Patent number: 9810413Abstract: A torch (flashlight) and a method for producing a torch housing and a torch head provides a torch which is of simple design and is robust. The torch has a rotary switch, in which torch clear classification of the selected function is possible, so that regular function monitoring can be dispensed with. The torch housing and the torch head can be connected in a captive manner and so as to be rotated in relation to one another to form a rotary switch having different switching states. Markings are arranged on the housing and on the lamp head. The markings allowing clear classification of the switching states. After the torch is first assembled and after the torch is first switched on, to clearly define the switching states by in each case a torch-head-side and a housing-side marking for subsequent switch-on processes.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: ZWEIBRÜDER OPTOELECTRONICS GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Erich Buhl

Patent number: 9647473Abstract: Provided herein is an improved apparatus and system for providing a flashlight and charging base system. The flashlight of may include a light source, a power source having a charge level, a housing defining a major axis along which the housing extends, an adjustable ring disposed about the housing, where the adjustable ring is configured to be rotated between at least two positions, where each of the at least two positions define a different mode of operation, and a switch located proximate the barrel, where the switch is configured to turn the flashlight on and off. The adjustable ring may include a magnet, where the housing includes a Hall effect sensor, where the at least two positions of the adjustable ring are recognized by the position of the magnet relative to the Hall effect sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignees: Zweibruder Optoelectronics GmbH & Co. KG, LED LENSER Corp. Ltd.Inventors: Stefan Feustel, Andre Kunzendorf

Patent number: 9249964Abstract: A multi-purpose illumination device and a system and method for operating a multi-purpose illumination device are provided herein. A multi-purpose illumination device may include a lamp housing and a light source disposed within the lamp housing. The lamp housing may include a front, a back, a top, and a bottom, with the light from the light source projecting from the front of the lamp housing. The lamp housing may further define an air channel with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet may be defined in the front of the lamp housing. The air outlet may be defined in the top of the lamp housing. Some embodiments may include a heat sink disposed within the lamp housing, where the air channel is at least partially defined by the heat sink. The heat sink may include at least one heat-dissipating fin disposed within the air channel.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Zweibruder Optoelectronics GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Sven Hansen, Andre Kunzendorf, Tobias Schleder
