Abstract
A lighting device that includes a body which is provided with at least one lighting module and with a handle which is mounted on the body. The body includes at least one attachment stud and indexing means, the handle has at least one base which is able to pivot about an axis (X) relative to the body between a first angular position, which forms an unlocked position of the base relative to the body, and a second angular position, which forms a locked position of the base on the body, said base having at least one oblong hole which extends circumferentially about the axis (X) and is able to cooperate with the attachment stud.
Claims9
A lighting device (1) comprising a body (4) equipped with at least one lighting module and a handle (9) mounted on the body (4), wherein the body (4) comprises at least one attachment stud (13) and indexing means (14, 23), the handle (9) comprising at least one base (17) capable of pivoting about an axis (X) relative to the body (4) between a first angular position forming an unlocked position of the base (17) relative to the body (4) and a second angular position forming a locked position of the base (17) on the body (4), said base (17) comprising at least one oblong hole (22) extending circumferentially about the axis (X) and capable of cooperating with the attachment stud (13) so as to:
- allow the circumferential movement of the attachment stud (13) along the corresponding oblong hole (22) between the locked and unlocked positions of the base (17) relative to the body (4),
- allow translation along said axis (X) of the base (17) relative to the body (4) in the unlocked position of the base (17) relative to the body (4), and
- prevent said translation in the locked position of the base (17) relative to the body (4),
- the indexing means (14) of the body (4) being able to cooperate with complementary indexing means (23) of the base (17), so as to:
- allow rotation of the base (17) relative to the body (4), from the unlocked position to the locked position,
- prevent rotation of the base (17) relative to the body (4), in an unlocked position.
