Abstract
An illuminating device may be used, for example, as a portable illuminator, book light and travel light. The illuminating device may include a head, a pair of rails and a base. The illuminating device may be manipulated into numerous positions including extended and retracted positions such that the light source may be positioned in a variety of positions relative to the base which may include a clip for securing structure the illuminating device to a variety of structures including books, magazines, tables, e-readers and bags, to name a few.
Claims21
An illuminating device comprising:
- a head including a light source housed within the head;
- a clip configured to permit removable attachment to an article;
- and
- a pair of rails coupling the head and the clip, the head being both translationally fixed and pivotably coupled to the pair of rails, and the clip being coupled to the pair of rails enabling the clip to be linearly translatable relative to the head along the pair of rails such that, in at least one translated position of the clip, the pair of rails extend beyond the clip in both directions along a line substantially parallel to the pair of rails.
An illuminating device comprising:
- a head including a light source housed within the head;
- a clip configured to permit removable attachment to an article;
- and
- a pair of rails coupling the head and the clip, wherein the clip is pivotably coupled to the pair of rails such that the pair of rails are moveable between a vertical position in which the pair of rails are substantially perpendicular to the clip and a horizontal position in which the pair of rails are substantially parallel to the clip and extend beyond the clip in both directions along a line substantially parallel to the pair of rails.
An illuminating device comprising:
- a head including a light source housed within the head;
- a clip configured to permit removable attachment to an article;
- a pair of rails coupling the head and the clip, the head being both translationally fixed and pivotably coupled to the pair of rails;
- and
- a rails-clip coupling mechanism coupling the pair of rails to the clip, wherein the rails-clip coupling mechanism is configured to enable the pair of rails and the clip to pivot relative to each other, wherein the rails-clip coupling mechanism slidably houses the pair of rails in channels such that the position of the head can be translationally moved by sliding the pair of rails within the channels, wherein the rails-clip coupling mechanism includes a sleeve coupled to the clip and configured to slidably rotate around a coupling member, wherein the sleeve is wrapped around the outer surface of the coupling member and sits between the pair of rails.
