Abstract:
1. An inspection light support device comprising, a first support member rotatably mounted near the top of an upstanding support, the upstanding support being supported at its bottom by a base, the first support member being rotatably movable with respect to the upstanding support about a first axis and having means between the first support member and the upstanding support that is sufficient for maintaining the first support member in a static generally horizontal position against the force of gravity unless intentionally moved to another position by manually applied force, a second support member having a first part rotatably movable with respect to the first support member about a second axis by means of a rotatable connection, the second axis being generally perpendicular to and offset from the first axis and a second part, the first part and the second part having a degree of friction between the first part and the second part that is sufficient to maintain the first part in a static position against the force of gravity unless intentionally moved to another position by manually applied force, one of the first and second parts including a plurality of circular contacts insulatedly separated from one another and the other one of the first and second parts including a plurality of contact elements, each of said contact elements being resiliently urged against one of the circular contacts to establish a sliding electrical connection between them permitting full axial relative rotation between them, a first plurality of electrically conductive wires extending from one of either the plurality of circular contacts or the plurality of contact elements to a light, a second plurality of electrically conductive wires extending from the other of the plurality of circular contacts or the plurality of contact elements to a power cord, and an atttachment member for mounting the inspection light to the second support member.
