  • Patent number: 11506829
    Abstract: A light-transmissible element and a lamp device using the light-transmissible element are provided. The light-transmissible element includes a light-inputting surface, a first light-outputting surface, a second light-outputting surface and plural microstructures. The first light-outputting surface and the second light-outputting surface are located beside two opposite sides of the light-inputting surface. The plural microstructures are formed on the second light-outputting surface. The plural light beams from the light-inputting surface are received and refracted by the plural microstructures. Consequently, a luminous flux of the light beams received and refracted by each first refractive surface is higher than a luminous flux of the light beams received and refracted by each second refractive surface. Due to this design, the light extraction efficiency of the overall lamp device is increased, the light output range is adjustable and the generation of the light spots is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11035554
    Abstract: A motion sensitive lamp with a coupling mechanism is provided. The motion sensitive lamp is installed on a wall or a ceiling. The motion sensitive lamp at least includes a lamp body, a base and a coupling mechanism. A coupling mechanism includes an engaging structure, a positioning structure and a limiting element. One of the engaging structure and the positioning structure is installed on the lamp body. The other of the engaging structure and the positioning structure is installed on the base. The engaging structure is inserted into the positioning structure, so that the lamp body is locked on or coupled with the base. When an external force is applied to the limiting element, the external force results in a displacement of the limiting element, so that the limiting element is inserted into one of the base and the lamp body.

    Abstract: An optically controlled lighting group includes a plurality of optically controlled lighting devices, each of which includes a lighting main body, a dimming time controller and an optical detector. The light source is turned on during an on period corresponding to an on dimming signal, and the light source is turned off during an off period corresponding to the off dimming signal. If the ambient light intensity detected by the optical detector is different from a predetermined value, the light source is controlled by the dimming time controller. The light sources of the optically controlled lighting devices are sequentially and alternately enabled to illuminate at specified time intervals, and each of the specified time interval is shorter than the time period for producing persistence of vision.

  • Patent number: 9360170
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting diode bulb with a glare shield structure. It uses a glare shield structure to separate the sensor from the light emitting diode. A joggle structure or a sleeve structure is used for the glare shield structure to separately match the separated condenser lens and the lamp base to form glare shield means to prevent the sensor from being interfered by irradiated, refracted or reflected light from the light emitting diode. The structure is simple to be assembled and the cost of assembling is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9357619
    Abstract: A sheet processing device includes a supporting plate, a stapler, a casing, a protrusion structure, and a swinging arm. The casing is disposed over the supporting plate. A sheet conveying channel is formed between the supporting plate and the casing. The protrusion structure is disposed on a lower surface of the casing, located beside the stapler and accommodated within the sheet conveying channel. During the process of introducing a sheet into the supporting plate, the stapled side of the sheet is flattened by the protrusion structure, and thus the possibility of upturning the sheet is minimized. During the process of introducing the plural sheets to the stapler, the stapled sides of the plural sheets are flattened by the protrusion structure, and thus the formation of the folded corners of the sheets is avoided.
