Peter Tucker and Scott Wilson. Actual Inventor(s): Address for Service: Invention Title: Spruson Ferguson, Patent Attorneys Level 33 St Martins Tower, 31 Market Street Sydney, New South Wales, 2000, Australia Light Holder ASSOCIATED PROVISIONAL APPLICATION DETAILS [31] Application No(s) [33] Country PP5653 AU [32] Application Date 2 September 1998 The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us:- 5815 Light Holder Technical Field The present invention relates to holders to support a light and more particularly, portable lights.
Background of the Invention Portable lights are used in a wide variety of applications but more particularly, in industry. For example, in the automotive industry, portable lights are used to illuminate areas beneath motor vehicles.
Previously available devices which support portable lights have suffered from i0 the disadvantage that frequently they cannot be secured in a desired position and further, may not be properly support.
Object of the Invention It is the object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate at least one of the above disadvantages or to provide a useful alternative.
Summary of the Invention There is disclosed herein a holder for supporting a portable light, said holder including: a substantially rectangular elongate base defining a longitudinal axis, said base comprising: 20 a pair of apertures extending through said base substantially normal to said axis; a concave lower surface adapted to receive and retain said light; and a pair of adjustable straps passing through said apertures and adapted to pass completely around said light for securing said light in said concave surface of said base; an elongate magnetic portion to attach the holder to a steel surface so that the light secured thereto is located adjacent a work surface; and a bridge portion attaching the magnetic portion to the base such that the magnetic portion and said base are spaced from and extend parallel to one another.
Preferably, the magnetic portion extends in a first direction from the bridge portion and the base extends in a direction opposite to the direction of extension of the magnetic portion.
Preferably, said magnetic portion and said base extend in opposite directions away from said bridge portion.
[R:\LIBLL] 14412spccidoc:keh Brief Description of the Drawings Preferred forms of the present invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a holder to support a portable object such as a portable light; Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of a modification of the holder of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of a further modification of the holder of Figure 1; 1o Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view of a still further modification of the holder of Figure 1; and Figure 5 is a schematic perspective view of yet a further modification of the holder of Figure 1.
Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment In Figure 1 the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted a holder to support a portable light. The holder 10 includes a base 11 which is elongated and has a pair of apertures 12. Passing through each aperture 12 is a belt 13, with the belts 13 being adapted to pass around the portable light to secure the light to the base 11.
Preferably, the belts 13 would be adjustable in length. The base 11 has a surface 14, which is concave and adapted to fit against the portable light.
The holder 10 further includes a magnetic portion 15 which would include a magnet. The magnet may be embedded with the magnetic portion 15. The portion includes a generally planar surface 16 and a projection 17.
Extending between the magnetic portion 15 and base 11 is a bridge 18.
The above-mentioned bridge 18 spaces the base 11 from the magnetic portion More particularly, the magnetic portion 15 extends in the direction of the arrow 19 from the bridge 18, while the base 11 extends in the direction of the arrow 20 from the ::bridge 18.
Preferably, the above-mentioned holder would be moulded from plastics material with the magnet embedded therein. Typically, the straps 13 would be formed of plastics material and may have overlapping end portions provided with Velcro or similar fastening materials so that the effective diameter defined by the belts 13 is adjustable to suit lights of different sizes.
[R:\LIBLL] I4412speci.doc:keh 3 Preferably, the projection 17 defines a step 21 adjacent the bridge 18.
In the embodiment of Figure 2, the magnetic portion 15 is of a generally circular configuration.
In the embodiment of Figure 3, the base 11 and magnetic portion 15 are generally parallel and the bridge 18 generally perpendicular thereto.
In the embodiment of Figure 4, the magnetic portion 15 is attached to the neck 18 by means of a pivot pin 23 which enables the magnetic portion 15 to pivot about the axis 22.
In the embodiment of Figure 5, the magnetic portion 15 projects from the bridge 18 in the direction of the arrow 20. The base 11 is generally parallel to the magnetic portion 15, with the bridge 18 being generally perpendicular thereto.
The above described preferred embodiments have been described by way of example only with reference to a portable light.
It should be appreciated that the holder 10 can support any portable object such as a tradesman's tool, a cordless (mobile) phone or even aerosol cans.
