Abstract
A lamp assembly, that has a fixed base, and a yoke which is controlled to move relative to the base to cause a panning motion. The yoke holds a lamp head. The yoke has a bottom portion and a top portion. A lamp head, which includes a light source therein, is coupled to said bottom portion of the yoke. The lamp head moves to form a tilting motion, thereby allowing both pan and tilt. The yoke includes handles thereon, including a first handle on a bottom most portion of said yoke, and a second handle on a top most portion of said yoke. One embodiment has the handles integrated into the yoke, e.g., molded to or recessed into the yoke.
Claims12
A lamp assembly, comprising:
- a yoke which includes structure there which is controlled to cause a panning motion, said yoke having a bottom portion and a top portion and a flat outer surface, defining an outer surface of said yoke, which is curved near said top portion, and said curved portion includes a recessed portion therein which forms an area that is below said outer surface of said yoke;
- a lamp head, which includes a light source therein, and coupled to said bottom portion of said yoke, and which moves to cause a tilting motion relative to the yoke;
- and
- wherein said yoke includes first and second handles attached thereto, said first handle being located in said recessed portion, such that no portion of said handle extends beyond a surface defined by said outer surface of said yoke and said yoke having said second handle attached to a top edge of said yoke.
A lamp assembly, comprising:
- a base,
- a yoke, mounted on the base, and which is movable relative to the base, where said yoke is controlled to be rotated relative to the base to cause a panning motion, said yoke having a bottom portion and a top portion;
- a lamp head, which includes a light source therein, and coupled to said bottom portion of said yoke, and which moves relative to said yoke to cause a tilting motion relative to the yoke, said lamp head emitting light from a first end;
- and
- wherein said yoke has first and second surfaces, pointing away from said lamp head and pointing facing opposite to one another, said first and second surfaces being substantially flat, and being curved in an area near where said yoke attaches to said base, and said yoke having third and fourth surfaces, coupled to said first surface, and substantially orthogonal to said first surface, and having fifth and sixth surfaces, coupled to said second surface, and substantially orthogonal to said second surface, wherein said yoke includes handles thereon, including a first handle that is attached to a bottom most portion of said yoke that is closest to said lamp head said first handle having outer surfaces which are the same size as, and form a continuous surface with, said third and fourth surfaces, and a second handle recessed in said curved portion of said yoke that is furthest from said lamp head.
