Patent number: 10962210Abstract: A headlamp which includes a pivoting lamp body is presented. The headlamp includes a support with a fixing for a retaining strip on the head of a user. The support has a horizontal base, a first left lateral part and a first right lateral part perpendicular to the base of the support. A lamp body has a light source associated with electrical circuits allowing the control and regulation of the light source. The lamp body is housed between the first and second lateral parts. The lamp body is fixed to the support by means of a mechanical connection combining a pivot function and a translation function to hold the lamp body as close as possible to the support.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Zedel S.A.S.Inventors: Tiphaine Gagneux, Raphael Bortolotti

Patent number: 10178743Abstract: A portable lamp, such as a headlamp, comprising wireless bidirectional communication means for exchanging configuration instructions, parameters and/or data with at least one mobile information processing system. This mobile processing system establishes a downlink for the transmission of said configuration instructions, parameters and/or data to the lamp. The lamp can establish an uplink for the transmission of configuration instructions, parameters and/or data from the lamp to said mobile information processing system.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: ZedelInventors: Raphael Bortolotti, Christophe Marie

Patent number: 10012372Abstract: A headlamp with a light source, an electrical power source and several states controlling power sources and light beams is presented. The first state corresponds to at least one activated state in which the electrical power source is coupled to a light source to generate a light beam. The second state corresponds to a deactivated state where the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated. The third state corresponds to a locked state in which the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated; Also included is a switching mechanism to receive a first and a second physical user input through one switching element. A processor is coupled to the switching mechanism and is used to select one among the first, second and third states in response to the physical user inputs.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: ZedelInventors: Christophe Marie, Raphael Bortolotti
