Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flashlight with a housing, a light source, a lamp head with an attachment optics, which is longitudinally axially displaceable for focusing the emitted light cone relative to the light source and a clamping device for fixing the lamp head in a selectable longitudinal axial position.
  • Flashlights are already known in the art.
  • DE 29 50 850 C2 describes a luminaire which emits a substantially parallel light beam when the luminous body is at the focal point of the paraboloid of the reflector.
  • the beam can be changed by moving the bulb and the battery housing axially with respect to the lamp head and the reflector.
  • Such an axial displacement can be achieved by moving the cylinder sleeve axially with respect to the battery housing.
  • This axial movement can be done either by a simple axial sliding movement or by a rotational movement, together with a thread or with a slanted-slot guide system, for example, an oblique slot is provided in the lamp head, in which a pin engages, which is arranged on the battery housing ,
  • a disadvantage of such a flashlight is that the setting of the relative position between the lamp head or reflector and light source should be as smooth as possible, but this has the consequence that the relative position between the lamp head or reflector and light source already moved unintentionally even with slight shocks can be, which adjusts the set focus.
  • this problem is frequently observed.
  • a flashlight which can be focused and whose Larnpenkopf is fixed by means of a clamping device in a selectable longitudinal axial position, goes out US 4,398,238 out.
  • the clamping device has a clamping body which is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the flashlight and has at least one clamping element which is arranged at the end and can be pivoted or spread in the radial direction.
  • the possibility is advantageously created to connect a smooth and precisely adjustable focusing mechanism with a fixation possibility of the lamp head, so that the set focus position can not be adjusted.
  • a frictional or positive fixing of the lamp head is provided, wherein the clamping device is preferably operable via a rotational movement of the lamp head relative to the housing.
  • the focus position can be easily and precisely adjusted by longitudinal axial displacement of the lamp head, wherein the position can be fixed by a rotational movement of the lamp head. Both settings can be performed with one hand, which also increases the usability of the flashlight.
  • constructions are conceivable in which the longitudinal axial displacement of the reflector is effected relative to the light source by a rotational movement and the fixation by a longitudinal axial displacement of the lamp head.
  • the use of an expansion cone is suitable.
  • the clamping element slides on a rotation of the clamping body on a Bearing surface which is arranged so that the clamping element is increasingly pivoted or spread with increasing rotation of the clamping body in the radial direction.
  • the ramp surface on the one hand arranged parallel to the peripheral line of the flashlight and the clamping element may be tapered, or the ramp surface is aligned at an angle to the peripheral line of the flashlight and the clamping element has a constant thickness.
  • the lamp head In the assembled state of the flashlight, the lamp head surrounds the clamping device, so that an annular gap arises between the clamping device and the lamp head.
  • the clamping element is not pivoted or spread in the radial direction, so that the desired focus position can be adjusted.
  • the clamping element is preferably pivoted radially in such a way that it presses against the inner lateral surface of the lamp head, so that the lamp head is fixed in a frictionally engaged manner.
  • the clamping body has a driver, which engages in a groove of the lamp head, so that the clamping body is rotatable by rotation of the lamp head.
  • the clamping device maintains the set position even with strong shocks, preferably the clamping device in the clamping state in a detent position can be transferred, including the clamping body, in particular the clamping element, and / or the support surface, a groove and / or a corresponding locking lug.
  • the clamping device engages at a certain swept angle of rotation in a locked position, so that the lamp head is not unintentionally turned back into the unfixed position.
  • the present invention is not limited to clamping bodies having a single clamping element, but Klemrri emotions are also provided which have a plurality, preferably two, clamping elements.
  • the clamping body and in particular the clamping elements are formed as plastic injection molded parts.
  • the clamping device 1 has a clamping body 2 which is rotatably mounted about the longitudinal axis A of the flashlight 3.
  • the clamping body 1 rests on a base 5, on which in central position a light source, preferably an LED 21, is arranged.
  • a light source preferably an LED 21
  • the outer surfaces of the kidney-shaped elements 6, 6 'as run-on surfaces 7, 7' are formed.
  • the kidney-shaped elements 6, 6 ' serve as spacers for a cover plate 8 (see Fig. 2 ), which covers the clamping device 1 for attachment optics 20.
  • the clamping body 2 consists essentially of a along the diameter of the flashlight 3 arranged web 9, wherein for the implementation of the LED 21, a central recess 10 is provided. On the web 9, two clamping elements 11, 11 'are pivotally mounted in the radial direction, in abutment with the ramp surfaces 7, 7 'are.
  • the clamping body 2 has a radially projecting driver 12, which rests in the assembled state in a groove 13 of the lamp head 14.
  • an annular gap 17 is formed between the lamp head 14 and the housing 16 or the base 5, so that the lamp head 14 can be displaced in the longitudinal axial direction (arrow 4).
  • Fig. 2a shows an exploded view of a flashlight 3 with the housing 16, the lamp head 14, the base 5, the clamping body 2 and the cover plate. 8
  • the operation of the present flashlight is based on the sectional view of Fig. 3 to recognize.
  • the flashlight housing 16 has at its front end a base 5 which is connected to the cover plate 8 spaced. Between the cover plate 8 and the base 5, the clamping device 1 with the clamping elements 11, 11 'is arranged. Flashlight housing 16, base 5, clamping device 1 and cover plate 8 are encompassed by the lamp head 14, on the front side of an attachment optics 20 is arranged. In the unfixed position, the lamp head 14 can be moved longitudinally with respect to the LED 21, whereby the desired focus adjustment can be selected.
