An arm is secured to the leg and has a light source at its end. The arm and upright can be pivoted about various axes to allow the light source to be positioned arbitrarily to various positions. A support mechanism is provided inside the upright and the arm. The mechanism includes coil springs that are selectively compressed as the arm and upright are moved to generate supporting forces. The arm and upright does maintain their position and do not fall over after the light source has been positioned to the desired location.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2013Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: SONNEMAN-A WAY OF LIGHTInventors: Peter POLICK, Robert A.

Patent number: 8602612Abstract: An electrically conductive ball joint and lighting fixtures using the joint are disclosed. The joint has a ball with a first portion connected to a first electrical signal and a second portion connected to a second electrical signal. The first and second portions are electrically isolated from one another by a nonconductive bushing. A socket receives the ball and has a first set of electrical contacts adapted to make contact with the first portion of the ball and a second set of electrical contacts adapted to make contact with the second portion of the ball. The two portions of the ball are unequal, with one portion being larger than the other. The lighting fixtures generally comprise a base and two or more arms connected to the base. The arms are connected to one another electrically and structurally with the electrically conductive ball joints, and may be counterweighted.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Inventors: Peter Stathis, Derrick Hurst

Publication number: 20130322100Abstract: Highly visible detented light mounts for trucks or trailers have light fixtures of selected configurations coupled by rotatable arms to rigid, tubular stands. Each stand is axially biased to a rigid, tubular spring housing by an internal core-drilled fastener that coaxially secures an internal spring. The stand and spring housing can have different lengths and configurations. A pair of friction washers, one on the stand and the other on the housing, mutually abut. Protrusions on one washer register with corresponding dimples or depressions on another washer to cause a detent effect. The housing and the stands may in each embodiment be torsionally displaced against friction caused by the spring biased washers that interfit to form radially spaced-part semi-fixed “detented” positions. Various washer configurations are proposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Inventor: Terry W. Lowry

Publication number: 20130322099Abstract: Disclosed herein is a light fixture locking mechanism that includes a frame assembly having a first primary rod support and a second primary rod support, a first connecting rod having a first end and a second end, the ends extending substantially between the first primary rod support and the second primary rod support, and a plurality of aiming assemblies, each configured to receive the first connecting rod therethrough, the aiming assemblies including opposing engaging protrusions. The device further includes a first fastener, that when in a fastened position, the first and second primary rod supports are forced inwards towards each other to provide an engaging force on the opposing engaging portions of the aiming assemblies to prevent rotation of the first light module about the first connecting rod, and when in an unfastened position, the first and second light modules are both rotatable about the first connecting rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: PHOENIX PRODUCTS COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Robert Kenneth Yasuji Fletcher, Erwin W.

Publication number: 20130322084Abstract: Alighting device includes a decoration frame, a light source unit, and a rotating ring. The decoration frame has a cylindrical shape in which a through-hole is formed. The light source unit is mounted with a light-emitting element. The rotating ring includes a supporting section configured to support the light source unit to be capable of rotating about a rotation axis that connects opposed positions of an inner wall of the rotating ring, a first annular section configured to form an inner wall that is flush with the through-hole of the decoration frame and slide on the edge of the through-hole to be capable of pivoting integrally with the light source unit, and a second annular section formed in an inner diameter larger than the inner diameter of the first annular section and configured to surround at least a part of the outer wall of the decoration frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2012Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: Toshiba Lighting & Technology CorporationInventor: Osamu EBISAWA

Patent number: 8585260Abstract: An illumination device of the present invention is used for illuminating an environment, such as a house, a class room, and the like, wherein electricity is in high demand and not affordable to some extent. The illumination device includes at least two units. Each unit presents a male connector and a female connector to mate with one another as more light is required and disassembled from one another to reduce illumination of the environment. A bracket connected to each unit is movable about the unit for placing the unit on a surface, such as a floor, a wall, or a ceiling, and for positioning the unit relative to the environment to be illuminated. A pedal generator capable of attaching and simultaneously charging multiple battery-containing units makes the illumination device useful in areas where electricity is scarce. The illumination device is cost effective and easy to manufacture, transport, and assemble.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Nuru Energy Design and DevelopmentInventors: Sameer Hajee, Simon Tremeer, Barry Whitmill

Publication number: 20130301284Abstract: A device for fixing a warning lamp of a construction machine according to the present invention is disposed on a side of a frame of an operating compartment, and includes an upper sleeve, a fixing bracket, a lower sleeve, a supporting lever, an upper elastic member, and a lower elastic member. The supporting lever spaces the upper sleeve apart from the lower sleeve by a certain distance, and rotatably supports the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve. The upper elastic member and the lower elastic member are coupled to both side ends of the supporting lever to elastically support the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve respectively, and are coupled in a multi-joint structure. When the construction machine is on a construction site in wet weather, or is kept on a certain site, the warning lamp can be adjusted to various postures.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2010Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: VOLVO CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ABInventor: Seong-Yoon Na
