2. Description of Related Arts
Military, law enforcement, fire and rescue personnel, security personnel, hunters and recreational boaters among others for nighttime surveillance in any application commonly use handheld halogen searchlights, where a high intensity spotlight is required. Nowadays, such application is highly demeaned in all anti-terrorists actions that take place at nighttime. Conditions of use are highly varied, but generally require the light to deliver a desired field of view at long distances, be reliable, durable and field maintainable in order for it to be practically used in the designed applications. Typically the light is hand carried and must be completely operable using simple and easily access manual controls, which do not require the use of two hands. In prior art xenon short-arc searchlights or illumination systems, whether handheld, portable or fixed mounted, the luminance distribution of the arc has been positioned facing in the direction of the beam (cathode to the rear), to provide a uniform beam pattern when the arc is at the focal point of the parabolic reflector. When the arc is moved slightly beyond (or slightly rearward of) the reflector's focal point, the combination of a placing all available light in the high magnification section of the reflector and collecting it in a slightly convergent manner produces roughly twice the operating range as a conventional anode-forward device.
Also, all prior arts of lanterns are focusing mainly of power sources or power supply to power up lanterns. Seldom of prior arts are aiming to improve lighting angles as most lanterns are used with handheld or placed on a table/floor or even placed with a hat. However, it is very obviously that lantern with an ability to rotate with certain degree of angles s so needed.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,685,337 provides a lanterns which combine both a flashlight with a candle together to ensure said lantern can still light up when power source is done or batteries are all used up. However, the lighting range, lighting angles and the lighting power of a candle are minimal. Such lantern light up by a candle will not be the most useful tool in an event of a big area.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,629,767 discloses a lantern with a batteries compartment with shock absorber lining to protect batteries contained therein from damage due to excessive shock applied to said batteries. Again, this lantern is only aiming a power supply to said lantern but lighting range and lighting angle are being ignored.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,702,452 provides a lantern with a tripod supporting mean. The mounting is a tripod mount so that the portable searchlight may be fixed in the field to a tripod with the second device. The mounting on the handle is a thumbscrew mount to permit mounting of an optical detection device onto the searchlight and rigidly fixed to the housing. However, this lantern provide without no ability to move any angle to obtain a better light range.
The main object of the present invention is to provide halogen having a supporting means and such supporting means can provide an ability to rotate an angle more than 90 degree so as to provide a platform for user to place said halogen searchlight on a flat surface.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a halogen searchlight with power station having a supporting means and such supporting mean can provide an ability to rotate and/or to move any angles within 180° circular arc.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a halogen searchlight with power station having an ability to adopt difference power source supplies.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a halogen searchlight with power station having a supporting means and such supporting mean can provide an adjustable mean with a tight or loose positions so as to controlling such supporting mean in a locked position or in a rotating position to reach the best lighting range and lighting angles.
Accordingly, to achieve the above objects, a halogen searchlight with power station comprises:
a rectangular housing, inside of it contains a mean of lighting source;
a plurality of reflector is fixed around said mean of light source; and
a transparent front flat board;
a sealed packing collar is connecting a inner portion of said transparent front flat board and said reflector which resides inside of an annular nut, said annular nut providing a fixed position and a disassembled position on front portion of said housing. Surface of said annular nut, which is located in front of said housing, set an annular shockproof nut. It is made of rubber or other soft material to prevent said halogen searchlight with power station from shocks or quakes when excessive external force applied to it.
Said handle bar can make relative movements between position one and position two. At position one; said handle bar aligns with the light body at parallel level to provide users with a handle for comfortable operation. At position two, the said handle bar aligns with the light body at perpendicular position to provide users with a handle for comfortable operation. The aforesaid high-tech sustainable super light can rotate around the revolving string at the bottom of the handle bar with a 180° arc to any position, thus to provide the optimal lighting angle for the long-life super light.
