Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
228 words
A lamp for a picture-screen work station comprising a base including means for securing said base to a support, a holder of bar shape swingably articulated to said base, two non-coaxially lamp bodies each independently movably articulated to said holder, a light bulb having a predetermined width being mounted in an interior of each of said lamp bodies, said holder includes joint means for moving said holder, each of said two lamp bodies are of substantially identical elongated shape, each of said lamp bodies comprises substantially a narrow, rectangular prism casing defining said interior as a narrow channel and having an opening at a first longitudinal narrow side of said narrow channel of said rectangular prism casing from which light from said bulb emerges, said light bulb being mounted in the channel adjacent a second longitudinal narrow side of said narrow channel of said rectangular prism casing opposite and spaced from said opening and being parallel longitudinally thereto, said second longitudinal narrow side of said narrow channel of said rectangular prism casing has formed thereon a convex surface facing toward said opening, said rectangular prism casing has a narrowest width adjacent said second longitudinal narrow side substantially equal to the width of said bulb, and said rectangular prism casing having a longitudinal length and height which is large relative to said narrowest width of said rectangular prism casing.
