Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lantern which has been substantially improved in order to better its functionality and usefulness.
  • the lantern of this invention has been especially conceived to fulfil its function as an instrument for illumination, leaving the hands of the user completely free so that with them the latter can carry out with greater facility the manipulations required in each case.
  • the lantern provided is shaped in the manner of an eyeshade which can be adapted to the head of the user so that, as well as ensuring the object mentioned above of leaving free the hands of the user, it ensures at all times that the luminous beam is orientated in the same direction as the vision of the user.
  • Another feature of the lantern of this invention is the fact that it is completly watertight, which permits its use under water.
  • the relatively low weight and volume in conjunction with its ease of manipulation makes the lantern of the invention an instrument which is both useful and convenient.
  • the lantern of the invention is constituted by a body based on three fundamental pieces which can be coupled together with the interpolation of watertight joints which ensure the watertightness referred to earlier, and in which are secured the various structural elements of the same.
  • a rear wall of part cylindrical shape for fitting to the user's forehead whilst at its front face there is a transparent wall, preferably a plastics sheet, which covers and protects a parabola which is likewise of part cylindrical shape but of curvature opposite to that of the rear wall.
  • a lampholder for the illumination lamp there is positioned in the interior of the body a lampholder for the illumination lamp, as well as a set of supply cells for the same, with the inclusion of an operating switch which, suitably waterproofed, is placed in the upper part of the body.
  • an elastic strap for fixing around the head and provided with means for altering its length.
  • an eyeshade capable of adopting a horizontal position, as a projection from the upper wall of the said body, or of being lowered onto the transparent front wall which protects the parabola, thus protecting in its turn the said transparent wall during periods of non-use of the lantern.
  • the lantern of the invention is constituted starting from a body having three parts (1,2,7).
  • An intermediate part (1) of prismatic-rectangular shape is open at the front and rear, as can be seen in Figure 1, and at its rear opening receives a rear part (2) of the body, whose rear wall (3) is curved according to an imaginary cylindrical sector and is covered by a layer (4) of nylon foam to adapt to the forehead of the user.
  • a lampholder (5) In this rear part (2) of the body there is seated a lampholder (5), as well as lateral stops (6) for holding in place a parabola (7) which is chromed and constitutes the third part (i.e. front part) of the body provided with a corresponding central opening (8) positioned operatively in front of the lampholder (5).
  • the rear part (2) is connected to the intermediate part (1) with the interpolation of a watertight seal (9), whilst after the positioning of the parabola (7) in the said intermediate part (1), there is attached to the same a rectangular sheet of transparent plastic (10), to act as a glass, again with the interpolation of a watertight seal (11).
  • the lateral zones of the rear part (2) are intended for the positioning of the supply cells (12) for a lamp (13).
  • the cells are four in number and of 1.5 volts, said cells being duly connected to the lamp (13) through a switch (14) constituted by a tumbler with two positions.
  • the lamp (13) is fixed in the lampholder (5) and in this position emerges substantially towards the concave zone of the parabola (7).
  • an elastic holding band (16) which passes about the head of the user and which is provided with a ring (17) for adjustment of its length.
  • the intermediate part (1) corresponding with its front upper vertices, there are situated respective studs (18) which provide an imaginary axis of pivoting for a foldable eyeshade (19) the height of which coincides with that of the front transparent plastic (10) which it has to cover and protect during periods of inoperation of the lantern.
  • the eyeshield (19) contains abutments (20) near to its free corners capable of keying under pressure on small studs (21) provided in the lower lateral zones of the said intermediate part (1), when the eyeshade adopts the position shown by reference -19'- in Figure 5.
  • the various integral parts of the body are coupled together hermetically by reason of the watertight joints (9 & 11), at the same time as the switch (14) is duly sealed, so that the lantern can be submerged without the least problem.
  • the small eyeshade (19) acts as an element of protection for the transparent plastic sheet (10), when the lantern is not used as such. Further, the said lantern is easily fitted to the forehead of the user by means of the elastic positioning strap (16), being extremely convenient as a result of the anatomical shaping of the rear wall (3) of its body and of the layer of nylon foam (4) with which said fitting wall is covered.
  • the stops (6) provide proper fixing for the parabola (7), whilst the cells (12) occupy dead spaces of the said body without requiring an increased volume for the same.
  • the abovementioned cells (12) can be used in pairs, independently or together.
  • the lantern can be fixed to the head of the user by means of the elastic positioning band (16), in the manner of an eyeshade, leaving free the two hands of the user for any type of operation which has to be carried out.
