Abstract

A clip light includes a light head including a light housing having a light window, and a LED light source supported in the light housing to align with the light window; a power source supported in the light housing; and a mounting arrangement which includes a clipping unit pivotally coupling with the light housing, wherein the light housing is selectively moved to adjust a light projecting orientation of the light source via the clipping unit when the clipping unit is coupled at the desired object.

Claims

1. A clip light, comprising:

a light head comprising a light housing having a light window, and a LED light source supported in said light housing to align with said light window;

a power source supported in said light housing; and

a mounting arrangement which comprises a clipping unit pivotally coupling with said light housing, wherein said light housing is selectively moved to adjust a light projecting orientation of said light source via said clipping unit when said clipping unit is coupled at the desired object.

2. The clip light, as recited in claim 1, wherein said clipping unit has a front end pivotally coupled with a bottom side of said light housing in such a manner that said clipping unit is adapted to pivotally and rearwardly fold to rest on said bottom side of said light housing and is adapted to pivotally and frontwardly fold to inclinedly extend from said bottom side of said light housing so as to selectively adjust said light projecting orientation of said light source.

3. The clip light, as recited in claim 2, wherein said clipping unit further has a front blocking surface provided at said front end thereof to bias said bottom side of said light housing when said clipping unit is frontwardly folded.

4. The clip light, as recited in claim 1, wherein said light housing comprises a housing body, an adjustable head supporting said LED light source thereat, and a joint member pivotally coupling said adjustable head with said housing body to enable said adjustable head being pivotally moved between a first projecting position that said adjustable head is upwardly and pivotally folded at a horizontal orientation and a second projecting position that said adjustable head is downwardly and pivotally folded at an inclined orientation.

5. The clip light, as recited in claim 2, wherein said light housing comprises a housing body, an adjustable head supporting said LED light source thereat, and a joint member pivotally coupling said adjustable head with said housing body to enable said adjustable head being pivotally moved between a first projecting position that said adjustable head is upwardly and pivotally folded at a horizontal orientation and a second projecting position that said adjustable head is downwardly and pivotally folded at an inclined orientation.

6. The clip light, as recited in claim 3, wherein said light housing comprises a housing body, an adjustable head supporting said LED light source thereat, and a joint member pivotally coupling said adjustable head with said housing body to enable said adjustable head being pivotally moved between a first projecting position that said adjustable head is upwardly and pivotally folded at a horizontal orientation and a second projecting position that said adjustable head is downwardly and pivotally folded at an inclined orientation.

7. The clip light, as recited in claim 4, wherein said light housing further has a first biasing surface formed at a rear side of said adjustable head and a second biasing surface formed at said bottom side of said adjustable head, such that when said adjustable head is upwardly and pivotally folded at said first projecting position, said first biasing surface is biased against a front side of said housing body, and when said adjustable head is downwardly and pivotally folded at said second projecting position, said second biasing surface is biased against said front side of said housing body.

8. The clip light, as recited in claim 5, wherein said light housing further has a first biasing surface formed at a rear side of said adjustable head and a second biasing surface formed at said bottom side of said adjustable head, such that when said adjustable head is upwardly and pivotally folded at said first projecting position, said first biasing surface is biased against a front side of said housing body, and when said adjustable head is downwardly and pivotally folded at said second projecting position, said second biasing surface is biased against said front side of said housing body.

9. The clip light, as recited in claim 6, wherein said light housing further has a first biasing surface formed at a rear side of said adjustable head and a second biasing surface formed at said bottom side of said adjustable head, such that when said adjustable head is upwardly and pivotally folded at said first projecting position, said first biasing surface is biased against a front side of said housing body, and when said adjustable head is downwardly and pivotally folded at said second projecting position, said second biasing surface is biased against said front side of said housing body.

10. The clip light, as recited in claim 6, wherein said clipping unit is pivotally coupled at said bottom side of said housing body.

11. The clip light, as recited in claim 9, wherein said clipping unit is pivotally coupled at said bottom side of said housing body.

12. The clip light, as recited in claim 1, wherein said power source has a battery compartment provided at said light housing receiving at least a battery, and a compartment enclosure pivotally coupled with said light housing to selectively enclose said battery compartment.

13. The clip light, as recited in claim 6, wherein said power source has a battery compartment provided at said light housing receiving at least a battery, and a compartment enclosure pivotally coupled with said light housing to selectively enclose said battery compartment.

14. The clip light, as recited in claim 11, wherein said power source has a battery compartment provided at said light housing receiving at least a battery, and a compartment enclosure pivotally coupled with said light housing to selectively enclose said battery compartment.

15. The clip light, as recited in claim 12, wherein said light housing has an attachment surface defined at said bottom side of said light housing to pivotally couple with said clipping unit and an opposed unattachment surface pivotally coupling with said compartment enclosure.

16. The clip light, as recited in claim 13, wherein said light housing has an attachment surface defined at said bottom side of said light housing to pivotally couple with said clipping unit and an opposed unattachment surface pivotally coupling with said compartment enclosure.

17. The clip light, as recited in claim 14, wherein said light housing has an attachment surface defined at said bottom side of said light housing to pivotally couple with said clipping unit and an opposed unattachment surface pivotally coupling with said compartment enclosure.

18. The clip light, as recited in claim 15, wherein said power source further comprise one or more switch controls provided at said unattachment surface of said light housing for controllably switching said light source in an on-and-off manner, wherein said light head further comprises a light reflection housing received in said adjustable head to retain said light source in position, wherein said light reflection housing has a reflection surface for reflecting light from said light source towards said light window for enhancing a light intensity of said light source.

19. The clip light, as recited in claim 16, wherein said power source further comprise one or more switch controls provided at said unattachment surface of said light housing for controllably switching said light source in an on-and-off manner, wherein said light head further comprises a light reflection housing received in said adjustable head to retain said light source in position, wherein said light reflection housing has a reflection surface for reflecting light from said light source towards said light window for enhancing a light intensity of said light source.

20. The clip light, as recited in claim 17, wherein said power source further comprise one or more switch controls provided at said unattachment surface of said light housing for controllably switching said light source in an on-and-off manner, wherein said light head further comprises a light reflection housing received in said adjustable head to retain said light source in position, wherein said light reflection housing has a reflection surface for reflecting light from said light source towards said light window for enhancing a light intensity of said light source.
