  • Patent number: 4692845
    Abstract: A flip-over bracket includes two channel-shaped members connected together by means of a hinge having one leaf thereof secured to one of said channel-shaped members and the other leaf thereof secured to the other of said channel-shaped members. A pair of coil springs act in a manner so that said second channel-shaped member is pulled into an overlapping relationship with said first channel-shaped member to aim an auxiliary lamp mounted on said second channel-shaped member in one direction or to cause said second channel-shaped member to assume an extended relationship with said first channel-shaped member to aim said auxiliary lamp in an opposite direction. In this way, when the bracket is mounted on the roll bar of a pickup truck, each bracket having an auxiliary lamp mounted thereon can be flipped through 180.degree. so that its auxiliary lamp will direct light either forwardly or rearwardly.
