Patent number: 8267556Abstract: An exemplary lamp includes a first member, a second member, and buckle assemblies securing the first member on the second member. Each buckle assembly includes a connecting member having an end thereof pivotally connected to the second member, a buckle having an end thereof pivotally connected to an opposite end of the connecting member and having an opposite end thereof clasping the first member to the second member, and a knob. Each buckle assembly has a dead point. When the buckle is flapped towards the connecting member and a pivoted end between the buckle and the connecting member passes through the dead point to get close to the second member, the knob extends through the buckle. Then the knob is rotated along a predetermined direction to press on the buckle, thereby preventing the pivoted end from moving away from the second member.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignees: Fu Zhun Precision Industry (Shen Zhen) Co., Ltd., Foxconn Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: You-Xue Liu

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: 8251558Abstract: A vehicular headlamp system and corresponding kit, including (left and right) headlamps and a mode switch (control mechanism) responsive to inputs from a mode switch console or other user interface arrangements, the combination of headlamps and mode switch providing high and low beam on-road illumination and a higher level of illumination for off-road illumination using the same light source in each headlamp as is used for the on-road illumination. Cooperation between a light source driver circuit in each headlamp and the mode switch results in the light source in each headlamp being driven by more or less current, as required by the selected mode. A (daytime) running lights mode of operation may also be provided using the same light source.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Ibis Tek, LLCInventors: David E.

Patent number: 8240895Abstract: An LED light fixture includes a post having a fixing bar at a top end thereof, a first lamp mounted on the fixing bar, and a second lamp rotatably mounted on the fixing bar. The first and second lamps are capable of rotating with respect to the fixing bar to change an angle between the first and second lamps, to thereby change an illumination area and intensity distribution of the LED light fixture. In one position, the second lamp overlaps the first lamp, and LED light sources in the first lamp are alternate with those of the second lamp.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hou-Yao Lin, Sheng-Jung Yu

Patent number: RE44196Abstract: An adjustable mount for use with light fixtures that are scaled to prevent entry of moisture and contaminants. O-ring seals are utilized to connect and seal the components of the adjustable mount so that it is not a source of moisture or loss of vacuum. The adjustable mount is a knuckle-type mount that connects a light fixture with a junction box or other source of electrical power. The adjustable mount provides a full range of vertical and rotational angles without damaging the electrical wiring that is sealed inside the mount. Frictional connections in the mount allow the lighting angle to be set without the necessity of tightening the set screws which connect the components together.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2004Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: B-K Lighting, Inc.Inventor: Douglas W.
