Abstract
Abstract A high intensity lamp system for fireman's use and similar users provides a specially shaped base with an angle-adjustment of a reflector-equipped high intensity lamp extending from a junction box on the base; the base special shape includes at one end a "J"-section channel hook for hanging the system on a door or the like free of twisting; an arcuate cutout centrally in the edge of "J"-section channel hook provides for hanging the system on a nail or the like; at the opposite end of the base a planar projection of the base beyond the junction box provides for mounting the system by clamping or by slipping into a slot. The junction box receives a twist-lock type electrical supply plug in a socket for power input and provides two output sockets, eliminating need for extra extension cords. Special provisions permit adjusting the angle of the lamp head without danger of burning the hands of the user.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
In a system of high intensity reflector-equipped lamp, base, current input means, current output means, and hanging means, the improvement comprising: means for manually adjusting the angle of the high-intensity reflector-equipped lamp relative to said base, means for preventing burning of the hands during said manual adjusting, said hanging means including means for hanging the system on doors and the like free of twisting when hung; the current output means including a junction box; the means for manually adjusting including: a pivotal connection mounting the high intensity reflector-equipped lamp to the junction box and means for clamping said pivotal connection; the means for preventing burning comprising: a thermally insulative strip on said reflector located for gripping during said manual adjusting, a handle on said base thermally remote from the high-intensity reflector-equipped lamp and located for gripping during said manual adjusting, and said means for clamping having an operative end with a standoff, the standoff locating the operative end away from said high intensity reflector-equipped lamp.
Claim 2
