Abstract: A collapsible worklight assembly comprises a head assembly and a multi-legged support assembly. The head assembly includes first and second worklights hingedly attached to each other, allowing the head assembly to be open in a deployed configuration and closed in a collapsed configuration. The head assembly is hingedly attached to the multi-legged support assembly. The multi-legged support assembly includes a support head and a plurality of support legs. The support head includes a hinged connection to the head assembly that allows the plurality of support legs to rotate towards the head assembly in a collapsed configuration and away from the head assembly in a deployed configuration.

Abstract: A method of laser welding which controls the shifts inherent in laser welding by utilizing physical force and multiple welds. The parts are carefully aligned, and then a first laser weld utilizing symmetric simultaneous balanced beams is accomplished. Mechanical force is then applied. While maintaining the mechanical force additional laser welds are accomplished thus securing the element while maintaining proper alignment.
