  • Patent number: 11268681
    Abstract: A headlamp with—a headband; a light source located at the front of the headband is presented. The headlamp has a load balancing device with two strands. The first strand has a first end (A) and a second end (B) respectively attached on one left front fixing point and one left rear fixing point of said headband. The second strand has a first end (A?) and a second end (B?) respectively attached on one right front fixing point and one right rear fixing point of said headband. There is an element wherein the first and second strands are thread up so as to bring closer the two strands at one common point C.

  • Patent number: 10962210
    Abstract: A headlamp which includes a pivoting lamp body is presented. The headlamp includes a support with a fixing for a retaining strip on the head of a user. The support has a horizontal base, a first left lateral part and a first right lateral part perpendicular to the base of the support. A lamp body has a light source associated with electrical circuits allowing the control and regulation of the light source. The lamp body is housed between the first and second lateral parts. The lamp body is fixed to the support by means of a mechanical connection combining a pivot function and a translation function to hold the lamp body as close as possible to the support.

  • Patent number: 9648692
    Abstract: A portable lamp, such as a headlamp, having control of the light power without the need for any manual switch is presented. The lamp comprises a power module for powering one or more light sources, first proximity detectors for detecting an object such as a finger moving close to the lamp, in one direction or another along a first axis X-X; and a control module receiving information generated by said first proximity detectors, said control module being configured for generating, from the direction of the movement of said object, a control information for switching-on, switching-off or adjusting the level of the intensity of the light power.

  • Patent number: 9469241
    Abstract: A portable lamp, such as a headlamp is presented. The lamp contains a light source comprising one or more sources for generating at least one light beam; a means for controlling the brightness of said at least one beam in response to a control information or a control signal; and a control unit for the purpose of generating said control information or said control signal. The control unit contains a photo sensor and a regulation circuit controlling a switch-off phase of one or more beams during a period not visible to the holder of the lamp. The switch off phase being combined with at least one measure of diversity made by means of the photo sensor(s) on the reflective ambient environment.
