Abstract
A portable neck light includes a neck band having an arm extending to a distal end, the distal end defining a rotation axis. A light head is coupled to the distal end of the arm. A shaft is coupled to the light head and the neck band to allow rotation of the light head relative to the neck band about the rotation axis within a rotation plane. The light head is supported for continuous movement within an angular range of motion about the rotation axis.

A portable neck light comprising:
- a neck band including an arm extending to a distal end, the distal end defining a rotation axis;
- a light head coupled to the distal end of the arm;
- a shaft coupled to the light head and the neck band to allow rotation of the light head relative to the neck band about the rotation axis within a rotation plane, wherein the shaft extends between a first end, coupled to the light head, and a second end, extending through an arm opening in the distal end of the neck band, wherein the second end of the shaft includes a groove;
- and
- a snap ring that engages the groove to inhibit movement of the shaft out of the arm opening;
- wherein the light head is supported for continuous movement within an angular range of motion about the rotation axis.

A portable neck light comprising:
- a neck band including a first opening extending along a rotation axis;
- a light head including a second opening aligned with the first opening;
- a shaft positioned within the first opening and the second opening and extending along the rotation axis, the shaft including a first end coupled to the light head and a second end coupled to the neck band;
- and
- a pad coupled to the neck band and including a third opening aligned with the first opening and the second opening, an inner surface of the third opening is configured to engage an outer surface of the shaft to apply a radial holding force on the shaft support the light head in a plurality of positions with respect to the neck band.
