When the support arm is rotated to a second position, the second pushing member abuts against the spring tab to be deformed, and the spring tab disengages from the stationary contact. The light emitting member is in a power off state.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2010Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Wen-Hsiang Lu, Huai-Shan Gu, Ting Dong, Li-Tao Zhang

Patent number: 8262265Abstract: A lamp device includes a supporting housing connected fixedly to a base disposed on a supporting surface, and having an inclined top surface inclined with respect to the supporting surface. A lamp-mounting housing is connected pivotally to the supporting housing, has an inclined connecting surface parallel to and facing the inclined top surface of the supporting housing, and is rotatable relative to the supporting housing about a pivot axis perpendicular to the inclined top surface of the supporting housing between a first position, where the supporting housing cooperates with the lamp-mounting housing to constitute an upright structure, and a second position, where the supporting housing cooperates with the lamp-mounting housing to constitute a bent structure. A lamp unit is mounted to the lamp-mounting housing such that the lamp unit emits light toward the supporting surface when the lamp-mounting housing is at the second position.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Habitex CorporationInventor: Duan-Cheng Hsieh

Patent number: 8220968Abstract: A mount adjustable end cap clamp lock used with an adjustable light source with one or both ends collared by a barrel-type end, which is rotatable within an end cap. The end cap has a mounting surface that works in conjunction with a fastener to secure the lighting system to an object. The clamp pad, which may extend beyond the mounting surface, is slidable relative to the end cap. When the fastener is tightened, the clamp pad slides relative to the end cap to press against the barrel to lock the barrel in angular position and secure the light source from rotating when the fastener is tightened to secure the lighting system to an object. The end cap in conjunction with the clamp pad serves a dual purpose.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: ITC Inc.Inventors: Richard Hartmann, Jr., Michael K VanDuinen
