Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rechargeable portable electric light, and in particular, a handle is rotatably supported on a lamp body which houses a secondary battery etc. and has a charging plug protruding from the back. It relates to a device that pivots a plug cover that covers a charging plug.

Conventionally, some rechargeable portable lights have a charging plug rotatably attached to the lamp body so that it rotates and protrudes only when charging, and others have a removable charging plug attached to the lamp body and plug it only when charging. There are things that make parts stand out.

However, the former has the disadvantage that the structure of the power feeding part including the charging plug is complicated, and the latter has the disadvantage that there is a risk of the charging plug being lost. The present invention has been made in view of these drawbacks, and includes a charging plug that protrudes directly from the lamp body, and a plug cover that covers the plug when the plug is not in use. It is pivoted to a pivoted handle so that there is no risk of losing it and it does not get in the way.

Hereinafter, the portable electric lamp of the present invention will be explained according to the embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is a cylindrical main body case with a front opening, 2 is a lens frame to which a lens 3 is attached and covers the front opening. A cylindrical lamp body 4 is formed, and a reflecting mirror 5, a light bulb 6, and a secondary battery 7 are installed inside this lamp body 4.
, a charging mechanism such as a transformer 8, etc., are housed therein.

Furthermore, an insertion hole 11 is formed on the upper surface of the cylinder circumference of the main body case 1, from which an insertion tube 10 extending, which has a pair of fitting records 9, 9 on the upper end surface, is formed, and on the lower surface of the cylinder circumference, an insertion hole 11 is formed on the upper surface of the cylinder circumference. A protruding shaft support tube 13 with a rib 12 extending thereon is formed, and a plug mounting protrusion 15 from which a pair of charging plugs 14, 14 for supplying power to the charging mechanism is protruded is provided on the back surface 1a. A recess 17 having an engaging wall 16 in the vertical direction is provided on the back surface 1a near the protrusion 15. 18 has an upper end 18a and a lower end 18b pivotally supported by the insertion tube 10 and the shaft supporting protrusion tube 13 of the main body case 1, and rotates from the left side of the main body case 1 to the right side via the back side. This upper end 18 is a movable elastic synthetic resin handle.
It once rises from a to form a horizontal handle portion 18c, and continues to the lower end 18b via a hanging portion 18d) and an oblique side portion 18e.

In this handle 18, reference numeral 19 denotes an upper circular hole provided at the upper end 18a and fitted into the insertion tube 10, and on the inner peripheral surface of the upper circular hole 19, a pair of engaging protruding walls 19', 19' are provided. At the periphery of the lower end surface of the upper circular hole 19, there is provided a large fitting rim that enters from the periphery of the insertion tube 10 other than the fitting ridges 9 when the handle 18 is positioned in front of the lamp body 4. 20a and a small fitting edge 20b extend in the inner circumferential direction, and when the handle 18 is rotated from both left and right sides to the back side, the large fitting edge 20
a and the small fitting edge 20b are held between the upper surface of the cylindrical peripheral portion of the main body case 1 and the pair of fitting projections 9, 9 to prevent the fitting from coming off. Furthermore, reference numeral 21 denotes a lower circular hole bored in the lower end 18b of the handle 18 and into which the shaft supporting protruding tube 13 is rotatably fitted;
It has an insertion notch 22 that communicates with this lower circular hole 21 from the end surface of 8b, and further has a spacer attachment hook 23 on this lower end surface. 24 is the insertion notch 22
The spacer is inserted into the spacer mounting hook 23 and fixed by fitting into the spacer mounting hook 23. After the upper end 18a of the handle 18 is pivotally supported on the upper surface of the cylindrical circumference of the main body case 1, the shaft is fixed. The supporting protruding tube 13 is attached to the handle 18
By inserting the handle 1 into the lower circular hole 21 through the insertion notch 22 and then fixing the spacer 24, the handle 1
8 is rotatably supported on the lamp body 4. The lower end 18 of the periphery of the lower circular hole 21 of this handle 18
A plurality of grooves 25, 25... are provided on b, and a protrusion 26 is provided on the surface of the rib 12 of the shaft supporting protruding tube 13 facing the grooves 25, 25..., respectively. The handle 18 is configured as an articulating mechanism that articulately rotates the handle 18 with respect to the lamp body 4.

Further, 27 is a plug cover mounting protrusion protruding from the hanging part 18d of the oblique side 18e of the handle 18, and has protruding shafts 28, 28 at both left and right ends. This is a knock spring with moving surfaces 29'' facing each other.

Reference numeral 30 designates a plug cover having a U-shaped cross section and consisting of a base piece 31 and a pair of cover pieces 32, 32 hanging down from both sides of this base piece 31, and base ends 32a, 32a of these cover pieces 32, 32.
The shaft support holes 33, 33 are pivotally supported on the protruding shafts 28, 28, so that the base piece 31 is rotatably located within the space surrounded by the handle 18. The cover piece 32 has a length such that its free end 3' fits into the recess 17 when the handle 18 is positioned perpendicular to the handle 1a, and a knock spring is provided in the portion of the cover piece 32 that faces the knock spring 29. 29 to keep the charging plug 14 covered and exposed. , 16 are formed.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a disk-shaped switch support plate that is attached to the upper circular hole 19 of the handle 18, and a hook bar 37 that is hooked to the insertion hole 11 of the main body case 1 through the upper circular hole 19.
A pair of legs 37, 37 having ``, 37'' at the tips are formed to hang down, and a notched contact portion 38 is provided which comes into contact with the engagement protruding wall 19'' of the circular hole 19 when attached to the upper circular hole 19. The support plate 36 is configured to rotate together with the rotation of the handle 18.

Furthermore, 39 is a sliding square hole 40 of this switch support plate 36.
Slide switch knob slidably inserted into 41
is a switch contact plate which is pressed and fixed to the hanging leg 3V of this knob 39 and slides on the switch board 42.

When using this portable light, the handle 18 is kept perpendicular to the lamp body 4, and the slide switch knob 39 is operated while the free end of the plug cover 30 is fitted into the recess 17 of the main body case 1. At this time, the plug cover 30 covers the charging plug 14 to protect the plug 14 and also serves to prevent the handle 18 from rotating relative to the lamp body 1.

Furthermore, when charging this portable light, the plug cover 30 is rotated directly upward to expose the charging plug 14, and the handle 18 is rotated to the right or left side of the lamp body 4, and the charging plug 14 is inserted into the room. It is designed to be plugged into a power outlet (not shown).

As described above, the portable electric light of the present invention includes a lamp body that houses a light bulb and a secondary battery and has a charging plug protruding from the back side, and a lamp body with both ends pivotally supported on both sides of the lamp body. a handle that is rotatable from one to the other on the back surface; a pivot end is pivotally supported by the handle and is rotatably located within a space surrounded by the handle, and the free end thereof is in contact with the back surface; a plug cover that covers the charging plug in the state;
, the charging plug is fixed directly to the back of the lamp body, simplifying the configuration and improving ease of assembly.
Furthermore, the plug cover that covers this plug is pivotally supported by the handle, so there is no risk of losing it.Furthermore, this handle can be rotated to the side of the lamp body, so it does not get in the way when charging and reduces the storage space when stored. This has the effect of
