SPOTLIGHT. v
Application filed November 30, .1923. Serial No. 677,802.
as are commonly used upon automobiles and the like and has for its principal object to generally improve upon devices of this na-. ture by providing a simple and eflicient construction, one which is reliable, comparative- 1y inexpensive to manufacture, durable, attractive in appearance, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
A, still further object of the invention is to provide a spot light-having a handle provided with a source of illumination that may be utilized as a dash light or the'like for an automobile. v
With the above and numerous other objects in view as-will appear as. the description proceeds the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is aside elevation of the device embodying my invention; and
Figure 2 is a section through the handle portion thereof.
Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that 1 designates a shank which is movably mounted in a socket 2 which in the present instance is attached in a well known manner to a wind shield 3. The forward end ofthe shank supports the usual spot light 4 while the rear end is provided with a handle casing 5 curved so that the portion 6 extends at substantial right angles to the shank 1. This handle casing 5 .as is shown to advantage in Figure 2 fits over the rear end of the shank 1 and the lower end of the portion 6 is provided interiorly with a reflector 7 and an electric light socket 8 is mounted the partition 9 disposed at the upper end of the portion 6 so as to projectinto the reflector and receive a bulb 10. A contact 11 is provided on the socket 8 and another contact 12 is disposed in spaced relation thereto being mounted in the insulating block 13. One of the leads 14: is attached to the contact 12. The leads pass through an opening 15 provided in that portion of the handle which is disposed over the shank 1. Some of these leads communicate with the conventional bulls-eye structure 4.
A slot 16 is provided in the curved portion of the handle 5 and a switch plate 17 is mounted adjacent the opening by having a pin 18 projected therethrough. An insulating strip 19 is disposed between the interior surface of the handle casing 5 and the plate 17. The plate 17 is always in contact with the contact 11 and by moving the pin 18 may be slid into engagem nt with the contact 12 to cause the illumination of the bulb 10.
It is evident that this spotlight embodied in the handle is very useful as a dash light for the automobile especially since i can be moved so as to illuminate any 'desii ed area 'of the car. The particular structu'; of the invention which I have disclosed refers to the preferred embodiment thereof and it is evident that numerous changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed without sacrificing any of its advantages.
Vhat is claimed is:
1. An illuminating device including a shank, 'means disposed intermediate the ends of the shank formounting the shank so that it may be moved at various angles in relation to a. support, a spot light at one end of the shank, a handle at the other end of said shank, said handle being in the 'form of a hollow casing and asource of illumination in said hollow casing.
2. An illuminating device of the class described for use in conjunction with windshields and the like support including a spot light. a shank extended from the spot light, means intermediate-the ends of the shank for mounting the shank so \that the same may be moved at various angles in relation to the windshield, and a handle projecting angularly from the shank and including means of illumination therein.
3. In a spot light of the class described,
of the class described, the spot light so that thesame may be moved in various directions, a v In testimony whereof I aflix my signature handle'for the spot light including a hollowin presence of two witnesses. casing, a reflector disposed in the end of the casing, an electric socket associated with the JOHN WILSON 5 reflector, a bulb in the socket, and a switch Witnesses: in the casing associated with the electric HARRY P.
