Abstract
A modular light arrangement is described which is useful for an individual engaged in a sport activity. It easily can be converted from a single to a dual light bulb housing arrangement while maintaining stability and rigidity. It includes a clamp positioned to grip one or more light housings between a pair of opposed jaws. A pair of spaced indexing pins is provided on one of the jaws and a corresponding pair of spaced indexing posts are provided on the other jaw. These pins and posts collectively engage complementary sockets in the housing(s) to facilitate the gripping. One of the jaws is movable toward and away from the other to facilitate changing the number of light housings that are gripped.
Claims16
In a light designed for an individual engaged in a sport activity, the combination comprising:
- A. A first housing for a light bulb to provide illumination to create a light beam, said housing having an end from which said light beam is to project;
- B. a clamp having a pair of facing opposed jaws configured to grip said housing between them and point said light beam stably toward an area to be illuminated, at least one of said pair of facing opposed jaws being movable relative to the other toward and away from the other;
- and
- C. a mount for securing said clamp and a first housing held thereby to an implement of the sports activity.
In a light designed for an individual engaged in a sport activity, the combination comprising:
- A. first and second housings for light bulbs to provide illumination for creating a light beam, said housings being generally parallel to one another and each having an end adjacent the end of the other from which the light provided by the same is to project to form said light beam;
- B. a clamp having a pair of facing opposed jaws configured to grip said first and second housing between them simultaneously and point said light beam stably toward an area to be illuminated, at least one of said pair of facing opposed jaws being movable relative to the other toward and away from each other;
- and
- C. a mount for securing said clamp and said first and second housings held thereby to an implement of the sports activity.
The light of claim l3 wherein at least one of said pair of jaws includes a pair of spaced indexing pins which engage complementary sockets on said first and second housings and the other of said pair of jaws includes a pair of spaced posts which are opposed to said indexing pins and similarly engage a pair of complementary sockets in said housings to cooperate with said indexing pins to provide said gripping and pointing.
