Patent ID: 7284880

Claim:
A security device with rotating floodlights, comprising in combination: a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, side walls, a front wall, a back wall, and having an open cavity defined by the walls; a motion detector mounted on the front wall of the housing; a control circuit located in the cavity of the housing, and electronically coupled to the motion detector; a motor located in the cavity, having a top surface and a bottom surface, and being electronically coupled to the control circuit; a motor shaft extending from the top surface of the motor; a drive platform having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being engage with the motor shaft; a first turntable and a second turntable, the turntables having a top surface and a bottom surface, and the bottom surface of the turntables being permanently mounted on the top wall of the housing; a first lamp base platform and a second lamp base platform, the lamp base platforms having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface of the first lamp base platform being secured to the top surface of the first turntable, and the bottom surface of the second lamp base platform being secured to the top surface of the second turntable; a first lamp socket pivotally mounted on the top surface of the first lamp base platform for receiving a flood light, a second lamp socket pivotally mounted on the top surface of the second lamp base platform for receiving a flood light or the like, and the lamp sockets being electronically coupled to the control circuit; a first flood light connected to the first lamp socket, and a second flood light connected to the second lamp socket; at least three posts, each post having a first end and a second end, the first end of a first post fixed to the top surface of the drive platform, the first end of a second post fixed to the top surface of the first lamp platform and the first end of a third post fixed to the top surface of the second lamp platform; a first linkage and a second linkage, each linkage having an opening defined at a first end and a second end, the first end of the linkages being secured to the second end of the first post, the second end of the first linkage being secured to the second end of the second post and the second end of the second linkage being secured to the second end of the third post; and as the control circuit receives an appropriate signal generated by the motion detector, the control circuit operates to power the lights and engage the motor to rotate the motor shaft in a clockwise manner.
