20080253109 | Automotive headlamp with strap-receiving compartment - A light housing member and a generator housing member configured and dimensioned to be mechanically attached to the light housing member in a first closed light emitting apparatus configuration is disclosed. The generator housing member defines a cavity. A strap assembly is configured to extend around the head of a user. The strap assembly is attached to the light housing member. A rechargeable battery is mechanically associated with the light housing member. An electrically driven light source is mechanically associated with the light housing member. The light source is positioned to output light from the light housing member. A generator is mechanically associated with the generator housing member. A crank is mechanically coupled to the generator. A generator housing member electrical connector is electrically coupled to the generator. A light housing member electrical connector is electrically coupled to the electrically driven light source. The light housing member electrical connector mates with and electrically couples to the generator housing member electrical connector when the light housing member and the generator housing member are mechanically attached to each other. | 10-16-2008 |
20080304254 | Self-powered flashlight/lantern - An illuminating device including a housing, at least one LED located within said housing, a grip handle, wherein the grip handle comprises a first shell and a second shell, wherein the first shell and the second shell join together, a rotatable shaft, coupled to the grip handle and to the housing, wherein the rotatable shaft comprises a spindle and a belt that rotates along the spindle to rotate the grip handle and the housing in a twisting motion against one another, an electric generating device received in a cavity of the grip handle, and an actuating device including a follower rotatably attached to the grip handle, including a handle pivotally attached to the follower for rotating the follower relative to the grip handle, and including a knob rotatably attached to the handle, to allow the handle to be rotated relative to the grip handle, wherein the actuating device and the electric generating device generate electric energy to energize the illuminating device. | 12-11-2008 |
20100008081 | Light for illuminating plants - Apparatus for illuminating a plant comprising an elongated support member and a housing mounted on a elongated support member is disclosed. A light is mounted on the housing. A control turns the light on or off and/or otherwise controls the light.
