Example viewing kits include a viewing aid, which may include a light, lens, filter, or other implement, and an interchangeable fastener that can be removably coupled to the viewing aid using a slot-and-key interface or other suitable coupling mechanism. Either the fastener alone, or the fastener coupled together with the viewing aid, provides a deformable cavity that is shaped to clamp onto an edge of the e-reader. Inserting the e-reader into the cavity causes the fastener, which is made of resilient material, to bend outwards. In response, the fastener exerts a pinching force on the e-reader, creating a pressure fit that connects the viewing aid securely to the e-reader.

The lamp is securely fixing at the controlled position at one of 4 positions and the position controlling slits. The main case is securely fixed to the bracket by installing a connection screw and a hinge bolt for restricting unwanted rotation of the hinge bolt. Accordingly, since a position controlling rib having a position controlling slit is extended rearward from side supporters, the illumination angle can be controlled within a greater range. The main case can be supported at 4 points through the plurality of position controlling slits. Furthermore, by fitting the connection screw with an outer circumferential recess of a hinge bolt fastening lever, rotational separation of the hinge bolt and change of the illumination angle of the main case can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 7980738
    Abstract: A multi-source shadowless operating lamp is disclosed, which includes a central base, a link element received in the central base, and a plurality of spotlights mounted on a peripheral of the central base and spaced a distance apart from each other. A light field is defined below the central base and extends perpendicular to the central base. Each spotlight defines a light focus spot through the light field. The focus spots exactly pass the same height in the light field. Each spotlight includes a lamp shell connecting with the central base, a dissipation substrate accommodated in the lamp shell, and a plurality of LED sets. The LED sets at different positions respectively cast light to the focus spot of the spotlight. An angle between the dissipation substrate and the light shell is adjustable to change position of the focus spot of the spotlight relative to the light field.

  • Publication number: 20110164428
    Abstract: A luminaire that has multiple removable handles thereon, and can operate in multiple different modes, including a mode where a manual follow spot can occur. To operate in the manual follow spot mode, the luminaire is placed into a free moving mode in which it can be moved, and then the luminaire is moved using the removable handles to manually place the luminaire in a desired location. Then, the luminaire is commanded to remain in that desired location by turning on breaks or the like. In the manual movement mode, movement of the luminaire is manually controlled and not remotely controlled and all of at least color, gobo, beam size and other parameters are remotely controlled.

  • Publication number: 20110140640
    Abstract: A lamp includes a head, a support arm and a base. The head includes a light emitting member. The support arm is rotatably connecting to the head. The support arm includes a first pushing member and a second pushing member. The base includes a moveable contact and a stationary contact. The moveable includes a spring tab. When the support arm is rotated to a first position, the first pushing member abuts against the spring tab to be deformed, and the spring tab connects to the stationary contact. The light emitting member is in a power on state. When the support arm is rotated to a second position, the second pushing member abuts against the spring tab to be deformed, and the spring tab disengages from the stationary contact. The light emitting member is in a power off state.
