Abstract
Abstract This articulated arm lamp comprises a base (2) for supporting first and second mutually articulated arms (3,4); the second arm (4) furthermore supports, at one end, a paraboloid (5) which contains a light source (20); first and second arms (3,4) are supported by a flexible element (6) which is also simultaneously adapted to conduct electric current from the base (2) to the light source.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
An articulated arm lamp, comprising a base (2) for supporting first and second mutually articulated arms (3,4), said second arm (4) supporting, at one end, a paraboloid (5) for the containment of a light source (20), characterized in that it comprises at least one flexible element (6) for supporting said first and said second arms and simultaneously for conducting electric current from said base (2) to said light source (20).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
An articulated arm lamp, comprising a base (2) for supporting first and second mutually articulated arms (3,4), said second arm (4) supporting, at one end, a paraboloid (5) for the containment of a light source (20), characterized in that it comprises at least one flexible element (6) for supporting said first and said second arms and simultaneously for conducting electric current from said base (2) to said light source (20).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A lamp according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises guiding elements (7-11) for said at least one flexible element (6) for the movement thereof relatively to said arms (3,4) in contrast with and by virtue of elastic means (12).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
77 words
An articulated arm lamp, comprising a base (2) for supporting first and second mutually articulated arms (3,4), said second arm (4) supporting a lighting body (5), characterized in that it comprises at least one flexible element (6) for supporting said first and said second arms (3,4) guiding elements (7-11) being furthermore provided for said at least one flexible element (6) to move it relatively to said arms in contrast with and by virtue of elastic means (12).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
An articulated arm lamp, comprising a base (2) for supporting first and second mutually articulated arms (3,4), said second arm (4) supporting a lighting body (5), characterized in that it comprises at least one flexible element (6) for supporting said first and said second arms (3,4) guiding elements (7-11) being furthermore provided for said at least one flexible element (6) to move it relatively to said arms in contrast with and by virtue of elastic means (12).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A lamp according to claim 2 or 3, characterized in that at least one (11) of said guiding elements (7-11) is eccentrically connected at least at the articulation region between said first and said second arms (3,4).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A lamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said first arm (3) is oscillably associated with a pivot (14) which rotatably engages said base (2).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A lamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said elastic means (12) are rigidly coupled with said pivot (14) and rotatable with respect to said base (2).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
A lamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said flexible element (6) comprises a carbon fiber core (7) wrapped in a copper strand (8) and a copper strand covering (21) of abrasion-resistant polyurethane.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
A lamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said flexible element (6) has one end rigidly associated with said paraboloid (5) and the opposite end associated with said elastic means (12)
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
A lamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said elastic means comprise a spring (12) accommodated in an elongated seat (13) rigidly associated with said pivot (14).
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
43 words
A lamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said guiding elements comprise pulleys (7-11) rotatably associated respectively with said elongated seat (13), with said pivot (14) and in said articulation region between said first and said second arms (3,4).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
52 words
A lamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said flexible element (6) is always in contact with the portion of said eccentric guiding element (11) which is spaced furthest from its pivoting axis for automatically balancing said first and second arms (3,4) with respect to said base (2).
