Inflatable solar-powered light

摘要

An inflatable solar-powered light is disclosed. In some embodiments, the inflatable solar-powered light includes the following: an expandable bladder including a plurality of surfaces; a solar-powered light assembly positioned on at least one of the plurality of surfaces of the bladder; and one or more cover portions positioned over the assembly and joined with the at least one of the plurality of surfaces of the bladder around its edges, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the at least one or more cover portions is substantially transparent and each of the one or more cover portions forms a substantially waterproof envelope with the at least one of the plurality of surfaces of the bladder in which the solar-powered light assembly is contained.

主权项

1. An inflatable solar-powered light, comprising:
an expandable bladder having a plurality of surfaces that include a first plastic surface sealed at its edges and a second plastic surface opposed to the first plastic surface and sealed at its edges, the expandable bladder having a collapsed state and an expanded state; and a solar-powered light assembly positioned on the first plastic surface and having:
a circuit board,a rechargeable battery electrically connected to the circuit board,a solar panel on a first side of the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board, and positioned to aim outside the bladder in the collapsed state and the expanded state,at least one light-emitting diode opposed to the solar panel and attached to a second side of the circuit board to aim toward the second plastic surface when the bladder is in the collapsed state and the expanded state, wherein a substantially transparent cover portion covers the solar panel and circuit board, and is substantially waterproof, and wherein the first surface and the second surface lie flat adjacent each other when the bladder is collapsed.
