Abstract

A clamp lamp uses two clamping parts to clamp an outer casing of a monitor stably. In an embodiment, the clamp lamp also uses a C-shaped resilient clip for convenience of clamping a light source thereof. In another embodiment, the clamp lamp also uses a C-shaped resilient clip for convenience of clamping a light source thereof, and a resilient part for assisting the clamping. In another embodiment, the clamp lamp also uses the two clamping parts to clamp the outer casing by touching front and rear surfaces of the outer casing simultaneously; therein, the portion of one clamping part that touches the front surface is shorter than the portion of the other clamping part that touches the rear surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A clamp lamp for clamping an outer casing of a monitor, the outer casing having a front surface, a rear surface, and an upper surface connecting the front surface and the rear surface, the clamp lamp comprising:
a light source;
a first clamping part, the first clamping part having a first holding portion and a lamp connecting portion, the first holding portion having a first end portion and a second end portion, the lamp connecting portion connected to the first end portion, the light source being connected by the lamp connecting portion; and
a second clamping part, the second clamping part having a second holding portion, the second holding portion being movably connected to the second end portion of the first holding portion, wherein when the clamp lamp clamps the outer casing, the first end portion protrudes upward from the front surface and the upper surface, and the light source is above the upper surface and the front surface.

2. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , wherein the lamp connecting portion is a C-shaped resilient clip, the light source provides a light projected from a gap of the C-shaped resilient clip.

3. The clamp lamp of claim 2 , wherein the light source is rotatable relative to the C-shaped resilient clip for adjusting an angle of the light projected from the gap.

4. The clamp lamp of claim 3 , further comprising a limitation structure for limiting an angular range of the light source.

5. The clamp lamp of claim 4 , the limitation structure comprising a limitation slot on the C-shaped resilient clip and a protrusion on the light source, wherein the angular range of the light source relative to the C-shaped resilient clip is limited by the protrusion within the limitation slot.

6. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , wherein the light source has a long main casing, the lamp connecting portion is connected to a middle portion of the long main casing, and when the clamp lamp is disposed on the outer casing of the monitor, the long main casing extends in a left-right direction relative to the outer casing.

7. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , wherein the first holding portion has a first slip-proof pad, the second holding portion has a second slip-proof pad, and when the clamp lamp is disposed on the outer casing, the first slip-proof pad abuts against the front surface, and the second slip-proof pad abuts against the rear surface.

8. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , wherein the lamp connecting portion is pivotally connected to the first holding portion.

9. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , the second clamping part further comprising a counterweight disposed on the second holding portion, wherein when the first clamping part and the second clamping part clamp the outer casing, the counterweight and the light source are located at two sides of the outer casing.

10. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , wherein the light source has a socket on a surface of the light source, for receiving an external electric power.

11. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , wherein the lamp connecting portion is a C-shaped resilient clip, and the C-shaped resilient clip and the first holding portion are formed in a single piece.

12. The clamp lamp of claim 1 , the first holding portion further comprising a supporting portion and an abutting portion, wherein the supporting portion and the abutting portion are formed in a single piece and perpendicular to each other, an end portion of the supporting portion bends and extends in a direction away from the abutting portion, the second holding portion has a curved surface, and when the clamp lamp is disposed on the outer casing, the abutting portion touches the front surface, the second holding portion touches the rear surface through the curved surface, and the supporting portion is above the upper surface.

13. A clamp lamp for clamping an outer casing of a monitor, comprising:
a light source;
a first clamping part, the first clamping part having a first holding portion and a C-shaped resilient clip connected to the first holding portion, the light source being clamped by the C-shaped resilient clip, the light source providing a light in front of a screen of the monitor;
a resilient part; and
a second clamping part, the second clamping part having a second holding portion, the first holding portion and the second holding portion being movably connected with each other, wherein the resilient part is disposed where the first holding portion and the second holding portion are connected, for making the first holding portion and the second holding portion approach each other.

14. The clamp lamp of claim 13 , wherein the first holding portion has a first slip-proof pad, the second holding portion has a second slip-proof pad, the outer casing has a front surface and a rear surface, and when the clamp lamp is disposed on the outer casing, the first slip-proof pad abuts against the front surface, and the second slip-proof pad abuts against the rear surface.

15. The clamp lamp of claim 13 , wherein the outer casing comprises a front surface, a rear surface, and an upper surface connecting the front surface and the rear surface, the first holding portion comprises a supporting portion that has an end portion bending and protruding upward, the C-shaped resilient clip is connected to the end portion, the light source has a long main casing clamped by the C-shaped resilient clip, and when the clamp lamp clamps the outer casing, the supporting portion is above the upper surface, the long main casing extends in a left-right direction relative to the outer casing, and the light source is raised by the first holding portion above the upper surface.

16. A clamp lamp for clamping an outer casing of a monitor, the outer casing having a front surface, a rear surface, and an upper surface connecting the front surface and the rear surface, the clamp lamp comprising:
a first clamping part, the first clamping part having a first holding portion and a light source connected to the first holding portion, the light source providing a light in front of the front surface, the first holding portion comprising an abutting portion; and
a second clamping part, the second clamping part having a second holding portion, the first holding portion and the second holding portion being movably connected with each other, the abutting portion being shorter than the second holding portion, wherein when the clamp lamp clamps the outer casing, the abutting portion touches the front surface, and the second holding portion touches the rear surface.

17. The clamp lamp of claim 16 , the first holding portion further comprises a supporting portion, wherein when the clamp lamp clamps the outer casing, the supporting portion is above the upper surface, and the second holding portion and the light source are located at two sides of the outer casing.

18. The clamp lamp of claim 16 , further comprising a resilient part, wherein the resilient part is disposed where the first holding portion and the second holding portion are connected, for making the first holding portion and the second holding portion approach each other.

19. The clamp lamp of claim 18 , wherein the first holding portion has a first slip-proof pad, the second holding portion has a second slip-proof pad, and when the clamp lamp is disposed on the outer casing, the first slip-proof pad abuts against the front surface, and the second slip-proof pad abuts against the rear surface.

20. The clamp lamp of claim 16 , wherein the first holding portion has an end portion protruding upward from the front surfac
