Pivoted Lamp Or Lamp Support Patents (Class 362/427)
  • Patent number: 12085264
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a portable magnetic lighting fixture having a housing, a light source component configured for emitting light, accommodated within the housing, a supporting base configured for supporting the housing, and a magnetic adjustment component having a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member for magnetically coupling with the first magnetic member on the housing for controlling the angular adjustment of the housing. The coordination of the first and second magnetic members enables relative rotation as the housing and supporting base rotate. The magnetic force between the first and second magnetic members allows for stable adjustment to any angle without the need for toothed engagement. The absence of collisions during the relative movement of the first and second magnetic members reduces noise generated during rotation.

  • Publication number: 20150023031
    Abstract: To provide a support for supporting a flexible component and a light-emitting device. A first substrate, a second substrate, a rack, a pinion, and a hinge are provided. When the second substrate is moved, the rotational force of the pinion is transmitted to the rack of the first substrate and thus the first substrate is moved in the horizontal direction while being overlapped with one of hinge pieces of the hinge; accordingly, the flexible component can be bent while the flexible component is fixed to the first substrate and the second substrate and the allowable curvature radius is maintained in the vicinity of the hinge.
