in an axial plane passing through the geometric center of the lamp unit and the other of which axes is displaced from the geometric center and located outwardly of the lamp unit.
Abstract: Luminaire lamp support device for vertical and angular adjustment of vertically-mounted lamp. The device includes a pair of spaced L-shaped plates secured at their bottom to the luminaire reflector in which the lamp is positioned and secured at their upwardly extending legs to an inverted U-shaped hinge bracket to which the lamp socket is secured. The hinge bracket is adjustably secured to the L-shaped plates for pivoting thereon about a horizontal axis. The socket is adjustably mounted on another U-shaped bracket secured to the hinge bracket for adjustment of the socket along a substantially vertical axis.

Abstract: A point locating apparatus is disclosed for precisely locating a point from a known point where the position of the point to be located has been previously known. The apparatus of the present invention may be used to repeatedly locate an object, such as an oil fill pipe, once its position is originally known even though the location of the object on subsequent occasions may be obscured from view. The apparatus includes a bracket which may be mounted at a fixed point, such as on the wall of a building, and a collimated light source which may be removably mounted on the bracket. The bracket includes a keyed mounting structure which is at least partially rotatable in two orthogonal directions, thereby allowing adjustment to point the collimated light source in the direction of the object to be repeatedly located on subsequent occasions.
Abstract: A mechanism for adjustably supporting a light unit for movement in any direction throughout a wide range, which mechanism is electrically powered and arranged for remote control. The mechanism includes a fixed driving unit having a reversible motor, the shaft of which is provided with a support member for supporting the light unit for rotation about the axis of the motor shaft. The light unit is also provided with a reversible motor, the shaft of which is utilized to support the light unit on the support member for rotation of the light unit about the axis of its motor shaft. The respective motor shafts are perpendicular to one another, and rotation of both the support member and light unit are limited by stop members to predetermined rotary paths thereby protecting flexible conductors which extend from the light unit motor and lamp to the driving unit. Switch elements control the energization of the motors, as well as the actuation of the light.
