Abstract

A mobile illumination system for a golf course comprises a vehicle and a lamp set, the vehicle can move around while the lamp set illuminates the golf course at night time, the lamp set is composed of at least two spot lights and is able to adjust its angle individually for golfers to strike ball and to aim destination.

Claims

1. A mobile illustration system for a golf course comprising a lamp set and a vehicle, wherein:

said vehicle comprising wheels and a steering wheel;

said lamp set being secured on said vehicle by at least one supporting mechanism and comprising a plurality of spot lights connected to suspensions and an angle adjusting mechanism being able to adjust the angle of said lamp set;

by movement of said vehicle and said steering wheel to adjust the angle of said lamp set.

2. The mobile illustration system for a golf course, as recited in claim 1, wherein said angle adjusting mechanism is formed with a linking set to drive said spot lights of said lamp set, wherein each of said spot lights comprising a pair of lugs protruding from the rear end of said spot light and secured to said relative suspension by a shaft, said linking set comprising a linking rod, a sliding block, a threaded rod, a motor and a sleeve, wherein the bottom of said spot light providing a shaft pivoted to one end of said linking rod, while the other end of said linking rod being pivoted to said sliding block by another shaft, said sliding block being threaded to said threaded rod, which then pivoted to said sleeve and being driven by said motor, thus, by moving said sliding rod along said threaded rod, said spot lights being controlled to move forward or rearward and to adjust the angle of said spot lights.

3. The mobile illustration system for a golf course, as recited in claim 1, wherein said angle adjusting mechanism is formed with a gear set to drive said spot lights of said lamp set, each of said spot lights having a pair of lugs protruding from the rear end of said spot light and secured to said relative suspension by a shaft, wherein said gear set comprising a motor, a driving gear meshing with a first driven gear, which then meshing with a second driven gear, and which fixed to said lugs, thus said lugs being driven by said motor to change its angle.

4. The mobile illustration system for a golf course, as recited in claim 2, wherein said lamp set is secured to said supporting mechanism by a shaft, and said lamp set protrudes a pair of lugs from the bottom, said angle adjusting mechanism is formed with a linking set to drive said lamp set, said lugs being pivoted to one end of said linking rod, whereby said sliding block sliding along said threaded rod to adjust the angle of said lamp set with said spot lights.

5. The mobile illustration system for a golf course, as recited in claim 3, said lamp set is secured to said supporting mechanism by a shaft, and said lamp set protrudes a pair of lugs from the bottom, said angle adjusting mechanism is formed with a gear set to drive said lamp set, said gear set being adapt to adjust the angle of said lamp set, wherein said lugs of said lamp set being fixed with a second driven gear of said gear set, thus by sliding said sliding block along said threaded rod forward and rearward to adjust the angle of said lamp set with said spot lights.
