Abstract
A carabiner includes a carabiner with a shank which has a housing chamber formed therein to house an elastic element and a battery assembly. A lamp socket is coupled with an opening of the housing chamber and may be turned and moved into the shank in different distances to turn on or off a light bulb so that the carabiner has illuminating function and becomes a portable and handy tool more useful to people.
Claims22
A carabiner, comprising:
- a carabiner including a shank which has a conductive housing chamber and a coupling section formed on the peripheral surface adjacent to an opening of the housing chamber;
- a conductive and elastic element located on the bottom of the housing chamber;
- a battery assembly located in the housing chamber above the conductive and elastic element;
- and
- a lamp socket including a light bulb which has two legs connecting respectively to a first conductive section and a second conductive section, a fastening section engageable with the coupling section such that the first conductive section pressing and connecting to the battery assembly and the conductive and elastic element, and the lamp socket being movable relative to the shank between a first position and a second position to allow the second conductive section to space from the opening of the housing chamber for a selected distance and to form a contact condition.

A carabiner, comprising:
- a carabiner including a shank and two arched rods extending from the shank, the two arched rods being spaced from each other by a gap, one arched rod having one end pivotally engaged with a latch member for closing the gap, the shank having a housing chamber formed on one end remote from the arched rods, the housing chamber having a conductive bottom side and a conductive inner side wall;
- a conductive and elastic element located in the housing chamber having one end in contact with the bottom side of the housing chamber;
- a battery assembly located in the housing chamber to contact another end of the conductive and elastic element including at least one battery and an insulation sleeve, the battery being housed in the insulation sleeve in a series fashion;
- and
- a lamp socket fastened to an opening of the housing chamber and being movable relative to the shank between a first position and a second position, and having a coupling pad and a light bulb mounted onto the coupling pad, the coupling pad having a first conductive section and a second conductive section connecting to the light bulb, wherein the first conductive section contacts electrically the positive pole of the battery, and the second conductive section connects electrically to the opening of the housing chamber at the second position such that the inner side wall and the conductive and elastic element connect to the negative pole of the battery to light the light bulb on the lamp socket.
