Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
In a submersible electric lamp having an air impervious housing defining an enclosure for retaining a predetermined volume of air, and having an opening through which a limited amount of water may pass into the housing upon submersion of the housing in water to a level below said opening thereby trapping the air within the housing and creating a force sufficient to prevent the water from rising above a predetermined level, and an electric lamp carried within said housing above said predetermined level, the improvement comprising retaining means within said housing for selectively retaining a lens and reflector module inserted within said housing in optical alignment with said electric lamp, and at least one lens and reflector module selectively insertable into engagement with said retaining means in said housing for positioning said lens and reflector module in optical alignment with said electric lamp.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
In a submersible electric lamp having an air impervious housing defining an enclosure for retaining a predetermined volume of air, and having an opening through which a limited amount of water may pass into the housing upon submersion of the housing in water to a level below said opening thereby trapping the air within the housing and creating a force sufficient to prevent the water from rising above a predetermined level, and an electric lamp carried within said housing above said predetermined level, the improvement comprising retaining means within said housing for selectively retaining a lens and reflector module inserted within said housing in optical alignment with said electric lamp, and at least one lens and reflector module selectively insertable into engagement with said retaining means in said housing for positioning said lens and reflector module in optical alignment with said electric lamp.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
The submersible electrical lamp of claim 1 wherein said air impervious housing includes a front wall, a rear wall, and a pair of transparent side walls, and said retaining means is carried by said front wall and said rear wall adjacent to each of said side walls.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The submersible electric lamp defined by claim 2 wherein said lens and reflector module is positionable adjacent one of said transparent side walls.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The submersible electric lamp defined by claim 3 further including a locating means formed on said lens and reflector module for positioning said lens and reflector module mutually exclusively adjacent to only one of said transparent side walls.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The submersible electric lamp defined by claim 4 further including a rear signal lamp lens and reflector assembly carried by said air impervious housing adjacent to and secured with the front wall thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The submersible electric lamp defined by claim 1 wherein said electric lamp carried within said air impervious housing is supported on a bulb slide insertable through the opening in said housing.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
The submersible electric lamp defined by claim 6 wherein said bulb slide includes a reflector portion positioned between the bulb and rear wall of the lamp housing to reflect the light radiating therefrom through the forward wall of said housing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
The submersible electric lamp defined by claim 6 which said electric lamp supported on said bulb slide is positioned in optical alignment with said lens and reflector module to direct light therethrough.
