Definitions

  • This invention relates, in general, to a portable emergency lighting lamp with improved functionality.
  • the invention refers to the possibility of combining the functionality of a portable emergency lighting lamp with those of a battery charger.
  • an aim of the present invention is, therefore, to design a portable emergency lighting lamp with improved functionality, which is able to combine the functions of a portable emergency lighting lamp with those of a battery charger, in order to offer to the user a product which can be used both as batteries portable lamp, in emergency conditions, and as device for charging additional batteries which can be extracted in case of need and used in the most disparate electric and/or electronic equipments.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to realize a portable emergency lighting lamp with improved functionality, which further presents a compact structure, an immediate switching on and high energy savings, as well as which is highly secure and reliable.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide a portable emergency lighting lamp with improved functionality, at substantially contained costs, by virtue of the benefits achieved.
  • the idea at the basis of the present invention is to combine the functionality of a portable emergency lighting lamp with a battery charger.
  • the portable emergency lighting lamp object of the present invention has a substantially parallelepiped structure, with smoothed lateral edges, which defines a shaped top portion 16, containing at least one light source 11 and the relative on/off switch 10, and a shaped bottom portion 14, containing inside a space for the insertion of rechargeable batteries.
  • the switch 10 of the light source 11 is obtained on the upper surface 17 of the shaped portion 16, the light source 11 consisting, in a preferred but not limiting embodiment, of at least one LED diode.
  • the portable emergency lighting lamp is also provided with a side door 12, having the relative imprint 13 for the facilitated opening of the same by a user, whose opening gives access to a container space, inside the shaped bottom portion 14 of the casing 15 of the portable lighting lamp, suitable to accommodate a plurality of rechargeable batteries of AA or AAA type (typically in the number of four), which can be extracted by the user and used in case of need in various electric and/or electronic equipments.
  • AA or AAA type typically in the number of four
  • a supply cable provided with plug (not shown in the attached figures), which is connected to an electric and/or electronic recharge circuit of the batteries contained in the space inside the portion 14.
  • the recharging of the aforesaid batteries occurs by connecting the supply cable above mentioned to a network socket.
  • the recharging can occur not only through the connection to the network, but also through a connection with 12 Volt DC socket, such as, for example, the lighter socket of the car; in such a case, of course, the recharging circuit of the batteries will be properly implemented and dimensioned.
  • the emergency lighting lamp is provided with at least one additional battery to assure the functioning of the light source 11, even in the absence of the batteries contained in the recharge space inside the portion 14 of the casing 15.
  • the portable emergency lighting lamp described above can use the rechargeable batteries contained in the space inside the portion 14 of the casing 15 as additional charge tank for the functioning of the light source 11.
  • the switching from an ordinary supply type (using the supply battery of the light source 11) to an extraordinary supply type (using, as supply for the operation of the light source 11, the plurality of rechargeable batteries contained in the space inside the portion 14 of the casing 15) can be done manually, through the use of a special switch placed on the portable lighting lamp, or automatically, through a specific electronic circuit connected to the recharging circuit inside the lighting lamp.
