BOOK LIGHT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999013754
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A book light having a pair of arms (12, 14) or a "U" bracket (66) pivotally attached to a head (18) at one end and a body (24) at the other. In the case of the "U" bracket, the head is attached by a ball joint (68) and has infinite ranges of motion. The body has a clip (26) for attachment to a book or a bed frame, an on/off switch (42), a plug for receiving an AC adapter (60), and a battery compartment (64). The head has a light assembly and a fluorescent light bulb (22) for illuminating a book. A wire or conductive strip (48) running along, and guided by wire guides (36), each of the arms provides an electrical connection between the light assembly and the source of power. The pivoting of the head and the body allow them to be pivoted for storage in the space between the arms or so that the book light be used as a free-standing desk lamp. Optionally, the two arms or the "U" bracket may be connected to a pivot arm (70) which swivels about the body to increase the degrees of freedom and the flexibility of the light.
