Abstract
A adjustable timing light including a housing having bottom portion and a top portion. The top portion of the housing is pivotally coupled to the bottom portion of the housing such that the top portion has a first orientation situated perpendicularly with respect to the bottom portion and a second orientation positioned in coaxial relationship therewith. Also included is a light assembly positioned within an interior space of the top portion of the housing. The light assembly is adapted to emit light toward a top face of the top portion of the housing upon the receipt of power. A plurality of wires are in electrical communication with the light assembly and a coil and a spark plug of a vehicle.
Claims6
A adjustable timing light comprising, in combination:
- a housing having bottom portion with a cylindrical configuration, the bottom portion having a closed circular bottom face, a closed circular top face, and a periphery formed therebetween defining an interior space, the top face having a thin generally rectangular tab coupled in perpendicular relationship with the top face and extended upwardly therefrom, the tab having an upper corner with a cut out formed therein, the housing further including a top portion with a cylindrical configuration, the top portion having an open circular top face, an open circular bottom face, and a periphery formed therebetween defining an interior space, the top portion of the housing having a bottom corner with a cut out formed therein, wherein the top portion of the housing is pivotally coupled adjacent the bottom face thereof to the tab of the bottom portion of the housing such that the top portion has a first orientation situated perpendicularly with respect to the bottom portion and a second orientation positioned in coaxial relationship therewith, the top portion adapted to pivot only within a single plane in which the bottom portion resides;
- a light assembly positioned within the interior space of the top portion of the housing at a central extent thereof, the light assembly adapted to emit light toward the top face of the top portion of the housing upon the receipt of power;
- a circular magnifying lens situated within the interior space of the top portion of the housing adjacent the top face thereof, the magnifying lens adapted to magnify the light emitted from the light assembly prior to exiting the housing;
- a set of wires including a first system of wires in electrical communication with the light assembly and a second system of wires extending from the periphery of the bottom portion of the housing, wherein the first system of wires extend within the interior space of the bottom portion of the housing and through a bore formed in the tab which communicates with the interior space of the top portion of the housing, the second system of wires connected to a coil and a spark plug of a vehicle;
- a double-pole single throw switch positioned on the periphery of the bottom portion of the housing, the switch in electric communication with the set of wires for precluding the transfer of power to the light assembly in a first orientation and further allowing the transfer of power to the light assembly in a second orientation;
- whereby the light assembly may be utilized as a timing light.
