Light for jack

Abstract

A light for a jack includes a housing having a chamber therein to receive a battery set, two pivot portions at two exterior sides thereof and a light portion at a top thereof. Two pivot devices are pivoted on the pivot portions of the housing respectively to be moved to change an angle relative to the housing. Each of the pivot devices is provided with a magnet to couple the pivot devices with the jack by a magnetic force of the magnets.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to an illuminating device, and more particularly to a light for a jack.

2. Description of the Related Art

Engineer usually operates a jack to lift a car for repair. The place under the car is low and dark so that the engineer has to lie on the ground and touch the place by hand to locate the position to place the jack. Someone uses a light to illuminate the working place. But the engineer has one hand holding the jack and the other hand putting on the ground to maintain the posture that there is no hand free to hold the light. Even there is a light illuminating the space between the bottom of the car and ground, the light is hard to illuminate the narrow space at every place the engineer wants.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a light for a jack for illumination the space under car when one use the jack to lift the car.

The secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a light for a jack, which the light is able to illuminate the jack for user to move the jack.

According to the objectives of the present invention, a light for a jack includes a housing having a chamber therein to receive a battery set, two pivot portions at two exterior sides thereof and a light portion at a top thereof, and two pivot devices pivoted on the pivot portions of the housing respectively to be moved to change an interior angle relative to the housing, each of which is provided with a magnet to couple the pivot devices with the jack by a magnetic force of the magnets.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a light for jack of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises:

A housing 10 includes a chamber 11 with a battery set 12 received therein, and two pivot portions 13 at opposite sides thereof, and a light portion 14 at a top thereof. The light portion 14 includes a reflection member 15, a lens set 16 and a plurality of lamps 17. In the present embodiment, the housing is a curved member having the chamber 11 therein and a cover 18 to close the chamber 11. The battery set 12 is received in the chamber 11 to supply power. The housing 10 is provided with the light portion 14, which uses light emitting diode (LED) to be the light source, on the top. Each of the pivot portions 13 on the opposite sides of the housing 10 is two bulging pivot bases 19 separate at the side of the housing 10 respectively.

Two pivot devices 20 are pivoted on the pivot portions 13 of the housing 10 respectively for free rotation. Each of the pivot devices 20 is provided with a magnet 21 to couple the pivot devices 20 with the jack. In the present embodiment, the pivot devices 20 are two elongated block, each of which has an aperture 22 on a top and bottom respectively. The apertures 22 are engaged with the pivot bases 19 to pivot the pivot devices 20 on the housing 10.

With above, the present invention could be fixed to the jack by the magnets 21 on the pivot devices 20. The housing 10 may be adjusted upwards to illuminate the portions of the car that the jack holds. Because the housing 10 is pivoted on the pivot devices 20, the housing 10 can be adjusted the angle relative to the housing 10 for the various sizes of jacks. FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B shows the jacks with different sizes and the light of the present invention can be mounted on each jacks and adjusted to a desired angle according to the size of the hack. The light of the present invention will not interfere with the work of the jack also. As a result, the engineer has no problem with the illumination when operates the jack that facilitates the engineer to work.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the second preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a light, which is similar to the first preferred embodiment, except that the housing 10 is provided with a mirror 30. In the present invention, the housing 10 has a recess 101, and the mirror 30 has a ball 31 to be received in the recess 101 to pivot the mirror 30 on the housing 10. The mirror 30 can adjust the angle for the engineer to watch the hidden place via the mirror 30, so that the engineer has no longer to squeeze his/her body into the narrow space under the car to verify the operating condition of the jack.

Claims

1. A light, which is connected to a jack, comprising: a housing having a chamber therein to receive a battery set, two pivot portions at two exterior sides thereof and a light portion at a top thereof; and two pivot devices pivoted on the pivot portions of the housing respectively to be moved to change an angle relative to the housing, each of which is provided with a magnet to couple the pivot devices with the jack by a magnetic force of the magnets.

2. The light as defined in claim 1, further comprising a mirror pivoted on the housing.

3. The light as defined in claim 2, wherein the housing has a recess and the mirror has a ball received in the recess.

4. The light as defined in claim 1, wherein each of the pivot portions has two bulking pivot bases at a top and a bottom of the side of the housing respectively.

5. The light as defined in claim 4, wherein each of the pivot devices has an elongated block, which has an aperture on a top and a bottom respectively to be engaged with the pivot bases for pivot the pivot devices on the housing.

6. The light as defined in claim 1, wherein the housing is a curved member, and the pivot portions are on two ends of the curved member.
