Hands-free multi-positional task light and method of use thereof

摘要

A hands-free multi-positional task light having an elongated light emitting portion utilizing one or more fluorescent tubes and/or light emitting diodes, a wide retractable and fully rotatable mounting hook, a free-standing base capable of maintaining stability when positioned on surfaces up to 20 degrees from horizontal, and a mounting clamp attached via a ball and socket joint serving as a mounting method, a means to attach alternate mounting devices such as magnets or additional hooks, a makeshift base, or a stabilizing weight while providing two degrees of movement and a clamp band providing a third degree of movement for nearly unlimited aiming for hands-free use.

主权项

1. A portable luminaire assembly comprising:
a clamp; a circumferential collar comprising a pivot receiver, wherein the clamp is pivotably secured to the collar pivot receiver, wherein the clamp is capable of vertical freedom of movement with respect to the collar, and wherein the clamp is capable of 360 degree rotational freedom of movement with respect to the collar; and an elongated housing comprising a translucent tube extending along a longitudinal axis, a base and an elongated lamp; wherein the base is positioned perpendicularly with respect to the elongated housing longitudinal axis, wherein the elongated lamp extends within the translucent tube and projects light through the translucent tube in a single perpendicular direction with respect to the elongated housing longitudinal axis, wherein, said circumferential collar is rotatably secured about the elongated housing, wherein said base comprises a width along at least one horizontal axis that is greater than the translucent tube width, wherein the base is capable of supporting the elongated housing and the clamp in a vertical position with respect to a predetermined surface.
