Abstract
An area light includes a base module having a set of wheels supporting the base module on a surface, a battery receptacle disposed in the base module and configured to receive a battery, and a drive motor supported by the base module and electrically coupled to the battery receptacle. The drive motor is configured to receive power from the battery and rotate at least some of the set of wheels. The area light also includes a mast assembly extending from the base module and a light assembly coupled to the mast assembly and electrically coupled to the battery receptacle. The light assembly is configured to receive power from the battery.
Claims20
An area light comprising:
- a base module having a plurality of drive elements supporting the base module on a surface, wherein the base module includes a housing;
- a power source received in the housing;
- a drive motor supported by the base module and electrically coupled to the power source, the drive motor configured to receive power from the power source and energize at least one of the plurality of drive elements to move the base module across the surface;
- a mast assembly extending from the housing;
- and
- a light assembly coupled to the mast assembly and electrically coupled to the power source, the light assembly configured to receive power from the power source.
An area light comprising:
- a base module including
- a housing having a front wall, a rear wall, an upper wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of side walls,
- a plurality of drive elements coupled to the bottom wall and supporting the base module on a surface, and
- a handle extending from the rear wall, the handle configured to be pushed by a user to move the plurality of drive elements across the surface;
- a power source received in the housing;
- a drive motor supported by the base module and electrically coupled to the power source, the drive motor configured to receive power from the power source and energize at least one of the plurality of drive elements to move the base module across the surface;
- and
- a light assembly supported by a mast assembly extending from the housing and electrically coupled to the power source, the light assembly configured to receive power from the power source.
An area light comprising:
- a base module including
- a housing having a front wall, a rear wall, an upper wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of side walls,
- a plurality of drive elements coupled to the bottom wall and supporting the base module on a surface,
- a handle extending from the rear wall, the handle configured to be pushed by a user to move the plurality of drive elements across the surface, and
- a battery receptacle configured to receive a battery;
- a drive motor supported by the base module and electrically coupled to the battery receptacle, the drive motor configured to receive power from the battery and energize at least one of the plurality of drive elements to move the base module across the surface;
- a mast assembly extending from the housing, the mast assembly including a mast drive mechanism electrically coupled to the battery receptacle and operable to move the mast assembly between a collapsed position and an extended position relative to the base module, the mast drive mechanism configured to receive power from the battery;
- and
- a light assembly coupled to the mast assembly and electrically coupled to the battery receptacle, the light assembly configured to receive power from the battery.
