  • Publication number: 20120182724
    Abstract: A low profile lighting apparatus is characterized by a battery housing, a rail-engaging plate connected to the housing by a pair of arms, and a recessed activating push-button located between the arms and adjacent the rail-engaging plate. A flexible resilient tab, also recessed between the arms, secures the apparatus to a rail. A lock-out switch is built into a plug for closing an end of the housing. The plug has three discrete rotational positions, one for attachment, a second for activation of an illumination source, and a third for preventing accidental activation of the illumination source by requiring simultaneous axial pressure and rotation. Instead of the plug, a hinged door having a sliding latch part can be utilized. The sliding latch part includes a pair of resilient legs that cooperate with surfaces inside the door to urge the latch part toward a latching condition.

  • Patent number: 8201979
    Abstract: A collapsible lighting device has a main body surrounded by a collar whose position is adjustable along the longitudinal axis of the main body. Pivotally connected or hinged legs are attached to the collar and to the main body with struts. When the collar is on one position, the legs deploy outward from the main body to the extent permitted by the struts, thereby allowing the legs to support the collapsible lighting device upright. A lamp head is attached to a member which telescope from the main body. When deployed, the lamp head can be switched on to provide illumination. When the collar is another position, the legs are drawn in toward the main body to form a cylindrical shape. The lam head can be positioned so that when the telescoping member is retracted into the main body, the collar surrounds the exterior of the lamp head, thus protecting the lamp head for transport.

  • Patent number: 8152325
    Abstract: A reflective surface electric road flare designed to be positioned on a roadway and to emit light to alert oncoming drivers to a hazard on the roadway. The flare comprises a housing supporting a circuit. The circuit comprises an led light source, a power controller and a power supply. The power controller energizes the led light source with the power supply such that the led light source emits light according to its design specification. The emitted light is concentrated about the horizontal by a lens into a horizontal light beam visible throughout the azimuth. Concentrating the emitted light into a horizontal light beam increases its intensity as perceived by oncoming drivers located within the projected horizontal light beam. A portion of the horizontal light beam intersects a top surface of the road flare where it is reflected towards oncoming vehicles.

    Abstract: A safety signalling device is conveniently and clearly positionable upon a person or upon a vehicle upon which a person is riding in order to assure said person of a most highest quality of safety warning in relation to effects of traffic conditions. For example, whether he is walking along a street, or jogging, or riding a bicycle or motorcycle, he may always place the safety device at a position which he considers to be the most clearly visible for any motorized traffic. The multiplicity of light-emitting diodes are extremely visible to said traffic. The choice of colored diodes, such as amber or red, may be made to conform to a particular signal.

  • Publication number: 20110149561
    Abstract: A radiation shielded syringe includes primarily an outer shell, a power supply socket and an illuminating element. An interior of the outer shell defines a holding space to accommodate the syringe, a side of the outer shell defines a piece of glass (lead glass) through which medicine in the syringe can be clearly observed, and an inner wall of the outer shell defines a groove for putting the illuminating element. An end of the outer shell defines a seat which is assembled with the power supply socket and the power supply socket is electrically connected with the illuminating element. When observing a dosage of the medicine, the illuminating element is activated and the dosage is observed through the glass. Therefore, the radiation shielded syringe enables the dosage to be effectively, conveniently and clearly observed and is equipped with a radiation protection function at a same time.

  • Publication number: 20110134632
    Abstract: A flashlight has a handle assembly and a lens cover. The handle assembly has a housing, a heat sink and en electrical unit. The housing has a front end. The heat sink is mounted in the housing and has a front end and a rear end. The electrical unit is mounted in the housing and detachably mounted on the rear end of the heat sink. The lens cover is securely mounted on the front end of the housing and has an LED element mounted securely on the heat sink. The lens cover has an LED electrically connected with the electrical unit with wires. Because the LED element and the electrical unit are separated by the heat sink, heat generated from the LED can be dissipated though the heat sink, instead of being directly conducted to the electrical unit and damaging the electrical unit.

  • Publication number: 20110122605
    Abstract: A collapsible lighting device has a main body surrounded by a collar whose position is adjustable along the longitudinal axis of the main body. Pivotally connected or hinged legs are attached to the collar and to the main body with struts. When the collar is on one position, the legs deploy outward from the main body to the extent permitted by the struts, thereby allowing the legs to support the collapsible lighting device upright. A lamp head is attached to a member which telescope from the main body. When deployed, the lamp head can be switched on to provide illumination. When the collar is another position, the legs are drawn in toward the main body to form a cylindrical shape. The lam head can be positioned so that when the telescoping member is retracted into the main body, the collar surrounds the exterior of the lamp head, thus protecting the lamp head for transport.

  • Publication number: 20110085324
    Abstract: This invention provides a flashlight in which locating slots for constraining and fixing conductive strips are provided in a plastic housing. The conductive strips are connected with a conductive heat dissipation element of a light source body and a conductive seat at the tail portion of the plastic housing, and are turned on by the conductive seat and a smart controller such that variation of the light emitted from the light source body is controlled by the smart controller. In addition, the conductive heat dissipation element of the light source body is assembled with the front cover having heat dissipation effect so that the heat dissipation of the light source body is facilitated and hence the lifetime of the light source body is extended.

  • Publication number: 20110063825
    Abstract: A cupulate light essentially contains a light assembly and a suction assembly spirally installed on the light assembly. A casing disposed on the soft suction member compresses the periphery of the suction member to prevent an air leak out of the periphery thereof, which enhances the suction capability of the product. Such parts reasonably designed as the transparent lampshade, positioning lampshade, and battery container are sequentially installed into the housing. Therefore, the positioning lampshade and the transparent lampshade limited in the housing through the battery case would conduce to a great assembling efficiency. The light and suction assemblies in detachment enhance an efficient replacement by merely changing broken parts thereof, which prevents the waste of entire product and the unnecessary wastefulness to achieve an efficiency of energy saving and environment protecting.

  • Patent number: 7905623
    Abstract: An illumination device for tool (e.g., screw driver) includes a housing comprising a battery compartment an inverted V-shaped cavity on an underside, two opposite slit projections on a bottom edge, and a cover including a flat on a circumferential surface; a strap having one end hingedly secured to one projection and comprising a hook and loop fabric fastener at the other end; first, second, and third magnetic members on the housing; and a light emitting assembly mounted in the housing and comprising two LEDs projecting out of the housing. A screw driver can be disposed in the inverted V-shaped cavity and adhered to the first magnetic members such that causing the strap to support the screw driver from below and wrapping the strap around the other projection to secure to the hook and loop fabric fastener will secure the screw driver and the housing together.
