Rotating Handle Light Source for Hands-Free Targeted Illumination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Utility bag users face inconvenience when trying to access light sources, such as flashlights, especially when hands are full, as they require extra weight and are not always suitable for the working area.
Innovation Solution
A lighting device with a rotating light source body attached to a handle, allowing for multi-positional lighting, which can be coupled to utility bags, buckets, or other handles, featuring a swivel mechanism for precise targeting and optional sensors for automatic lighting control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a flashlight or separate lamp is used for nighttime illumination, then lighting is provided, but extra weight is carried and hands are occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the light source with the handle structure of the utility bag, creating an integrated lighting system. The light source is mounted within the handle assembly, allowing users to have hands-free illumination without carrying separate flashlights or lamps.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle structure serves multiple functions: it provides the structural support for carrying the bag, and simultaneously houses the lighting system. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate lighting devices while maintaining portability and ease of use.
2Illumination intensity
If a lamp is used for illumination, then lighting is provided, but it is inappropriate for the working area
Solution Approach 1:
The light source is designed to be rotatable or adjustable within the handle structure, allowing users to dynamically change the direction and positioning of the light beam. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the lighting to adapt to different working areas and angles, making it suitable for various illumination needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting system provides localized illumination directed at specific working areas rather than general ambient lighting. The adjustable positioning allows the light to be focused on the immediate work zone, providing appropriate illumination for hands-free operation in various contexts.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a rotating light source body is added for multi-positional lighting, then lighting adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light source body incorporates a rotating mechanism that allows it to pivot or swivel to different positions. This dynamic element enables the light to be directed at various angles and positions, providing multi-positional lighting capability while integrating into the handle structure.
