Abstract
An adjustable lamp holder has a mounting structure arrayed about a longitudinal axis. A pair of hollow pivot pillars extends from the mounting structure parallel to the longitudinal axis and a receptacle is positioned on the mounting structure parallel to the longitudinal axis and substantially opposite the pivot pillars. A body with a body axis coaxial with the longitudinal axis has a pair of pivots formed thereon for engaging the pivot pillars. A projection is formed on the body substantially opposite the pivots and an angle adjuster, having a proximal end and a distal end, has the proximal end positioned in the projection and the distal end positioned in the receptacle. Movement of the angle adjuster tips the angle of the lamp.

An adjustable lamp holder comprising:
- a mounting structure arrayed about a longitudinal axis;
- a pair of hollow pivot pillars extending from said mounting structure parallel to said longitudinal axis;
- a receptacle positioned on said mounting structure parallel to said longitudinal axis and substantially opposite said pivot pillar;
- a body with a body axis coaxial with said longitudinal axis;
- a pair of pivots formed on said body engaging said pivot pillars;
- a projection formed on said body substantially opposite said pivot;
- and
- an angle adjuster having a proximal end and a distal end, said proximal end being positioned in said projection and said distal end being positioned in said receptacle.
A clipping pivot assembly comprising:
- a mounting formed with an end receptacle having an axial recess formed with at least two diametrically opposed inward facing ledge portions and at least two diametrically opposed bearing faces positioned 90 degrees around the axis to the at least two diametrically opposed inward facing ledge portions;
- a clip formed with two diametrically opposed outwardly facing (radially away from the axis) but inwardly (radially towards the axis) flexible clip arms mates with the inward facing ledge portions of the mounting, and at least one bearing face positioned 90 degrees around the axis to the flexible clip arms sized and positioned to slidingly mate on with the opposed bearing faces of the mounting.
