Abstract
A portable lighting device has an upright configuration and a folded configuration. In the upright configuration, the portable lighting device provides lighting directed to a workspace area. In the folded configuration, the legs of the portable lighting device are rotated into a compact position for transport or storage. The portable lighting device includes lugs to hold one or more objects, which helps increase the surface area of the workspace. The portable lighting device is suitable for different uses of tradespersons and hobbyists. For example, a user can use the portable lighting device while working on radio-controlled car or electrical or hardware repairs.
Claims14
A portable lighting device comprising:
- an upper structure having a top side and a bottom side and comprising two or more horizontal beams rigidly coupled to each other;
- a first set of legs coupled to a first side of the upper structure at a first pivot point and including a first hard stop, wherein the first set of legs rotates about the first pivot point until the first hard stop contacts the top side of the upper structure in an upright configuration of the portable lighting device;
- a second set of legs coupled to a second side of the upper structure opposite of the first side and at a second pivot point, wherein the second set of legs rotates about the second pivot point until contacting a second hard stop coupled to the top side of the upper structure in the upright configuration;
- and
- a lighting component coupled to the bottom side of the upper structure, wherein light from the lighting component is directed to an area underneath the upper structure and between the first set of legs and the second set of legs when the portable lighting device is in the upright configuration,
- wherein, in a folded configuration of the portable lighting device, the first set of legs is rotated about the first pivot point until the first set of legs is approximately parallel to the two or more horizontal beams, and the second set of legs is rotated about the second pivot point until the second set of legs is approximately parallel to the two or more horizontal beams, and
- wherein the second pivot point remains at a fixed distance from the first pivot point when the portable lighting device changes from the upright configuration to the folded configuration.
