An illuminating device support for illuminating devices having an adjustable light reflector, said devices also having a casing and a light emitting source, the said reflector and light emitting source being located generally on the casing front end, wherein the reflector may be employed to adjustably reflect light emanating from the said light emitting source, the said casing having a longitudinal axis, W, that extends through the casing front end and rear end, comprising:
- (a) flanges attached to either side of the casing and extending downward, assuming the device is so oriented that the W axis is horizontal, and terminating in a flange bottom edge, said flanges having an inside surface and an outside surface, wherein the said outside surface would be the visible side of the nearest flange in a side view of the device, each said flange being arranged generally opposite the other, said flanges being located substantially forward of the casing rear end but somewhat rearwards of the area on the casing where the reflector is attached, said flanges being sufficiently spaced apart and configured to allow reception of the reflector, between the flange inside surfaces, as the reflector is adjusted, or moved, to a stored, or unused, position, wherein the flanges have a reflector latching means to latch the reflector into the said stored position, wherein the flanges are so located on the casing, relative to the center of gravity of the device, that a stable device support position is attained when the bottom edges of the flanges and a point on, or near, the device rear end contact a horizontal flat surface, said support position hereby defined as the flange support position, wherein the distance the flange bottom edges extends downward from the casing is sufficient to hold the casing front end high enough above a supporting surface to allow adjustment and use of the reflector when the device is in the said flange support position, wherein the said flange contains a rotor shaft bearing, or hole, said rotor shaft bearing establishing a Z axis and receiving a rotor shaft, providing a rotor with 360.degree. of rotation on the said Z axis, wherein the Z axis may either intersect the W axis in a generally perpendicular fashion, or be displaced away from the Z axis in such a fashion that a plane would exist that would both contain the Z axis and also intersect the W axis in a generally perpendicular fashion;
- and
- (b) rotors having a main body and a top prong and a bottom prong, said prongs attached to the main body and extending away in a manner to effectively form a fork, said main body having an inside surface, said inside surface lying generally in a plane, wherein a rotor shaft is made onto the said inside surface and extends away in a manner generally perpendicular to the said plane of the inside surface, wherein the rotor shaft is rotatably received by the rotor shaft bearing, resulting in the rotatable interfacing of the rotor inside surface with the flange outside surface, whereby a rotor shaft retaining means retains the rotor shaft within the said rotor shaft bearing, wherein the rotor rotates on the Z axis and has Z axis position holding means whereby the rotor may be rotated on the Z axis to anyone of several various positions within the rotor's 360.degree. rotational range and that position retained, wherein the top prong contains a leg shaft top bearing, or hole, and the bottom prong contains a leg shaft bottom bearing, or hole, wherein both said leg shaft bearings are in alignment and establish the Y axis and rotatably receive the leg shaft, providing the leg with rotational capabilities on the said Y axis, wherein, since the rotor rotates on the Z axis, and the Y axis also rotates on the Z axis, the leg, then, has rotational capabilities on both the Y and Z axes, wherein the said prongs and leg shaft bearings are configured such that the Z axis and Y axis are displaced apart but relatively oriented such that a plane would exist that would both contain the Y axis and also intersect the Z axis in a generally perpendicular manner;
- and
- (c) legs having a leg shaft on one end and a hooking means on the opposite end, and an extension section connecting the said leg shaft to the said hooking means, wherein the leg shaft and extension section join, or intersect, at an angle of about 90.degree., said angular intersection hereby defined as the first bend, wherein the leg shaft is rotatably received by the leg shaft top bearing and leg shaft bottom bearing, providing the leg with a rotational range of about 180.degree. on the Y axis, said leg Y axis rotational range limits occurring when the leg encounters some portion of the illuminating device or flange, wherein the leg has Y axis position holding means whereby the leg may be rotated to any one of several positions within the said leg's Y axis rotational range and that position retained, wherein the rotor and flange, in combination, provides the legs with both 360.degree. rotational capability on the Z axis and also a Z axis position holding means.
