PORTABLE NECK LIGHT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18627905 titled 'PORTABLE NECK LIGHT

The patent application describes a portable neck light with a neck band that allows rotation of the light head relative to the band within a rotation plane.

  • The neck light includes a neck band with an arm extending to a distal end.
  • The distal end defines a rotation axis for the light head.
  • A shaft is coupled to the light head and the neck band, enabling rotation of the light head within an angular range of motion.
  • The light head is supported for continuous movement about the rotation axis.

Potential Applications:

  • Reading in bed without disturbing a partner.
  • Hands-free lighting for outdoor activities like camping or hiking.
  • Task lighting for crafts or DIY projects.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides targeted lighting without the need for handheld devices.
  • Allows for adjustable lighting angles for various activities.

Benefits:

  • Hands-free convenience.
  • Adjustable lighting for different tasks.
  • Portable and lightweight design.

Commercial Applications:

  • Ideal for use in industries such as healthcare, mechanics, and outdoor recreation.
  • Can be marketed to individuals who need hands-free lighting solutions.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the neck light stay in place on the user's neck?

  - The neck band is designed to be comfortable and secure during use.

2. What type of light source does the light head use?

  - The patent does not specify a particular light source, but it could potentially use LED technology for energy efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A portable neck light includes a neck band having an arm extending to a distal end, the distal end defining a rotation axis. A light head is coupled to the distal end of the arm. A shaft is coupled to the light head and the neck band to allow rotation of the light head relative to the neck band about the rotation axis within a rotation plane. The light head is supported for continuous movement within an angular range of motion about the rotation axis.
