Description

Clip type lamp detachably connected with cap

Technical Field

The invention relates to a clip type lamp. More particularly, the present invention relates to clip-on lights that are removably attached to a visor.

Background artOperation of the art

In order to protect a user's face from sunlight and to ensure a user's field of vision during leisure or sports such as mountain climbing, fishing, exercise, traveling, hiking, or jogging, a user usually wears a cap having a visor protruded from the front end thereof. The user also wears the cap when working at night.

Although a cap does not pose a particular problem when a user climbs a mountain, fishes, exercises, or travels in the daytime, such a cap does not guarantee the user's view at night, and therefore the user must carry a lamp including a flashlight or an electric bulb.

In addition, since the user has to grip the flashlight or the light bulb while moving when climbing a mountain or traveling at night, the movement thereof becomes unnatural. In addition, since the user must move along the path illuminated by the light, the surrounding environment may be ignored, thereby causing a safety accident.

Also, in the case of night work requiring illumination, a worker must grip the lamp or the light bulb using one hand and illuminate the work environment using the lamp or the light bulb. Therefore, the worker has to perform the work with only the other hand, which is inconvenient. In addition, when work must be done using both hands simultaneously, other workers must use a light or light bulb to illuminate the work area for the worker.

In order to solve the above problems, the applicant of the present invention filed korean utility model application registration No.312,151, which discloses a clip type lamp detachably coupled to a visor.

The clip-on lamp includes a plurality of light bulbs 24 mounted to the front of a lamp housing 22. A switch 26 for operating the light bulb is installed at one side of the lamp housing 22. The lamp casing 22 accommodates a battery therein, and a clip 28 having elasticity is provided on the lamp casing 22, wherein a terminal end of one side of the clip 28 is integrally formed with a top portion of the lamp casing 22.

In the conventional clip type lamp having the above-mentioned structure, if a user pushes the clip type lamp from the front side of the cap visor to the rear side of the cap visor, the other end of the clip, one end of which is fixed to the lamp housing, moves upward, so that the cap visor is fixedly inserted between the lamp housing and the clip. In this state, if a user operates a switch installed at one side of a lamp housing fixed to the visor, the light bulb is turned on, so that a front road can be illuminated.

However, in the conventional clip type lamp, since the switch is mounted at one side of the lamp housing, a user must find the switch by touching a side surface of the lamp housing (which is fixed at a lower end portion of the visor) and skillfully operate the switch to operate the electric bulb, thereby causing inconvenience to the user and making it difficult to operate the switch.

In addition, since the lamp is fixed to the visor that is bent and formed into a curved surface, a predetermined central portion of the clip provided at the upper portion of the lamp housing will serve to fix the visor. For this reason, when the user is moving, such as on foot or jogging, the lamp is hard to be firmly fixed to the visor and moves left or right, and thus the direction of illumination of the lamp may not match the direction of the user's gaze. In extreme cases, the lamp may separate from the visor.

In addition, if a user forcibly couples the clip of the lamp with a visor having various curved structures, the curved surface of the visor may be forcibly deformed into a flat or twisted surface according to the shape of the clip housing, and thus it is difficult for the user to form the visor into a desired shape. In addition, if the user forcibly attaches the clip on the lamp to the visor, the surface of the visor may be torn, thereby damaging the cap. For this reason, the clips are individually made in accordance with the curved structure of the visor.

In addition, harmful insects and winged insects such as mosquitoes or moths are gathered around the lamp fixed to the visor at night due to light emitted from the light bulb. These insects that collect around the light may obscure the user's view. Although these insects may also move along the light emitted from the light bulb while obscuring the user's view, there is no specific method of repelling these insects. In extreme cases, the user must turn off the light.

In addition, when the conventional clip-on lamp is used for a long period of time, the user must frequently replace the battery in the lamp housing with a new one.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the clip-on lamp according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a body 110 in which a battery is received. The upper portion of the body 110 is closely coupled with the lower portion of the visor 300 having a smooth curved surface. A plurality of light bulbs 120 are provided at the front of the body 110. First ends of the first and second clips 131 and 132 are fixed to a front portion of the body 110, and second ends of the first and second clips 131 and 132 may be elastically moved up and down.

The first and second clips 131 and 132 include first and second protrusions 131a and 132a, and first and second clip fixing portions 135 and 136 extending downward from the first and second protrusions 131a and 132a, the protrusions having an arched portion integrally formed with the front of the body 110 and protruding slightly beyond the front of the body 110.

In addition, the first and second protrusions 131a and 132a define first and second locking holes 131b and 131b so that the edge of the visor 300 can be securely placed in the first and second locking holes 131b and 131 b.

In order to allow the clip-on lamp to be easily coupled with the visor 300, the middle portions of the first and second clip fixing portions 135 and 136 are in contact with the body 110, and the end portions of the first and second clip fixing portions 135 and 136 are slightly bent upward.

As mentioned above, the clip-on lamp according to the present invention includes a split-type clip divided into two parts so that the clip can be coupled to the cap without deforming the shape of the cap.

The switch 140 is installed at the lower side of the body 110 so that the light bulb 120 and the ultrasonic generator (not shown) installed in the body 110 can be operated. In addition, a plurality of ultrasonic ports 150 are formed at upper and lower portions of the body 110, so that ultrasonic waves generated from the ultrasonic generator can be easily emitted to the outside of the body 110.

If the user pushes the switch 140 once, the light bulb 120 is turned on, thereby emitting light. In addition, the ultrasonic generator installed in the body 110 also operates, so that ultrasonic waves are generated. In this state, if the user pushes the switch 140 again, the light bulb 120 will blink at predetermined time intervals, but the ultrasonic generator will continue to generate the ultrasonic waves. In this state, if the user pushes the switch 140 again, the light bulb 120 is turned off and the operation of the ultrasonic generator is stopped.

As shown in fig. 3, the switch 140 protrudes from the bottom surface of the body 110, and preferably has a hemispherical structure, so that the user can easily operate the switch 140.

Meanwhile, a connection socket 160 is provided at one side of the body 110, and the connection socket 160 is connected with an external power source, thereby charging the battery equipped in the body 110.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, in the clip type lamp 100 having the above-described structure, the visor 300 is placed between the body 110 of the lamp 100 and the two clips 131 and 132. At this time, since the second end portions of the first and second clip fixing portions 135 and 136 of the first and second clips 131 and 132 are bent upward, if a user pushes the lamp 100 from the front side to the rear side of the visor 300, the lamp 100 can be easily attached to the visor 300. In addition, since both sides of the body 110 are bent downward to form a curved surface, the body 110 can be closely combined with the visor 300 having a bent structure.

At this time, since the second ends of the first and second clip fixing portions 135 and 136 are bent upward with respect to the upper surface of the visor 300 and the body 110 is sufficiently contacted with the bottom surface of the visor 300 without additional force, the outer surface of the visor 300 will not be damaged by the first and second clips 131 and 132.

In the clip-on light 100 attached to the visor 300, the edge of the visor 300 is fixedly inserted into the locking holes 131b and 132b, wherein the locking holes 131b and 132b are formed at the middles of the first and second protrusions 131a and 132a of the first and second clips 131 and 132, and the first and second clips 131 and 132 are fixedly supported on the upper surface of the visor 300, so that the light 100 can be firmly fixed in a fixed position of the visor 300 without being separated from the visor 300 even when a user is performing strenuous exercise, such as hiking or jogging.

In addition, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, in a state in which the clip type lamp 100 is fixedly coupled with the visor 300, the front end portion of the visor 300 is positioned in the locking holes 131b and 132b of the first and second protrusions 131a and 132a, and thus the front portion of the visor 300 may protrude beyond the body 110 of the clip type lamp 100. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent raindrops, which drop on the upper surface of the visor 300, from entering the electric bulb 120 disposed at the front of the body 110 of the lamp 100.

When it is necessary to operate the light bulb 120 of the lamp 100 fixed to the visor 300 at night, the user simply pushes the hemispherical switch 140 protruded from the bottom surface of the body 110 of the lamp 100 to operate the light bulb 120.

In addition to the lighting function of the light bulb 120, if the user pushes the switch 140 again, the light bulb 120 will blink at predetermined time intervals. The blinking function of the light bulb 120 is advantageous when a user encounters an emergency or must notify others of the user's location.

In addition, although not shown in the drawings, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a pair of switches 140 may be installed at both sides of the bottom surface of the body 110. In this case, one switch is used to operate the light bulb 120 provided at the front of the body 110, and the other switch is used to operate the ultrasonic generator equipped in the body 110 of the clip light 100.

In addition, the ultrasonic generator in the body 110 of the clip-on lamp 100, and the electric bulb 120 may also be simultaneously operated by the operation of the switch 140 of the clip-on lamp 100. In this case, the ultrasonic waves are emitted outward through the ultrasonic wave port 150 formed at the lower portion of the lamp body 110, and thus it is possible to prevent the male animals or harmful insects, such as mosquitoes, from being gathered around the electric bulb 120.

The ultrasonic port 150 may include holes formed at a lower portion of the body 110 when the body 110 is manufactured by injection molding. In addition, the ultrasonic port 150 may be formed at a lower portion of the body 110 after the body 110 is manufactured.

Meanwhile, when the clip-on lamp 100 of the present invention is not used, a user connects the connection socket 160 provided at one side of the body 110 to an external power source, such as an igniter socket installed on a vehicle, so that the battery in the body 110 of the lamp 100 can be charged. Thus, the user can use the clip-on lamp 100 for a long time.

The extension part 220 has an arched portion, and the power supply protrusions 230 are provided at both sides of the rear portion of the extension part 220 in such a manner that the power supply protrusions 230 can be inserted into the connection holes 170 formed at both sides of the front portion of the body 110, thereby supplying power to the battery in the body 210.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 10, the solar cell panel 200 is mounted on the upper surface of the visor 300.

In the daytime, the clip-on lamp according to the second embodiment of the present invention absorbs solar energy through the solar cell panel 200 to store energy, thereby charging the battery in the body 110 of the lamp 100. The user can use the lamp at night without using an external power source.

In addition, although the present invention has been described in which the solar cell panel 200 is detachably coupled to the body 110 of the lamp 100, the solar cell panel 200 may be integrally formed with the body 110 of the lamp 100 or mounted on the body 110 using a separate fixing unit.

Preferably, the solar panel has a large area to receive as much light as possible from the sun. For this, the solar cell panel has a foldable structure. In this case, the user can unfold the solar cell panel to receive solar energy during the daytime and fold the solar cell panel to easily accommodate the solar cell panel during the night.
