Abstract

The present invention is to provide a structure of an illumination apparatus comprising a sucker mounted in a bottom of a base thereof to provide the base with an adsorptive power. A power supply housing is extended upwardly on a central top portion of the base, wherein a power supply part is mounted in the power supply housing for providing with the electric power and a switch is mounted on the outside of the power supply housing so as to turn on or turn off the electric power provided by the power supply part. An adjustable device is mounted on a top of the power supply housing, wherein a housing is mounted on one end of the adjustable device and a light emitting device is mounted in the housing so as to twist the adjustable device to provide with the purpose of multi-angle adjustments.

Claims

1. A structure of an illumination apparatus comprising:

a base having a hollow shape bottom for exactly receiving a sucker so as to provide the base with an adsorptive power;

a power supply housing extended upwardly on a central top portion of the base, wherein a power supply part is mounted in the power supply housing for providing with the electric power and a switch is mounted on the outside of the power supply housing so as to turn on or turn off the electric power provided by the power supply part; and

an adjustable device mounted on a top of the power supply housing, where in a housing is mounted on one end of the adjustable device and a light emitting device is mounted in the housing so as to twist the adjustable device to provide multi-angle adjustments,

wherein the illumination apparatus arranged to cooperate with a clamping member for positioning the illumination apparatus, the clamping member comprising;

a clamping base having openings on its three sides, wherein the clamping base is composed of a top plate and a bottom plate mounted in parallel and spaced at a predetermined distance, and a connection plate is connected to one side of the top plate and the bottom plate respectively; and

a movable clamping plate mounted in the openings of the clamping base and on the bottom plate, wherein an adjusting shaft is mounted below the clamping plate and penetrates through the bottom plate such that the clamping plate can be moved upward or downward by rotating the adjusting shaft so as to clamp a fixed object firmly through the clamping plate and the top plate, the sucker on the bottom of the illumination apparatus being attached tightly on a surface of the top plate.

2. The structure of an illumination apparatus of claim 1 wherein the power supply part is composed of at least one battery and covered by a cover mounted on an outer wall of the power supply housing.

3. The structure of an illumination apparatus of claim 1 wherein the power supply part is composed of an AC/DC adapter, wherein the external electric power can be guided into the power supply part by inserting a plug into a socket mounted on an outer sidewall of the power supply housing.

4. The structure of an illumination apparatus of claim 1 wherein the power supply part is composed of a charging device.

5. The structure of an illumination apparatus of claim 1 wherein the adjustable device is a flexible pipe covered with a metal serpentine pipe on its outside.

6. The structure of an illumination apparatus of claim 1 wherein a penetrating hole is mounted on an extension position of the base with respect to the power supply housing, a block shaft is mounted on the bottom of the penetrating hole, a pillar having a slot on its central portion is extended upwardly on a center portion of the sucker such that the sucker can penetrate the block shaft to be fitted within a bottom of the power supply housing and the base, a spring is mounted on an outside of the pillar, and a push member is provided, wherein a head of the push member penetrates through the block shaft of the penetrating hole and pivotally mounted in the slot of the pillar through a pin.

7. The structure of an illumination apparatus of claim 1 wherein the adjustable device is a rotator, and one end of the rotator is pivotally mounted on the power supply housing, the other end of the rotator comprises two arms spaced in a predetermined distance to pivotally mount the housing between these two arms.

8. The structure of an illumination apparatus of claim 1 wherein a flange for exactly receiving the sucker is mounted on the top plate to protect the sucker from peeling off due to an external force.
