AI Technical Summary
Existing floor lamps lack flexibility in adjusting illuminance to meet varying work area requirements due to fixed height and limited swivel adjustments.
The floor lamp is designed with a height-adjustable standpipe composed of multiple parts connected by a threaded or telescopic mechanism, allowing for precise height adjustment combined with swivel movements to optimize illuminance.
Enhances illuminance adjustment flexibility by enabling precise height and swivel adjustments, providing even better targeted lighting for the work area.

Abstract
Description
[0001] The innovation relates to a floor lamp according to the preamble of claim 1. The known floor lamp already provides favorable illumination of the work area due to the horizontally swiveling mounting of the lamp socket and lampshade. The innovation aims to further optimize the lighting of the work area. This is achieved by a floor lamp with the features of claim 1. Because the floor lamp is height-adjustable, the illuminance can be even better adapted to the respective requirements.
[0002] The innovation is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows Fig. 1: a side view of the floor lamp; Fig. 2: Parts of the standpipe in side view; Fig. 3: Parts of the standpipe in side view.
[0003] Fig. Figure 1 shows a floor lamp 1 in side view. The floor lamp 1 comprises a base 1.1. A standpipe 1.2 extends from the base 1.1. A laterally projecting arm 1.3 is attached to the free end of the standpipe 1.2. This arm 1.3 extends essentially parallel to the surface of the base 1.1 and partially exceeds its diameter. A vertically oriented sleeve 1.4 is attached to the free end of the arm 1.3, in the bore of which a support arm 1.5 is rotatably mounted. A vertically oriented support 1.6 is attached to the free end of the support arm 1.5, which supports a lampshade 1.7 and a lamp socket (not explicitly shown in the drawing). Even this known design of a floor lamp 1 allows for very targeted illumination of the work area beneath the floor lamp 1 due to the horizontal swiveling of the light source covered by the lampshade.Even greater flexibility regarding the optimal illumination of the work area is now achieved according to the innovation by making the height of the floor lamp 1 adjustable. In this way, a combination of swiveling the support arm 1.5 and adjusting the height of the floor lamp 1 allows for even finer adjustment of the illuminance on the work area below the floor lamp 1. To enable height adjustment of the floor lamp 1, the standpipe 1.2 of the floor lamp 1 is advantageously designed in multiple parts, in particular in at least two parts, as shown in the figures. As in . Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the standpipe 1.2 of the floor lamp 1 consists of at least two parts 1.2A and 1.2B, which are designed to be movable relative to each other within certain limits in the direction of the double arrow designated by reference numeral P. In a first embodiment according to Fig. 2. The two parts 1.2A and 1.2B of the standpipe 1.2 are connected to each other by a threaded connection 1.2D. By rotating the two parts 1.2A and 1.2B relative to each other, their overall length, and thus the height of the floor lamp 1, can be changed. In the Fig. In the further embodiment of the floor lamp 1 shown in Figure 3, the end pieces of the two parts 1.2A and 1.2B of the stand tube 1.2, which are to be joined, are designed with such a precise fit and low tolerance that, for example, part 1.2B can be slid into part 1.2A. Adjusting the height of the floor lamp 1 is then easily achieved by extending parts 1.2A and 1.2B telescopically. A clamping screw 1.2C located in part 1.2A secures the desired position.
