Holders for a light source
It is described herein various embodiments of a holder for a light source. In some embodiments, the holder comprises a first arm and a second arm with each arm attached to a pivot member ( 300 ) having a pivot member central axis. In other embodiments, the holder comprises a housing attached to a first planar surface of a mounting base with a first bracket attached to a second planar surface of the mounting base proximate with a mounting base first end and a second bracket attached to the second planar surface of the mounting base proximate with a mounting base second end which is opposite the mounting base first end.
1. A holder ( 10 ) for a light source ( 20 ) comprising:
a first arm ( 100 ) having a first arm first end ( 110 ) and a first arm second end ( 120 ) opposite the first arm first end, said first arm first end comprising a first clip ( 130 );
a second arm ( 200 ) having a second arm first end ( 210 ) and a second arm second end ( 220 ) opposite the second arm first end, said second arm first end comprising a second clip ( 230 );
a pivot member ( 300 ) having a pivot member central axis ( 310 ), said pivot member central axis being substantially perpendicular to one or both of the first arm and/or the second arm; and
wherein said first arm second end is connected to the pivot member at a first location, said second arm second end is connected to the pivot member at a second location, said first arm and said second arm are configured to pivot around the pivot member central axis, and said pivot member is configured to frictionally engage with the light source.
2. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the first arm and the first clip are made of a first single integral piece of material.
3. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the second arm and the second clip are made of a second single integral piece of material.
4. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the first arm, the second arm, and the pivot member are made of one integral piece of material.
5. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the first clip is slideably connected to the first arm.
6. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the second clip is slideably connected to the second arm.
7. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the first clip is configured to frictionally engage with a first mounting bolt ( 30 ) of a visual flow indicator or sight flow indicator, and the second clip is configured to frictionally engage with a second mounting bolt ( 40 ) of a visual flow indicator or sight flow indicator.
