Abstract
An illumination system includes a light and a holder. The light includes: an illumination part from which light is emitted; a fixing part connected to the illumination part; and a battery mounting part to and from which a battery pack is attached and detached. The holder includes: a holder body; an attachment part connected to the holder body and to be attached to a subject; and an annular clamp unit connected to the holder body and disposed around the fixing part.
Claims15
An illumination system comprising:
- a light including:
- an illumination part from which light is emitted;
- a fixing part connected to the illumination part;
- and a battery mounting part to and from which a battery pack is attached and detached;
- and
- a holder including:
- a holder body;
- an attachment part connected to the holder body and to be attached to a subject;
- and a clamp unit connected to the holder body and disposed around the fixing part, wherein
- the light includes a rotation unit that connects the illumination part and the battery mounting part in a relatively rotatable manner.
A light to be held by a holder, the light comprising:
- an illumination part from which light is emitted;
- a battery mounting part to and from which a battery pack is attached and detached;
- a fixing part connected to the illumination part and to be held by a clamp unit provided in a holder, the holder being for holding the light and having an attachment part to be attached to a subject;
- and
- a rotation unit that connects the illumination part and the battery mounting part coaxially with a rotation axis of the rotation unit in a relatively rotatable manner about the rotation axis, wherein
- the battery pack is attached to and detached from the battery mounting part by being moved in a direction parallel to a predetermined attachment/detachment axis with respect to the battery mounting part, and
- the rotation axis and the attachment/detachment axis are orthogonal to each other.
A holder for holding a light, the holder comprising:
- a holder body;
- an attachment part connected to the holder body and to be attached to a subject;
- and
- a clamp unit that is connected to the holder body and holds at least a part of the light including a battery mounting part to and from which a battery pack is attached and detached, wherein
- the attachment part includes a first attachment part and a second attachment part,
- the holder includes an extendable unit that connects the first attachment part and the second attachment part in a relatively movable manner,
- the light includes an illumination part from which light is emitted and a fixing part connected to the illumination part,
- the clamp unit holds the fixing part,
- the clamp unit includes:
- a base part to be disposed at a part of a circumference of the fixing part;
- an arm turnably connected to a first end of the base part;
- a lock lever that is movably supported by a second end of the base part and is capable of locking the arm;
- and
- a spring that applies an elastic force to the lock lever,
- the lock lever is movable between a lock position at which the arm is locked and a release position at which the arm is unlocked, and
- the spring applies the elastic force to the lock lever in such a manner that the lock lever moves toward the lock position.
