Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to rechargeable lighting devices, and more particularly to rechargeable flashlights.
- the invention has been developed primarily for use as a hand held flashlight, and will be described predominantly with reference to this application
- Battery powered flashlights are well known, and, since the advent of rechargeable batteries, flashlights powered by rechargeable batteries have become commonplace. While in some cases, the batteries must be removed from the flashlight to be charged, usually in a separate charging unit, nowadays it is common to find flashlights with integral batteries.
- Such flashlights require either the use of a separate charging unit that connects to a power supply or, the flashlight itself plugs directly into the power supply.
- a drawback of both systems is that they require an electrical connection to establish charging.
- This requires electrically conducting terminals to be located at some position on the flashlight.
- These connectors may results in difficulties when the flashlight is used in some environments. For instance, in wet or environments the electrical connectors may be prone to shorting out. In hazardous environments, such as flammable or explosive surroundings, the exposed electrical connectors may present a significant safety risk.
- mud, dirt and debris may interfere with the connection and reduce or prevent charging.
- general oxidisation of terminals may interfere with the connection and reduce or prevent charging.
- the invention provides a flashlight and flashlight charger unit, the flashlight including: a housing; an electrically powered light emitting device; an electrical energy storage device for powering the light emitting device; a switching unit for activating the light emitting device; and a secondary induction coil located within the flashlight housing, the secondary coil for directing electrical energy to the storage device, the charger unit including: a body; a primary induction coil located within the body, the primary coil for generating a magnetic flux; and means for electrically connecting the primary coil to an electric power supply; wherein the housing and body are configured for complementary engagement in a charging position whereby the primary and secondary coils are disposed in inductive proximity for energy transfer.
- the charging position provides optimised for energy transfer.
- the flashlight housing includes a shaft and the charger unit body includes a sheath for receiving and locating the shaft such that respective longitudinal axes of the shaft and sheath are substantially coaxial.
- the flashlight and the charger include mutual abutment surfaces located on an increased radius portion of the housing and an outer edge of the sheath, respectively, for longitudinally locating the shaft in the sheath in the charging position.
- the charging position is independent of radial orientation of the shaft within the sheath.
- the flashlight and charger unit include respective flashlight and charger unit control systems and communication means providing for communication between the flashlight and charger unit control systems.
- control system is responsive to the data from the communication means.
- the invention provides a flashlight in accordance with the flashlight of the first aspect, for use with a flashlight charger unit in accordance with the flashlight charger unit of the first aspect.

- the invention includes a rechargeable flashlight 1 and a flashlight charger unit 2.
- the flashlight 1 and flashlight charger unit 2 are endowed with inductive coupling means for charging the flashlight.
- the flashlight 1 includes a housing 3, an electrically powered light emitting device 4, an electrical energy storage device 5 and switching unit 6, for controlling the light emitting device 4.
- the flashlight 1 also includes a secondary induction coil 7 located within the housing 3 and electrically connected to the storage device 5 for directing electrical energy to the storage device 5.
- the flashlight charger unit 2 includes a body 8, a primary induction coil 9 located within the body 8 for generating a magnetic flux and means 10 for connecting the primary coil to an electrical power supply.
- the housing 3 of the flashlight 1 and body 8 of the charger unit 2 are configured for complementary engagement in a charging position, as shown in Fig. 2, 7 & 8. In the charging position, the primary and secondary coils, 7 & 9, are disposed in inductive proximity for inductive coupling and energy transfer.
- An alternating (AC) electrical current in the primary coil 9 generates a magnetic flux, which, when the coils are located in inductive proximity, induces an AC electrical current in the secondary coil 7.
- This induced current is transformed into a DC current by a rectifier and used to recharge the electrical energy storage device.
- the system does not require any conducting electrical contact between the flashlight and charging supply.
- energy transfer efficiency is highly dependant on the orientation and displacement between the primary and secondary coils.
- the charging position locates the coils in close inductive proximity for optimised energy transfer.
- a ferritic or other material, 11, may be incorporated in the flashlight adjacent the secondary coil.
- the charger unit 2 not only provides charging for the flashlight 1 but also provides a convenient means of storage.
- the charger unit 2 may take a variety of forms including a cradle, tray, holster, rack or hook and may be wall mounted, free standing or adapted for bench to use.
- the charger unit body includes a sheath 12 for receiving and locating a complementary shaft 13 of the flashlight housing.
- the shaft and sheath are dimensioned with respective diameters to provide adequate clearance for easy insertion, yet maintain the coils, 7 & 9, in close proximity.
- the respective longitudinal axes 14 of the shaft and sheath are substantially collinear and, the flashlight and flashlight charger unit are provided with linear, one directional "drop-in” or "slide-in” engagement and removal.
- the flashlight and flashlight charger unit include mutual abutment surfaces, respectively located on a bulbous head 15 and a support ring 16. As can be seen, the bulbous head 15 abuts with the support ring 16 to prevent the flashlight falling completely through the charger unit.
- mutual abutment surfaces may be embodied in a variety of ways without departing from the invention. These may include, frusto-conical cross sectional housings and corresponding sheaths, closed or partially closed bottom ends to the sheath, hooks, protrusions or formations on the flashlight and/or charger unit.
- the abutment surfaces provide longitudinal positioning such that the primary coil 9 and secondary coil 7 are adjacent one another in the charging position.
- the primary coil 9 in the charger unit may be configured to completely surround the secondary coil 7 in the flashlight.
- both coils may be symmetrically disposed around the respective longitudinal axes of the shaft and sheath, thereby removing any requirement for the user to consider radial alignment when engaging the flashlight in the charger unit.
- the flashlight is adapted for insertion and removal by linear one- directional motion which does not necessitate altering the one-handed-hold usual for carrying and operating the flashlight.
- removal of the flashlight requires no manual unclipping and can be performed by pulling on the flashlight body or handle. This enables the flashlight to be easily and expediently removed from the unit in emergency situations.
- the flashlight housing may include a single unit compartment, several connected compartments or include compartment separated by bulkheads.
- Fig. 3 shows the housing 3 split by bulk head 17, into electrical storage and induction coil compartments, 18 & 19, respectively containing the electrical storage device and secondary induction coil.
- the housing is waterproof and sealed to prevent ingress of outside elements such as dirt, fluids or gasses. Sealing the flashlight and/or the charger unit also provides several other advantages. Sealing allows the flashlight and/or the cradle to be disinfected or otherwise cleaned with liquid, and/or sterilised by heat. This ability may be particularly useful in medical or research institutions where biohazards exist and there are often multiple users of the same flashlight.
- the device may be sealed for life or have a manufacturer's sacrificial component to allow for professional refurbishment only. Limitation of refurbishment of the flashlight by authorised service departments may be desirable if they are to be used in hazardous environments.
- the flashlight includes a handle 20 attached to the housing.
- the sheath includes a corresponding longitudinally extending slot 21.
- Figs. 9 & 10 also show an alternative shaped housing and corresponding body, whereby the sheath and shaft include alignment formations 22 & 23, for multi-positional radial alignment. It will be appreciated that in this design the inductive charging coils do not completely surround the flashlight. Instead, the flashlight charger unit, incorporates semi-circular or planar primary coil arrangement to suit the physical nature of the flashlight body.
- the length and shape of the flashlight housing 3, may differ depending on the size and shape of the internal components, such as the energy storage devices 5. For instance, additional energy storage devices, which result in a flashlight of extended length may be required to provide the flashlight with an extended operational run ⁇ time.
- the shaft / sheath configuration allows a single flashlight charger unit to be capable of charging different length and shape flashlights.
- movable flaps and may be used to secure the flashlight. These flaps automatically move from an open position as shown in Figure 13, where they act as guides to aid alignment of the flashlight with the holster, to a closed position, shown in Figure 14, where they releasably contain and locate the flashlight within the charger unit. The flaps are moved between the closed and open positions automatically upon insertion and removal of the flashlight, respectively.
- the charger unit may be provided with additional securing means to prevent the flashlight jumping out of the holster in rough condition such as use on a boat, vehicle or aircraft.
- the securing means may be a hard and fast mechanical device or a soft shock/energy absorbing material.
- the charger unit and flashlight are designed to prevent dirt and foreign material from interfering with mutual engagement.
- the sheath and/or flashlight include wipers 24 to brush or wipe fluid and debris from the externally surfaces of the flashlight should it be soiled or wet when inserted in to the holster. Drainage conduits or voids are located to channel debris and fluid away from the flashlight charger unit interface. The wipers, channels and voids prevent foreign matter from interfering with the engagement of the flashlight to the charger unit thereby maintaining alignment of the primary and secondary coils. The additional drag caused by the wipers may also serve to prevent the flashlight jumping from the charger unit.

- the flashlight housing and charger unit body may also include various other components such as control circuitry, sensors, communication means and other components which will be described in more detail, hi general, there may be several alternatives for each of the components which by and large perform the same task. It will be appreciated that various combinations of components may be combined to produce the same or a similar result, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- Light Emitting Device The light emitting device 4 includes a white LED 25 (light emitting diode).
- the light emitting device may include any other type, or combination of illumination means in place of the LED, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- a normal incandescent bulb, halogen bulb, fluorescent bulb/tube or metal halide, light emitting device may be used.
- the light emitting device also includes a reflector 26 device for focussing emitted light.
- the light emitting device may be provided with adjustable focussing means for adjusting the spread of emitted light.
- the electrical energy storage device 5 could be, but not is limited to, any one or a combination of: lead acid battery, aNiCad (nickel-cadmium) battery, a NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride) battery, lithium ion battery, a capacitor, or any other rechargeable battery device.
- the flashlight and/or charging unit may include a charging control device to monitor and carefully control the charging cycle of the battery thereby reducing the impact of battery memory effects.
- the flashlight may be provided with a pressure relief valve 27 to prevent pressure build up.
- a pressure relief valve 27 Apart from pressure build-up due to charging gases, there are two other main reasons for gas build-up. One is when the flashlight is taken to a lower atmospheric environment, for instance high altitude. The other is when the flashlight, for whatever reason, leaks water into the casing and into the batteries. The batteries can then decompose and release excessive gases which can result in the flashlight exploding. Accordingly, the pressure relief valve to automatically reduce pressure within any one of the sealed housings, as required.
- the flashlight and/or remote charge may be equipped with a charging and discharging control system.
- the control system is designed to protect and prolong battery life.
- the control system may be configured to prevent full discharge of the battery which may be harmful to some rechargeable battery types. It may also provide warning to the user that the flashlight is low on power. The warning may involve an audible or visual indicator.
- a state of charge indicator comprising one or more LEDs may be included on the flashlight and/or on the charger unit, shown as 28 & 29 respectively.
- the control system may also be configured to control the charging cycle by managing the rate of charge. For instance, the control system may reduce the charging rate as the battery nears full charge, hi some battery types this helps to achieve a "full" charge of the battery. In other cases the control system may pulse charge the battery to maintain full charge if the flashlight is unused for an extended period.
- a state of charge indicator may be located on the external surface of the charger unit so that the level of charge of the battery can be easily determined by the user.
- the control system may also allow for the connecting to various power supplies including but not limited to, mains supplies, generator supply, vehicle electrical systems or solar photovoltaic systems.
- the control system may be provided with appropriate means to cope with variation in current, amperage and/or frequency of such alternative power supplies. For instance, when the supply voltage reaches a first pre-set level, the control system may be configured to turn on for the required period to allow flashlight charging. Should the voltage then decrease to a second preset level, the charger may be configured to disconnect or significantly reduce the power drawn from the main supply. This may prove useful when operating from a solar photovoltaic or vehicular supply.
- control system may include complementary flashlight and charger unit control systems 30 & 31, for controlling charging and/or the light emitting device.
- the control system may also include sensor means, the control system being responsive toward the sensing means.
- the sensor may comprise a simple mechanical switch detecting whether an object is in the charger unit and switch the primary coil on or off as appropriate.
- the sensor means may include electronic communication means in the flashlight and charger unit, 32 & 33. The communication means may confirm not only that an object is located in the storage device, but also that the object is a compatible flashlight. This provides an important safety feature to ensure that the primary coil is active only when appropriate.
- Other information which may be communicated by the communication means may include: correctly positioned engagement of flashlight and charger unit; level of charge of the electrical energy storage device; type of flashlight in the charger; type of electrical energy storage device; and/or availability of electrical power supply.
- the control system may react in response to this date by modifying charging cycles or alerting the user via visual or audible signals.
- the flashlight may be set such that it automatically turns on when either the mains power is terminated, the flashlight is removed from the cradle, or remotely from a switched device, such as the opening of a normal light-triggered vehicle or other door etc.
- Switching Unit may react in response to this date by modifying charging cycles or alerting the user via visual or audible signals.
- the flashlight may be set such that it automatically turns on when either the mains power is terminated, the flashlight is removed from the cradle, or remotely from a switched device, such as the opening of a normal light-triggered vehicle or other door etc.
- the switch 6 to turn the light on or off is of the non-contact type such that there is no physical connection between the external operated mechanism and the internal electrical breaker/switch.
- the flashlight case integrity is therefore not breached.
- virtually any type of electrical switch may be used. This would include simple contact switches and more sophisticated electrical touch pads.
- the switching unit may also be incorporated into the control system.
- the flashlight is totally sealed, and has no exposed electrical terminals, it is particularly suited to usage in extreme environments. Moreover, the combined charger/storage unit allows for rapid access to the flashlight in emergency situations. In particular, it should be noted that the recharging operation is conducted without breaching the sealed flashlight casing.
