Abstract:
1. A spotlight, comprising: a main housing; an illumination device received in said main housing for generating illumination; and an angle adjusting arrangement which comprises: an adjustable handle, having a predetermined curvature, outwardly extended and rotatably mounted to said main housing and is arranged to selectively and rotatably move with respect to said main housing so as to selectively adjust an angle of inclination between said adjustable handle and said main housing; and a locking mechanism coupled between said adjustable handle and said main housing for selectively retaining said adjustable handle at a predetermined angle of inclination with respect to said main housing so that when said adjustable handle is held by a user, said illumination device is arranged to generate said illumination at a predetermined orientation corresponding with said angle of inclination of said adjustable handle, wherein said main housing is elongated in shape and has a front end portion, a main portion rearwardly extended from said front end portion, and a receiving cavity formed within said main housing to define a battery compartment at said main portion for accommodating a predetermined number of batteries, and an electrical compartment for receiving said illumination device, wherein said main housing further has a control portion provided at an intersection between said front end portion and said main portion for accommodating said locking mechanism of said angle adjusting arrangement and for rotatably supporting said adjustable handle, wherein said spotlight further comprises a control mechanism accommodated in said control portion of said main housing and is operatively connected to said illumination device for controlling an operation thereof, wherein said adjustable handle of said angle adjusting arrangement is elongated in shape and is rearwardly extended from said control portion of said main housing, wherein said adjustable handle has a curved cross sectional shape so as to ergonomically fit a user's hand, and when said adjustable handle is rotatably moved with respect to said main housing, an angle of inclination of said adjustable handle with respect to said main housing is altered, wherein said locking mechanism of said handle adjusting arrangement comprises a supporting shaft extended from a front end of said adjustable handle such that said adjustable handle is capable of rotating about said supporting shaft, a shaft locker supported at said control portion of said main housing and is operatively coupled with said supporting shaft, and a locker switch provided on said control portion of said main housing for selectively locking a rotational movement of said supporting shaft, wherein said adjustable handle and said supporting shaft are coupled with said shaft locker in such a manner that said supporting shaft and said adjustable handle are also capable of moving in a longitudinal manner, wherein said supporting shaft further has a locking slot formed thereon, wherein said shaft locker comprises an upper locking frame and a lower locking frame overlappedly received in said upper locking frame, wherein each of said upper locking frame and said lower locking frame has a through slot formed thereon for allowing said supporting shaft to pass therethrough, wherein said lower locking frame has locking latch inwardly extended from a sidewall of said corresponding through slot in such a manner that said locking latch is arranged to engage with said locking slot of said supporting shaft so as to restrict rotational as well as linear movement thereof.
