Abstract
A spotlight with locking swivel-join handle includes a lamp head, a handle, a swivel joint for rotatably connecting the handle with the lamp head, and a releasable locking means for selectively locking the handle in a pistol type handle position and a transversal type handle position with respect to the lamp head, wherein in the pistol type handle position, the handle is sidewardly and radially extended from the lamp head, and in the transversal type handle position, the handle is sidewardly extended in parallel with an axis of the lamp head. Therefore, the spotlight is capable of being worked as an above-head type lantern and a below-waist type lantern.
Claims20
A swivel lantern, comprising:
- a lamp head,
- a handle,
- a swivel joint rotatably connecting said handle with said lamp head;
- and
- a locking means releasably locking said handle selectively in a pistol type handle position or transversal type handle position with respect to said lamp head, wherein in said pistol type handle position, said handle is sidewardly and radially extended from said lamp head, and in said transversal type handle position, said handle is sidewardly extended in parallel with an axis of said lamp head, wherein said locking means comprises a locking latch transversally supported by a supporting means of said swivel joint, a resilient element normally retaining said locking latch at a locking position, and a locking disc, wherein said locking latch is normally retained by said resilient element to engage with said locking disc so as to lock up said handle in said pistol type handle position or said transversal type handle position, wherein an engagement relationship between said locking latch and said locking disc is arranged to be temporarily releasable for rotating said handle from said pistol type handle position to said transversal type handle or vice verse, wherein after adjustment, said locking latch is automatically engaged with said locking disc again by means of said resilient element.
A swivel lantern, comprising:
- a lamp head,
- a handle having a connection end wall,
- a swivel joint comprises joint housing provided at a periphery side of said lamp head and a swivel head which is provided on said connection end wall of said handle and arranged to rotatably connect to said joint housing, wherein said joint housing has a receiving chamber therein and comprises a supporting wall having a ring portion provided within said receiving chamber, wherein said swivel head has a ring-shaped holding groove thereon to receive said ring portion of said supporting wall of said joint housing so as to rotatably connect said handle with said lamp head;
- and
- a releasable locking means for selectively locking said handle in a pistol type handle position or transversal type handle position with respect to said lamp head, wherein in said pistol type handle position, said handle is sidewardly and radially extended from said lamp head, and in said transversal type handle position, said handle is sidewardly extended in parallel with an axis of said lamp head.
