US Patent:

7563001, Jul 21, 2009
Filed:

May 29, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/807465
Inventors:

Joseph Bobbin - Nanticoke PA, US
John Devaney - Mountain Top PA, US
Mark Dirsa - Shavertown PA, US
Assignee:

Koehler-Bright Star, Inc. - Hanover Township PA
International Classification:

F21V 33/00
US Classification:

362253, 362190, 362191, 362200, 362208
Abstract:

An adapter for a portable light source permits a module to be attached to the portable light source and powered by the power source of the portable light source. In one embodiment of the invention, the power source is a battery and the adapter includes a bottom plate and a housing defining a compartment that holds the module. In this embodiment, the bottom plate of the adapter features a positive contact opening and a negative contact opening adapted to receive and electrically communicate with the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The bottom plate of the adapter also includes positive and negative contact leads which communicate with the contact openings and the module so that the latter receives power from the battery.

US Patent:

20080169788, Jul 17, 2008
Filed:

Jan 14, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/008790
Inventors:

Joseph Bobbin - Nanticoke PA, US
Mark Dirsa - Shaverlown PA, US
International Classification:

H02J 7/00
H01M 6/42
G08B 21/18
H05B 37/02
US Classification:

320135, 320136, 429149, 340650, 315291, 3406361
Abstract:

A battery pack features a shock-absorbing and sealed construction and an electronic control module that provides automatic recovery circuitry in the event of a short circuit in the load whereby the power is terminated and then restarted at a lower level so that removal of the short circuit may be detected. Full power is restored to the load when the short circuit is removed. In addition, the electronic control module of the battery pack uses the battery pack load, such as a cap lamp, to provide an indication of a low battery charge level. The electronic control module also provides a soft-start feature where the power provided to the bulb is ramped up to avoid current in-rush to the bulb during startup.

Filed:

Jan 9, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/351618
Inventors:

JOSEPH BOBBIN - Nanticoke PA, US
John Devaney - Mountain Top PA, US
Mark Dirsa - Shaverton PA, US
International Classification:

F21V 21/084
F21L 4/00
US Classification:

362106, 362190
Abstract:

A cap lamp system features a battery pack, a cap lamp housing containing a cap lamp bulb and a power cord connected between the battery pack and the cap lamp housing. The power cord provides power to the cap lamp bulb from the battery pack. An electronic module includes a housing defining a chamber and electronic circuitry is positioned within the chamber of the housing. The electronic module is positioned in circuit with the power cord. The electronic module may receives power from the battery pack and the electronic circuitry of the electronic module may includes a battery that powers the module.
