实施例的详细说明Detailed description of the embodiment
如图所示,一手提式照明装置10有一总的呈细长直线形的本体12。例如,从图5和6中得知,本体在平面图中总的呈矩形。本体12具有一平的底座14,在作为一台灯或类似灯使用时,照明装置10可直立在其上。一电池覆盖模制件16形成该底座的一部分,并可取下,以更换用虚线18表示的电池盒。要知道的是,电池盒含有6个“D cell”型干电池。As shown, a
本体12具有一通过位于本体上端的枢转连接件22连接于其上的灯壳20。对枢转连接件22的详细描述将在下文中进行。灯壳20由半透明的中心部分24制成,该中心部分24由沿焊线30焊接在一起的一前灯罩26和一后灯罩28所形成。The
设置一细长光源32’,该光源的形式为一安装在灯壳20内的管状半透明透镜32和一对位于管状透镜32相对两端的白炽灯34。因而管状透镜32具有纵向荧光灯的外形,但事实上,照明是由两个白炽灯34提供的。An elongated light source 32' is provided in the form of a tubular
灯壳20还包括一下端部分36和一包容枢转连接件22的上端部分38。如果需要,可以安装合适的灯座,光源32’的管状透镜32和白炽灯34可由荧光灯所替换。或者,用一个或多个发光二极管(LED)替换白炽灯34。The
把柄40与本体12一体形成,并位于照明装置的可操作的上端。如图3所示,把柄40比本体12的其余部分窄,并限定了一开口42,供使用者携带照明装置10时其手指可容纳其中。把柄40从照明装置10的后面朝前面向上倾斜,倾斜的角度约40°。当把柄40被握时,灯34发射的光向前射出,并略微朝下,由此,当照明装置10被握在一舒适的位置时将提供一向前射出的光源32’。A
为照明装置10提供电力的电池可以具有相当的重量,因此,为了使携带照明装置10更舒适,把柄40略微从本体12的后面伸出。当以常规的方式携带照明装置10时,与把柄的锐角相结合,照明装置10的质量中心悬在携带者手的下面。显然,把柄40的角度可以不是40°,在30°与60°之间的角度被认为可提供同样的特征。The battery that powers the
一开关44位于把柄40的上侧,使用者的拇指更容易触及,以开和关光源32’。可选择一三位滑动(three position slide)开关作为开关44,那样可设置两个光源,使得在第一位置,只有一个光源处在闭合线路中,在第二位置,有两个光源处在闭合线路中。第三位置是一关(中断)的位置。A
从侧视图、即图1的视图看,前灯罩26的前表面48呈突起形状。灯罩26的这种弯曲形式显著地增加了灯壳20的强度,也能将来自光源32’的光更为扩散。应注意的是,表面48的曲率是拱形的,曲率的半径相当大,即,比本体的总长大得多。灯罩26的弯曲形式也为照明装置10提供了非常美的令人喜欢的外观。Viewed from a side view, ie, the view of FIG. 1 , the
图7和8详细示出了枢转连接件22。本体12包括一跨越其相对两侧的轴50,并提供了一相当刚性的安装轴供灯壳20连接于其上。灯壳20设置有一对套在轴50上的箍52,如图8所示,并通过若干螺钉54夹紧在轴50的周围。在轴50上的箍52的夹紧度可通过调节螺钉54而改变。此外,通过为箍52和轴50制定合适的尺寸,箍52和轴50可产生与在生产线或组装线上组装照明装置10时相当相同大小的摩擦。最好是,灯壳20能够转到约270°弧度中的任何所选择的位置。这样就能将照明装置10直立在其底座14上,而灯壳20可转离本体12到任何选择的位置。7 and 8 show the
由于灯罩24的整个周边是半透明的,当灯壳20离开本体12垂直朝上直立时,灯壳20以大致360°的弧度分散光线,醋似蜡烛的形式。还有,灯壳20可与本体12的长度成直角,使得该灯可作为一台灯或类似的灯。要注意的是,在组装过程中,要将螺钉54调节到使套在轴50上的箍52的摩擦夹紧力最佳,从而能相当容易地相对本体12转动灯壳20,还能将灯壳20相对于本体12的位置保持在转动到的任何所选择的弧形位置上。Since the entire periphery of the lampshade 24 is translucent, when the
如果需要,照明装置10不必采用在此所描述的全部形式,尽管由于上述的理由具有附图中所示的形式被认为是有利的。可以设想,照明装置10的制造相当简单,因而相当便宜,而且不仅坚固,还能应用于多种不同的用途,使照明装置10具有多功能性。The
尽管较可取的是采用箍52和轴50形式的摩擦装置,但可以分度转动的诸如棘齿机构的转动啮合装置也可使用。Although friction means in the form of
图9以相对于本体12的上升位置示出灯壳26。在该位置中,可见到本体12的侧面12A,并注意到矩形反射镜12B的存在。FIG. 9 shows the
当灯壳20与侧面12A相靠时,反射镜12B确保由灯壳20中的光源32’产生的光的全部可见光谱反射离开本体侧面12A,避免大部分的可见光被本体侧面12A所吸收,以保证最大部分的可使用光。When the
反射镜12B可以是很光泽的片材,镀银的、白色的或其它高反射片材,这种材料可以是金属塑料或涂覆金属的塑料。Reflector 12B can be a very glossy sheet, silver plated, white or other highly reflective sheet, and this material can be metal plastic or metal coated plastic.
可取的是,片材铺设在本体12的左右两半之间,或粘附于侧面12A,或连接在其上。反射镜12B的最基本形式是一白色塑料粘贴。Preferably, the sheet is laid between the left and right halves of the
灯壳26的另一特征是,当灯壳20靠近本体侧面12A时指向外面的一侧26A(见图7和9)由一磨砂或半透明透镜构成,而相对侧26B由一纯净或透明透镜构成。这样确保了当灯壳20内的光源32’被打开时,反射镜12B由于侧面26B的透明性能接受大量的光,该光在反射后将返回并通过侧面26B,从而导致经侧面26A的光更有效地传播。如果照明装置10用于阅读,那是特别有利的。尽管图中不能表达磨砂和纯净的面层,但从图7中可以看到,26A和26B的所示的横截面中具有不同的剖面线。Another feature of the
图10至21示出一提灯102形式的照明装置,该提灯102具有一总的为矩形的透镜组件或灯壳104,它通过一枢转组件108可转动地连接于总体为矩形的本体106。图10的提灯102示出了在展开位置的灯壳104,而图12、13和15示出了在相对于本体106的收回位置的灯壳。10 to 21 illustrate a lighting device in the form of a
在图10的视图中,本体106具有总体为矩形的具有一前表面110、一后表面112和左右侧面114和116的构造。枢转组件108由两个从本体106与垂线约45°倾斜的延伸部118和120所形成,但也可采用15°至60°的角度范围。In the view of FIG. 10 , the
在图10中示出了在垂直方向的灯壳104,这样的方向在底脚122的帮助下,确保灯壳104的重心位于底脚122的朝前末端122A与底座122D的朝后末端122D之间。这导致图10和11所示提灯102的构造处在一稳定位置,尽管灯壳104的重心已偏离经本体106重心的纵向轴线的位置。In FIG. 10 , the
而当灯壳104转到如图16所示的最远的转动位置时,其重心实际上很接近本体106的重心。And when the
诸干电池和本体106的质量大于灯壳104的质量,这样确保了不会出现翻倒现象。The quality of all dry batteries and the
一可转动把柄123设置在本体106的一半106A与另一半106B之间,可以从一邻近侧面112的位置一直转动到它与灯壳104接触。从而,灯壳104的位置决定了把柄123的转动极限。A
枢转组件108与底脚122的朝前末端122A合作,使得当灯壳104转到其如图16所示的最远的可转动位置时,提灯102可放置在台面上或其它水平表面(总的用轴线130表示),形成一将本体106保持在稳定方向的三脚布局,而灯壳104在轴线130之上交成一个角度(轴线130表示一基本水平的表面)。
此外,把柄123与如图18所示的朝后末端122D合作,使本体106以朝后末端122D和把柄123的边缘123A搁置在以假想线130表示的表面上。由于本体106大致容纳四个D cell型电池,提灯102中的本体106将有足够的质量,绕把柄123的123A产生的力矩比灯壳104和包括枢转组件108的上本体部分绕同一点所产生的力矩要大得多。这种结构导致非常灵活的和可变的布局,使用者采用这种结构可获得相当程度的稳定性。Furthermore, the
提灯102包括在本体106上的开关124,而灯壳104包括一入口板104A,它用一螺钉104B将灯壳104上的透镜固定到透镜架126上。或者,一如图17所示由5个侧面构成的灯罩104C作为灯壳104的界限。The
在图12所示的收回方向,提灯102的灯壳104靠近本体106。从图14中可以看出,一入口板128设置在本体106的前表面110上,使提灯102的使用者能触及电池室,以更换或安装干电池。提灯102的特征是,入口板128由高反射材料制成,诸如镀银的聚合物材料、反射金属、塑料金属或漆白色的材料等。这样确保了当提灯102具有如图12的收回位置的灯壳104,而且光源被打开时,由灯壳102产生的向本体106的方向发射的光大部分被板128反射后返回并穿过灯壳104后射出。这样确保了在收回方位,提灯102可直立在台子上,并产生足以进行阅读或其它活动的光。In the retracted orientation shown in FIG. 12 , the
提灯102的另一特征是,灯壳104转到如图16所示的垂直或过中心的位置时,灯壳104在其纵向轴线周围的360°圆周发光,其作用方式与蜡烛相似。Another feature of the
如图15所示,提灯102的横截面示出了枢转组件108包括一利用摩擦螺钉108B固定于本体106的枢转夹具108A。作用于摩擦螺钉108B的扭矩决定了枢转夹具108A施加于套管或轴108C的摩擦程度,该套管或轴108C与透镜架126的缩小部分126A一体形成或固定于其上。枢转夹具108A使透镜架126和灯壳104可定位在透镜架126的转动极限位置之间的任何位置,并将透镜架126保持在该位置而不需要任何外界的帮助。枢转夹具108A借助和套管或轴108C所产生的摩擦力就能做到这些。As shown in FIG. 15, a cross-section of the
透镜架126包括一荧光管和电气连接支承件135,而覆盖板104A或灯罩104C具有合适的插座,以容纳荧光灯的接线端137并电气连接这些端部,使电流流经两荧光管。
在本体的一半106A与106B之间有足够的空间容纳四个D型干电池139,在本体106的顶部包含一印刷线路板141,并带有合适的线路和控制件通向本体106的在枢转组件108附近的上表面上的开关124。There is enough space between the body halves 106A and 106B to accommodate four D-size
图19和20示出了一附加特征,它使灯壳104有很高的效率,供使用者有很大的选择范围。Figures 19 and 20 illustrate an additional feature which makes
一转动反射板128A如果使用的话就不再需要设置可反射白光的入口板128。即,板128将不需要反射白光。A rotating reflective plate 128A, if used, eliminates the need for an
转动反射板128A由一带有能够反射可见光谱的表面128B的片材制成。反射材料可以是目前可得到的诸如抛光的、镀银的、涂覆的或可以是所需的金属或塑料的白片材的反射材料中的任何一种。The rotating reflector 128A is made of a sheet material with a surface 128B capable of reflecting the visible spectrum. The reflective material may be any of the currently available reflective materials such as polished, silver plated, coated or may be a white sheet of metal or plastic as desired.
另一侧面128C可以具有同样的反射性能,但这不可取。The other side 128C could have the same reflective properties, but this is not desirable.
反射板128A具有两个直角弯曲或连接于表面128B的安装支翼128D和128E。支翼128D和128E具有同轴孔,枢转组件108穿过其中。如果需要,该安装结构使反射板128A与灯壳104可同时转动或在此后的任何时候转动。Reflector plate 128A has two mounting wings 128D and 128E that are bent at right angles or attached to surface 128B. Wings 128D and 128E have coaxial holes through which
因此,当灯壳104转到其如图20所示的极限旋转位置时,反射板128A可转动,从而靠近灯壳,这样确保灯壳104极有效地相对于本体106朝下和朝后的方向发射光。当灯壳104和反射镜128都处在收回位置时,会出现类似的效果。Therefore, when the
图21是一类似于图15的剖面,其中类似的零部件用相同的编号。图15和21实施例之间的不同之处是图15的光源32’(是一荧光灯)被一管状透镜32和一发光二极管(LED)34’所替代。如果需要,可在管状透镜32的另一端设置一图21中用假想线表示的另一发光二极管34″。该结构类似于前面参考图1和4所作的描述。另一选择是,所采用的光源可以是一直径约在3至6毫米的冷阴极荧光灯。Fig. 21 is a section similar to Fig. 15, in which like parts have been given the same reference numerals. The difference between the embodiments of Figures 15 and 21 is that the light source 32' of Figure 15 (which is a fluorescent lamp) is replaced by a
