Patent number: 11002430Abstract: A sliding lamp includes a base having an electric conductive unit, a driving mechanism disposed on the base, and a slider having a light source and a light emitting area for emitting light out. The slider is disposed on the base in a way that the driving mechanism is capable of driving the slider to slide between a closed position and a wide-open position. When the slider is at the closed position, the light emitting area is completely covered and the light source is electrically disconnected from the electric conductive unit. In the process that the slider slides from the closed position to the wide-open position, the light source is electrically connected with the electric conductive unit and the light emitting area is gradually exposed. Therefore, the sliding lamp is turned on/off or adjusted in brightness by sliding and thereby changed in shape thereof at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Inventor: Bradley N.
