Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional flashlights and pistol-type lights face limitations in adjusting lighting direction, require user hand movement for large-angle adjustments, and lack stability and versatility in use scenarios, leading to user fatigue and limited functionality.

Innovation Solution

A longitudinally gripping light device with a detachable gripping handle that allows 360-degree lighting direction adjustment, retractable support for stability, and a swivel hook for hanging, combined with a focus adjustable pistol type spotlight and swivel hook pistol light for enhanced usability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user holds the barrel horizontally to emit light, then the light can be emitted into the environment, but the rotation angle is limited and large-angle adjustment requires moving the standing position or swinging the entire arm

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting direction adjustmentVSAvoidbody movement requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the gripping dimension from horizontal to longitudinal, allowing the light head to rotate 360 degrees around the longitudinal axis. This dimensional change enables full-directional lighting adjustment without requiring body movement, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the user holds the barrel in an offset position for long time, then the lighting direction can be maintained, but the user's hand becomes fatigued and sore

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelighting direction stabilityVSAvoidhand comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By enabling 360-degree rotation around the longitudinal axis, the light head can be positioned in any direction without requiring the hand to maintain an awkward offset grip. This allows natural hand positioning while achieving stable lighting direction, resolving the contradiction between stability and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the conventional flashlight structure is used, then the device is simple, but it cannot be fixed or hung at a certain area to provide stable spot lighting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a hook structure that enables the flashlight to be hung on various objects, adding a mounting function to the traditional handheld design. This multi-functionality allows the device to adapt to different usage scenarios including fixed positioning and hands-free operation, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structure complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
