发明名称 Light Bulb Installation and Removal Tool
摘要 An installation and removal tool for light bulbs and similar items comprising modular and interchangeable attachment heads, a pole, an articulating joint, and an extraction head. Attachment heads comprise a gripping unit and a handle and are each configured to cooperate with one or more light bulb shapes and/or sizes and further comprises an adhesive system. Several embodiments of the gripping unit comprise a bulb cavity with an engagement surface and a release lip and an adhesive system mounted on the engagement surface such that an air channel is created surrounding the adhesive system. The adhesive system comprises pressure sensitive adhesive and preferably defines an opening in fluid communication with a bore defined by the handle to accommodate extended and oddly shaped bulbs. A protective liner that cooperates with the adhesive component to preserve the functionality of the adhesive when it is not in use.

主权项 1. A light bulb installation and removal tool comprising: a. A handle comprising an outer surface, a proximal end, and a distal end and defining at least one hollow bore at its distal end; and b. a gripping unit comprising: i. a substantially circular bulb cavity fixedly attached to the handle at its distal end, wherein the bulb cavity comprises an engagement surface configured to cooperate with the distal end of a light bulb, a substantially continuous release lip surrounding the bulb cavity at its circumference and configured to facilitate release of the light bulb from the gripping unit, and a bulb cavity opening defined by the bulb cavity and in fluid communication with the hollow bore defined by the handle; andii. an adhesive system comprising a mounting component attached to the bulb cavity engagement surface, an adhesive component comprising a pressure sensitive adhesive and removably attached to the mounting component, and a release liner removably attached to the pressure sensitive adhesive of the adhesive component, wherein the adhesive system is configured to cover only a portion of the engagement surface such that an air channel is defined around the outer edge of the adhesive system by the engagement surface, release lip, and outer edge of the adhesive system.
