Abstract
A flashlight housing and bracket system that is selectively and removably coupled to a support member of a non-motorized recreational vehicle or another structure. The system includes a light source that is selectively actuated or deactuated by a user and a flashlight housing that houses a light source and a power source. The housing includes two portions that couple a bracket system having gripping fingers to a support member. The rotation of a first portion of the housing with respect to the second portion selectively actuates or deactuates the light source depending on the direction of the rotation.
Claims34
A bracket system for selectively and removably coupling a flashlight to a support member, the bracket system comprising
- a coupling portion;
- and
- a gripping portion extending from the coupling portion, wherein the bracket system is configured such that the coupling of a flashlight housing to the coupling portion couples the gripping portion to the support member.
A bracket system for selectively coupling a flashlight to a support member, the system comprising:
- a first coupling ring configured to receive a portion of a flashlight housing therethrough;
- a first gripping finger extending from the first coupling ring;
- a second coupling ring configured to receive a portion of a flashlight housing therethrough;
- and
- a second gripping finger extending from the second coupling ring, such that placement of the first coupling ring adjacent the second coupling ring places the first gripping finger adjacent the second gripping finger.
A mountable flashlight housing and bracket system comprising:
- a flashlight housing;
- and
- a bracket system configured to receive a portion of a support member and a portion of the flashlight housing, wherein the mounting of the flashlight housing onto the bracket system secures the bracket system onto the support member.
A mountable flashlight system that is selectively and removably coupled to a support member, the system comprising:
- a flashlight comprising:
- a housing having a first portion and a second portion;
- a light source housed by the housing;
- and
- a power source housed by the housing;
- and
- a bracket, wherein a portion of the bracket is positioned between a surface of the first housing portion and a surface of the second housing portion.
A mountable flashlight housing and bracket kit comprising:
- a flashlight housing having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the flashlight housing is configured to house a light source and a power source;
- and
- a bracket system configured to be mounted on a support member when the first and second portions of the flashlight housing are coupled together.
A flashlight housing configured to receive a bracket thereon, comprising:
- a first flashlight housing portion comprising a hollow member, the hollow member having a coupling portion, a first exterior surface, and a second exterior surface, wherein the second exterior surface is raised with respect to the first exterior surface;
- and
- a second flashlight housing portion comprising a hollow member, the hollow member having a coupling portion that is configured to couple to the coupling portion of the first flashlight housing, the second flashlight housing portion having an exterior surface that is raised with respect to the first exterior surface of the first housing portion.
