  • Patent number: 10544926
    Abstract: A headlamp is disclosed with a lamp fitted with a light source; a headband allowing the fastening of the headlamp over the head of a user, where the headband has a constant length, symmetrical with respect to a median sagittal plane. The headband also has an alternation of rigid/semi rigid elements for allowing a deformation in the space and the adjustment on the user's head is presented. In addition, the headband has a rigid/semi-rigid front section allowing a certain deformability along a first plane (x, y), a rigid/semi-rigid intermediate section allowing a certain deformability along a second plane (x, z) and a rigid/semi-rigid rear section allowing a certain deformability along a third plane (y, z). The headband has elements for the attachment and the passage of an elastic link for constraining the deformation of the rigid/semi rigid headband within the three planes.

  • Patent number: 10533739
    Abstract: A headlamp which contains a lamp is disclosed, with a headband enabling the lamp to be held on the head of a user is presented. The headband has a rigid/semi-rigid front section supporting the lamp using a pivot liaison. The pivot liaison allows rotation having: a first amplitude of at least 0 to +30 degrees and preferably 0 to 45 degrees to provide appropriate illumination when the lamp is worn in a conventional manner around the head. A second amplitude ranging from at least 0 to ?45 degrees, and preferably 0 to ?80 degrees provides appropriate illumination when the lamp is worn around the neck without being inverted. The 0 degree inclination corresponds to the pivot of the lamp which generates a horizontal light beam when the headlamp is positioned on the head of a standing user with the eyes fixing the horizon.

  • Patent number: 8845121
    Abstract: A power supply unit including an accumulator, a back support body with means configured for holding the back support body on a user's head and connect to a lighting device, at least one first module provided with a USB connector, and means for removably securing the at least one first module to the back support body. The back support body also includes a hollow element for receiving the connector, such hollow element being mounted so as to pivot around a transverse axis of the back support body.

  • Publication number: 20120250295
    Abstract: A portable lamp includes a front lighting device, a power supply unit including an accumulator (58) and a supply and communication USB connector (62), and a back support body. The power supply unit includes at least one first module (50) provided with the USB connector (62), said first module comprising removable fixing means (72) for the fixation on the back support body, in order to define respective positions of fixation and separation, while forming a housing (80) for receiving and protecting the connector (62) when it is in the position of fixation. The back support body (10) comprises a hollow element (22) for receiving the connector (62), said hollow element being mounted so as to pivot around a transverse axis (A).

  • Patent number: 7810946
    Abstract: A lighting lamp having an enclosure housing a DC power source and contact parts for connection to a printed circuit card connected with a light-emitting diode. The contact parts comprise first contact elements electrically connected with the power source and second contact elements designed to pass successively through a pair of holes situated in a tight intermediate wall of the enclosure and a through a pair of slots of the card. Soldering of the second contact elements onto the card, in addition to electric connection of the power source, enables a tightly sealed compartment to be achieved in the enclosure around the card.

  • Patent number: 6979098
    Abstract: A portable electric torch comprises a lighting module with light-emitting diodes, and optical transmission means mounted swivelling around a swivel pin securely fixed to the housing. The optical transmission means can be a colored filter or a lens able to be actuated with a limited swivelling movement between an inactive position away from the diodes and an active position situated facing the diodes. The swivel pin is horizontal being placed back from and under the diodes, and extends parallel to the direction of alignment of at least two diodes.
